8/10 Very good

Lovely staff and quality breakfast... Olives lovely and great coffee I arrived late for work reasons and they were very helpful to use a delivery service to deliver to the hotel. Balcony had 2 chairs but no table. There was a pull cord plug pulled out of socket in bathroom to repair and easily fixed. Well done. Easy 10 minute walk to IOA airport so will definitely use again Peter

Rent, fräscht och bra service nära flygplatsen

Bra service, fräscht och perfekt läge för oss eftersom det var nära flygplatsen och vi bara skulle övernatta innan resa vidare ut till Lefkada nästa dag. Lagom bensträckare/promenad på 5 minuter från flygplatsen. Lagom stort quadruple.rum för 2 vuxna och 2 barn. Trist men ok frukost.

Essence Contemporary Hotel- Ioannina Aris-Athens

Η διαμονή ήταν πολύ καλή και η περιοχή ήταν βολική για το κέντρο των Ιωαννίνων. Οι άνθρωποι ήταν πολύ φιλόξενοι και το ξενοδοχείο σε άριστη κατάσταση καί με προοπτικές αλλά θέλει κάποιες βελτιώσεις στο service (π.χ. Καθήσαμε 5 βραδιά και δεν αλλάξανε σεντόνια, ούτε το δωμάτιο φαινόταν σφουγγαρισμενο)
