We've just came back from a three-day stay in Elpida Hotel in Istros,Crete and I can only say I was disappointed almost by everything!Towels and sheets were never changed, the room wasn't vacuumed or even dusted ,the equipment was old and over used although some parts in the bathroom were partly renewed and the specific area was quite clean.Breakfast served... more

We have just arrived back from 1 week stay at elpida hotel, they were 9 of us in our group an we felt like aliens!.As most british we have a good sence of humour an enjoy making friends and having a good time, elpida was NOT the place for this!. Perfect place if you are slovakian or polish as the... more

We went to the Elpida for a week and just got home yesterday. First Impresions are that it looks pretty good set in the hill side, but there is the biggest hill you have ever seen that leads up to the hotel so its defonatly a no no for the disabled and elderley. The rooms are very basic, 2 beds,... more

just got back back from our stay in elpida we were a group of 8 and what i want to say is that if you havent book to go here yet then dont unless you speak fluent polish or slovakian and you havent got a sence of humour.we were the only british there until a couple come a few days... more

The Elpida is basic, but you do get what you pay for, I paid £1,600 for four adults for one week, if you take away the flights, it works out at £150 per person full board, you can't expect the Ritz for that sort of money. The rooms are basic but clean, the air con is essential and works well,... more

We booked to stay at Elpida for a weeks half board holiday for just over £400. Our week was a disappointment if it hadn't of been for the people we met or the local taverna's that we found. On the outside the hotel looks lovely and the views are spectacular. However, the food was terrible. Breakfast was repetative, cereal was... more

We stayed at this hotel beginning of August with some hesitation after reading the write ups by other people. I am pleased to say that we had a lovely time. Considering the low price we paid for this holiday the standard was good. As they say you get what you pay for. I feel you need to view the bedrooms... more

Just back from here and it was just about the worst 2 weeks holiday we have ever had. Over 90% polish people arrived and complained they could not eat Greek food so management were told to change menu. We then got veg, veg, veg, sometimes chicken, veg more veg and pork and more veg. Dessert consisted of different flavoured ice... more

All Inclusive Holiday We stayed here all inclusive for 2 weeks. It was ok but we have been to far better. Ok if you want a budget holiday and expect to have limited choices. We visited as a family of 4 with 2 small children and theywere quite happy with what was available. Many other guests had been there several... more
