8/10
The Apollon Hotel oozes 'character'. From its vaste collection of antique and vintage furniture, my double room had two wonderful terraces and was spacious and comfortable. I was impressed that befs in the hotel have electric underblankets which keep you warm all night during winter temperatures. Split air conditioning for heat was also very helpful in keeping warm. The location of the hotel is amaxing, two minutes walk to the orthodox cathedral and the on site metropolis museum; five minutes walk to the ferry port where ai took the blue star ferry to Paros for the day and a well stocked international supermarket 'Pantelis & Co' within 3 minutes walk. I emphasise the importance of having such a supermarket near by the hotel as there us no breakfast served during the winter months. There is an electric kettle in the room as well as tea, milk and coffee and I also used the boiling water to make instant porridge/oatmeal in the morning and instant 'cup of soups'
from sachets with a sandwidch in the evenings. My room was cleaned daily and towels changed if requested by the guest. While there is no one present at reception during the winter, the owner George was reachable 24/7 by mobile phone and gave me his telephone number when I arrived at the hotel. Overall, good value for money and tge electric blankets were a welcome touch!
