Villa Athena

Food terrible, hotel basic but clean,balcony view was awful,air-conditioning non existent. Reception unhelpful. Parking awful so I would advise not to hire a car.

Old hotel,outside no this named villa athene but sportinghotel baia. This is the smaller building, very hard to locate, even taxi did not know this. Small room, time to time bad smell in the bathroom. Breakfast ok in the other building. Sausage and bacon cold. Coffee good, juice ☹️. All week changing school groups yelling, running up and down, srceaming,breaking things late after midnight. Reception can not do anything ??!! So we listened grazy noise all week. Not very friendly staff, excpesially in the reseption. I think ALL customers must be important. They knew the noise problem but did nothing. Beds went broke but they just changed those ?? Did not care at all our complates. Awful place because can not sleep in the evening because noise from the near street and children. Pupils left early and at 8 came cleaning ladys. Downstairs there is a bar with nice staff and best coffee in the city👍 Never coming back.

When we arrived our transfer chap couldn’t find the hotel, we eventually found it behind the sporting Baia hotel of which it is a dependant.the room was really clean and comfortable though with an apauling view from the balcony (a delpidated brick wall) the room was cleaned daily and linens changed. All our meals were taken at the sporting Baia next door where the restaurant was amazing my friend who I was traveling with is vegetarian and the staff were really kind on a couple of occasions getting the chef to make her mashed potatoes with cheese really delicious.ther is a very varied buffet of salads and veg very useful if you don’t eat meat,there was a choice of pasta each night and then a choice of fish or a meat dish authentic Italian very nicely served.the staff at the hotel were very good.the hotel is right on a fabulous beach and with a bus stop just across the road
