Villa Murano

We had reservations at this hotel. When we arrived, there was no one to greet us. Another person was waiting also. Checking was 1:00 pm. The host did not strive until 1:40 pm. The other persons room was not clean so heavy wait longer. The rooms are very small; the TV was the size of a lap top with a distorted picture! The bed was not very comfortable. The shower curtain was not long enough to keep the water in the shower stall, so water dripped onto the floor! The area (Fira) is very congested and it was extremely hot! There were three cruise ships docked so the narrow streets were extremely crowded! I think this will be toward the bottom of my list for a return trip!

Positive: Large and clean room with four beds, and good air conditioner. Clean and nice sized bathroom. The view from the shared terrace is nice. Negative: No proper window - like being in a bunker! Dangerous in case of a fire - no escape. No table to eat by, no private space outside if you want to have breakfast with your family. The pool was small, dirty and ice cold. There was a lot of noisy traffic passing just outside the villa. The outdoor space felt dirty and there was no flowers, pillows or any attempt to make the space feel welcoming. The receptionist was not offering any help with the luggage, not even my 65 year old mother in law was offered help. There was no possibility to buy a cup of coffee or some snacks. You could buy water, bear or coke, but even this possibility was closed after 6 pm… Conclusion - Villa Murano is fine if you only need a bed to sleep for the night - that’s it.
