Hara Studios and Apartments

"I’ll start this off with the classic, “I typically don’t write reviews…”, but I really don’t write reviews about budget hotels, ever. I’m very lucky that I am able to travel and I love Greece. The customer service for this was just so bad I can’t help it. My wife and I recently stayed at Hara Studios & Apartments while in Paros. We knew it wouldn’t be a luxury place. In fact, we booked it because it was fairly cheap for the 5 nights we were there. This was our second time in Greece and have stayed in budget places before. But this was the first time it was truly a “get what you paid for” type of situation. We stayed in a better place in the middle of Sicily with no air conditioning. I didn’t realize just how terrible it would be. We stayed in Room 3, which is all the way up on the top of the building. They say it’s only three flights, it’s five. That really didn’t bug me, I understand it’s a Greek Island. I wouldn’t expect elevators. Like I said, we’ve stayed in budget places before so again, I can’t complain about the room itself. It was the bathroom that forced us to leave after two nights. The shower was practically unusable. Water would just spray from the shower head and soak the entire floor. The tiny curtain for the shower stuck to your skin constantly and was disgusting, it looked like it had never been washed. I brought the issue up to the lady at reception to which she responded, “the cleaning lady comes and brings fresh towels everyday”. She probably just didn’t understand what I meant. We tried to tough it out, we really didn’t want to spend more money finding a new place. It was the end of our trip and we were just going to deal with it. The next morning we found bugs in the shower from where it didn’t really dry completely, even after the cleaning lady came. We decided we were going to check out early, I told the receptionist again and that we were leaving because of the issues with the bathroom. She was nice, nothing against her. I asked if we could get refunded for the nights we didn’t stay, they could keep the deposit (that’s what it’s for), she called the hotel manager and he flat out refused to refund us for the unused nights because it was a “last minute check out”. Instead of fighting, I just walked away and sent them an email. No response. Crazy unprofessional. You would think a hotel manager would want to speak to the customer personally to resolve the issue. DO NOT STAY HERE, ever. The sheets felt like stiff dryer sheets, the pillows were overly used and flat, and the towels were god knows how old. There’s plenty of better places to stay and better parts of the island for the same price. We ended up finding a very nice AirBnB on the opposite side of the island for roughly the same price and a prettier view. Also, if you’re going to Paros, don’t stay in Naousa. It’s just a gross part of Paros in general. Insanely touristy, dirty streets and beaches, and not the friendliest locals (which I get, it’s touristy). We will "

Paliomylos Spa Hotel

"This hotel was a perfect place to explore Paros - from the moment we walked in our hotel we received a warm welcome from Vicky and all the staff we met. A short walk to the village center where there were lots of shopping and restaurants We had a lovely room that faced the pool with an amazing view! The rooms are sparkling clean and the daily room service is great! The room has dishes and a hot plate we never used! Back of the hotel is a sweet beach which felt like our personal beach! The included breakfast was incredible! As was the food on the rooftop! Incredible service ❤️We did rent a car and we were grateful to have to explore other parts of the island! The car was waiting for us at the hotel and the agency picked it up on the day we were departing! Yes I want to go back as soon as possible!!"
