Ágios Matthaíos accommodation from NZ$161

Location is amazing. Staff was excellent. Very walkable

During my stay, I was jolted awake in the middle of the night by staff who simply unlocked my door and walked in without warning. This was not an isolated incident. It happened at least twice: once at 2am, and again at 8am just as I had finally managed to fall back asleep. The fact that a guest's room can be entered without consent — not once but repeatedly — represents a serious failure of basic security protocol. What made the experience worse was the response when I raised the matter at the front desk. The staff member on duty acknowledged that the 8am intrusion was his doing. And yet not a single word of apology was offered. No acknowledgment of the distress caused, no recognition that a sleeping guest's room had been entered without permission in the early hours of the morning, twice. To compound the indifference further, while I was standing there reporting these security breaches, the phone rang — and he answered it. Mid-conversation. As though what I was describing was not worth his full attention. Mistakes happen in hospitality. What is far harder to excuse is the complete absence of accountability when they do. A simple apology costs nothing and goes a long way. Its absence here said everything. In more than a thousand hotel stays across the world, this stands alone as the worst experience I have had.

No airport shuttle. Staff helpful
