Anika Studios

Great little place loved it. Close enough to walk to the centre without all the noise. Excellent staff, most helpful and always smilingly. Really fab food. Decent prices. Would definitely go again. Thanks for a great stay for my friends and I.

We were genuinely disappointed with our recent stay at Anika Studios, especially after reading so many positive reviews beforehand. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were not particularly welcoming, and although we were aware of the additional charges (€10 per night for air conditioning and the tourist tax), there was little effort made to make us feel comfortable or valued as guests. We were allocated room 307, located up two flights of stairs. There is no lift so bare this in mind if you have issues with stairs. At first glance, the room appeared basic but acceptable, which we expected from a two-star accommodation. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired. We were told the room would be cleaned every two days, but aside from a change of towels and sheets, no actual cleaning took place. The floor was never swept or mopped during our 7-day stay, and a dead wasp in the corner remained untouched the entire time. By the end of the week, the floor was visibly dirty. To make matters worse, one set of sheets had bloodstains on them — completely unacceptable. The bathroom was shockingly small, with a poor layout. The shower curtain failed to contain any water, flooding the floor almost immediately. A constant unpleasant smell came from the bathroom drain, making it even more uncomfortable. The air conditioning was sub-par. The directional fans inside the unit were broken, so air couldn’t be directed properly. It did cool the room eventually, but only after being on for 5–10 minutes. You can’t leave it running while out, so every return to the room meant entering a sweltering space. In the kitchenette, the tap only produced cold water, meaning we had to boil the kettle every time we wanted to wash up. On top of that, there was a persistent foul smell from the sink. The pool area was also disappointing. The aesthetic of the pool areas were lovely and really lured you in. However, unless you woke up extremely early, it was nearly impossible to get a sunbed due to guests reserving them with towels and not showing up until the afternoon. Despite having two pools, sunbed availability remained an issue. The adults-only pool had plenty of unused space that could easily accommodate more sunbeds, yet the hotel hasn’t done so. The main pool is shaded for most of the day. Food at the pool bar was tasty, but expensive. After visiting the nearby Telhinis Hotel (which we highly recommend), we found their pool bar offered the same items at much lower prices. For example, a bottle of Mythos at Anika was €5.50, compared to €3 at Telhinis. A club sandwich at Anika was €11.50 versus €5 next door. The pool bar staff were nice, especially Valentino who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. There was also a lack of atmosphere around the hotel. Other guests kept to themselves, and we didn’t experience the friendly, social vibe we’ve found at other small hotels. We feel like this hotel is aesthetically pleasing from the outside looking i

Firstly let’s start off with the surrounding area 1- restaurant - food quality excellent, prices on a par with everywhere else 2 - pool area - 2 pools to use bot superb, the Shultz only pool was fantastic, plenty of sunbeds and all really really comfy 3 - bar areas- sadly over-priced 3.50€ for a can of coke is very steep The rooms could do with an update and no English speaking TV channels so no point in wasting the effort of putting a TV in the rooms (save your money) shower was more like a power shower superb, would have rather had a pool view but with that may come noise so no bother really, rooms a little small but adequate enough, staff are excellent and very friendly, we have 5 rooms booked for our wedding next year with possibly more yet to book so that answers would I recommend, a stunning restaurant about 200 yards from here called Bridges that you must try

Really nice hotel, fine pool area, stad very nice. Always ready to help. Food where better at the hotel then it was in the city, would recommend gyros platter and gyros at snack menu. Pasta top very good. Expected s old rom wire a bed, but very mordene feel when I arrived. Kitchen Wear in the room to heat food from Yesterday og just if u want a small snack there is a toaster to.

Stayed for 11 nights in May 2024, a lovely place and the pool area is great for a cool down after a walk back from the beach. The rooms have what you need, however the walls are a bit thin and you hear conversation and snoring in the next room. Food - amazing! Everything is very fresh and I recommend the beef stifado. The breakfast is the best we've ever seen from a hotel buffet (even better than what the 5 stars offer!) - highly recommended and worth the price!

Rooms are not refurbished to a high standard so this is dissapointing as it wasnt as good as the photos looked online. Bathroom needs doing up as there is a strange panel on the left wall full of rust. Bathroom window dirty. Bit of mold building up too along shower . Shower head old. One bulb missing from mirror in main room but other than this the main room was fine +clean. Not much space to store your clothes if you are there for a week as a couple. Bin provided in kitchen cupboard broken so we just kept the lid open constantly. Cleaners emptied the bin so im not sure why they didnt give us a new bin. Floors not mopped to a high standard. You wouldnt really know the room had been cleaned.The bed is the main highlight of the room as its very comfortable. Pool was very nice. Added bonus was the Cats! Complex feels more like an apartment complex for locals rather than a holiday complex. Food in restaurant was nice big portion for a good price! Im not one to complain on holiday as im there to enjoy, i also paid a fair price to be there and I dont feel it impacted my holiday at all just wouldnt stay there again. A lock should be put on the courtesy shower that you provide near the luggage room.
