do not recommend

I do not recommend to rest in the hotel "Simeon". It doesn't even qualify for 2 stars. The hotel was named after himself by the elderly Simeon - its owner, who daily wipes his pants at the hotel reception. Imagine a hotel in Moscow with the name "Semyon". . . Doesn't sound like it, right?
Most of all I was struck by the so-called "buffet". I will list all the dishes for dinner: boiled carrots, corn, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ tomatoes, sliced ​ ​ u200bu200bcucumbers, onions, horns and pork (instead of it there may be fish, meatballs, etc. ). This is all.
Fruits for dinner do not lie freely on the table, each waiter brings a small bowl of fruit, they do not give a second portion.
Above the table there is an inscription "It is forbidden to take food out of the restaurant" in Russian and Ukrainian. And we seem to not know how to behave at the buffet! Outrageous. For some reason, this inscription is not in English and German...

The room is cleaned badly, for 11 days the bed was changed 1 time. Do not wash in the shower. However, there is no bath or shower, just a recess in the floor with a hole, like in Russian public baths. There is no plug in the sink, the TV remote does not work. Ripped chipboard cabinet. . . Broken shelves in the fridge. . .
The room is tiny, not 20 meters at all.
Yes, what can I say, it resembles some low-budget dispensary in the Russian outback. The contingent is only Russians. Yes, they would try to slip such a hotel to a German !! ! The scandal would be enormous!
The first days we handed over our key to the reception. After one day, tired, having arrived from an excursion, they did not give it to us and said: "look in your bag. " It turned out that our key was given to another woman who confused the room number. We were rude, they say, the key must be carried with you. After the trial, the owner of the hotel, Lena, said: "This woman can apologize to you. " In my opinion, this is not the fault of the woman, but the administration.
For God's sake, trying to save money won't get you any rest. Do not repeat other people's mistakes!
And when we told Lena (the hostess of the hotel) that in no other country, anywhere, we had seen such horror, we were told that we, in fact, needed the room only to come to spend the night. So if it were so, I would take a tent and sleeping bags with me to Greece, and we would do without any hotel, since there is a hot shower on the beach, and you can eat tolerably in numerous taverns.
Metamorphossi - maybe the village is not very good, but buses run in different directions. Marmara, Poligiro, Sarti - go and you won't regret it. Greece has beautiful nature!
