The hotel needs updating. Air conditioning unit leaked water. Fridge defrosted and left a puddle on the floor. Reception thought we was stay for two more days and had not paid in advance.

This property has no parking. Difficult to access the front desk to check in. The beds were hard as rocks. The AC was barely functional. I would NOT stay here again.

Great location, you’re right on the strip yet our room was very well sound proofed so could not hear the all night partying if we went to bed! Small patio was nice. Towels had holes, double bed more like a small half double and very very hard!! Bathroom had black mould, hair and broken tiles but we treated as part of the experience. Had to ask for clean towels. Loved the pool bar.

Nice hotel with a lovely bar terrace
Lovely holiday for adults but not really suitable for children as not much to do but we were happy there as a couple. Rooms certainly need a make over and doors look old and neglected but very clean and fresh towels and bedding each day. Air conditioning could do with re gassing! Hotel staff were friendly enough when spoken too. Kalamaki a bit dull in day but comes alive at night. We would return

Good quality for the price
Its a very simple hotel, but it has everything you need, shower is big and has a curtain, balcony is huge, room has a kitchenette. Bar downstairs is very convinient, good cheap cocktails and decent breakfast, location is very central with lots of places to eat and little shops. There is no room service every single day and sometimes it gets a bit dirty in the room

The staff were friendly and helpful. Pool was clean and I swam in it everyday. Maid service was very good and our room was cleaned more regularly than advertised. It exceeded my expectations of a 2 star accommodation. I would stay again if I was ever in Kalamaki

Friendly hotel in great location.
Stayed at the Vanessa Hotel for 1 week. Hotel staff were very friendly, good customer service. Rooms cleaned, towels changed etc every 2 days. I stayed in Room 27 on the ground floor which was a very spacious 1 bedroom apartment with all facilities you would need. The balcony didn't really get any sun but this wasn't a problem as it was so hot, so good to sit in the shade at times.

Nice hotel central location
Excellent hotel friendly staff. Good facilities including wifi room safe and air con all included in price. Nice pool with lots of sunbeds.Bar served lovely breakfasts and snacks which were the envy of the strip. The girls were very efficient and nothing was any trouble. Our room request was met and had a lovely sunny balcony in the afternoon/evening. 10 mins from beach with large supermarket opposite. Restaurants are wide and varied with many to choose from tho our favourite was the one next door called Yamas. Highly recommend this hotel we are planning to go back.

Nice hotel, lovely staff, close to everything!
The room was clean, maid came in every other day however the bathroom smelt quite damp and the pots/ knifes and forks were dirty-however this is easily fixable. Food was delicious in the hotel, big portions excellent cheap prices! 10-15 minute walk to kalamaki beach, 5-10 minute taxi to laganas beach and there was plenty f supermarkets/resturants/bars and gift shops. Safe, quiet, family hotel which was ideal for us as we had easy access to laganas night life but knew our hotel room was safe and somewhere we could get sleep!
