Pros +
- Wonderful Breakfast. Very helpful staff and the views from our balcony were great. Room was very nice and comfortable. We slept well.
- Hotel was very well located, staff was super friendly and helpful, suggesting places for dinner and tours. Breakfast was great as well. Room was old but clean, though ground floor rooms have limited space for air circulation, especially after shower.
- We were there in offseason, last week of the March. Room was comfortable, liked that balcony had the the clothes drying rack. Bed and matress were comfortable. Buffet breakfast for offseason rich enough. Staff helped with advices for restaurants, sightseeing, even some advices what else we can see on our way to the next destination.
Cons -
- We were on the top floor. The property does not have an elevator so we had to carry everything up several flights of stairs.
- Even though we liked our stay at the hotel, please note that the hotel is not like the first images suggest, which are renders (probably for a future or ongoing renovation). Equipment in general, especially in the bathroom, was fairly old. But it's still a good base to explore the area if you don't plan to spend your day at the hotel.
- Bathroom/shower was a bit outdated. Airconditioner didn't want to cooperate withva remote control.

Very warm welcome and helpful staff. Very comfy bed- with a topper. Big room.Super value for money.Nice breakfast and staff took pride in explaining what was home cooked.Asked for a parking spot and they made a special effort to keep one free for us.
I don’t like shower curtains, they stick to you as you shower.
Beautiful property! I had chosen to stay at the roof top room, which is different from all the rest of the rooms at this hotel, because you have all the roof top floor to yourself with he most beautiful terrace I have been to. The view is amazing, and you have all the amenities to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, with great variety and a beautiful setting. Most of all - thanks to the amazing staff for being super nice and helpful!
The property does not have an elevator, which might be a problem for some people, but not at all for us. The very nice gentleman from the reception helped us bringing the luggage to the room, and greeted us with a homemade sweets at arrival.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast excellent. Very near beach and restaurants.
Would recommend upgrading fridge in room
The hotel itself is wonderful and perfectly located, near to the beach and to the old town. Kate and her staff made us feel extremely welcome and helped us in every way. No need for a tourist guide, just ask Kate for excursion recommendations and you will have a great time!
Breakfast very good. Location was difficult for us in terms of the steep hills. However, Kate, the manager very kindly gave us lifts to and from the beach and village. So helpful and appreciated.
The manager was super nice, the bed was really comfortable, the breakfast was complete, and the location is good, 5 min walk to the village. We had also a balcony which was handy for drying clothes.
The bathroom is small as well as the shower. It also looks old.
Kate, the owner is a very kind and nice lady, who helped us a lot during our stay in Agia Galini.
The hotel is simple and comfortable, with a very good breakfast.
We got to stay on the pent house suite, with our own private terazze. The view was amazing panorama from the mountains to the sea. Staff was so sweet, felt like they really care about their customers. Got good recommendations for restaurants and got also our loundry done really fast.
They do not have their own pool, but it is only short walk from the beach.
The owner prepared a small surprise (cake and wine) because it was my birthday and this made the experience fantastic. I can only but recommend the hotel. The breakfast is fantástic and has several options.
Hospitality! Kate the manager was a smiling face ready to answer any question and lend a helping hand. We needed beach towels, directions, recommendations, early check out, and strangely gas for our car and there she was with a do not stress let me help you every time. I can’t say thank you enough for her genuine care.
The shower was very tiny and the shower curtain would stick to me and invaded my personal space.
Extremely comfortable beds, very clean and quiet.The breakfast buffet was very good and the staff were super friendly!
balcony, soft beds, breakfast
Lovely clean hotel. Bright, welcoming staff, excellent breakfast and parking facilities. Super comfy bed. Great base to visit local attractions.
A small kettle and two mugs in the room to make tea/ coffee please would make it perfect ?
The staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. They always had a smile on. We had a breakfast with a lot of home-made food, which was delicious. For us, the best stay on Crete so far.
Very comfortable, first rate breakfast and a most helpful and friendly manager.
