Reviews for Mitsis Grand Serai Congress and Spa
Review 1:We found it difficult to communicate with some of the staff ! It seems like this hotel has a very unflexible structure of rules that protects the employees, maybe from dismissal and not the guests from feeling home!
Review 2:We liked the location of the hotel and the comfort of the room
Review 3:Car parking facilities and arrangements.
Review 4:Restaurant chef(s) and serving staff. Attended Christmas Eve gala dinner. The food quality and presentation excelled top London hotels.
Review 5:Although the hotel was supposed to have a gym, it was only open for a couple of hours a day (after breakfast!) and one day didn´t open at all!
Review 6:Very good breakfast, comfortable beds, nice rooms, very convenient location
Review 7:We took the half board option and the dinner was a fix menu, with no options to choose, and mainly was traditional food.
Review 8:Mostly the interior design and the room view
Review 9:For such a price, the internet should be a lot better...consistent and strong. Sadly, sometimes it was slow but it's ok if you are just working with emails i guess.
Review 10:Booking.com has the wrong address and i had some difficulty finding it. Actually, it is much easier. Better call the hotel first.
Review 11:Location, stuff, breakfast, room, touches of luxury, parking (booking.com says it has no parking but it has)
Review 12:Sloooooooooowwwww Wiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiii Not ideal for a business trip, unfortunately.
Review 13:Great staff and customer service. Always cheerful and welcoming. Full buffet breakfast was brilliant.
Review 14:There was a misunderstanding re our type of accommodation the problem was not handled well at all, very bad attitude from the staff I was determined not to let this spoil my stay, also not helpful re extension of check out time due to spa treatments. Except from reception staff all other staff very helpful & friendly.
Review 15:Fantastic choice for breakfast
Review 16:we went in mid-August & the 4th floor rooms were uncomfortably hot, even with the a/c turned on. when we complained, they moved us to the 2nd floor & even upgraded our rooms at no extra charge! great service!
Review 17:friendly staff, breakfast included, nice pool, proximity to lake area/restaurants/shops

Review 34:the room it was very hot with out aircontition
Review 35:clean, good value for money
Review 36:Everything
Review 37:Only the beach which was not property of the hotel
Review 38:Nothing
Review 39:Everything. Cheap luxury.
Review 40:I asked three times for an ashtray - I was waiting for at least an hour until they brought one to my room.
Review 41:Very comfortable and luxurious room, delicious meal and breakfast.
Review 42:-When we arrived there was a problem with our bookings and the attitudeof the staff at the reception was completely non-professional, even rude-No free Wi-Fi available in the room. In the lobby, where free Wi-fi wasavailable, the connection was so bad that you could not log on. Nowdaysthat free internet is available even at coffee shops, it is unacceptableto have to pay 4 euros per hour for internet connection at a five starhotel! -The quality of breakfast was very low. Orange juice wasartificial and the croissants like they were baked three days ago. -Thetoilletries in the bathroom were minimal and not of 5* standard.
Review 43:-Everything was very clean. The beds are very confortable and thebathroom big enough. -The hotel is within walking distance from thecentre of the town and the lake
Review 44:i always ask for a non smoking room only, nice view, high floor and near the elevators. exept the first wish, which for me is a strict condition to check in, all other requests have not been met. we got the -1 floor, we couldnt open the window, far away from the elevators and no view at all.
Review 45:the hotel is located in the main street of Ioannina, short distance to the lake and from the old city. it's a nice and elegant hotel, which could be really be rated as a 5 stars one.
Review 46:The coffee and the orange juice was unacceptable for a 5* hotel. The hotel has spa facilities but you have to pay even for the use of the pool.
Review 47:- The location. -The decoration and the rooms
Review 48:I would insist strongly in fixing on the wall of the bathroom (bathtub) a strong handhold for safety during bathing and for safe entry and exit of it.
Review 49:for a five star hotel the service wasn't satisfying because spa and swimming pool were closed.An employee at the breakfast was very rude and acted unprofessionaly we have noticed the name of the mentioned employee to the reception desk and written a complain about her altough we have not been informed about the aftermath of the complain.
Review 50:Didn't like poor airconditioner in our room.The room was way too hot. Didn't like that we complained straight away and front desk clerk didn't even apologize but instead told us to open the window. Didn't like that when we asked to change us to a cooler room, he made us wait until the following day and that we had to ask him again the following day.Very rude. Didn't like that front desk staff when asked to arrange for extra pillows, they question why we want extra pillows and tell us that there is already a pillow in the closet. You can greatly improve on your dinner food. You don;t give a choice for people to choose. Not a way to run a restaurant. Quality of dinner food very poor. You should offer 100% orange juice at breakfast.
Review 51:Liked the service Giorgio gives in the dining room. He is the best asset you have. Very nice breakfast buffet. Very nice overall looking hotel. Y
Review 52:No swimming pool for young children
Review 53:Good central location, Room was very big, nice and comfortable. Breakfast was very good, rich, and with quality ingredients. Dinner was also really nice.
Review 54:The hotel has very high standards. The staff is excellent, the location superb and the style very interesting. I would recommend it without hesitation.
Review 55:- The Hotel Managment should improve the Business Center. There is an immediate need for color laser printer to be there. - Wi-Fi in all common areas (lobby, etc.).
Review 56:You can have better and more fresh cuzine , the pool would be better, with a bar maybe .
Review 57:Very central and comfortable , the green invifonmemt , quiet friendly people , I will stay there again !
Review 58:The opening hours of the swimming pool are totaly incomprehensible: I stayed at the hotel in August 2012 (temperature: 38 C) and the outdoor swimming pool closed at 19.00 h, which is extremely early (especially for a 5* hotel...). The variety of the breakfast is satisfactory but the quality of some products (dairy products and cold cuts) is not the best.
Review 59:Very friendly, kind and helpful staff, nice spacious rooms, convenient location, parking place is an advantage.
Review 60:We were very disappointed with the Table D'ote menu which is served as part of an half-board deal at the moment. There was no choice of dish and the portions were very small. Previously we have stayed at the same hotel and dinner was buffet style and with a wide choice of different food including vegetarian,
Review 61:The Breakfast Buffet was absolutely excellent.
Review 62:There were a lot of things that needed repairing. Knobs fell off the cupboards. The shower head was broken, there was no plug in the bath. the Air con was inadequate, we had the remove the cover and leave it on all the time to cool the room. The balcony door fell off when my husband opened it.
Review 63:Location, initial appearance
Review 64:The bathroom in the room for disable people was not accessible. Personelgave you the impression of faking politeness.
Review 65:Breakfast and large room. Good location.
Review 66:Children below 16 are not allowed in the indoor swimming pool. This should be known to families before they commit to staying since the spa is a major feature of the hotel.
Review 67:Simply magnificent!
Review 68:The quality of services does not correspond to the hotel's pretension. The only elevator was breaking down constantly (we were with a big stroller and chose a 5 star hotel precisely not to be in trouble with it and the small children we have). The swimming pool was closed on Sundays (!?) and was not for children under 16, but that was not mentioned when we booked. We counted on it to entertain the children. The booking was obligatory to be half-pension, but the dinner only started at 8 pm (again, this was not clear when the booking was made). In the rooms was very hot (outside was 12C), and once you open the window, the heating system of the hotel was audible like industrial noise.
Review 69:The room was spacious and nice. The breakfast was good. The staff was flexible and helpful to save us some of the discomfort of the arrangements.
Review 70:Wi-fi is not free
Review 71:Not so good isolation, sounds in the morning
