Niriides Hotel

On the surface this hotel looks fine, upon arrival all of the buildings and facilities seem to match up to expectations from pictures, but that's about where it ended for us. Luckily we had booked a superior room, giving us a pool view, however, the standard rooms look to be either basically underground or overlooking wasteland. The location of the hotel is only really good if you plan to stay local or you have a car rented for your stay (be warned there are only about 9 parking spaces so you may have to leave your car on the road) but there is a small strip nearby with some shops, restaurants and bars, also the beach is only 10 mins walk. The all inclusive food was diabolical(see attached photo of "Lasagne", they served almost the exact same food every day for both lunch and dinner, except on a Sunday where they had "Greek Night" which comprised of adding Gyros & Soulvaki to their normal menu. We opted to just eat out for most meals (breakfast was okay). All inclusive drinks were a complete waste of time if you wanted something alcoholic, I have never experienced such watered down spirits in all my life, it seemed although you could probably drink 100 drinks and still be completely sober. The staff appeared very miserable and unapproachable and not once during the entire week did anyone actually try to interact with us. This also goes from the manager, who seemed to randomly enforce a "1 alcoholic drink at a time" per person rule for us halfway through the holiday, despite others not having to adhere to this. (As mentioned the drinks were that week that there was no chance of anyone becoming drunk and disorderly anyway, we just wanted a couple to take up to our balcony at night due to the absenceof any other entertainment in the evening). Be advised, if you are young and especially British, this is probably not the place for you, everyone else at the Hotel during our stay were either German or Polish and seemed to look down at us all of the time despite us keeping ourselves to ourselves, which created a really tense, awkward atmosphere. The final nail in the coffin came on our second to last day where we discovered that the controls for our air-con had been taken away due to the hotel having a policy of only allowing it between the months of May-October despite it still being 30°c on the day they turned it off. In summary, not a 4-star experience at all, the place is generally clean and the pool is nice but that's about all there is good to say.

lovely hotel food was nice location was good staff id say brilliant polite and helpful cleaning staff especially outstanding our room was brilliant and cleaned every day fresh linen and towels pool was clean ed every morning manager of hotel was a bit quiet but he has big job to up keep but was polite when we spoke to him and very helpful will return

Top hotel not the newist but sertanly not old they keep the hotel on the latest faschion and keep investing in it. All inclusive was super every day something new and a lot of variation for everybodies tast. Friendly personel Nice place too go site seeing and go around with the public bus

Absolutely terrible, upon arriving at the hotel , the staff behind the desk was terribly rude and unprofessional. The food was awful , tasteless , and often gross. I was asking for my aircon too be turned on and the lady explained that I had to pay. I said okay let’s do that as I was suffering with the heat in the room. The woman then said ( im finishing now ) a aggressive 5,8 fat man with grey hair , ended up stating (there is nothing we can do ) although stated we could of paid by prior staff. The man was aggressive towards myself and my fiancé. This is the poorest stay I have ever had, and if your looking for a hotel with uncomfortable beds, staff who are AGGRESSIVE AND RUDE. This is the place for you.

Overall, the actual building was great. It was exceptionally clean (new towels every day and the bedding changed regularly changed), the pool was nice and the restaurant layout was good. However, the actual atmosphere of the hotel was very poor. Firstly, There was no atmosphere - there was no entertainment at all apart from one Greek night. There was one member of staff behind the bar in the day and one at night, both obviously ran off their feet which made them unpleasant and grumpy. The day time bar man who worked at the ‘Pool Bar’ told us that we needed to be dry before ordering a drink and told us to bring our cups back. He never smiled. The restaurant staff were lovely, particularly the restaurant manager. He always made effort to talk. But the food was not good. We lived off pizza and wedges. We ate our most nights although we paid for all inclusive because the standard of food was rubbish. There was no snack bar and also ice cream was only available to children and not adults. When we first checked in, the air conditioning was poor and the toilet wouldn’t flush. we had the re-pack and swap rooms. When we had swapped rooms the air conditioning was still poor and we had to hold the shower above our heads as the bracket was loose. Overall, wouldn’t recommend this hotel. In my opinion, it most definitely isn’t a 4 star.

The hotel was nice and clean but there was no atmosphere around the pool in the day it needed music The pool Bar had music and Yanis was very friendly . The ladies on reception were friendly and helpful. There was no evening entertainment which was quite boring so we headed out most nights The restaurant was good with a wide selection of foods from the buffet .The service we recieved was outstanding from our waitress Sarah always a welcoming friendly smile and nothing was too much trouble she made time for all the guests. We did not like the man at the desk as you went in the restaurant he was very rude and abrupt he had no customer service qaulity at all, we called him the Sargent major even by the way he treated the staff .They all worked very hard It was only a short walk into Kolimbia Street and to the beach. We went to Symi Island which is a must visit absolutely stunning . All in all a relaxed holiday .
