Kolymbia Bay Art Boutique Hotel

"We had 3 nights at this hotel and loved it, the staff are fantastic, so friendly and helpful. We had a swim up room which was a bit tired but everything worked and was cleaned very well daily. The breakfast was fab, something for everyone, excellent coffee too. We had dinner in the Bay restaurant and that was exceptional. Very good food and huge portions. Loved the pool bar, the gyros were outstanding! My friend had an accident whilst we were out in the little town and reception were brilliant helping out with a first aid box. The little supermarket next door has everything you could want and reasonably priced. Overall we had an excellent stay and would definitely return."

"Don’t book you will not be happy. The hotel is located quite some way from all the local restaurants. It is currently overlooked by a full on construction site, which is full on noise 6 days a week. During our stay they were carrying out arc welding in full view of everyone, a serious breach of Health and safety and can cause arc eye. The sun beds are filthy, the ones on the private terraces and around the pool area. The furniture in our room was broken and very old, the towel rail fell off the wall and it took 3 days for it to be put back. The website states 20 minutes transfer from the airport, in reality this is one hour. Constant smell of sewage from the drains which we could smell in the restaurant. The approach to the hotel is awful it looks like a back street in the Bronx. The list is endless and EasyJet were far from helpful with our situation. We actually tried to come home early it was that bad. I hope this review helps others to dodge a bullet! Trust me you will be thanking me"

"Positive: The hotel has a good location for excursions, is functional, and has a good breakfast and good dinner. However, we were very disappointed by the pictures and the alleged four-star level. For that, the price was simply much too high. The pictures are from the then-new hotel. The advertised sea view has not been available for a long time (construction site). This also leads to construction noise starting around 8 a.m. Our room was in need of renovation in many areas. We cannot understand the many 5-star reviews, even when comparing with other hotels on Greek islands."
