Hotel Patrai dengan Gim

The hotel was right across from the marina so in a great location to walk to most of the sites around town. There's several good restaurants close by. The hotel common area was very nice, the staff was wonderful. The pool was very welcome on a couple hot afternoons we were there. There's a rooftop bar for hanging out for drinks at night, not open until the evening though. The hotel restaurant did a nice job with lunches, the buffet breakfast was just OK for me. The rooms were a bit quirky, they were clean but functionality wasn't great. Limited places to hang anything wet, trash can almost impossible to use gracefully, tissue were about the same roughness as our paper towels, shower head a total disaster (made it work but a very poor design), plug for bathroom outside the bathroom which is inconvenient (but I think a Greek code).

My review is based on the alleged 4* of the hotel. In my very personal opinion: Positives :-) _The hotel location with the view of the sea, the bridge of Rio-Antirio and the spectacular sunset · The staff at the dining room. Although they seemed disorganised and most of them untrained, they were really kind and helpful. Separate reference should be made to the lady in the reception as she was a gem. Professional, kind, resourceful, always with a smile. The playground for little children is new and in great condition. Negatives :-( *Definitely NOT a 4 star hotel * Definitely in need of radical renovations. * Not clean, certainly not to a 4 star hotel standards. The glass doors in the room were not cleaned, the mirror in the bathroom too and when the staff came to fix the extra bed and had to move the other beds we saw that the floor (plastic carpet) hasn’t been swept thoroughly most probably in years. The curtains in the dining room were also dirty. * The pool bar and surrounding area is a mess. The furniture are so used up that their colour has been altered completely. You can see garbage and debris at the corners of the hotel. The lawn is in a really bad condition. * The pool is cleaned daily but it's only open between 11:00-19:00. I am guessing this is the lifeguard's working hours.... While we were there, one of the lifeguards was never near the pool but in the pool bar browsing through their phone and nobody seemed to care. * The quality of the food is average, at best. A lot of low quality staff like jams, cakes etc *The corridors in the room floors need immediate paint refresher.
