Filia Hotel Apartments

We have recently returned from an 11 night stay at the Filia. Wonderful welcome and a drink on arrival with owner Michael who was the perfect host in showing us the hotel, our room and providing tips for travel and trips. Our room was in the older block but was comfortable and had a balcony with a side seaview. Although the bathroom was small and in need of upgrading, it suited us fine. The shower was good and hot so no issues. Breakfast was fine and evening meals, when we ate in, were well cooked and enjoyable. The restaurant itself, like the pools and poolsides and indeed the hotel generally were spotlessly clean. With a couple of exceptions the hotel staff were generally cheerful and helpful. They do work so hard and it is appreciated. The bar too was fine with very reasonable prices. Billy the barman is a very gregarious and cheerful soul and keeps the guests amused. The only negative in truth, was the music at the bar which was played loud and proud until 2 or 3am! Some pop, a lot of rave, techno and house music. It could have been Malia! Not easy sleeping through that especially with a window open for some relief from the warm nights! My impression was that many other guests were similarly sleepless in the night. Turn it down a bit Billy! Overall, however, the hotel benefits from lovely staff, pleasant rooms at a reasonable cost, good food and well maintained pools. It’s very well situated for the main town too, just a few minutes walk. away. Many thanks Michael, we thoroughly enjoyed Stalis.
