Ionian Star is located in an incredible area, making it a great base for exploring the city. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always willing to help, which we really appreciated.
Unfortunately, the hotel itself did not meet our expectations for a 4-star property. The facilities are quite outdated and could benefit from significant renovations.
Additionally, for two of the four days we stayed, there was a very unpleasant odor in the hotel room, although we were never able to determine where it was coming from.
Soundproofing was also a major issue. We could clearly hear conversations from the room next to us and across the hall. There appears to be a window or vent in the bathroom that somehow connects to the neighboring room, allowing noise to travel easily. It made privacy and getting a good night’s sleep difficult.
Overall, the location and wonderful staff were definite highlights, especially front desk and housekeeping! Super kind people!…. but the condition of the hotel and the lack of sound insulation made the stay disappointing for what is advertised as a 4-star hotel.
