Reviews Hotel Myrsina **

The Mysina Hotel in Myrties on Kalymnos, Greece.

We stayed in the Mysina hotel in July 2007. During the first week we had a room on the ground floor. As this hotel is near a busy road the room was quite noisy at night (lots of young people on scooters rushing by). The second week we were moved to the top floor and this room was much nicer. The rooms are simply furnished but clean. The sheets and the towels are replaced on a regular base. The bathroom is small and clean. There's plenty of hot water here. Breakfast is basic with a roll, jam, cake, orange juice, tea or coffee. You can order ham, cheese or a boiled egg for one euro extra.

The staff here are really friendly and helpful.

It's 76 steps from the road to the room. This place isn't suitable for elderly or disable people. There's no lift here. The room looks awful, the bed is lumpy and breakfast isn't very nice: roll, butter, jam, coffee (dishwater) and we had to pay extra for yoghurt and some cheese. This hotel is dated and it's not very good value for money.

We stayed in this hotel as part of an island hopping holiday organised by a tour operator. We had read quite a few reviews and were slightly worried about what we would find. It really wasn't that bad. It's old, looks poor and it didn't smell very nice. We had a clean bed though, towels and a/c.

The bathroom needs renovating. The water here tasted really awful. We think the pipes are old and the drain really stank! It's quite a shame as this place could be really nice if they invested in it. The staff here are really friendly. To be honest were glad we were going to leave after our three day stay as two weeks here would have been just too much. Request a room on one of the top floors as the rooms lower down smell a bit musty. The view from higher up is also much nicer. If you have a choice I wouldn't recommend staying here. This place isn't terrible but we've seen better. It's not like we wanted to leave straight away.

Best wishes Patrick and Marlies.
