Stamos Apartments

This is a great family run appartment set, with a reasonable sized pool, bar, tv for big games, ps3, pool tables, space for football and volleyball etc. Its also in a great position, just across from a convenience store and a 5-10 minute walk from club street and bar street, and round abouts the same for the beach.

What makes this one of the better places to stay is that everyone meets up here. All the PR's you see getting people in bars, they all come here to unwind. If they've been here a while then they know where to hang out during the day. You can also have a good time with some of the staff working there (watch out for jam hughes on his roller blades)

The rooms are good with plenty of space, wardrobes, basic kitchen (hob, no oven, some cutlery and dishes supplied).

This hotel is linked with the KGB bar on bar street. On certain days you can get a bbq at the hotel and then 2 hours free bar at KGB for 25 euro.

The bar serves a fair selection of food and is very convenient.

Bad points.

-Showers are awful, with no curtain or panels surrounding the unit. This means the entire floor gets soaked and takes ages to dry as theres no slant to drain the moisture away. How much does it seriously cost to adapt these. It'd save the cleaners extra time too.

-If you are on the ground floor, certain balconies will get soaked from the sprinklers at night, meaning don't leave anything like clothes hanging around when you go out.

-Bar service can be rubbish. One mate had to wait 1 full hour for fish and chips, and he also says the lasagne was the worst he'd ever had. Also, some stuff can be expensive. I paid 3 euro for an ice lolly for goodness sake.

-Front doors are slamming all the time when people have their balconies open. Surely there can be some mechanism to stop it closing at full speed.

-Sometimes the cleaners will miss something, like say some more loo roll, or maybe emptying the tissue bin (greeks dont flush their toilet paper because of sewer and drain pipe issues).

-Dont come here if you're a family. This is an 18-30 place and for some reason i seen the odd few young children around. Purely for noise at night reasons. This includes people knocking on random doors (in some cases walking straight in if it is unlocked). This is purely down to guests and not the hotel in general though.

-If you went through 18-30 with thomson, thomas cook then you will get a rep trying to convince you to pay 200 euro for a week with them. However, by doing this you get less drinks than you would if you bargained with people outside bars yourself and will find it hard to get served because there's too many people packing in the same place.

-This is a complaint with my tour operator (thomson). We had to leave the room by 12 noon on the last day, but wasnt getting a coach to the airport until 3am the next morning. Without a room its not as convenient to go in and out of your suitcase and thus you end up not doing too much for that day. Surely the operator could have arranged a later checkout as the newbies didnt arrive until the coach we were leaving on.

Me and my gf stayed at the Stamos Apartments at the start of June 2009, it was such a lovely hotel, we were in the new block and the rooms were really clean and modern. The staff are really nice and they are chatty too ... fun times =]. The nightlife is amazing, Liquid is a must go and the Foam party IS worth 5o Euros. We really enjoyed it, got 2 single beds (we were expecting sofa beds) so that was a pleasant suprise to start with. Lovely hotel, really worth it!

Near to club street which was great and far enough away from bar street to not have to worry about getting annoyed by people all the time trying to get you into pubs. Stamos apartments were great apart from apart from one of the staff. Had a great time and if ever went back to Faliraki would definitely stay there again everyone was really friendly and up for a laugh.

Family run appartments, nice atmosphere, nice family, rooms simple ans basic but clean. Only a short walk to the main tourist areas.

If you're between 18 and a young 50, no problems, owners wont put up with too much noise.

I would recommend bed club - foam party was amazing! The owner of the hotel also owned a bar called KGB which was good, and bedrock is also a nice place to go. There is a Maccy d's for those who have cravings!

The hotel is not far from the waterpark. 5 euros for a taxi there and the waterpark was wicked!

This hotel is full of older people, there are no parties and the bar close at 8pm. You must be in by that time or stay out all night! Faliraki is great but this hotel is not!

Please do not go to this hotel if u want a good holiday!

It was my first holiday away without the family. Went with 6 other friends - girls and guys - had a fantastic time!

We stayed in the Stamos Apartments in Faliraki. The resort and beach was lively and beautiful.. The people were really nice, just keep on the footpath tho - the drivers are crazy! Taxis were 5 euro anywhere u went really.. Never took a bus.. So many activities on the beach..

The Stamos apartments exceeded expectations - before arriving in Faliraki I had no idea what to expect as I couldn't find out much information about these apartments or the area they were in but they were brilliant! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the pool was always clean, our room slept 4 people and it was cleaned twice during a week (we didn't mind that).. there were many activities taking place and we managed to win the 5 a-side football tournament (3 girls 2 guys) oh YES! All in all a great place to get away with a group of friends - there were also a couple of families with small children at the apartments - they enjoyed it and didn't mind the noise - meet some wild people so you do!

Club Street opens at 12 and shuts at 6.. but most are open earlier! Theres such a variety of clubs - i highly recommend the foam party at bed club and for all those who love to dance the Matrix! The clubs are within 10 minute walking distance from Stamos Studios, as is the beach.. bar street is about a 15/20 minute walk but u pass all the clubs and restaurants on the way! Oh and there is a McDonalds for all those cravers! There's also a supermarket right across the road from the apartments - had plenty of supernoodles!

I would definitely go back! Hope this is of help, I would have loved a comment about this place before I set off! It really was fantastic though! Try the fishbowls, they're awesome!

Oh and plenty of sun cream - it was 46 degrees in the shade for the first 2 days we were there, then it went down to 36 in the shade! Lovely weather!

Have a great time if you're heading there!

On the whole, the hotel was what I expected to find for the price I paid for the location and the young boozy resort that is Faliraki. If like myself it's an 18-30 holiday, in which you intend to spend much of it out drinking, then it's perfect. It is in staggering distance from the bar street and club street and close enough to the beach.

The Stamos Apartments is such a great place, it's friendly and you will have so much fun. It is a party zone hotel where you can party all night long. The owners will do every thing in there power to make your holiday the best ever. One of the owners also owns a bar KGB bar and if you stay at the Stamos you will win loads of things in his bar.
