Celia Apartments

Those beds I didn’t mention look at those pics , the dirty fridge, the bath had a hole you could hardly have a shower to small, door would not close in bathroom keeper hitting the toilet, what a mess a hostel is better than this place This place is a death trap Stay somewhere else. The Matilda hotel where the people running it are helpful & nice & always there for you no matter

This place looks nice on websites but it’s a death trap . The owner threw us out of ouo original room , then downsized us it was terrible. With the heat wave the gardens should have been maintained. Old furniture old everything, always hurting your legs on bed has there where metal plates & screws ?no smoke alarms ? Just a host which is never there only to be rude to you . We left

Before we arrived the owner sent us whats up message with general information. We arrived late around 22.00, I was informed that we cannot eat there dinner, as it was too late. The day after, very poor breakfast, with out any effort, bread, mortadella, hard-boiled eggs( cooked day before), yellow cheese, jam, butter, juice , coffee , tea. Nothing else, everyday the same. The girl who served the breakfast during our stay never smile, never left the bar to clean the trays. I was very surprised that every guest cleaning after them selfs from breakfast. Breakfast from 8- 9.30 but 9.15 almost completely empty, she's cleaning food very quickly and seems upset and stressed as I saw her after breakfast, cleaning rooms. We went to speak with the Yannis I guess he is the owner. He is hiding in his office behind the glass, I couldn't really see his face. Any of my questions, he mentioned that he sent me all info on whats. I asked him if he can order for us car and he said that all phone numbers been sent on whats up. Wasn't helpful at all. Yannis never left his office, working a few hours a day, he never came to his guest say hello, while we had it breakfast. He is just in his office and thats it. Firs day I reported him that the Bathroom is blocked and water is coming out on our floor. Hi said , he will report to the cleaner ( same girl who served breakfast). Never no-one came to fix it. Completely ignored. After the poor breakfast nothing is open here, no bar, no shop, no food, no water, no coffee, just nothing! The restaurant is open from 18 - 20 , only 2 hours a day. You are in the middle of nowhere and need car every day. The room was old and ugly, uncomfortable small beds, no cuttle in the room. Bathroom old, always blocked. All needs to be refurbish . Its nice view from balcony but this is the only good thing about this place. Lots of mosquito in the room. You cannot hear the sea waves relaxing noise, because on every balcony is air-conditioning working very loud. We just survived here 4 days as we had it Quad to travel all island. After 4 days when renting Quad was ended, we still want to enjoy at least the last 3 days ( paid for 7 days). We changed the hotel for very good hotel near us Porto Zorro Beach Hotel, almost same price but all-inclusive, everything was perfect and we were welcomed there. I'm very surprised that this property has a very good reviews and high score. I'm travelling lots and this was my worst experience ever. We all work hard to enjoy holiday time to time . Don't waist time and money for this place . Avoid !

DO NOT book a stay at Celia without hiring a car. We found out too late that the place is isolated and to get anywhere on foot is virtually impossible, especially for the elderly. The setting, however, is beautiful, the pool is large and well cared for and the small beach is a minutes walk away. The beach comprises of stones and shingle and there is nowhere to sit. Also it is difficult to access the sea because of large slippery stones. Once in, however, the water is lovely and warm! After a few hours my husband and I realised we were trapped. The walk up to the main road was not far but there were no footpaths on it and it was very dangerous for pedestrians. The nearest shop and taverna are about 1.5K away. To walk to the next beach would have been difficult for me and impossible for my husband. So to get any shopping we had to hire an expensive taxi and found the fare different every journey we took! Celia is old but the rooms are comfortable and clean and the bedding and towels changed every 3 days. The 'kitchen ' left a lot to be desired. 2 electric rings, a fridge with a small ice box, a few items of crockery and cutlery, 2 pans and a sink with no plug or bowl. There was no kettle, toaster,oven or microwave and nowhere to prepare food. The shower was hand held and there was neither a bath plug nor a working one in the basin.Breakfast was included in the cost but was exactly the same each day. Tinned peaches, yogurt, bread, butter,jams, hard boiled eggs and cheap ham and cheese. And a couple of cereals. From 9.30am until 6.00pm there was no drink or food available. A drinks machine would be handy as you had to climb back up to your room from the pool area to get a coffee or cold drink.The food served in the restaurant was good but there were no real Greek dishes, such as stifado, kleftiko or moussaka. The restaurant closed at 8.30pm and there was nowhere you could just sit with a drink afterwards. We had to return to our room but there wasn't even a TV. And the restaurant was closed Sundays so we either had to get a taxi or make something in our room. We should like to return to Zakynthos one day as we saw hardly anything of the island.
