Kontonis Studios and Apartments Reviews

The location of the apartments we stayed in couldnt have been better, 5 minute storll away from the beach and main strip although not too close to be kept up by the noise if you have an excursion early next morning! The apartment itself was very basic, we had a ground floor with terraced. small bathroom, no curtain around shower so everything gets soaked! very basic kitchen, however its what you should really expect in the price! Staff very friendly. We rented a quad bike for 8 days out of 14 and each morning Nikos would tell us new places to go

The Kontonis Apartments are located within 10 minutes walk of the famous strip making it ideal for young couples of groups wanting to be close to the nightlife. There is also a beach within easy walking distance however we preferred to rent a quad bike for the 2 weeks of our stay, travelling around the island during the day enjoying some amazing beaches and villages. There are also a number of excursions available from numerous companies lined up on the strip. We enjoyed a safari and two boat trips as well as a coach trip for the day to neighbouring island kefilonia. The apartment itself is very basis consisting of bedroom/living space, kitchen area with small hob and sink and bathroom. Each room has a balcony although we ended up with a ground floor room! The service could have been better in terms of how ofter new sheets and towels were given! However the accommodation and adjoiing shop is family run and they are all extremely friendly. One night a week they have a lamb spit night with salad and pasta and all guests in each apartment are invited. There is no air conditioning which made it a nightmare for us during August! We resorted to sleeping with the doors open and shutters across however this only resulted in hundred of mosquitos in our room each night! Overall for the price we paid the accommodation served it's purpose and we would definitely return!

well first disappointment was getting there on the monday morning and our room wasn't ready after being up many hours and we just wanted to get to our room and it was meant to be our first night (the sunday) even though our flight out wasn't till 12.45am on a monday and our room was meant to be ready from 12 mid day sunday. when we got into a room which was meant to be getting cleaned while we waited half a hour for it, the sheets had only been changed and washing up was still in the sink, and it looked liked it hadn't been cleaned for a week.my husband went out to get some cleaning stuff and i cleaned it myself..(prob the best clean it's had for years) we went 3 days without toilet rolls and everytime we asked.tomorrow tomorrow, i had to steal it from places just so we had some, in the end my husband got so p off he went down to danny and said we want a toilet roll and he said we're got none, your have to go to the shop and pay a euro for one, my husband went mad, and he did get one in the end. our doors to the baloney (room 117) had a pain of glass missing right where the lock was and when the cleaner did come in (which it was only cleaned twice in a week and from the wednesday to a sunday wasn't cleaned at all) kept leaving the shutters open so anyone coulod just get in by putting their hand through. we never had our sheets changed once in a week. you could only shower between 5 and 9 at night cos he wouldn't let us have hot water, the drinks are all watered down, and they hide from you when making cocktails so you can't see what they ARE NOT putting in. one night we couldn't shower for ages as he couldn't be bothered to get the petrol to boil up the water. well.i don't know where this wonderful bbq is cos it was rubbish..over and done with in a hour, one plate of food then it was taken away, mind you all his friends came over and finished it all off what we all paid 10 euro for.oh and 1 shot each, even though it said lots and lots of shots. there's no air con at this hotel. we and another couple hired quads and when they were parked up, the next morning we were both on empty even though we both had half a tank in them each.....(we think tacky (yes i said tacky) drained them both) be warned if you have young children or are very light sleepers do not stay here, between them and a sunset hotel next door the music gets louder and louder at night when you try and sleep, and it goes on till 2ish in the morning. we had to be out sunday at 12 (our flight was the next day at 7.25) and he wanted 10 euro each what a con as we didn't have a room ready on the monday when we got there....instead we hired a car for the day with the money and we kipped in it till we went to the airport, and i must say it was the best sleep we had all week. this hotel was just out for the money remember there is no pool at this hotel. never would i stay here again.
