Paridian Elegant Living — Hotel in Paros Municipality

The location and interior of the hotel is somewhat acceptable, however, there is AN IMPORTANT thing you need to consider. The website says the Deluxe Room is 23 sq m, but prepare for the fact you could get a 10 sq m room for the same price at this hotel… We were shocked when we saw the size of the room (we paid 675€ for 4 days), and there was not enough space to open a suitcase… It is an obvious scam to promise a 23 sqm room and give a barely 10 sqm room. Meanwhile there are rooms that match the description, and they cost the same. We requested manager’s contacts and it took us 2 days to recieve those (after popping to reception like 10 times asking the same thing). They could not give us another room coz everything was booked. The manager took another 2 hours to answer the phone, and suggested us a pathetic discount. I mean… If you book a room at this hotel, either be very specific about the room size that you want to get, or prepare to pay a lot of money for the room that is not worth it. Oh and no, the rooms are not being cleaned, cleaners just walk in and out giving you an illusion of cleaning. And a ghost kept unsticking towel crooks in our bathroom. This Hotel is full of magical tricks, I would rather go to a circus if I wanted to pay for some clownery, but...

What a joke. Paid for a 23m² room, got something closer to a glorified broom closet. I measured it: 12.1m². Half the size. Even the 23m² are only 20m² They would’ve kept quiet if we hadn’t said anything, fully ready to pocket the difference and hope we were too sunburnt to notice.

When we called them out, they just stared at the floor like kids caught stealing candy, except worse, because they knew what they were doing. No apology, no upgrade, no shame. Their “solution”? One day of free sunbeds and a bottle of wine, like they were compensating us for a bad Tinder date, not a bait-and-switch scam. Honestly felt like being mugged and handed a soda after.

And then, the safe. Oh god. Not even bolted down. Just a cute little metal box, sitting there like a gift for any half-motivated thief. You could walk out with it under your arm like a damn lunchbox. “Security” apparently.

Avoid at all costs. Unless you like being lied to, shortchanged, and insulted with a bottle of cheap wine. In that case, this place...
