Helen Hotel

  : This is a little gem of a family run hotel in a wonderfully quiet spot. Our room was spotless and well equipped and the home cooking in the restaurant was traditional Greek food at its very best, cooked with an obvious desire to showcase the best local ingredients rather than the ubiquitous gyros served elsewhere. For the less adventurous or those with fussy kids, they also serve homemade burgers, pizzas and pasta. The location was ideal, on the outskirts of Askeli with a small private beach as well as a lovely garden and swimming pool within the hotel grounds. The pictures don't do it justice and certainly can't describe how welcoming the hosts are.
  : My only criticism, which applies to all the places on the island, is the prevalence of plastic water bottles. It would be great to have water in jugs or glass bottles please.

  : Breakfast was a la carte. We tried almost all the options and they were all excellent! the location we had breakfast was amazing. Just across the street from the hotel on the beach!!!
  : We were 4 people, us couple and our 21 year old sons. We asked for a second key but the owner said that they don't give one for security reasons. But we had to get up to open for the boys when they were out at night, as the key was also used for the electricity inside the room. Regarding the cleaning, although it seemed cleaned, when we saw the cleaning lady cleaning our bathroom, she was using very used and dirty cleaning towels for every surface (toilets, basins etc) Also our room was from the renovated ones and it was very ok, but my sister had to book one of the old ones (there was no availability for renovated) and she had many issues with the toilet. It was very very old had problems with the flow.. smell.. and so on....
