Airotel Achaia Beach

the hotel is nice, located in a place outside of Patras in a neighbourhood with villas. the guy from the reception did everything to find us a double bed but in the end he brought us a baby cot and was fine. We found some hairs in the bathroom so they can clean it better. a couple of teens from a sport team booked the hotel and the staff could not handle the situation properly as there was a lot of noise and this is not the way to behave in a hotel. the beach is totally unprepared for the season and the garden as well. the garden bar was not open and the safeguard was doing his job at the pool and leaving back home. he had a plastic chain to keep the pool closed in the evening hours. They sent 2 surveys during my stay and I filled both of them but I'm not sure if they want to improve something.

Very polite stuff. Even from the phone, Efterpi in the reception was really top. Very good view from the room and generally it was a very good room. The breakfast was also very good with many-many choices to eat. I would visit this hotel again

Tasty breakfast!

We have just returned from a week at this hotel, overall, we had a nice time, having said that, we would probably not return, however, this is more due to our own preferences. Pros -The hotel room was lovely and clean, large balcony with the most amazing views of the sea and mountains- probably the best view I’ve ever had from a hotel room before -The hotel is situated on the beach and sun loungers are free and plentiful -Pool area nice and clean, no issues getting sun loungers -Toddler room which was really good for keeping little ones entertained -Fully equipped games room Cons -All inclusive is quite restrictive, alcohol drinks are limited to red/white wine, lager and ouzo only, spirits and cocktails are an extra charge. Also, ice creams only served between 11-12 & 5-6 -Food was average, the selection wasn’t huge and there wasn’t much for children to eat, be aware if you have fussy children like ours -Pool did not open until 11am- I personally feel that this is too late, especially as the afternoons get so hot -The hotel advertises it has a babysitting service- it doesn’t -There isn’t much to do in the local area, we had a rental car and even with this, there wasn’t much to do locally and there’s only so much swimming you can do! -No evening entertainment program -Limited parking at hotel This place would be perfect for couples looking for a quiet break away, however, for young families, there just isn’t enough to do, (for us anyway.) We both agreed that 4 nights would have been enough, however, the views and beachfront location made up for the lack of entertainment. If you go, make sure you check out Bodegas Summer- a beautiful beachfront restaurant with live music!

My review is based on the alleged 4* of the hotel. In my very personal opinion: Positives :-) _The hotel location with the view of the sea, the bridge of Rio-Antirio and the spectacular sunset · The staff at the dining room. Although they seemed disorganised and most of them untrained, they were really kind and helpful. Separate reference should be made to the lady in the reception as she was a gem. Professional, kind, resourceful, always with a smile. The playground for little children is new and in great condition. Negatives :-( *Definitely NOT a 4 star hotel * Definitely in need of radical renovations. * Not clean, certainly not to a 4 star hotel standards. The glass doors in the room were not cleaned, the mirror in the bathroom too and when the staff came to fix the extra bed and had to move the other beds we saw that the floor (plastic carpet) hasn’t been swept thoroughly most probably in years. The curtains in the dining room were also dirty. * The pool bar and surrounding area is a mess. The furniture are so used up that their colour has been altered completely. You can see garbage and debris at the corners of the hotel. The lawn is in a really bad condition. * The pool is cleaned daily but it's only open between 11:00-19:00. I am guessing this is the lifeguard's working hours.... While we were there, one of the lifeguards was never near the pool but in the pool bar browsing through their phone and nobody seemed to care. * The quality of the food is average, at best. A lot of low quality staff like jams, cakes etc *The corridors in the room floors need immediate paint refresher.
