We arrived at Avra Pahainss hotel for a ten day stay at the split level apartment with three children. Check-in was done by my husband who was asked to pay the whole amount of our stay before even given the key to the room. The third child bed was made in the kitchen/corridor that ended in a large glass door with no shutter or blind which meant plenty of light from about 6:30 in the morning. If my husband and I had not slept in separate beds, that could ruin our holidays having a child up as early as that. The accommodation is old-fashioned recently re-vamped but in a cheap and unprofessional manner, some doors are really old, eg our bathroom door, with the knob not working properly, and some other were masked with cheap wood around them to fit the rest of the renovation. The kitchen is equipped but for two, we were five. There is no coffee machine, don’t be taken back from the pictured in the website, and the towels were old and tired. In our first day I personally put more than half of them in the floor because they either looked grey and overused or had stains. Breakfast was served at the cafe, the girl there was polite and hard working but everything is very carefully measured. If you have fussy eaters in the family certainly not much choice. Thankfully our children are not. Almost every night we found bugs in the room. The hotel is right next to open fields so given there are no nets in any of the windows, I am grateful they were only bugs. We paid 230 per night and in my experience this is way too much for the settings provided. We only stayed half of the nights booked. This in my travelling opinion is an old rented room lodging that tried very hard to be something that it is not, don’t be fooled by the well polished website. …
I had booked the family appartment at Avra Pahainas Hotel for the whole month of September. The reservation was done on airbnb back in June and payment has been send, but now - one week before the trip - Avra Pahainas Hotel has cancelled our reservation without any explanation. I have contacted to hotel and asked how we can solve this, but they refuse to give any reason and/or any suggestion how to keep the reservation or solve any issues there might be. I now stand with both plane- and ferry tickets to Milos Island plus car rental for the whole month, but no accommodation - and its impossible to find an appartment for a family in the same price range with only one week to go. So to anyone planning to visit Avra Pahainas Hotel - be carefull and think twice before you book...
Our stay at Avra Pahainas was pleasurable. My family of 4 stayed in a one-bedroom apartment. The decor was tasteful, the apartment was spacious and the beds comfortable. The apartment and the grounds were very clean. The convenience of having the cafe was great for easy meals. The cons while staying at Avra was the location and it lacked the convenience of having a facility to store luggage and to shower while waiting for your flight or ferry. Although they offered to hold our luggage we were not able to access them between 3-7pm since reception closes. Not convenient for travellers moving around from island to island. If you plan on staying here, set your expectations accordingly. This is a family-run apartment rental, not a standard hotel.
Our stay at Avra Pahainas was wonderful . The room was very clean , comfortable and spacious with a fantastic View . The hotels restaurant was also very good. You will need a car to travel around the island to visit other beaches even though you have a beach walking distance from the hotel . Our host Elias was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him , he went above and beyond for us. Thank you Elias we will be back . Best regards Steve andMary(Australia)
Spacious, sparkling clean suite with a lovely terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea. Close to Pollonia and an easy drive to other parts of Milos. The outdoor restaurant serves delicious, healthy food, especially the breakfasts. Best omelette I have ever eaten.
