We were allocated two nights here as part of a Greek island hopping package at the end of September. I think the island at this time of year particularly isn't geared up for tourists in the same way as the more popular islands. The Leandros is more in line with the 'rooms' concept rather than a hotel. The hotel is family run and friendly. There are some quite quirky objects of interest and architecture around. The hotel is situated about a 10 minute walk west of the main town opposite the new port. If you want to hire a car there is a good place on the opposite corner.||||We had a twin bedded room with a small balcony overlooking a side street but with a sea view. The room had efficient air conditioning and a small fridge. There are down sides of the accommodation. The beds have firm mattresses and ' heavy' pillows. The bathroom is very small, the toilet was leaking water over the floor, the shower area is minute with no shower screening at all. The bathroom needs to be treated more as a wet room so make sure you keep toiletries, toilet paper and towels out of reach of the spray. The bathroom window opened onto some stairs with no other ventilation other than into the room.||||We were the only two down for breakfast each morning. We were offered tea or coffee and a tray was brought with a fruit juice drink, fresh bread, jams and a sweet biscuit plus cheese triangles on the Sunday. ||||The plus sides are the owners’ real friendliness, the ‘family’ feel and the overall cleanliness. If you understand this is an authentic type of Greek accommodation then you...
Read moreWe booked this stay at The Leandros Hotel on Tinos through the local (Tinos) branch of Windmills Travel, an agency operating on Mykonos & Tinos.||The hotel is small, a dozen or so rooms on three or four floors, clean, friendly and welcoming. Very welcoming in fact, so much so that we felt like genuine guests of the family rather than just more paying punters. The room was spacious and spotless, tastefully decorated in typical Tiniot fashion, had a small fridge, TV and air-con that could chill the room to sub-arctic if you wanted. Breakfast is included and is served in a small room adjoining reception that doubles as the bar at night. It's not buffet style and consist of coffee (or tea), juice, bread, butter and spreads. "Continental Breakfast" if you like.||A (big!) plus-point was its proximity to town and the ferry port. The former a five minute walk, the latter barely two. In fact you could watch from the window till your ferry docked before leaving your room, were you so inclined.||True, in "traditional Greek" style it's a little on the basic side, having a very small bathroom (with one of those no-curtain showers that leaves anything you forget to remove dripping wet) and temperamental lighting. Having said that, it is only 2 star, and to be honest I've stayed in worse 3 star hotels in Greece and in Paris.||The price of the hotel was quite expensive for what you get, but the cheaper alternatives were out of town. Would I stay there again on my next visit to Tinos? Most certainly, but I think I'd try and...
Read moreWe were on a 5 island hopping holiday organised by Greek Sun Holidays (would recommend) and the Leandros Hotel was stop number 4. The accommodation we had previously stayed at was budget but up until now had been far beyond our expectations. The room we had was very small and the shower room was so narrow that if you leant forward on the loo seat you hit your head on the opposite wall. The Hotel itself was typical Greek and the Family who run it were very welcoming and friendly. We had a tiny balcony overlooking the street but if we looked left could see the port. Breakfast was just fresh bread, margarine and jam, tea/coffee and orange squash with a biscuit. It had free Wi-Fi but we couldn't pick it up, i think you had to be in reception to do so. For a typical Greek Budget Hotel it was ok, but I...
