Elena Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Mykonos

We stayed for a week at the end of October (25th-1st Nov) and despite some things being closed for the season, we still had a lovely time. The hotel itself is in a great location. It's just a few minutes walk to Mykonos Town, where there's plenty of shops, restaurants and bakeries. This hotel is only a 10 minute drive from the airport, making everything so easy and convenient. But be warned, Mykonos is quite windy so make sure you bring a few hoodies with you to keep yourself warm, especially in the evenings when it feels a little chilly. ||The breakfast that is included in this hotel was just right as there's plenty to choose from. Bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, fruit, yoghurt, pastries etc. The marble cake was absolutely delicious and even the cats outside wanted a slice. 😂 ||As for the room itself, the hotel room was a nice, standard-size room that came with a balcony. I would have preferred the room to be a little bit bigger with complimentary tea and coffee but it was still okay. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were SO soft and cosy - it was like sleeping on a giant mash mellow! However, one thing that definitely needed improving was the bathroom. It really could do with a bit of TLC. It has a lovely hot shower and comes with a hairdryer and a few toiletries but we did notice a few tiles had come off the walls and there were patches of mould on the walls. Sadly, the mould got worse during our stay. There's no fan in the bathroom for ventilation, just a small window but I believe they are going to renovate the bathrooms next year. It wasn't terrible but the bathroom could have been a bit better.||One thing that didn't let us down though, were the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and gave us lots of advice on what we should see and do. Pablos (G.O.A.T) was amazing and really went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. On our second to last day, he offered to drive us around Mykonos to take in the beautiful views that surround a very unique Lighthouse. The wind was very strong but the sights were amazing! What's more, Pablos also took us to explore Paraga Beach and this was a truly stunning beach! It was absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I got to see it. My friend and I really appreciated Pablos taking time out of his day, to help us take in the beautiful sights that Mykonos has to offer. ||Overall, if you're looking for a cute, little hotel that's not too fancy, then Elena hotel is the right place. Although, it doesn't come with a pool or a jacuzzi or anything like that, the staff members and the location definitely...

Nach außen hin sieht dieses kleine Stadthotel sehr freundlich aus.||Innen war es das teilweise aber gar nicht.||Bei der Ankunft am 16.3.2016 am Abend gegen 19:30 Uhr an einem kühlen und windigen Tag wirkte die Rezeption kalt und nicht gerade einladend. Davon abgesehen, war immer die Türe offen, schließlich wurde an der Rezeption ständig geraucht. Im Frühstücksraum, im gleichen Raum wie die Rezeption gelegen, übrigens auch. Auch während des Frühstücks!||Das erste Zimmer, das ich bekam, entsprach nicht meiner Buchung. Kein Meerblick. Außerdem: Schimmel an der Badezimmerdecke. Ich "durfte" wechseln. Ausblick: dunkler Innenhof mit Klimaanlage. Ok.||Am nächsten Tag bekam ich ein Zimmer meiner Kategorie (204)||Es schien ganz nett zu sein. Nur etwas muffig.||Ich dachte, das sei bestimmt, weil es den ganzen Tag keine direkte Sonne abbekam. War ja März. Es war so kalt und feucht dort. So bat ich um einen Wechsel in ein anderes Zimmer.||Auch das funktioniere. Leider war dieses Zimmer (202) der reine Alptraum:||Es roch noch muffiger.||Ich beschloss es gut sein zu lassen und mit der AC zu heizen.||Das funktionierte, es wurde wärmer.||Der Geruch wurde mir nach drei Tagen aber zu viel. Ich suchte und fand schließlich den Übeltäter: Schimmel hinter dem Heizkörper und im Kasten (im unteren Fach, hinten versteckt). Natürlich an den Fugen und im Abzugsrohr im Bad. Leider war das nicht alles; das Bett war übersät von gelben Punkten! Feuchtigkeit! Ich beschwerte mich. Auch beim Reiseveranstalter JT. Dieser agierte über die dortige Agentur, die mit dem Hotel Kontakt aufnahm. Der Hotelier selbst bemühte sich aufgrund dessen nicht einmal aus seinem Büro, gleich hinter der Rezeption, heraus.||Wieder vergingen zwei Tage, ohne dass etwas passierte. Ich drängte erneut die junge Frau an der Rezeption zu einem Zimmerwechsel.||Resultat: ich bekam das schönste Zimmer des Hauses, die Suite.||Der Haken war jedoch: es war die letzte meiner 9 Nächte dort!!!||Fazit: Informiert euch, ob das Hotel renoviert wurde und ob sie etwas Dauerhaftes gegen den Schimmel unternommen haben. Ansonsten: die oberen Zimmer im Nebengebäude fordern oder nur für eine Nacht beim...

Stayed there one night. The room was fine however it smelt of sewage the moment we walked through the door. We thought we would air the room while we went for dinner which helped a little but when we came to shower we realised there was a problem with the water which smelt as soon as we turned on the shower or tap. We've been warned the water on the Greek Islands isn't always the best but we'd stayed in 4 other hotels prior to this and not experienced anything like it. We couldn't use the water to shower or brush our teeth, the taste and smell wasn't pleasant at all. We had to catch a flight so didn't have time to complain and no need to demand another room but it would put us off...
