Of course, we understood that two stars is only two stars. And we booked this hotel with the idea that we only sleep in it. A comfortable bed and a cup of coffee in the morning - we, in fact, do not need anything else.
The online resume suited us just fine. The hotel is located near the capital, located in the center of the island - it is convenient to travel by car. And most importantly, he asked for a little less money for his work than the rest.
We felt the ambush even in the transfer bus. When the driver in the middle of a dusty, sun-scorched village said: “Whoever goes to Australia, go out. Go straight for 200 meters, then turn right... You will find it, in general. The landscape outside the window hinted that we were in a hole.

One glance at “a cozy family hotel honoring the traditions of Greek hospitality” was enough to understand that there would be no smell of cinnamon in coffee in the morning. And there will be no fresh sheets, crisp from cleanliness, either. Of course, we only sleep here, but we suddenly realized that we care about where to wake up.
the windows of the room that we were offered rested on the neighboring house, which is why it looked gloomy and dreary...
we asked for another room. we were offered a single room, but with a double bed. To be honest, we never understood what the difference was between a single and a double, except that the equipped single number was even worse. On the other hand, the less old and dusty furniture in the room, the less laundering. And the windows of the room faced the sun.
As it turned out later, the windows also overlooked the road, the screams of the neighboring family and the howling dog of the Baskervilles in the morning.
For one room it was somehow too much, so when a couple of days later the room opposite was vacated, we approached the owners with a proposal to change the room.
The mother of the owner had a tantrum. She shouted that we change rooms every day (! ) and they never had such fastidious guests. The speech was heartfelt, wordy, reinforced by the refrain: “If you don’t like, change hotel! ”.
We offered to refund our money. But it turned out that the travel agency would give them money for our accommodation only after two months. This largely explained the attitude towards the guests and the disgusting breakfast in the morning.
on the first evening, we were forbidden to sit with “our” by the pool, because beer can be bought at the hotel bar for only four times the price. Why is this pool there? The water in it is not chlorinated, which is certainly pleasant, but not hygienic.
If we add that for each additional sneeze we were charged (air conditioning, for example, cost two euros a day), I can’t say anything more good about the Hotel Australia.
