Palais Nikaia

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. However, I think it’s more a 3 stars hotel than a 4 stars. Room is impressively small and we can hear easily occupants in other rooms or in the corridor. For the price paid, I expect definitely more from a hotel. However, the location is amazing and it’s safe. Hotel staff were great too.

This is not a conventional hotel; Reception is often unattended and guests are trusted to look after themselves. Maids will not enter your room when you are out to tidy, clean and make the beds, though a member of staff did offer us clean towels when we needed them. For those on a budget, there are facilities for preparing and eating food in the rooms. Everything is clean and well appointed. The staff - mostly young women, as far as I could make out - are exceptionally charming and helpful. I was contacted by a staff member a day or two before our arrival, to give us instructions on how to find the hotel and access the hotel using a pass-code. She also provided prompt information when I asked for it. Our room overlooked a main road but we were not disturbed by traffic noise because double-glazing reduced external sound by at least 95%. The rooms are air-conditioned, of course. AMMI is nicely situated on the edge of the old city, just seconds from the lanes and passage-ways which make this part of town so attractive, with their bars, cafes and restaurants. I'd guess that it's a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Recommended!

First time staying. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They spoke many languages which was great The rooms were clean, tidy and soundproof. Housekeeping available when needed. Great location to many restaurants and the promenade.
