Nikos Studios
(Apartments in Lassi)
 | 8/10 |
6th-13th July 2008 Nikos Apartments Nikos is at the top of the hill, but this means it is quiet and has good views. It took 8 mins to walk down to the main resort road and 10-12 mins back up, which helped settle the stomach after a large meal or lots of drink.
I thought the room was of good quality by Greek standards. Clean, double bed, small dining table and chairs, well stocked out kitchen, including a kettle (very rare), sandwich toaster, fridge freezer, cutlery etc. Shower even had a shower tray, and the sink had a plug. Balcony had fantastic views over the resort, although our room (no 6) shared the balcony with the room next door. Aircon was chargable at 5 euros a day Pool was nice, plenty of sunbeds and brolleys, again with fantastic views, with sunshine all around the pool all day. No pool bar which is nice not to have any irritating music, but it was handy to have the pool bar over the road at The Oliver Garden which served a range of snacks, which took only 1minute to walk to. Room was cleaned twice a week with sheets and towels changed once a week.
On the last day, they had a FREE courtesy room til
Overall I was very impressed and I've been to

| . have just returned from nikos studios and due to a late booking was given room 13 which has received less than complimentary comments. ok it was small -but i would stay in that room again. it was as descibed in the brochure- small- clean and simple. the views at the hotel more than make up for any inadequacies. we have stayed in many kosmar hotels in various places in the past. you get what is decsribed but you do need a good sense of humour and organisation. the walk is taxing but is better than a gym subscription - taxis are plentiful. the island and surrounding islands are stunning. the people are friendly and the food is beautiful,paticularly the Phaedra in Lassi and the best in Argostoli is The Captains Table. Argostoli is lovely to spend an evening. it is just a walk down the other side of the hill and a taxi back. whoever goes- enjoy | |

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Nikos Studios. Probably the best room we have ever had on any of our Greek Island holidays. Fantastic views over the bay and it was a good sized room too!! Still wish the Greeks could provide a comfortable pillow, but not really a problem. Pool was excellant and plenty of sun beds. No stupid towel merchants trying to reserve the best, as they where all good and the rooms where kept clean and tidy by the friendly staff. Good bar across the way at the Olive Garden and Nico's cool beer was a life saver after the climb up the dreaded hill.
Just one note of warning. Rooms 13 and 14 in the old block are small, airless, damp and awfull. Our friends stayed in one and their clothes had mould growing on them after 2 weeks!! The Kosmar rep was more than useless in helping them to try to move to better accomodation. If you do get one of these 'cells' Complain like hell. They are not worth the money Kosmar charge, but you will be given free air conditioning to keep you quiet.. | ||||||||||

i went to Nikos Studios July 2005 and i had sucha great time, i honestly loved it there. the place was lovely, the views were outstanding, the weather was absolutely gorgeous and the people were all very friendly and helpful. i think the bad thing about that holiday was thta i wish i hadnt have taken my girlfriend (at that time), as she spoilt what was such a great time away. the location was a great spot - i mean i was able to keep myself fit by walking to the shops without doing something that was un-doable. the pool there was lurvely. it was cleaned every night (and i know this coz i watched them - not on purpose). all in all i have not got a single bad thing to say about this place it was a trully fantastic time and want to come and visit again. oh yer and Nikos you are the man - cheers dude! | ||||||||||

The best thing about these studios is the view! Absolutely breath-taking. I could easily have spent the whole week on the balcony, in the glorious sun, drinking a cold Mythos looking | ||||||||||

Just returned from a week here. Very nice apartments, clean and well looked after (although it was at the end of our week we discovered there is an old block and a new block, we were in the old block, and the new block is even nicer, if you are able to specify when booking I;m not sure.). Downside is its at the top of a very steep hill, and with whining children on a hot day the trek is not much fun.Hiring a car makes this far more pleasant! Other problem was on checkout day, moved out of room at 11am, shared courtesy room until 5pm which was great, then there was nowhere to use the toilet until our taxi pickup at 9pm. Had to ask another guest if we could use their toilet, which was quite awkward, as there is nowhere you can use, without a long walk down in to the village.
Apart from that it was lovely, nice clean pool which seemed to be cleaned daily, and clean towels and rooms cleaned every other day. | ||||||||||

| Just arrived back from a week at the Nikos apartments. They were clean and well looked after and with great views over the bay. The pool was great, if rather cold at this time of year! Our only complaint was that the bins were not emptied often enough. Other than that great. It is at the top of a steep hill so don't go if you can't climb steep hills | ||||||||||

| WE STAYED AT THE NIKOS STUDIOS BETWEEN 26 SEPT TO 3 OCT 04 THE SCENERY WAS FANTASTIC, SO THERES A STEEP HILL, WHEN THE VIEWS FROM YOUR APPARTMENT ARE THIS GOOD WHO CARES.LASSI WAS QUIETER THAN WHAT WERE USED TO BUT IT HAD PLENTY OF RESTAURANTS. TRY AVOID OSKARS IF YOU WANT TO PAY OVER THE TOP PRICES FOR YOUR MEAL FOR AVERAGE FOOD YOU CAN GET ELSE WHERE.I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THIS ISLAND FOR A WEEKS STAY AS THERE IS NOT ALOT TO DO , THE CAVES AND LAKE ARE SUPERB AND SO IS SAINT GEORGES CASTLE , ALSO RECOMMEND THE WINERY FOR WINE TASTING BUT ALL THESE CAN BE EXPLORED IN A DAY WITH CAR HIRE.THE TWO BEACHES IN LASSI ARE THE BEST YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE IN GREECE ,OVERALLL WE HAD A GREAT TIME A GIVE KEFALONIA A BIG THUMBS UP. | ||||||||||

| We stayed at the Nikos Studios in July this year and we thought it was excellent. Air-cons have been added to all rooms over the winter and was a welcome surprise as it wasn't advertised in the brochure. The owner called every evening so if you had any problems you could let her know. We stayed in the newer of the two blocks and will hopefully be revisiting next year. | ||||||||||
