Athena Studios - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Anne O          2/10

We have just returned from a 2 weeks stay at the Athina Studios - which are classed as 2 "Stars" - maybe should read "0.2 Stars" ?

 
The brochure states “Twin Beds” – BUT we had a 4 feet wide double bed !!

There were no dining plates in the room and a minimal quantity of utensils.

The shower head was hanging off the wall and the shower cubicle leaked badly.

There was hardly any space for storing food and we had to use the sink-top as a work-top.

There was almost no drawer space.

We went 4 days without linen change, and 3 days without waste-bin (and toilet paper bin) emptying.

On cleaning, the Studios were only swept – NO MOPPING – which meant dirt and dust on the floor.

We even had to ask for a toilet roll on 2 occasions.

 
Other guests spoke of :-

Non-functioning kettles and fridges. One person on taking the kettle back was asked to pay for it. Others had to wait 4 days to get their fridges sorted.

People who paid to keep their rooms on (and then allowed other guests to shower) were asked for an additional charge.

A couple who were given mattresses for the afternoon by a departing couple who had paid for them for the whole day – were then asked for additional payment.

 
It's 5 Euros per day for Air Conditioning, 10 Euros per week for a Safe and 1 Euro per day for a sunbed-mattress.
 

The whole place was a rip-off.  The only saving-grace was the swimming pool (Hence the Rating of 2).

 

I am only glad that we hadn’t paid the full brochure price !!

NB. There are at least 2 Standards of rooms.  Nos. 1 to 10 are not too bad, 11 to 19 are chronic.  The photo shows 11 to 19 as the lower storey - complete with storage of rabbits at the rear.
