Christina Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Sam E

I'm going to the Christina in sept and wondering what its really like? I've read some really bad reviews on different websites, and I'm more than a little apprehensive. If anyones been recently can you let me know, thanks   I went to tsilivi in June this year and stayed at the Planos apartholtel, and loved it, tryed to book there again, but completly sold out hence why I booked here, lol, but wish I'd read reviews first. But for people who have been asking about how far away it is, its only a few mins from the planos/tsilivi area, we walked by it a few times while there, thats why I booked cos its close to the part of tsilivi we liked, but if you're wanting the main bit,(near popeyes etc) its a good 20-30 walk.

click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlargeWell the hotel was a nightmare, I dont know what room that other women and fam were in but ours was horrid. I came back with a rash from the bed covers, the staff were ignorant and soo un helpful!! We brought a toaster cos theres nothing to cook on, and we had to hide it from the maid cos on the notice it says you cant bring in any electrical products of your own, its just a ploy to get you to spend at the bar, and from what we tried the food was horrid. And I know you dont go on holiday to stay in your room, but my fellas a diabetic and needs carbs in a morning with his insulin shot! But the thing that made up for it was the view, we were suppose to have inland view, but the sea view was amazing!
As for the cutlery, etc what people were moaning about, we had two of everything, so that was ok, you do only get one toilet roll on arrival, but it is self catering, so its expected. the towels were a little grubby, but ok and we got plenty, and changed every two or three days. The bedding was horrid, not cleaned properly and as I said I had a rash from head to toe with it, had to sleep on my own towels i took. The bathroom is a nightmare, our shower was either scolding hot or cold no middle ground, the shower curtain was so grubby, the mirror and shelf had smears, water marks, toothpaste and god knows what else from previous people cleaning teeth etc, which wasnt cleaned when we got there. and the floor...the drainage was not done properly and its was 1-2 inch of cold, dirty water continually there, we had to ruin a pain of my fellas flip flops, to use to stand on for the toilet etc! It was like an andventure every morning and evening
the cleaner tho bless her, did the best with what she could and we left her a tip as she had it rough from the staff running the place.
As for the steep hill, its not too bad, and beleive me ladies, after two weeks there my bum loved it, like a little work out, lol!
overall, as many people have said if you're using it just as a base and to sleep its fine, but dont expect much, we deffinatly wont be going there again, like some one else said, for the sake of spending a few more hundred quid for some where, nicer, cleaner and friendlier, do it!!

click to enlarge click to enlargeEver going to tsilivi, go to Friends...its the best bar in all the town! It really made our holiday, all the staff are really friendly, they've always got a smile for you, rem your name and on a good day what you usually drink, lol. And they all must be knacked, as they dont close till you leave, we had many a night in there till 7, 8 am...the beer and cocktails are cheap, bathrooms are clean and great for us ladies! The food is great and very reasonable priced. And the entertainment is great, whether its footy, the band night, quiz and kareoke, its always a good laugh! Yanis really puts his heart and soul into the place and it really shows, plus yanis is soo nice - my fellas a diabetic and we had to buy him a new blood glucose tester, only prob was it was in greek, Yanis took the time out of his very busy day to sit down read it and explain how to use it, I mean how nice of him to do that, thanks yanis, and his wife is soo glam, gorgous and friendly too!! As are all the staff, I just cant wait to book next years hols to go back there!

1st photo from left is andy, the hunky american, the dj, but never got his name, the infamous Yanis, sonia the lovely waitress, yanis gorgous wife, the crazy ilia and the great nemis, love you all!!! the next photo is me and ilia being daft
