Hotels near Saint George Greek Orthodox Church, Ioannina

Την Παρασκευή 6/8 έκανα κράτηση μέσω internet στο Lake Spirit Boutique Hotel & Spa στα Γιάννενα για μία διανυκτέρευση για το Σάββατο 7/8. Στην κράτηση μου η οποία επιβεβαιώθηκε από το ξενοδοχείο γίνεται ρητή αναφορά στο ότι είμαι χρήστης αναπηρικού αμαξιδίου και μάλιστα τηλεφωνικά μίλησα τέσσερις φορές με υπαλλήλους του αναφορικά με το θέμα οι οποίοι με διαβεβαίωσαν δεν υπάρχει κανένα απολύτως πρόβλημα. Λόγω κάποιων συναντήσεων που είχα στην πόλη έφτασα στο ξενοδοχείο στις 5:00 το απόγευμα και Βρέθηκα προ εκπλήξεως Γιατί δεν υπήρχε πρόσβαση προς το ξενοδοχείο από το πεζοδρόμιο. Όπως μπορείτε να δείτε στη φωτογραφία ακριβώς έξω από την είσοδο του ξενοδοχείου υπάρχει μία αναπηρική θέση στάθμευσης όμως αν παρκάρω εκεί αυτομάτως κλείνω τη μοναδική ράμπα πεζοδρομίου προς το ξενοδοχείο. Μπαίνοντας στο ξενοδοχείο υπήρχε ένα αναβατόριο το οποίο όπως μπορείτε να δείτε στις φωτογραφίες επουδενί δεν μπορεί να εξυπηρετήσει έναν χρήστη αναπηρικού αμαξιδίου. Είναι κατάλληλο για ηλικιωμένα άτομα ή για άτομα με κάποια ελαφριά αναπηρία. Το αναβατόριο Είναι μικρό είναι σε πολύ λάθος θέση με κίνδυνο για τον χρήστη αναπηρικού αμαξιδίου όταν τον πλησιάσει να πέσει στις σκάλες και το πιο κοντινό σημείο που μπορεί να φτάσει αφήνει μεγάλο κενό μεταξύ αμαξιδίου και αναβατορίου ώστε να γίνει η μεταφορά. Ακόμα και αν μπορούσε να γίνει η μεταφορά ( και μιλάω υποθετικά) θα έπρεπε κάποιος να μετακινεί το αναπηρικό αμαξίδιο αυτομάτως αυτός ο χώρος δεν μπορεί να καλείται προσβάσιμος Η υπάλληλος της ρεσεψιόν η οποία ήταν ευγενέστατη και εξυπηρετικότατη προσφέρθηκε να με βοηθήσει στη μεταφορά η οποία εκ των πραγμάτων είναι αδύνατη προς το αναβατόριο γιατί αυτές τις οδηγίες είχε όμως ούτε την πιστοποιηση έχει για κάτι τέτοιο ούτε τις γνώσεις και σε περίπτωση ατυχήματος θα έφερε μέρος της ευθύνης. Μάλιστα μου είπε ότι το ξενοδοχείο στο παρελθόν έχει δεχτεί κάποια άτομα με αναπηρία Αλλά πάντα με συνοδό και τότε της είπα ότι υπάρχουμε και εμείς Πού είμαστε ενεργοί και αυτοεξυπηρετούμενοι. Προσπάθησε να επικοινωνήσει με την υπεύθυνη του ξενοδοχείου η οποία βρισκόταν σε άδεια και εναλλακτικά επικοινώνησε με την ιδιοκτήτρια του ξενοδοχείου και όταν μου έδωσε το τηλέφωνο για να μιλήσω μαζί της δέχτηκα επίπληξη με άσχημο τρόπο και τόνο από εκείνη η οποία στην ουσία με μάλωσε χωρίς να με αφήσει να αρθρώσω λέξη. Φυσικά δεν συνέχισα την επικοινωνία έφυγα από το ξενοδοχείο και βρήκα κάπου αλλού δωμάτιο παρότι λόγω της συγκεκριμένης ώρας η τιμή που βρήκα ήταν αρκετά μεγαλύτερη από αυτήν που θα έβρισκα την προηγούμενη μέρα Απαράδεκτες υποδομές ακκμα πιο Απαράδεκτη η συμπεριφορά της ιδιοκτήτριας του ξενοδοχείου Κανένας σεβασμός στην αναπηρία

It was a desperate experience, I had the impression that 23 years ago I had gone before, and then everything was new and nice in the rooms, and I thought it would be renovated, but disappointment. Though it was still warm in the autumn and in the evening if you closed the window in a square room, you were to dig, opening when there were no wheat, except old strawberries and old rolls, the mosquitoes immediately ate you to the best. Not to say that right underneath is the center's basins, so you didn't know what else but spiders, crows, mice, bats would finally come into the room while you were sleeping. The AC made it like a broken boat, you were afraid of maintaining it, and it didn't let you sleep, the beds from the 80s, and these were twisting, the closets were incredibly old. A refrigerator with a wooden door, like a closet, with broken paddles, a bathroom with a square and a dirty curtain, which you couldn't even go to the bath without touching you. You didn't even want to wash, because you felt in this square that you'd get dirty somehow. Really two annoying hours of sleep, I went to a center to have a market and a taxi nearby and finally this morning I left for a suburb with all the transport costs, without careing how mentally wronged I was. The positive is that the elevators, receptions and intermediate spaces seem decent and the staff is very kind.

Hotel is located in not really interesting area, about 1km from the center. It is very loud area with frequent traffic that made it impossible for us to sleep with windows open. There is no parking around, so you need to find your own spot in streets around. Room was small, a bit too simple, but clean. Bathroom is outdated and it needs some love - especially shower curtains and toilet seat. AC in room is positioned directly above the bed, so it’s very hard to set it up to cool down the hot room with windows closed because of traffic noise, but not to have direct cold air current directed at your head. Breakfast was acceptable, mostly based on frozen pastry baked in oven. There is actually no kitchen, just one small room with ovens, fridge and sliding door hiding the only toilet in lobby/bar area. It was strange using the toilet while you feel the heat and smells from ovens just few feet away from you. Staff was friendly and helpful! If the hotel was 2 star place priced well below the price we payed for it, I wouldn’t write a review this harsh. But since I was expecting 4 star hotel, it was a disappointment.

Located in a quiet place, this hotel overlooks the lake and is in walking distance of the castle and the centre of Ioannina. Very easy parking in the surrounding area, big, clean room and bathroom. Staff was welcoming, kind and helpful and breakfast was amazing with lots of choices of both local and international taste. The rooms need some renovations.

Let's start from the basics. What you see in the photos do not represent reality. Well done to the photographer who managed to hide how dilapidated the accommodation is. Specifically: The rooms too small, one on top of the other. The rooms are filthy, dust everywhere. The glass in the bathroom door has probably never been cleaned (see attached photo). Closets, dirty. Basin; Her bottom had changed color, bleach is never used, not a single day did we smell anything in bleach or anything at all that reminded us of cleanliness. The building is in a bad condition externally (damaged - paintwork) but also internally as the furniture was battered and had lost its color as well as the walls have been painted in the corridors. The aesthetics of the hotel are also miserable, curtains everywhere for no reason with strange lights that you don't see in the corridors at night. The room has too many lights, which do not turn off individually, they have a central switch. So either you will be squinted by the light or you won't be able to see in front of you. In the shower we found half-finished shampoos from the previous ones that the cleaners had not collected. 3 days in a row, they didn't put me a panosedon and I had to call them at 12 at night to bring it to me. The cleaners don't use a vacuum cleaner. Broom and farasi and holy God. On the last day I went back up to the room after breakfast and was sweating, we had to leave it wide open for 10 minutes to let it dry out in the cold. Ok I get that people sweat when they clean and do chores but not like this guys, we couldn't stop. Balcony; Ok, chairs on the balcony? ok Small table? Never, so you can't sit on a balcony if you want (if you want to sit on a balcony in the stink, cobwebs and dust that has literally never been cleaned). Let's go to breakfast: Breakfast in the basement ( -1 ) at tables for 8 people which were full of crumbs and you will necessarily have to eat breakfast with other strangers at the same table. The food stale and plastic, the only nice thing was the water. Napkins missing, only if you asked. On Monday, we went down half an hour after breakfast had ended because no one had informed us that on weekdays it ends earlier. So we left hungry. Kudos to the photographer as he has amazingly managed to camouflage this shack you call a 4 star hotel. And if they paid us, we wouldn't go again. 200 euros a night for a family of 3, I'd rather burn it than give it to them. It is worth noting that the most important problem of all of these is cleanliness. It is not clean, the cleaners do not clean, they enter your room for 5 minutes, throw 2 sheets and leave. I suggest the management to review the staff they have chosen for the cleanliness of the accommodation. 1 star because I can't put 0. Far from specific

We visited the picturesque village of Lingiades on our return trip from vacation. As the distance to our home was very long, I had decided to visit this village, for which I had many informations for his excellent view and rest there for a night. I havem;t booked a room,as the city of Ioannina is very near, If there was not an availability in Lingiades. When I entered the village tired of the long journey (from the island Zakynthos) and under heavy rain the first building I passed was this hotel. So when anout availability and price, the gentle lady offered me a room in a price (100€) higher than I would spend for a night, but the hotel was a very beautiful boutique hotel and i was really tired to look for an other hotel. In the end the hotel was totally worth the cost I paid. The room was dreamy, had an air of 19th century, while the rest areas of the hotel had a modern, but very pleasant architecture. And the view from the room was magnifiscent. The lake, the small island with the village and in the fond the city of Ioannina. And although we could see everything, there was no sound of the city activities. The lady in the reception had warned us that the breakfast was extraordinary. And indeed it was. It wasn’t a buffet breakfast. The ladies of the kitchen entered several times with special dishes. Savory, sweets, pies, jams, eggs in different versions (fried, boiled, omelettes, scrambled), cakes, biscuits, pancaces, fruits, etc,etc, It is not possible to describe the whole menu. But finally we asked them kindly to stop,as we could not consume more. And everything we had tasted bas delicious. I would like to stay at least for a day more, but unfortunately my wife had to work next day. I promised myself to stay there for 3-4 days another time. Unfortunatley in October, when I wanted to book for a night again on return trip (from Peloponess that time), the hotel was fully booked ! The village has at least 2 restaurants, one of them, ”Kukuwagia” (where we ate) is very famous in Ioannina region.

Definitely not five star, I would say 4 star is near. Hotel is little bit outdated - i mean paint for flaking etc. Check in process was very slow and the service was good, not excellent. In pool and pool bar service was very average. Bed was great and room too! Balcony was nice but dirty and no chairs or table, why? Garden and pool and the hall of hotel was very beautiful!
