Butterfly Studios, Faliraki

this is a basic hotel. staff are nice and friendly but the description of the place is just wrong . there is no bar , there is not a snack bar , they say air conditioning but dont mention its 9 euro a day. the bathroom is tiny , no shower curtain , the floor is not a wet room but dangerous slippery tiles . the pool area is ok, the location ok , its cheap but dont expect to much

I must agree with the points made by Mr 'thebates22'. Shower curtains and fancy showers are not usual in budget accommodation in Greece. Mike and Maria are lovely hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Despite the very limited cooking facilities we made scrambled eggs and omelettes from eggs given to us by Maria. Our room was cleaned every two days and we had clean towels and sheets then too. I don't change my bed linen every two days at home! This is a budget hotel in an excellent position for beaches and restaurants (provided you are happy with small, family run establishments serving traditional Greek food - if not, why are you in Greece?). We have stayed there several times, and will be going back next year.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Butterfly studio apartments for 14 nights in mid July / early August 2021 Before I go into the review I think I just need to clarify a few points that other people have complained about in other reviews of the Butterfly studios, which in my eyes are unfair and don’t reflect on the true nature of budget accommodation on the Greek Islands as a whole: 1 - Be under no illusion that this is budget accommodation / it’s clean, it’s comfortable, it’s dated, if you want 5 star luxury then this is not the place for you, if you want budget family run accommodation then this is the place for you so please read on. 2 - As with 99.9% of accommodation of this type across the Greek islands, the air conditioning (A/C) is not included in the holiday price and incurs an extra cost. We paid €70 in peak season for 14 nights of A/C which worked fine and was perfectly adequate for the size of the studio keeping it very cool. If you want free A/C then pay the big bucks at a 5 star all inclusive hotel, otherwise cough up at your accommodation and please don’t complain about it. 3 - We have stayed in accommodation of this type all over the Greek Islands, they don’t have shower curtains or a shower hook on the wall. They have a shower tray and the bathroom is treated like a wet room - I don’t know why they do it this way, they just don’t, so please accept this as the way it is and don’t complain about it. Again if you feel the need for a glass shower cubicle or shower curtain go to an expensive hotel. OK so let’s get to the review of the family run Butterfly Studio’s in Falaraki. The accommodation is in a really good location only a 300m / 3 minute walk away from the Closest beach with the closest supermarket being only 100m away. Central Falaraki is only a 10 minute pleasant walk away where the main *****, restaurants, bars snd souvenir shops can be found. It is also located easily for taxi pick and the main bus routes with the closest bus stop being only 100m away. In essence it’s close to everything but far enough away that you can get a good nights sleep without the boom boom boom of the music from the *****. There is also plenty of free road side parking close by if you decide to hire a car/quad or motorbike. Transfer time via a licenceed cab (recommend) from Rhodes airport is approx 15mins and costs approx €20 (£17 / $23:50 - traffic dependant). The bus is another option but can take over 1 hour snd costs in the region of €3 (£2:50 / $3:50) per person. Check in (13:00 onwards / check out 11:30) via the reception was quick, simple & informative. We arrived after dark and moved straight into our extremely roomy studio apartment with private pool view from our balcony with table 2 stairs and washing line. The bed (twin rooms only / no doubles - but the beds are easy to pull together) was very comfortable and the water in the bathroom / shower was hot, powerful and plentiful for the duration of our stay, with a hairdryer in
