Lakis Studios — Hotel in Municipality of Western Lesvos

I'm sorry that Marjorie (review below) didn't enjoy Lakis Studios but I have to disagree with the comments. We arrived at Anaxos to find Lakis waiting for us to help us with our luggage to his studios. We had a walk-out room which was great. We don't go on holiday to cook but as long as we have a fridge for wine and beer that's great so we weren't bothered by cooking facilities but there were plenty of cups and glasses. We had storage room but let's face it, if it's not up to expectations, then you just improvise or take less luggage. The bathroom was clean and there was always an abundance of hot water. Towels and bedding were changed regularly and very discreetly too - it didn't matter what time we left our room, when we came back it was all done.||Lakis himself, was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. His chips were great - proper chips not frozen! He was on hand whenever we needed to bring food and drinks. He was constantly on the go making sure that everyone was happy. We were pleased to meet his parents too - despite being in later years, they too did lots of jobs around the complex. His mother is a diamond and we had big hugs the night before we left.||Our neighbouring guest, a really lovely lady, had some mobility issues but Lakis looked after her and even secured her a mobility scooter so she could whizz around the resort! He arranged taxis for us to Molivos too.||Wifi was available by the pool bar and if you have to complain that you can't get a good signal in your room then perhaps forget going to a charming Greek resort and stick to Benidorm!||All in all, if you want 5* facilities then you need to pay 5* prices! Lakis Studios are small, therefore you get a very personal service. It is near to lovely restaurants and unspoiled with very friendly locals. We definitely want to return. As for Lakis himself...

Our second visit to Lesvos, but first to Anaxos.|Arrived in Anaxos around 2pm and was dropped off at the top of the lane. Lakis was there to meet us and showed us to our room, helping us with our luggage. Its just a minute or two walk. |We had room 5 at the back of the hotel, which looked over Lakis's vegetable garden with mountains in the distance. It was beautifully peaceful, with hens scratching around and kittens playing. |The room was small with a double bed, a tiny kitchen area with a 2 ring hob, kettle and sink. There was cutlery and crockery for two, glasses and a couple of saucepans. We didn't cook or eat in the room, so the lack of space wasn't a problem for us. |Room was kept clean, beds and towels changed regularly. Bed was very firm, but we got used to it and slept well. |AC worked well, and costs extra.|Shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. |Lovely pool area with plenty of sunbeds and shades, no sunbed wars here! |Lakis makes a great Harvey Wallbanger and an even better Pina Colada, and the food is very good, I'm missing his Greek Salads, and he would often sit and chat with us before taking our order. |The beach is just a few minutes walk down the lane, and sunbeds are free if you eat/drink at their taverna.|If you're after a peaceful relaxing no frills traditional Greek holiday Lakis Studios are the...

My experience here was the complete opposite of the previous reviewer and the only reason I can think of for so many inaccuracies are that they want to keep this gem of accommodation a secret so they can come here on holiday whenever they want. |Lakis was so friendly and was available from 8am until all guests were in there rooms. I have never been to a place where I was made to feel so comfortable , relaxed and where nothing was a problem.|The resort as stated online is small but has everything that a holiday maker needs including several food/souvenir shops, restaurants and bistros both on the main road and seafront which serve lovely authentic food at a reasonable price not to mention that Lakis himself serves food and drink from breakfast to bedtime.|The only thing I agree with is the shower needs upgrading and while there is little English TV (we are in Greece), there is plenty of storage in the room with a snall set of drawers, a shelved cupboard and a double wardrobe. The cooking area is small but has plenty of mugs and glasses with a modern kettle and a...
