Villa Helios

If you need a cheap place to sleep while you explore Capri in the day then Villa Helios does the job. It's a great location but i'm baffled to why the reviews are so positive. Staying in capri for just two nights, we booked villa Helios as it was cheap for Capri and had great reviews. Upon arrival we were told that we had been upgraded and there was a free bottle of Prosecco in the fridge however I feel like the Prosecco was a gesture to distract us from the pretty grubby room we we're given (which was different to the room we chose on ***********) The bathroom was mouldy, there was broken switches and smeared mosquitoes on the walls. The bedding was crisp but the room was tired and grubby. I even plugged my phone in to charge and the switch fell out the wall. I would say the only good thing about Villa Helios was the location. Couldn't be in a better location. Short walk from the main square and just off a really great street. Overall cheap for Capri but I wouldn't want to spend a week here.

Shortly after arriving at Villa Helios we discovered our room was infested with mosquitos - one of the most disgusting rooms I have ever stayed in. The hotel staff did nothing to try and resolve the situation, and the hotel manager said he had never heard of such a thing and we would have to talk to the owner of the hotel! The villa is also very worn with little upkeep - desperately in need of fresh paint, fixtures, replacing broken toilet seats, etc. You can do much better elsewhere in Capri - stay at your own risk!
