Rent, fräscht och bra service nära flygplatsen

Bra service, fräscht och perfekt läge för oss eftersom det var nära flygplatsen och vi bara skulle övernatta innan resa vidare ut till Lefkada nästa dag. Lagom bensträckare/promenad på 5 minuter från flygplatsen. Lagom stort quadruple.rum för 2 vuxna och 2 barn. Trist men ok frukost.

Essence Contemporary Hotel- Ioannina Aris-Athens

Η διαμονή ήταν πολύ καλή και η περιοχή ήταν βολική για το κέντρο των Ιωαννίνων. Οι άνθρωποι ήταν πολύ φιλόξενοι και το ξενοδοχείο σε άριστη κατάσταση καί με προοπτικές αλλά θέλει κάποιες βελτιώσεις στο service (π.χ. Καθήσαμε 5 βραδιά και δεν αλλάξανε σεντόνια, ούτε το δωμάτιο φαινόταν σφουγγαρισμενο)
