So here we were at the Nostos Studios, highly rated on TA with fanatical people returning year after year, we were taken to our room accessed from the back and we were on the top floor, Mrs Db usually requests upstairs.
The room was nice and clean, apart from our bags that we had just dumped lol
The room was a fairly small sized rooms but noticed the hotel had about 4 bigger rooms in the two blocks but as we booked the last room we were never going to be allocated one of those and they were extra in the Thomson brochure
We were self catering which to us means making breakfast and eating out but the first thing Mrs Db noticed was that there was no table or chairs in the room and all cooking and preparation would have to be done off the kitchen drainer
The cupboard under the sink had a toaster and a kettle, all that was required for us to have a perfect holiday
Even a nice couple of cereal bowls, we always bring our own cups, as they tend to be too small but the studios were an ok size
The balcony faced west towards the mountains and the view looked stunning, however, too hot to sit out until the sun went down about 6:45pm but perfect looking over the mountains at breakfast time
I thought the view looked better than the sea view
The garden below was well kept and had a bar just to the left with tables and chairs laid out
Air condition was available at 6 euro's a day, for me worth it for a good night sleep without mozzies
a safe was available at 10 euro's a week and was about 9 x 6 x 6 inches so not sure whether you could fit ipads in
not a lot of cupboard space to fit a lot of clothes in but mrs Db managed
Our shoes were initally put up on the top shelf and our cases left in the room to extract various things but the cleaning lady put the shoes down below and moved our cases up on the top shelf but hey ho if it pleased her but getting the cases down and up wasn't ideal
The shower room area all seemed new and clean and we had a window in our room, next doors just had an extractor fan which came out above our balcony but no problem, the basin plug was a new fancy device perhaps the water wouldn't run away as in previous hotel rooms lol
The owner and his family were very friendly but although it didnt affect us, I thought this notice wasn't too welcoming
Toilet rolls weren't replaced once used until the second week, when another roll was provided ( we had a different lady that day) and we had to buy our own, they were 40c a roll and would have cost them an extra 1.20 euros to have made it a perfect place but this was just an annoyance to us
yes we would, if we had some lol but perhaps this is a Thassos thing but we weren't told
but we were going to enjoy this holiday, as Golden Beach was perfect for us
