Agios Gordios

The view from the balconies of this hotel really are the best thing, overlooking the Ag. Gordios beach and wonderful sunsets. This is basic accomodation, no frills, but perfect as a base to stay; a short 5 min stroll to local restaurants and the beach. A few reviews have commented on having utensils in their room, we didn't on our stay, which would have been useful for evenings when you want to eat a basic snack in, rather than going out. With the location, this hotel could be absolutely perfect if a couple of updates were made, such as not charging for the use of Aircon.

The beds are very hard, which is to some people's liking, but if you prefer softer.. you might not find it the most comfortable sleep. Mosquitos are plentiful in the evenings, so 100% recommend bringing some decent repellent!

The pool available to use at the adjacent hotel is great, spacious, plenty of sunbeds and friendly bar staff with reasonable priced snacks and drinks!

Overall we very much enjoyed our visit to Agios Gordios and found the hotel a good base to explore from.

Thanks!

Budget hotel, fantastic location!

We visited in September and had a great time here. Yes, there isn't a reception open all the time but one phonecall from the pool bar of the Lido Sofia was enough to sort any problems.  We knew we were arriving late and so contacted them and they arranged for someone to meet us to sort the room. Excellent breakfast and facilities from the pool bar. Definitely worth a visit.

Great reasonable apartments 

Lovely, basic hotel that was quiet and clean. My room was spacious with a massive bed. Adequate kitchen utensils, but I only used the kettle - which was a little temperamental. There was a decent sized fridge which was very useful. The safe was small. It would hold a passport and money, but not a camera or iPad. I felt the place was perfectly safe. As a solo visitor, that was a real plus. The mosquitoes were a bit of a pain, so don't forget the repellent. Breakfast was basic and not really to my liking. Having said that, the yoghurt served with honey was delicious.
The pool next door was perfect in my opinion. Never close to being crowded and a good mix of people. The music was a typical Euro-pop mix which I grew to love. The staff were friendly without being overbearing. The food was generous in size, really fresh and tasty and a very reasonable price. 
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the hotel and surrounding area and would recommend it to solo travellers who want to relax in a quiet, safe, friendly environment.

Everything I wanted!

Pros: good views, amazing pool, convenient location in easy walking distance of town and beach, nice balcony, mosquito repellent plug provided, good value for money.

Cons: confusing signage- trades as Golden Nests online, but has been renamed Skyfall, which makes it and really hard to find! Not a very welcoming reception. Having to pay €5 extra per day for aircon seems a little mean. Also annoying not to be told about this at check in, so spent ages searching for a non existent remote control.

Pretty good

We book online under the name Golden Nest but now is called Skyfall, first problem when you come with the navigator.
Is true, no receptionist waiting for you but with a call they come immediately.
Decent room with top view of the bay.
Limited breakfast served only from 8 to 9.30am.
Peaceful area at 3min walking distance to the beach (a little walk up to reach the room).
The most disappointing is that on Sunday the housekeeping don't clean the rooms at all. Our towels stay the same for 4days. 
In 2017 you cannot survive only with a great view, comfort, attentions and pampering are the key to success.

Stay far from this "resort"

I was on vacation in September. Everything was great. Daily cleaning, refrigerator, mini kitchen, just an unforgettable view from the window. One pleasure to go out on the balcony with a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It's located near the sea, you can swim by the pool.

Excellent price to quality ratio

We spent a week in an apartment in the Golden Nest. The room was not clean at all, there were chores and dust everywhere. The room didn't match the photos on their site (amazing...), we were just in front of the parking lot and in the middle of the driveway, the insulation was poor so it was very noisy. The 6-euro breakfast was absolutely not worth it (no choice of food...). And most of all the big scam on the security deposit, where the girl who had to return it to us the last day (with an hour agreed upon in the contract we signed) never showed up. So this is a place to avoid if you don't want to get cheated because you're tourists.

What to Avoid

Arriving at the hotel on 19/08, no one to welcome us at the reception a sign with a phone number to call, after the phone call is presented the Miss Giulia who after the welcome informs us that they accept payments only in cash, when on our booking there is expressly written that the payment can be made with credit card. At the same time we arrive in an e-mail from booking in which it is said that our booking has been cancelled because the card is not valid, to note that our contract provided for the payment of the entire sum for cancellation. After requesting explanations laorina makes us talk to the manager Mr. Alex who explains that due to problems related to the Control of the Capitals in Greece they can not accept payment with the right credit card.

Transparency first of all

After traveling for 3 weeks in Greece, I can say that this was the worst of the 12 hotels I stayed at. The facilities are old, just like in other hotels I've stayed in. What makes it really unattractive is the deal I received. First of all, the hotel contacted me to confirm the arrival time. To which I replied that I would arrive late, about 11:00 p.m. The day I arrived, I received a cancellation email from my booking at about 6:00 p.m. and they had tried to last to fill the room without arriving because they were not sure that it would arrive in time. First of all, the hotel contacted me to confirm the time of arrival. When I booked the hotel, I was told that they had blocked the money from the room and the old one was locked, and on the day of my arrival I was told that I had consumed the car, and that the prices of the hotel were already high, but I think that the hotel is in the air, but it also has a very nice way of getting to the hotel.

The only good thing is the view.

I stayed with my friends for about a week, they made us sign a contract with the word air conditioning for 5 euros a day, when it says on the website that it is included, poor Wi-Fi and rooms for 3 people very narrow, small bathroom.
