When I was about to go there, I found a review in which it was written that this is a suitable hotel for those who only sleep in the room. Now I can add that it is better to fall asleep before entering the room, and in the room you no longer open your eyes, but it is even better to plug your nose. Not only are the rooms shabby, but they also have big problems with cleaning. The tile in the bathroom (microscopic, by the way), apparently no one washes at all, there are traces of the vital activity of the previous inhabitants on it, very similar to dried snot. At the junction of the rod from the curtain in the shower and the wall - a cluster of someone's hair. If you enter the room immediately after the cleaner comes out, you can clearly smell a rotten floor cloth. The room (we lived in a room with a kitchen on the ground floor) was inhabited by garden ants and cockroaches (in fairness, we saw only one cockroach, dead (apparently, the ants had bitten it), but a large one). Linen is measured every three days, and, apparently, linen is taken from the next room for a change - on the first day I arrived at the hotel, I washed my hair and wrapped myself in a hotel towel - I had to wash my head right away, because the towel stank of tobacco. The air conditioning in the room is cleverly designed, and works only when there is someone in the room (the key is inserted into a special cell) and the door to the courtyard / balcony is closed - i. e. from a walk you will always find yourself in a stuffy hot room. The bathroom has a "warm" floor - hot pipes run under the floor, the tiles are so hot that sometimes it is impossible to step on them with bare feet. At night, you have to carefully close all the doors so that the heat from the bathroom does not go into the room (we could not turn on the air conditioner at night, because it is located directly above the extra bed on which the child slept, and it was scary to move the falling furniture). Breakfasts do not differ in variety (yogurt, cold boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried and raw sausage, bread, cheese, jam and honey), but they surprise you with poorly washed dishes - cups with a gray coating from yesterday's tea, poorly washed cutlery and plates with sticky residues food is not uncommon.
In general, I advise you to look elsewhere. There are good and relatively inexpensive hotels in Greece - when we went to Kalambaka, we literally stopped at the first hotel we came across (Famissi Eden Hotel), because we arrived late, we were tired, we didn’t have the strength to look for something. So, this hotel was just a palace compared to Dionysos, although it cost almost 2 times cheaper (EUR 55 for three people with breakfast at Eden vs. EUR 90 for three people + EUR 5 per person for breakfast at Dionysos Hotel). Honestly, we thought that in Eden they would charge us 55 euros per person, the difference with Dionysos was so great.
For those who still decide to settle there and who are traveling with small children - rooms 110 to 120 (which are studios) overlook a lawn surrounded by a green fence. Our child enjoyed playing there. Well, also - in the room there is a shower, a hairdryer, air conditioning, a stove, a refrigerator, two pots, a frying pan and a set of dishes for 3 people. There is no kettle. A safe deposit box for 2 weeks cost us 20 euros. To get the remote control from the TV and air conditioner, you must leave a deposit at the reception (10 euros).
