Reviews for Alex Hotel

Review 1:Wifi only in the reception/lobby area. The steepness of the walkway up to the hotel. (Pain with heavy suitcases) A little out-dated in the decor etc. but it is more of a mom-pop run place.

Review 2:The pool was great. Friendly staff. Great food in the hotel restaurant. You are only one bus stop away from Mykonos' Old Port, which is beautiful and fun! You can meet Alex himself haha!

Review 3:The owner always yelling at staff it made us feel uncomfortable even hada go at my daughter as she wanted hotter water for her tea. Owner a rude old man and needs to leave staff to do their job. Change of bfast options

Review 4:The staff were very friendly and helpful the people from the catering dept they do a top job under the conditions they are under

Review 5:Wifi only in reception. Cleaners didn't come until 1700. Breakfast average. Poor water pressure in shower. Staff weren't helpful. Enquired about pick up from port, which they don't provide. When they replied to my inquiry they didn't offer directions. Followed directions on booking.com which were completely wrong and ended up walking 700 metres up an almost vertical hill in the heat.

Review 6:Comfortable bed. Clean spacious bathroom, nice balcony in room with gorgeous view. Spacious rooms. Lady in the restaurant is lovely. Good location, 15 mins easy walk to town. 10 mins to port. Nice restaurants nearby. Very clean pool with sun lounges and great views. Restaurant has nice view.

Review 7:Breakfast awfull. TV mostly in Greek. And WiFi doesn't work upstairs.

Review 8:The pool is the best, with awesome view of the new Port. The location is between new and old port. You have all the basic things you need.

Review 9:Wifi: There was no free wifi unless you were standing at reception. Cleanliness: Our room had broken glass and black hair all over the floor. When we told them the owners argued infront of us, we had to show the cleaner and owner the room and explain why we weren't happy to both of them seperately even as they stood together. They then argued over what new room we should Get. Facilities: When we got to our new room the TV wouldn't work and took three phone calls over a day and a half to get someone to come to the room. The curtains fell off the rail and we had to put these back on ourselves. The staff: the owners were rude and would show an effort each time something was asked, the younger owner was unwilling to help and was very impatient as well as didn't have very good personal hygiene- wore the same outfit three days a row and was with a displeasing odour. They showed no local information and were reluctant to provide any insights to Mykonos other than giving us a map after we asked for it personally. The cleaning staff were friendly. Overall the facilities were outdated and would not recommend to other travelers.

Review 10:We arrived very early in the morning (6am) and were completely unannounced as we could not contact prior to arrival. On arrival they did absolutely everything they could to get us into a room to have some sleep. 1 hour later our room was ready, absolutely spotless and they didn't even charge us extra for early check in! Such friendly helpful staff. I would definitely stay here again!

Review 11:No refrigerators in the rooms and the wifi only works (sometimes) by the front desk. Breakfast is not good.

Review 12:Great price and not too far from town. Rooms have cute balconies.

Review 13:Alex Hotel in Mykonos has been the worst hotel and hospitality experience I've ever had in my life. Did not have hot water, the water from the shower was yellow. First night they gave me a room which had a window on a landing, where there were cats all around, trying to get into my room and didn't have the privacy, since people was passing in front of it. Air conditioning wasn't working properly. Breakfast was awful. The worst thing was the owner which, when I personally complained about all these issues, didn't wanna listen, covered her hears and accused me to be moanful just because I'm young, even though is part of an hospitality business listening and solving complaints of people, moreover if they can improve the service. I was completely shocked from her rudeness and I had to give up on every single problem and to adapt to this unacceptable situation although as a client I paid 100% of the price expecting to receive 100% of the service.

Review 14:Just the view from the second room I got after I complaint.

Review 15:The staff were unhelpful, were unwilling to give basic information (taxi, cost, buses,...), unwelcoming, sarcastic when complained...

Review 16:The room was quite spacious and clean and had air-conditioner pity the generators outside our window/balcony were noisy!

Review 17:Long steep drive off a busy and dangerous road and two flights of steep stairs to get to the hotel door which made it very difficult with luggage also overpriced

Review 18:The waitress was very polite and always smiling and very helpful

Review 19:For the price I expected more professionalism. They staff smoked at the reception desk whilst helping customers, had limited knowledge about the local transport. The breakfast was extremely budget and disappointing. yoghurt and fruit was not even an option.

Review 20:The hotel is located on top of a scale which is very inconvenient The staff (except for a young girl who I think the daughter of the owner and the waiter at breakfast who were nice) was disturbing rude In the morning at 8, we have seen a very strong fight by shouting between the owners and the young girl who we assume was her daughter that she even cried all before the eyes of our customers. The hotel would have potential but it's terribly managed and very expensive, poor breakfast.

Review 21:view from the rooms spectacular pool

Review 22:very rude staff ,,, smelly hotel ,, the girl on the reception told us to get from the new port to hotel walking 10 min. We had a baby and bags the road from the port to the hotel was scary with no pavement and we walk at least 30 min. we find at last the hotel up to a mountain and when we go there there was no elevator from downstairs and we had to carry the bags and the baby all throught the stairs... the pool was nice ..very nice view....

Review 23:This is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff are so incredibly rude, always yelling at each other. They take no responsibility for anything wrong. Poor management, and my first night they made me stay at another place as they had overbooked. It was a dump they sent me too. During the night the power went from my room (not a city blackout) and they blamed that it was my cord that the reason my phone didn't charge, not their power. Because my phone didn't charge my alarm didn't go off and missed a transfer. The lady at the front desk constantly smokes and it is disgusting. Cats roam the property freely. Do not under any circumstances stay at this hotel. It is simply horrible and will ruin your holiday.

Review 24:Leaving the hotel.

Review 25:Pool needed cleaning, room was dark and the blankets in the wardrobe smelled very bad!!! No bin in bedroom either!

Review 26:Pool was lovely with great view, lovely patio and aircon worked well

Review 27:The old lady owner was very nasty, she was rude and screaming at everybody The wifi didnt work Poor breakfast selection Wasn't worth the money

Review 28:The Bangladeshi chef, very kind and helpful

Review 29:very unfriendly receptionists, wi-fi only available in the reception area, confusing architecture-it is very difficult to find your room, very poor restaurant, it is very dangerous to get from the hotel to the old town-there is no pavement on a very busy road

Review 30:a large room, close to the new port, free A/C

Review 31:There was no fridge in the room

Review 32:It was a massive hotel and very clean. ..the rooms were a good size and the pool was very clean with a spectacular view.I would definitely stay here again

Review 33:Very minimal breakfast. White bread. Croissants. Jam. One cereal. Boiled eggs. Tea and coffee. That's it. Staff not very competent. Proprietors not friendly or helpful at all. Thin walls. Wifi only in reception area. Shower didn't work. Quite dated.

Review 34:Nice big rooms with view. Free parking and location great for all parts of the island. Cayenne next door is great restaurant and bar. Rooms very clean and enough towels.

Review 35:Very rude staff, outdated rooms that smelt of smoke. Restaurant was a very poor offering with slow service. Awful experience probably worst hotel have ever stayed in. No way is this 4 star as advertised, it is barely 2 star.

Review 36:The staff are horrible the late night staff threatend to call the police on us for a mistake and are liars

Review 37:The bathroom and facilities and pool are amazing

Review 38:The owner of the hotel was super rude!there was a problem with the booking of the rooms and she started saying some bad things for Greeks that offended us. At the last day some friends of us that they came with us from Brazil lost their key and again she was rude with them although they paid the necessary price.

Review 39:Good location

Review 40:Old receptionist is not very nice, not much English spoken, homophobic, didn't want 2 guys in a double bed, couldn't bring people to the room. Wifi only in reception area which is 2 floors down. Car or scooter needed to Get to hotel. A bit pricy for the service provided. No mini bar or fridge so no cold drinks

Review 41:Restaurant staff were excellent, helpful and very nice. food was nice and economical. Swimming nice and quiet. Good views.

Review 42:Room not made up when I arrived at 6pm. No transfer to airport available. Waited over 30 mins for reception to sort out a taxi

Review 43:Fantastic view of the port from room

Review 44:The buses never stopped in front (where there was supposed to be a bus stop) The pool was full of insects and pidgeons

Review 45:Nice place, nice room, nice installations :)

Review 46:This was our second year of stay , based on price and airport transfer which had now stopped due to the owners health, however we would not have booked if no transfer as it is miles from the airport and a dangerous walk at cliff edge into town. Bookings.com must not do this to people as the hotel owners have said they have told you there are no more transfers. Please sort S this cost us twice! Taxi from port pick up and taxis to airport , so very misleading to offer at the price !

Review 47:Pool, family room divided to quadrouple , view

Review 48:Dirty, low water pressure in the shower,not a minibar at the room, Not a wifi in the room and the one in the lobby is low Very por breakfast without vegetable and cheese The staf is antipathic Very expensive for what you get

Review 49:Nothing

Review 50:- Awful and absolutely rude owners and crew - Bathroom very old and rusty - Dirty room (sheets, floor, ...) - Pool closed between 20:00 et 8:00 - Horrible view on the road and air conditionning systems (noisy) - No communication was possible with the staff to change the room - Breakfast : poor choice (not even a fruit), bread and viennoiseries weren't fresh, no water unless you pay for it - Wrong localisation on the map - No help for transfer ==> Avoid, please don't go there.

Review 51:Very uncomfortable, noisy bed! The owner was very antipathic and nervous, shouting everybody around her, including guests. No port/ aiport transfers!

Review 52:The only stuff from Bengladesh who was very kind and helpful!

Review 53:small and uncomfortable beds. Although we had a reservation for 4 persons (one quadruple room), they gave us a triple room with a camp bed they put afterwards inside. Potential lost of the ancient tv controller would cost 100EU for the client as a sign next to the front desk was declaring. The washstand in the bathroom was clogged. Plus the pool was never available for the guests.

Review 54:relatively affordable and economic comparing to other places nearby, very close to town (3 min by car)

Review 55:Not very welcoming staff other than the couple who run the restaurant who were very nice. The hotel needs a remodel. A little outdated.

Review 56:Nice small pool area and nice sea view. Clean bedding and towels every day.

Review 57:No fridges in rooms ! Couldn't believe it in such a hot place . Breakfast menu very very limited. Management need to get in this century . Lovely hotel but management from last century. Could be so nice if owner/manager stepped aside and let younger ppl run the place.

Review 58:Pool area but needs few more loungers and shades. View , and buildings lovely what I expected. Staff are lovely but front office management came out of dark ages. Abusive to guest .

Review 59:We don't like the old ladies of receptionist becouse is racism.She is scolding chinese is PIG, and ask we get out.very unpolike.

Review 60:The food is fine and only the chef is kind.

Review 61:Unfriendly staff, pipe in pool exploded and filled it with mud on second day. Considering the pool was the only reason we picked the hotel, nothing was said to us about it other than looking at it. No cleaning or fixing was done for remainder of the stay. Wifi was very poor and staff would yell at each other in the restaurants in front of the guests. Quite a bit out of town with no taxis on the island walking on windy roads with no paths was a little daunting.

Review 62:Was very quiet, nice room and pool

Review 63:The price. ( but you really have to take into account this is Mykonos and as such, Alex really is budget accomodation)

Review 64:Located between main town and ferry port, good location for island hoppers. Dispite poor reviews we found the rooms and service to be the standard (if not better) we would expect for lower budget travelling. The pool and views were a bonus, and the breakfast was more than expected. No issues with rudeness as reported elsewere, yes a pleasant surprise.

Review 65:no pick up from port. VERY difficult to get transport from port to hotel. Had to walk into town and after unsuccessful queue for Taxi, had to walk back to port to catch local bus. 15 minutes walk either way to restaurants, along busy road in the dark. Breakfast was pretty basic, cheap food supplied.

Review 66:swimming pool on the roof was great to entertain kids for last morning, while we packed. We had used this hotel purely as a stopover for last night of our holiday after 14 nights around smaller islands. ensure you order taxi from reception, came in 2 minutes.

Review 67:Most of the staff were quite rude, it's in a terrible location, the beds were hard and you could feel the springs and the pillows were shocking. Would definitely not recommend. Worth paying similar amount to stay closer to the town or a beach.

Review 68:Rooms were cleaned every day with fresh towels etc.

Review 69:The resepsionist lady was totally useless. Hotel has not been presented properly.Just room showed me. Wifi is only available at reseption area !! very poor.

Review 70:only the night shift employee was good.

Review 71:Otel workers ıs not kind.when you ask something they could not answer and when they say something it can be probably wrong information.ıts a big fault of otel that rooms have not refrigrator!!!

Review 72:Pool,scene

Review 73:Breakfast was repetitive. Fridge in room would be useful for bottled water & other drinks to keep them cool & fruit & yoghurt to add to the poor breakfast. Coffee & tea making facilities could be provided in rooms.

Review 74:Hotel was very clean & comfortable. Good location for Mykonos town

Review 75:The location was very isolated. Basic furniture and rooms and hotel not like what we were expecting as far as pictures and descriptions. I don't know how it's a 4 star rating. We were only there one night which was a relief. Had to plead for a pick up and drop to the airport. There was meant to me transfers to airport etc but the only driver was elderly owner and we basically had to get a taxi. The wife got very agitated and started shouting when the staff member asked about needing to drop to airport as there was also another guest wanting to do so. Overall not a good experience.

Review 76:The price I paid was too high for that kind of room.

Review 77:The swimming pool. Position is good if you must take a boat from the new port of Mykonos. It's also near to the center of Mykonos Town (15-20 minutes walking).

Review 78:in summary: there is nothing about this hotel that will delight you; the rooms are dated, the facilities are feeble, the staff are rubbish and the breakfast is terrible, you'll struggle to find the hotel and then when you do you'll wish you hadn't; when you want to leave, you won't be able - unless you can hike or take your life into your hands flagging down strangers. *rooms are tired and uncomfortable - double room was just two single beds pushed together *wifi didn't work in rooms at all *breakfast was appalling - the best thing that could be said was that there was a choice of teabags, everything else was very poor - a bowl of hard boiled eggs, some stale cake, and a some bread+toaster and that's your lot *promised transfers to the airport did not happen, and the hotel were totally unable to order a taxi, in the end we stood on the main road and flagged down a stranger and persuaded him to take us to the airport of 15 euros *the shower was pointless, if you trained a seagull to fly down to the beach and scoop a beak full of water and empty it over your head instead- you would have got much wetter *staff were odd - the owner told me off for pressing the buttons in the lift -there are warning signs up with fines for loosing remote controls etc - not what you would expect for a hotel at this price. *the location is not as shown in the map- don't be fooled into thinking that you will be a gentle walk from the ferry port after a long day travelling, it's half a kilometre along the main road with no pavement, then a couple of hundred metres up a steep road, and then when you arrive you'll be very dissapointed

Review 79:air conditioning in the room worked well

Review 80:The greek reception ladies, very unhelpful the old lady hung up when I called to book a transfer to the airport! She also told me the driver is an old man he wont get up to drop me off early. I think she was grumpy and always yelling most times I saw her.

Review 81:View and pool

Review 82:Breakfast was awful, with only cornflakes as the cereal option, no choice & no fresh juices. Only good point was they had Lurpack butter.

Review 83:Two bedroom room was fine & clean

Review 84:Despite the website saying Wifi is available in the rooms, it was not. We could get wifi in the reception/bar area and sometimes in the dining room. The beds were a little hard and the shower didn't seem to have much power but the rooms and bathroom were very clean.

Review 85:I had read reviews which were not so encouraging so I went with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the whole hotel was very clean. We contacted the hotel prior to our arrival and they picked us up from the airport and drove us back again when we flew out. As a family of 4, we reserved the quad room which ended up having two bedrooms with a balcony sea view. The pool was lovely with a fabulous view. It was only about a 15 minute walk to Mykonos old town so we only rented a car for one day to go to Paradise beach and drive around, although there is a local bus which is stops near the hotel too.

Review 86:Staff was the worst, breakfast was very average pool shut during the sunset got asked to leave area at 7.45pm

Review 87:The pool

Review 88:Too far out - nothing like a four star hotel :(

Review 89:WiFi was only in the hall, not in my room

Review 90:Good enough for the price

Review 91:The staff were terrible, our door didn't lock u could just push it open...

Review 92:Not many options at breakfast

Review 93:Great location

Review 94:Overpriced for what you get - food awful

Review 95:Great view from room, pool good

Review 96:The reception has an intense smell of cigarette smoke.

Review 97:The Hotel is near the port and from several rent-a-car companies.

Review 98:we got a room so noisy that we can't sleep. the staff wouldn't do anything to help us

Review 99:No wifi in rooms only in reception

Review 100:Great pool with stunning view. Great room, friendly helpful staff.

Review 101:No wifi

Review 102:Location was excellent

Review 103:Cannot get wifi in room The attitude of staff swimming pool not clean

Review 104:Lots of cats Have lift

Review 105:Extremely rude staff. Especially yhte old lady who seems to be the owner. Just avoid the place. They do not deserve your money!

Review 106:Nothing really.

Review 107:no pick up service. very difficult to get to the hotel from the port. unfrendly staff. one of the worst breakfast we ever had.

Review 108:nothing.

Review 109:steep incline from main road to hotel,& no hand rail up the steps to reception.

Review 110:all was good.

Review 111:The owners work there. They really do not know anything about service. Worst service ever.

Review 112:The view and the pool

Review 113:oldwomen oldman

Review 114:swiming pool breakfast and it's staff

Review 115:The room wasn't clean and the breakfast of poor quality.

Review 116:Part of the staff helpful and kind.

Review 117:Didn't like the owners

Review 118:Employees are really great

Review 119:Wifi only at reception and upgrade tv would be nice

Review 120:Staff were very friendly and rooms were very clean

Review 121:The elderly owners are quite rude but I don't believe that this is personal but just they way that they are. I quite enjoyed being overly polite and extra chirpy, just to see if I could get a smile. The hotel is very basic but that's what we wanted, just somewhere as a base to move around the island daily.

Review 122:The staff were extremely helpful and friendly even though they spoken hardly any English and were from a number of different countries. The location is almost on the main coast road for ease of transport and the bus stop is 20 metres away. The rooms are spacious but basic and the pool is lovely. I would definitely stay there again.

Review 123:Staff was top! Especially the staff from Africa and India! A big thanks you especially to Jessica and Sandra! Very friendly! Pure family! Feel-good effect! The pool was never crowded. Great view! Sea view! Spa feeling! And last but not least the baby cat Alexandra!!!! :-))) All the best, the German couple :-) Personal war Top! Gerade das Personal aus Afrika und Indien!!! Ein großes Dankeschön speziell an Jessica und Sandra! Sehr freundlich! Familiär pur! Wohlfühleffekt! Der Pool, der nie überfüllt war. Super Aussicht! Meerblick! Wellnessfeeling! Und nicht zu vergessen das Baby-Kätzchen Alexandra!!! :-)))) Ganz liebe Grüße, das deutsche Pärchen :-)

Review 124:A bit expensive, we had similar in santorini for 70 euros less pernight, a fair price would have been 100 for the accommodation. Breakfastwas a mess and poor quality compared to santorini

Review 125:Views, pool, Transfer to airport

Review 126:The place is great! The staff members also, the hotel is very clean, nice pool, a good breakfast, it´s close to a bus stop, near to the Mykonos center.

Review 127:Very nice clean hotel, good relaxed location. Comfortable beds, good size bathroom. Restaurant offered fresh delicious meals very good selection at reasonable prices. Thank you to Maria and Said for the lovely meals and thank you to Vasilia at reception for her help about everything you need to know and best places to go on Mykonos. Thank you to Tassos and Eleni the owners of this very good hotel. We were able to park on site and was only 5 minute drive to busy Mykonos centre. Would definitely stay here again when in Mykonos. Great view of cruise liners and aegean sea every morning. Tassos picked us up from airport and also took us to nearby ferry port for ongoing island destinations. Very friendly staff.

Review 128:The hotel served a buffet breakfast, which was good, but the breakfast itself was average. We wish there were more authentic simple Greek foods like yoghurt, figs, and fresh bread, instead of the 'normal' continental breakfast that you usually get in any place in the world.

Review 129:The first thing we loved was the view from the bedrooms. What else would you want but a beautiful view of the blue ocean? Second was the swimming pool and unfortunately, it made it very difficult for us to take the kids out of it! The owners and all the staff were also very nice and friendly. They even tried very hard to help us when one of our bags didn't make it to Mykonos (apparently Aegean Airlines left it in Rome -- and at the end, it never arrived until we left Mykonos!). The location was also good - far enough from the centre of Mykonos (the Hora) but close enough to walk to it when we want to be there. A little swimmable beach was also just a hundred meters away.

Review 130:Although it's advertised to provide wi-fi everywhere, in reality it was available only at the reception area. The tv was damaged and it was replaced only after 24 hrs. from the moment we informed the reception. The breakfast is the absolutely basic. We only had it once, didn't bother to repeat it. Most importantly, we were surprised to find out that there was no mini fridge in the room (something that is widely available nowadays, in any hotel of a similar price), so no chance to keep cool water or any refreshments in the room ...

Review 131:Excellent view, balcony overlooking the aegean sea. As we travelled by our car, the hotel was well located and easily approached. Friendly staff, clean room.

Review 132:Breakfast, the 2 old owners, need to be at the reception hall to get the internet connection

Review 133:The pool, the view

Review 134:Everything
