Dimis Hotel - (Accommodation in Laganas)

Jen M          5/10

Mixed opinions about this hotel...Some aspects are good, and the overall stay was good; however, a number of bad points aswel... Arrived very early morning at the apartments and were quite shocked at the lack of security in your room! The door could be shoved open (as you cant lock it from inside), the bathroom window had no handle or lock on so was constantly open, and the balcony doors weren't the most secure!! So i would definately recommend paying 10 euro's a week for the safe to get all your valuables in! We literally died from the heat as we didn't have air conditioning due to the price! There was only 2 of us and it was 7 euro's a night meaning that for our 2 week stay it was going to cost us 100 euro's! Rip off!! Dogs bark literally ALL night long, the pool side bar plays loud music until late and then the music starts again early morning meaning you're up pretty early! Food at the pool side bar is very good and available all day and night at pretty reasonable prices. There are 2 pools; both of which are good. The room is pretty basic but on a holiday, you're not in it too much anyway, however throughout our 2 week stay, it didnt get cleaned ONCE! A cleaner comes and empties the bins each day but nothing else, and there are no cleaning appliances for you to be able to do it yourself so the bathroom and room floor were filthy by the end! The staff at the hotel are not friendly at all, so make sure you don't get on their bad side! The final bad point is that it is a trek away from all the action! It's approx 15 minutes walk to the strip (where the main restaurants/bars/clubs start) and then another 20 minutes from there to the beach. On the plus, it keeps you fit!! It sounds like I've slated the hotel which to be honest, there are a lot of bad things about it; however! we had an amazing holiday-maybe due to the people we met. Like i said, the pool area was brill and the rooms did the job! Oh also, make sure you shower before 8pm!!! Otherwise you will definately not get a warm one! We had many a freezing cold shower due to the hot water running out! If you want a cheap, good fun holiday, with a 2 good pools, a lively atmosphere and lots of people aged 18-25, then it's perfect, however if you're one for wanting a slightly nicer holiday, choose different accomodation!
