Our stay was for 2 nights on May 17-19, 2025. The hotel is located within walking distance to the ferry pier and is located by the sea in the center of Midilli. It is a recently restored hotel. I have been to Midilli for the 4th time and I know this place. We preferred a sea view room. Access to the hotel and check-in were easy. The reception staff did their job well and welcomed us with a smile. The hotel room has a safety deposit box, bedside reading lamps, an electric kettle, free water, coffee and tea, a table and two chairs on the balcony, a mini bar, dental kit, slippers, a full-length mirror. I was worried that the hotel would be noisy because it is located by the sea and in the center, but as an engineer I saw that it was very well insulated and never lets in any sound from the outside, and both sound and light insulation can be provided with sun-proof curtains. The air conditioner works quietly. Staying in rooms with a sea view does not mean staying in noisy rooms. You can walk from the hotel to restaurants, cafes, the beach and anywhere you want. I had already written that I wanted a quiet room away from the elevator when making the reservation, and that is what happened. It was a clean hotel. The beds were comfortable. It is suitable for short stays. You can leave your suitcases in the luggage storage when you check out. The only thing that can be said about the breakfast was that it was perfect. I can say that it was a complete Turkish Greek breakfast. The breakfast prepared using local products of Lesbos includes Lesbos cheese, Lesbos honey, other cheese varieties, home-cured olive varieties, home-made handmade cakes, pies, jams, Turkish coffee and cappuccino when requested. There are Greek bagels, fruit salads, vegetable salads, roasted vegetables, omelets and many more products that I cannot list. In addition to the variety of products, the fact that it is also delicious makes this breakfast different. I think that this hotel, which I evaluated among 3-star hotels, has a 4-star breakfast. There is variety but more importantly, there is flavor and freshness. I have one piece of advice for them, which is that the tomatoes should be sliced in cubes. If they are cut into large cubes, the tomatoes will both retain their freshness and be easier to put on the plate. You can have breakfast with a sea view. Thanks to Xara, the lady in the breakfast room.
The bathroom was very small. Because of the shape of the sink, the surroundings get wet while washing hands and face. A preauthorization charge was made from my card, when I arrived at the hotel, the receptionist told me that it was refunded. However, it has not been refunded to my card yet, I am waiting for the refund of the amount withdrawn. It is pending in provision transactions. I do not know what caused the situation, it may be related to banking transactions or booking.com, I cannot know.
