Dimini Vacations from $1,002

Older hotel in a good location. Elevator really frightening for a US city girl. Expected it to be a bit more modern. View off of balcony not worth any extra cost.

We had a very negative experience during check-in. We notified the staff earlier in the day that we'll be checking in very late. When we arrived, the elevator was not functioning. We climbed a floor to reach the reception and when we asked the receptionist about the elevator, the response was "we don't expect guests to check-in at this late hour". We also requested to be given a room at a lower floor and the response we got was "no, it's on the fourth floor but you just have to carry the stairs for one night, you can manage that". Finally, we were asked to pay a tax for the visit which we had no issues with doing so. But we had to request a receipt of our payment, simply for our own records so that we wouldn't be double charged during checking out, three times!! There was apprehension from the receptionist to simply issue a receipt?? This was highly unprofessional from the hotel staff! We brought up our concerns with the manager on the following day and while he did listen, his explanation with re: to the elevator was simply along the lines of "there was a power outage in the area which is why the elevator was not working the last night". Completely different explanation than the receptionist the previous night! And if there indeed was a power outage, why was the rest of the hotel lit up? With re: to the receipts, his response was that standard process in Athens is to only issue receipts at check-out. Completely false as we NEVER experienced that at two hotel stay before this
