I had picked Madalena hotel after a detailed search on travel catalogues and the web, including TripAdvisor as a source of information. I booked a single room (apparently the only one in the hotel) through Italy's leading tour operator, mid June 2005.
Upon my arrival, I was appalled at the state of the room: reeeeally tiny, extremely dirty, with an horrible bathroom. The only cupboard and the bathroom door were broken, the only chair filthy, nothing to hang a jacket or a towel on, the blankets stinking.
I complained, to no avail. The owner refused even to have a look at the room, maybe too many stairs to climb and bother? My only chance not to spend an awful week in Mykonos was to complain directly to the tour operator, and (inspected the room) obtained another room, at a different hotel.
Finally, breakfast is basic, and the pool useless.
Only pluses, the location and the spectacular views on the port and bay.
