Balius Mykonos — Hotel in Municipality of Mykonos

Read before you book, negative rating.||ROOMS – |Rooms or shall I rather call it a SALON, I have seen more hair and dirt in this room that in a salon, had to request everyday to clean it up but the limited staff they had they were helpless… IT IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY HERE….. AAAVVVOOOIIIDDD THIS PROPERTY ||FACITILITIES – |The only facility ie a gym with a few rusted dumbbells thrown all over in a 10x10 shed filled with garbage, glass cans, cob-webs and dust dust dust and only dust…. Suggest them to take this off and rather give something else in this tiny 10x10 space, I mean please do not insult a GYM like this.||BREAKFAST -|We stayed there for 3 nights with breakfast included in the already overly priced package. Upon check-in we were told that breakfast will be served in the room as they had some renovation going on in the restaurant – that said they gave us a very limited choice of breakfast which we had to order and they would serve us in the room. The choices were far far less than what one has in a dormitory and everything was cold due to the weather and the time it took for the breakfast to be delivered. Day 1 was still manageable but the other 2 days they informed that they had no chef and the breakfast will be sourced from elsewhere and the already limited menu was further trimmed. With no choice we had to adhere to this and the breakfast was of the most inferior quality and taste. ||Why take bookings with breakfast when you were never going to serve it, and do you actually expect people who have come in a group to sit in their rooms and have breakfast individually that too of poor quality and less quantity ordered from outside. ||GUILT -|Out of pure guilt they sent us a 100 Euro Voucher each valid for a year to be used by us only. Who will and why on earth will we go to Mykonos or Greece again and even if we ever go why will we waste money on this property. I have requested them to take the same back and do some charity or better use it towards the betterment of the property and additionally I am willing to pay 100 Euros in cash to them. Expect nothing but atleast 50% refund them.||BOTTOM LINE – |The town centre is quite far away from the property, either you need to walk down or you have to book a cab which is quite expensive. Restaurants are also far away from the property. Although the view is amazing from the hotel but considering the above aspects and service it’s a total loot, there are tonnes of better properties if you the same budget.||The management / owner has to work majorly on it’s ethical and moral values, I feel the hotel shall have informed gracefully that they won’t serve breakfast, the rooms are salon quality with hair and the gym nothing but a 10x10 rusted iron pieces lying around and the...

We spent 2 nights in this hotel during earlier November. These are some observations/feedbacks from us: The sound proofing is not good enough. At night we constantly hear the switches clicking sound from other rooms, strong wind, the door banging noise and even noises from the geese and donkey near the hotel, which disturbed our rest. The aircond heater is not working. The very kind staff did help us to adjust the heater, but to no avail. Night of early November is still very cold, we are sad that it is not working as expected. There is no bathroom door. So imagine you have to shower in a room with no heater, it’s freezing! There is no hook or anything to hang the towel too, weird enough. The sockets and plugs are not working too. We found a few which are not working, including the one nearby tv where they place the kettle and coffee machine. In the end we have to bring the kettle and coffee machine to another socket to make beverages, very inconvenient. We informed this to the receptionist on first day, and she told us the maintenance will check it on second day, but seems like nothing is done. The location of this hotel. You have to walk 10-15 mins on the dusty roadside where many cars pass by. It is too far from the town and no other means of transportation unless you pay 35 euro to hire a driver. The staffs are indeed friendly and helpful, the view from hotel is spectacular too, but we think they can work on the points mentioned...
