Valinakis Hotel

My boyfriend and I booked our first holiday away together to valinakis hotel in kardamena. The reception area of the hotel is very dated and doesn’t look very clean at all, it is in desperate need of renovation!
We arrived at the hotel late and saw a sign on the lift saying it was out of order so we went to take the stairs when the receptionist said the sign was only on there to save electricity and that we could use it so we got inside a pitch black lift and got up to our room ok amazingly!
After getting into the room I cried because it was not what I was expecting at all, the carpet was stained, the wooden table had writing all over it and it was very basic! There was a hole in the bathroom wall which was just a black open space and I don’t know where it led to but mosquitoes were finding their way in through it.
There was no air conditioning which I was aware of before booking but it was boiling hot at night and I would defiantly recommend taking an electric fan with you. The hotel mainly accommodated teenagers which were quite noisy coming in during early hours.
I am young myself but if your not there for a clubbing holiday it gets quite frustrating. On a positive note the breakfast was nice, and the staff are friendly. All in all I think this hotel is better suited to youngsters on a party holiday rather than a couple or family. I loved kos and everything else about my holiday but I for one will definitely not be recommending this hotel to anyone.
