Coliseum Studios & Apartments

When you stay at Coliseum, it's like finding a gem that you thought was lost many decades ago. The charismatic Paul together with his thoroughly able crew of Diane and Rob guide you through a perfect stay at a haven of Pefkos, the like of which got lost and buried under the storm of the Internet, smartphones, laptops, political correctness, wokery, tour groups, soulless hotels, cafés and restaurants, tour groups, QR codes and impatience. The guests, the vast pool, the architecture, the vibe, the location and the general chilled atmosphere will possibly shock. It's all here. The staff do not try to sugarcoat; if you're rude or you've got that superior attitude don't be surprised at the response. It's not a corporate chain with HQ in Zurich or Oslo. In the same way that certain people should be told "If you don't like abortion, don't have one" or "If this book offends you, don't read it" I would put up a sign at Coliseum "If you don't like it here, or dont like us, piss off!". It's all good here. Lovely studios and apartments with all that is needed; food prepared from scratch, excellent music at the pool, guests talking to each other (!!), lots of trees, and of course Paul, the star of the show who will do everything possible to help out, advise, smile, chat and make us glad that this polished gem is here. If you think it's unreasonable to not bring your own food and drink to the pool, you better go elsewhere. Enjoy. Thank you Paul, Diane, Rob. Long may Coliseum reign. ＜3

This was our 2nd stay so already knew it was basic so I’ll begin with the positives. Location is bang on, very central. The pool is lovely, plenty of beds. We stayed in a studio, very spacious, lots of wardrobe space and loads of coat hangers! Nice balcony but being on the ground floor we were bothered by the cats. Now the negative. Uncomfortable beds, and the cleaner only came once to change the towels and bedding. The food at the pool bar isn’t great and the drinks prices aren’t cheap. After paying during check in for the air con, room tax and safe, on day 5 the air con was switched off. When we went to sort it the owner was very stroppy with us, saying we hadn’t paid! We assured him we had, quoting exactly how much we paid. The next morning we went to have a word with Diane who checked us in and she also insisted we hadn’t payed, saying she hadn’t written it in the book so we can’t have, i even went over the conversation we had when she said we probably wouldn’t need it, but she wouldn’t have it, saying she couldn’t imagine why she wouldn’t put it in the book? We were maid to feel like liars but we stood our ground. In future I suggest they start giving out receipts like most places do! It certainly soured our holiday

Stayed at coliseum in August the hotel location is good the rooms are basic but practical the staff and owner are polite and knowledgeable and it's very close to St Thomas's Beach which is the best beach. Only thing that would make it better would to have increased room cleaning, in my experience of the travel industry most people would pay a little bit more in the holiday price to cover this.

Very friendly service and nice english breakfast

would 1000% be returning to the coliseum next year. the owner Paul is lovely and the pool is so nice. we stayed in room no.9 (ground floor) and we had a joint balcony with our neighbours who were lovely. the balcony looked out to the pool and was beautiful. the workers were lush and were so kind and welcoming. for a family of 3 a two bedroom apartment was perfect. 100% recommend booking as you will have a lovely time.

Just got back today and what a great holiday. The hotel and pool is awesome and the staff are very helpful. Paul the owner was a laugh and gave good advice of where to go I.e beach and best way to go. It was our first trip to Greece and have just booked to go back it was that good. The room was clean and the balcony is huge with a sea view. We met loads of couples and families who all said the same. If you read some bad reviews you will worry but don't Paul and his team will look after you. I broke my key on first day in the electric but I told Paul and he sorted it in 5 minutes. He said we're here to make the holiday easy for you guys. So thankyou for that and keep up the great work
