Papantonia Hotel Apartments

We arrived after 11pm to be welcomed by Thomas, a lovely bloke with a dry sense of humor. After checking in, he told us we could leave our cases and go get a drink at the bar before it closed, which we did. The room was quite basic but clean and had a comfortable sofa, chair and beds. The cleaners came in to empty the bins and tidy the beds every day and we normally had a lovely lady with red hair who spoke little English but smiled all the time. The hotel manager, Michael, introduced himself to us at breakfast and made a point of speaking to us whenever he saw us. He does this with everyone and is a very hands on manager, keeping an eye on things and making sure that everyone is happy. Nothing was too much trouble for him, we told him we were vegetarians and he made a point of telling us what to look out for each day on the buffet and even bringing special dishes to our table. Lovely man. The food was fresh and well cooked (though we occasionally got the odd dry bread roll) and the little cakes were delicious. Fresh fruit was very nice but no real fresh fruit juices. I really liked the pool, it's a good size to swim lengths (missing that already) The bar and restaurant staff were all very friendly and there was an overall relaxing feel to the place. The hotel is nicely situated away from the busy centre but within a comfortable 5- 8 minute walk to bars, restaurants and shops. There is a supermarket 2 minutes away. You may find the odd chipped tile but for a 3* hotel it's clean, comfortable and very welcoming.
