This hotel is awful. we are a couple in our early forties and arrived at this hotel begining of August 2006 to find the place was filthy. the bathroom was filthy, (see photo) the rooms are very small and very very basic. the cooking facilities if you can call them that are minimal. we arrived to a very dirty room. with dirty cooking facilities(remainer of mouldy egg on frying pans.) the fridge was broke and dirty. we also shared the room with the local ant farm. The room was only cleaned after we complaind to the rep that we had someone elses toenails on the carpet. the towels were only changed once a week and the bins emptied twice a week. Olympic advertise this hotel as a 3 star (note the 3 flames) not to be confused. it has no star rating at all but just the 3 flames. the local charge which was suposed to be minimal for air conditioning is 85 euros for the 2 weeks (not cheap).
the pool area is dirty and hardly cleaned, the filters in the pool dont work properly, there are aparent dangers all around the pool area. this include slimey steps into pool, rusty screws sticking up in childrens pool area, barrier between the small pool and main pool was broken and very jaggered, some the underwater lights in the pool were out of there sockets and hanging by the wires. The main bar area at the front of the hotel is really bad the chairs are either broken, dirty, without covers or the ones with covers are all filty and ripped.(see photo)There is a 24 hour shop but double the price of the local supermarket.
The rep did as much as he could but if you are not willing to pay for an upgrade then you will have to stay put.
its far enough out of the centre to be quiet with some nice tavernas on the way. we suggest you try Sizzlers if you love a great steak fab restaurant. the beach is also a great place to be very clean and shallow water.
overall avoid at all cost no matter how cheap it is offered.

This was the WORST holiday that we have ever had. I would not even give it 1 circle. We were told 3.5 stars. 1star is giving that place more credit that what is due.

We were told that this would be ideal for a young family. Not in the centre of Faliraki, a nice quiet secluded area to relax with the children.

We were there for 2 weeks and by the middle of the first week we couldnt wait to get home. We hated the room, it was dirty, smelled of smoke from the previous guests, had water marks all around the bath and the sink, the toilet had not been cleaned, the kitchenette was a disaster the tap did not work, the cooker took 2 hours to heat and to make things worse they have bed-bugs. After the first night, my husband and my twin boys were complaining about being very itchy all over. We all had bite marks all over our bodies. We later found out that this was due to bed-bugs.

We tried to stay out of the room as much as possible. We thought the pool area was nice. A little pool sectioned off for the twins, great we thought. Some of the other guests decided to use the childrens pool and barrier to play volleyball. So they children were forced out of the childrens pool for adults to play in. The language was diabolical, all of the time there was swearing and lots of drinking pool side. Our rep was not caring, she was more interested in getting more money from us to change to a different hotel. We refused to pay so we were stuck into a different room. This time we were at the front of the hotel , with a pool view instead of the back of the hotel. This room had a better view, we looked directly over the pool instead of at solid rock. After we were moved the problems got worse and worse. Loud music all day every day, rude drunk guests swearing in front of the children, smoking in the elevator, littering and generally being a nuisance. After 8 days we were shattered with having to ask the rep everyday when we can move, having no sleep as the guests were playing very loud music all night long. The staff at the hotel were all useless at helping. They refused to ask the other guests to be quieter. Eventually we paid 600Euros to move hotel. By that time the boys had picked up ear infections and chest infections from being in the pool. The whole hotel was dirty.

I suggest that if you want to stay in someone elses dirty room, with their urine still on the bathroom floor and dirty toilets then this is the hotel of your dreams if not i STRONGLY suggest choose somewhere else.

stayed here for 2 weeks in june '05..had a great hoilday and a great stay at the achousa apartments..our hotel room was clean, and the people and staff were very friendly..thanks guys!!!!

We went to the Achousa by mistake! We should have been in Corfu not Rhodes but its a long story!! Our travel agent had been the rep there the year before so we decided to give it a go. The hotel was friendly and the staff were nice. The cleaners were very keen to clean your room. We were room only but often had food and drink by the pool. It was very reasonable and very good quality. Water was 35 cents. As we walked down town to we used to stop in the Alabama bar for a drink (and a breather). Local beer was 1 euro a pint. The hotel will order taxis if required. They are fairly cheap. Minimum fare was 5 euros at the time. The pool was great for adults and children alike. Restaurants in the town were very variable. Mostly good quality, cheap food. We ate out for the whole two weeks from brekkie to bedtime. It was a fantastic holiday.
