Lamon Hotel

What do members think of this Hotel?

We stayed there for 2 weeks at the begining of May and were most unimpressed by it.
Poor breakfast, laughable plumbing, tiny pool area,no view from room and poor staff.

That's the downside of our holiday, however the upside made up for it:

This was our first visit to Plakias and we enjoyed our stay in the town so much that it will now become a regular destination for us but in future will will find other places to stay.Our next visit will be early May 2008.

We found the general "feel" of Plakias and the local people to be probably the best we have found in over 15 visits to the  Greek Islands. It has everything we need for a relaxing holiday, with good walks nearby and first class eating places.The beach (close to the far end) is also first class.

Only Thassos Town comes close to it for us.

The Hotel was the only downside of our stay.

Hello Daniel,

I've never stayed there but met someone who was there last year and her comments matched yours, and she had paid an extremely large single supplement to boot.

There used to be a review section on this forum until a hacker did his worst, but hopefully it might return if Paul (aka Ploppy, one of the forum administrators) can manage it.

We have always been happy at Kostas Chrysoulla (try searching on this name at top RH corner under "search"). They serve bar breakfasts which seem popular and there are plenty of other places in town for this, as I'm sure you know.

The reasons you list for liking Plakias are the ones I and most other forum members like as well.

Mike

Welcome to the site Daniel

We stayed at the Lamon last year and added the following to this forum on our return.

"We stayed in the Lamon the last 2 weeks of August. The rooms are basic, we were B&B (Breakfast was bread, butter, jam and a cake + tea or coffee, a bit boring after 2 weeks) and apart from a fridge in the room, it had no other cooking/drinks facilities.
We were in one of the rooms that had not been refurbished, but it was OK. The air-con was extra (3 euros per night). Safety deposit was in a locked draw in reception (1.5 euros per night).
The seating area in front of the hotel is wonderful to 'people watch' (It is also where breakfast is taken)
The serving staff were very attentive and helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day, and the linen was changed very regularly.
We did not suffer from any nuisance noise problems at night (people on an early morning departure woke us on one occasion, with the wheels of the suitcases on the marble floor). We had expected some noise due to its location, but were pleasantly surprised. The pool is small (approx 10metres x 10 metres), but the beach is only across the road.
We enjoyed our stay at the Lamon and would not hesitate to return there (only not on B&B)."

Although the rooms are very basic, (we were lucky to have a view over the hills behind Plakias) we spent so little time in there the issues stated above did not bother us. In fact we will be back in the Lamon in 3 weeks.

I will report back to the forum if standards are any different to last year.

21 days and counting.
