Amintas Apart Hotel

Some positives, but sadly more negatives. A special mention; During my stay the host messaged me that someone needed to come to the apartment for some repairs. I was not there at that that moment and told the host I did not want anyone there (all my things and valuables are there). He ignored my wishes, forced it on me and was sending someone anyway. So I rushed to the apartment. It turned out it was 3 young guys that wanted a tour of the apartment.. The host lied to me, ignored what I wanted, and forced strangers in the apartment. This is really not acceptable in my opinion. Another special mention; At the roof terrace there is a camera. When you sit there you are being watched and recorded! I found this to be really unpleasant, this should really be mentioned beforehand on the airbnb site! Someone actively watches the camera, at one morning some piece of fabric got loos by the wind, and someone came to repair it while I did not report the defect to the host. The only way he could have known is by monitoring the camera.. Check-in; Check-in was bad. I am a foreigner and have no mobile internet. I had contact with the host the day before my arrival. He did not give me crucial information at that time. The day after, when I was in transit and had no internet, only then he sent me the needed info. I did not receive this because I had no internet. After I found the apartment (not easy without good directions) there was nobody for the check-in. I tried to use the wifi at the apartment to contact the host, but the password that the host put at the airbnb site is wrong. So I had to carry my luggage int he heat and find a restaurant with wifi. Only then I received the needed info from the host and could check in. Bad start. Some positives; The apartment is spacious, and there is a very nice roof terrace with a view! The apartment is clean, warm water in the shower works great. Location is nice too, not too far from the harbor and restaurants. There is a coffe corner in the same street, nice place with good breakfast. More negatives; No toilet paper, hand soap, washing machine soap. So the apartment is not fully ready to use on arrival. The kitchen has the basics but only just. Utensils and cups were dirty in the cabinets and needed to be washed before use. There is no brush or sponge to clean dishes. A mosk is about 20 meters away, and the neighbor at the bedroom side has a rooster. So there will be very loud noise very early every morning. Internet speed was very slow, at times it was only enough for low resolution netflix.

Hostel location is very good, the view from the terrace is amazing, really friendly staff. You will feel warm like at home ( but don't worry, when I say warm, the air conditioner is working for summer ). I definitely want to come back again.
