I’m normally not one to leave reviews however my experience at happy days was not the best. First of all, on arrival you have to pay over a 70 euro deposit which is not mentioned at all until you get there, you will not get this back due to using the air conditioning (which gave me and my cousin throat infections anyway) we was told that if we didn’t get any makeup blood etc anything that could stain the sheets, we would get out deposit back which was reasonable, however we left no stains and was given 20 euros of our deposit back and we was told only at the end of our holiday this would be because we used the air conditioning and because of tax. I’ve also never been to a hotel where security has been so rude. You aren’t aloud to sit on your balcony and if you make the slightest noise you are told to go to bed! We was told to get into our rooms when we was making very little noise and other people around us had speakers on their balcony but security didn’t seem to think this was a bother, but me and my cousin whispering was? It’s a shame because the staff are actually really lovely and helpful, especially those behind the bar. But apart from that that’s basically the only positive thing I could say about my experience. Also you have to pay for wifi which we also didn’t know, there was little to no service the whole time being there and as uni students we would have really appreciated being told all of these things?? Seems to me they only care about making money out of those who choose to go there, so I would not recommend coming here for your holiday unless you want to be ripped off and suffocate from the air conditioning your paying for out of...
Read moreI spent a week here along with 8 other girls and from the other reviews left about this hotel, we were nervous. However as soon as we got there we were pleasantly surprised. Owners were very nice, we had to pay a deposit and wifi/aircon payment in cash upon arrival (you get €20 back at the end of your week depending on the state of your room). They told us the rules such as no loud music on the balcony’s after 11pm, no food or drinks that weren’t bought at the hotel to be by the pool ect (these all seemed reasonable). The rooms were very modern, clean and much nicer than we were expecting. However, we did have 2 single beds and a sofa bed which is not what we thought we paid for. We had to ask for a second mattress for the sofa due to it being extremely uncomfortable. Air-con does need to be paid for but it is definitely worth it as works really well. They also only provide you with one toilet roll and no hand soap, but these can be bought from any of the shops nearby. (There’s also a tiny shop at the hotel with a few essentials in) WiFi works wells if you’re near the pool/have a room near the pool. The restaurant in the hotel was amazing as it was well priced with lots of breakfast/lunch/dinner options. However it’s also less than 5 min walk to get to old town where there’s lots or traditional Greek restraunts.
Overall, all the girls were very happy with our experience at Happy Days Studios and I’d recommend this hotel to anyone...
Read moreAt check-in, we were unexpectedly asked to pay €105 in cash — supposedly for tourist tax and a €20 deposit. However, €63 of this was for air conditioning, which was never mentioned prior to arrival. Two members of our group were sharing a room and still charged the same. No receipt was given, even when requested, which felt very unprofessional and suspicious.||The self-catering room was poorly equipped: a weak two-ring hob that barely heated anything, no microwave or toaster, and just one toilet roll provided for the entire week — we were told we had to buy more ourselves. Basic amenities were clearly lacking.||Another bizarre rule: guests are not allowed on the balcony after 11pm, regardless of how quiet or respectful they are. Security will come and tell you to go inside, which made relaxing in the evenings nearly impossible.||Staff were consistently rude and passive-aggressive, even when we approached them politely. There was a clear lack of hospitality.||Finally, I found a previous review dismissing complaints as being from “spoilt teenagers and plonkers” — a deeply unprofessional and offensive response that appears to come from someone affiliated with the hotel. If this reflects how they view and treat guests, it’s no surprise the experience was so unpleasant.||I would not recommend this place to anyone — hidden charges, poor facilities, and an unfriendly environment made for a...
