Nice location, marble floors and corridors, clean pool, nice balconies
but -mattresses squeaky and so old they are all caved in, not comfortable to sleep on, very noisy
-if you count on wi-fi, forget it - almost never works
-poor drainage in toilets
-noise is truly horible at night, I would only recommend it for young people who spend the night out anyway.
-no blankets, so you get cold at night if you get optional a/c ( I do not count smelly old ones hidden at the top of wardrobe)
-rooms are very small, I do not see how they can accommodate 4 ppl as advertised- " studios" are misleading, rooms are just standard size with kitchenette squeezed in the corridor
-no shelves for clothes available, you have to keep your staff in bags- not good for a stay longer than 1 night.
GUYS!!!!! I am still figuring out whether I will be able to come this year!! Ive been 8 times in a row and I miss being there!! If its not gonna happen this year, then DEFINATELY next year!! So Theo and gang... maybe I ll see you this month, otherwise be prepared for the Dutch invasion next year again!!!! Take care!! Hans Amsterdam
Hi All,
Hi, we have also moved from staying in the Dimis to booking directly with the owner of Alex Studios and jus having flight only. Were still on the same flight we had from the begining its jus a extra £48 but wede rather pay this bcos we no the Alex is a decent and nice place t stay rather than stayin in some rat ridden brothel which is what the Dimis sounded like. So to all you others tha have been moved to the Dimis and arn't happy use should do what we have done.
Dear all
Dear friends, sent us e-mail to mylaganas@gmail.com for direct booking (accommodation only).
Hi Stephanie read your posts, who did you book with cos same thing has happened to us and we dont wana stay in the dimis but when we priced other hols they were to dear. let me no pls thanks Katie x
hey.
Hey all,
Hi 6 girls from newcastle were due to stay at the alex as well in july. We are also not happy, we got the same rubbish from Libra and are travel agent said they is not much they can do. The worst thing is the hotal the Dimis is horrible. The Alex was getting reviews of 10 the Dimis is getting 1. The reviews on hoilday watchdog say it all.
We too have this problem.....I have been told that it is due to 'contractual difficulties'.
Me and my friends have received a letter today to say that we cant stay at the Alex studios and we have been relocated to the Dimis studios....
We too have just been told that we cant stay at the Alex, Libra had booked the whole hotel and has fallen out with the management... quite dissapointing as we've quite enjoyed it there in the past. We're booked from the 13th July and apparently they've relocated us to "Dimis Studios", a club 18-30 hotel (which we purposely tried to avoid) and looks moody to say the least!
Does anyone know which operator will be using the Alex instead this summer?? we're tempted to try and get a refund and re-book it possible.just booked a hol 2 zante, n stayin in the alex studioslooking forward to it,seems like it has good ratings
hey all,
where abouts in london u from boys???x
Alex Studios sounds spot on, they'll be 6 lads from London there on the 5th August too! I'm counting down the days... let's get ruined!
well i suppose we will see then, u girls have no chance.lol
