NOISEY dirty and parties of 20/30 teenagers havent got a clue where all the good reviews come from all i can say if they find this a good hotel they must have stayed in some right dives DONT DONT even think about staying here YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Even the desk staff agree BUT you cant get to see the managment.

The Kriti is an excellent hotel. It really does look freshly renovated. I lead an archaeological study tour there in early January, and everybody liked the place. I don't know where the other reviewers were; it does not sound like the same hotel. There were no problems with the rooms, thin walls, traffic noise, or anything else (though if you happen to coincide with a bunch of obnoxious travellers that would indeed be a problem). Future travellers should not be put off by those negative reviews. Stay at the Kriti!

I generaly agree with the previous review exept that we found the Kriti to be clean and welcoming. The bathrooms are small and the showers are certainly a unique experince for a 6 foot male.

Some of the decor is looking a little tatty and the maintenence guy seems to be loosing the battle.
The facilities are limited, especially the bar and bar menu but the staff are friendly, helpful and speak good English.

The noise from the traffic and kids outside though is horrendous. Unsilenced motor bikes, revving cars, squealing tyres and car radios until three in the morning ruined an other wise pleasant holiday

Date of travel - October 2004
Number of nights - 3

Upon arrival, we thought it was a really nice hotel when we saw the lobby. But the minute we walk into our first room, our opinions changed. Small (especially the bathroom), dark and dingy. In addition, there were urine stains on the toilet seat. Of course we changed rooms. Same thing, except for the urine stain.

Surrounding area did not look very pleasant at all. Graffiti on the walls of buildings.

The worst part about this hotel is that the walls on very thin. You hear all the noise from inside and outside the hotel. The hotel is near (2 city blocks) a strip of cafes that is frequented by teenagers and young adults during the evening. We spent 3 nights being up until 3am because that's basically when all the kids went home. It was so much that the kids were screaming and yelling, but that they would rev their motorcycles or cars very loudly. I had to turn on the tv and leave it on just so I could try and fall asleep.
