Butterfly Studios

Came to stay only for 4 nights for a short break. The hotel is perfectly fine for a short stay that won't break the bank. The interior is clean and cool, and the rooms are the same. Each room is self-catered and has very basic cooking facilities, so if you are genuinely looking for self-catered accommodation, this is unlikely to satisfy your requirements. The bathroom is basic, essentially a wetroom with a shower in the corner and a shower curtain across the corner - the floor gets very wet very quickly. Comfortable beds, desk, chair and hairdryer, all the essentials are fine. I believe all rooms have a balcony which is nice to sit out on an evening. Electricals. All the circuits are controlled by your key which you put into a slot by the door to turn on the sockets/AC etc. This means that you can't leave the AC on to cool the room whilst out during the day, but I guess it saves energy! Close the curtains to keep cool. Our room had no sockets near the bed which is an issue for millennial travellers but realistically, you can manage. TV was up to date and we could even log into Netflic if we wanted to. There is a decent size fridge for drinks etc. Pool. Clean and a decent size, it was great to have. Barely anybody there when we stayed, so no problem getting a sun lounger. The one thing to note is that although it advertises a 'snack bar', there isn't one. There is a fridge by reception where you can buy drinks for reasonably cheap (2 euro pop, 1 euro water, 4 euro beer), but there is nowhere to get a snack. There is a sign by the pool to say not to eat your own food, but we did and didn't seem to be an issue. Location. 3-5 minutes to the beach, 10 minutes to faliraki centre - perfect. There is also a shop 2 minutes from the front door which will do soft drinks/crisps/some pastries and sandwiches for breakfast should you wish. Overall this hotel is dated and doesn't look the best, but if you are on a budget and with a group of friends/couple/solo I would reccomend - there isn't a lot to realy complain about if you aren't too fussy. Would not reccomend for families as there is little to do I would imagine.
