Xenios Dias Boutique Hotel

I do not understand how this hotel is so highly rated. The rooms are nice and the wifi is great, but that is the only good that can be said about this place. They advertise free onsite parking. Upon arrival we realized that this refers to parking at a church nearby, except the parking lot was completely full. It actually took is 20-30 minutes to find somewhere to park in the vicinity. They also advertise sound proof rooms. The walls are paper thin and you can literally hear every step taken from the room next door. There is also a bar behind the property that plays live music until long after midnight, all of which can be heard in the room. My wife and I planned on getting up at 5-6 am to climb Mount Olympus, but there is no way we could sleep with the level of noise. The AC doesn’t keep the room at an acceptable temperature. It’s been 15 degrees for the last several hours. We approached reception about the issue and he shrugged off our concerns, stating “it’ll cool down”. We told him that it had already been several hour with no change, but he stuck up his guns and assured us that it would miraculously start working with no changes. So, we sweat all night as we were unable to sleep with the noise. I booked 2 nights but will be leaving after 1. I’m sure this place isn’t too bad if you intend on staying out late and can sleep though any noise or heat, but this has been one of the worst stays of my life.
