    Breakfast was very good and greatly exceeded our expectations. Staff went out of their way to prepare food to our liking! View was stupendous and being able to hear the waves was a plus!!!

    This is a 2-star hotel with some appealing features. Very good for a few days’ stay. The room and bathroom are small but adequate. The small balcony overlooking the water and mountains is a real bonus. There is a large, very comfortably furnished terrace outside the front of the hotel with the same view. 3 minutes walk from the downtown restaurants make the location quiet in the evening. 7 minutes walk to the sandy beach on the west side of town. Breakfast is good and makes for excellent value overall.

    The manager was very helpful. She allowed us to leave a big suitcase in storage for 6 days while we stayed on Gavdos, the island south of Crete.

    The room was bit too small.

    9WaynePosted on: 10-13-2024

    A superb location as it was a 3 minute walk to a small beach which had the cleanest water I’ve ever experienced in my global travels. A 5 minute walk the other direction and you are in the middle of a multitude of dining options. Our room had full sea view. The complimentary breakfast was the best computed breakfast we had=ve experienced in 20 hotel stays in Greece. Front desk staff were very helpful

    Excellent location on the harbour road adjacent to the sea. 2 good beaches and many eating places within walking distance. Room was very clean and ideal for a short stay. Good wi-fi and fridge. Good breakfast.

    Staff were available but did not seem very friendly or welcoming, but they provided a good service

    10StevePosted on: 10-1-2024

    We stayed on the top floor in a wonderful three-room suite with a kitchenette that included a washing machine, dishwasher, and even a capsule coffee machine. The suite was very cozy, with a lovely balcony offering a fantastic view of the sea. Each room had air conditioning, which was very effective and quiet. The breakfast was excellent, with something new every day. The staff was beyond praise, very welcoming and friendly.

    It would have been good to improve the ventilation in the bathroom, as there was a smell of pipes and it was very humid. We really missed having a glass partition separating the bathtub from the rest of the bathroom. Every time we took a shower, the entire floor was covered with water.

    Great location with a beautiful view. The staff is nice and friendly. Convenient parking and a good breakfast. Highly recommended.

    10MariaPosted on: 7-30-2024

    Such friendly and helpful staff!! The location is perfect,very close to everything and we always parked the car near the hotel.Tasty breakfast in a very clean and cosy place, indoors or outdoors. The view of the sea is simply great and the sunrise is awesome!!!

    Nothing to worry us.

    8Girasole12Posted on: 7-12-2024

    The location is ideal, just in front on the sea and close to the restaurants & city center, but far enough from the noise of the town.The two ladies at the reception (in the morning & the evening) were very nice & welcoming.

    Breakfast can be improved & it would have been nice to have Cretan specialties.The pastries were not very good.

    10BorjaPosted on: 6-26-2024

    Location is great. Superb breakfast with lots of different options. Very helpful staff! Highly recommended

    10BarkworthPosted on: 6-20-2024
