Semiramis Guesthouse

We stayed at Semiramis from 15 to 28 August 2024. 2 adults and 2 children. Two adjacent rooms, on the first floor. Our rooms both had an internal balcony, I saw that some rooms instead had a balcony in a common area (with a reserved space dedicated to the room). Clean rooms, towels and sheets changed every 2 days. The children's room was larger than ours, but their bathroom was actually a bit small. Breakfast is served in the garden, the lady who takes care of breakfast (Dionisis's mother) is always very kind and thoughtful. Breakfast is plentiful. The only flaw is perhaps monotonous...every day is always the same. I saw that many guests stayed a maximum of 5/6 days, but we stayed much longer...perhaps a change in flavors every now and then would have been nice. Dionisis and his colleague at reception are always very kind in everything. They always advised us on where to go and how to get there (depending on the wind present.. especially when it blows from the North - Meltemi - the beaches to the North are impracticable) and also on the various restaurants. And then, Semiramis Guest House is a stone's throw from the port of Adamas. Strategic and very convenient location. Market just ahead on the street, Pharmacy, various shops, restaurants... a real convenience! Thanks to Dionisis and all his family 🫶

We stayed at this 1-star guesthouse for 7 nights. The cost does not match the service. We were given a room on the 1st floor, no. 10 to be precise. I am writing this because, evidently, reading other reviews and seeing some photos, there must be more comfortable rooms, perhaps those on the ground floor. Certainly not ours. The room was small, rather vintage, with a tiny and equally old bathroom. Tiny means that there is no room for two people. The linen was not changed regularly: twice in 6 days. For wet swimsuits, there was only a half-hidden line in the common terrace (I discovered it towards the end of the stay. I made do by hanging swimsuits and towels on the umbrella line). Breakfast is plentiful, but very repetitive in the sense that it is always the same every day and cannot be changed in any way. I asked if we could have some fruit, even in place of other products that we do not consume, and I was told to stick to the menu. It consists of: coffee, milk (actually in a small jug they serve you a kind of coffee cream), packaged croissant, 1 or 2 pieces of two-tone cake, which I did not understand if industrial or homemade, jams, butter and Nutella, egg to be boiled, or fried or omelette, bread, glass of orange juice and water. Positive aspects: definitely the location, in an alley very close to the center and 5 minutes from the ferry dock, the always very thorough cleaning and the kindness of the ladies who serve breakfast, in particular one who always prepared Greek coffee for my husband. Definitely not satisfactory value for money.
