Our two days and nights at Agia Anna Paraga Studios were sadly disappointing. While reviews on the families friendliness and desire to please are correct, my wife and I had too many disappointments to provide a positive review. Disappointments included: Failure to reply to our messages and phone call about not needing a 30 Euro ride, checking into a room without power, having a defrosted refrigerator and very hot room, a safe that did not work, no microwave, stove or oven (but called a "studio apartment"), old appliances and no dish soap, old scratchy linens and stains on the bedspread and furniture, a promise of an extra pillow never delivered on, a HUGE cockroach in the bathroom in the middle of the night, very noisy during the weekend due to proximity to two super clubs, locking the door requires a key on the inside and outside (not safe or convenient), no English channels on the TV service. The facility is old and shows its age.
For those booking through AirBNB, Agia Anna Paraga Studios is NOT a home or condo rental. There are approximately 20 rooms. It's a small hotel run by a family and they do seem to genuinely care. They are hard workers, so it begrudges me to leave a bad review. For Americans, the Agia Anna property would not compare to an old Motel 6 for quality or cleanliness. We were plainly over-promised by the advertisement. At 270 Euro per night, I very much regret staying there. I'd rather have stayed at our 5-star boutique hotel for 80 Euro more per night. Friendliness aside, the experience was plain bad.
