Pros +
- Everything above
- We liked everything. The room is spacious, very clean, the staff (especially the cleaning staff) is lovely & they do a great job. The reception staff is great as well, would always reserve sunbeds for us and allowed us to check out later as we had the flight in the evening. The beds are so comfortable and it's great that they have window blinds. The garden is lovely.
- The apartment was very spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the inner courtyard. The property was located directly across from the beach and within easy walking distance to fantastic restaurants. The proximity to amazing hiking trails was great. The town had a short power outage and the owner provided candles to light our way, which was a nice gesture.
Cons -
- Remote parking
- It would be great if the windows would have mosquito nets, we couldn't leave the doors/windows open because of this.
- This is just a minor detail, but the shower doors didn’t completely seal, so the bathroom floor got wet.

Cute spot across street from beach. Had pretty much everything you needed for reasonable price.
Shower was really small and leaked like crazy
Mike, who greeted us at reception and throughout our stay, was friendly and helpful. The accommodations are simple but practical, and the beds are very comfortable. It’s a great location to catch the ferry to any of the other towns along the coast.
Location was great, it was clean, presented well
Bathroom - shower was ridiculously small, no pegs for the clothesline, would’ve been nice to have a couple of tea bags provided and some milk, air conditioner was old and very noisy,
Rooms are nice and clean.
The sea is dirty with sewage water on some days so it‘s not really worth staying in this town until they find a way to eliminate all the buildings that pump waste water into the sea. (They will say that the pollution comes from elsewhere but this is not true - half of the town pumps sewage water directly into the sea so it stinks, is oily and has particles in water. not safe to swim. No more tourism should be allowed here until this huge problem is solved.)
locationfriendly staffgood equipt apartment
super clean, nice rooms, nice showers. (actually it would be nice to have an option to skip cleaning on some days.)
they ask hotel guests 10 eur to use their sunbeds and umbrellas.the beach and the sea are nice but some days hotels and bars which are not connected to the sewage network pump in their sewage water into the sea - then it‘s dirty (pieces of toilet paper, oil, etc.) for a day. this is the biggest problem with sougia and it is sad that they do not take it seriously.
Breakfast not included. Beachfront location!
AC cooled space slowly.
It was clean, inviting and roomy
neighborhood/village, beach, restaurants, close to Samaria Gorge, staff, coziness
It’s great location on the sea front with their beach bar just opposite. Generous sized balcony in our room with sea views. A room next to reception to leave our cases for the day that we left as we were on a late ferry out.
Basic kitchen with limited crockery and cutlery.
This was our first time staying in Sougia having only visited for the day previously. We found it very relaxing with several tavernas to chose from, tried a different one each night and all were good. We had a large studio with an also very large balconey overlooking the sea an ideal location.
nothing to dislike
Location and friendly staff
Well worn. Older facility in need of a facelift.
Fantastic location on the sea front (though nowhere is far from the sea in Sougia). Large comfortable room with very comfortable bed and air-conditioning. Lovely balcony. Powerful, but small shower - don't drop the soap. Somethings in need of a bit of TLC - 2 out of 3 drawers in wardrobe wouldn't open, for example but nothing that spoiled a lovely stay.
The size of the shower is the only thing really. Great room, comfy bed, air-con and 3 mins to the beach. What else do you need?
Great location and super friendly owner and family. Highly recommend plus the family restaurant doen the street called Tzitziki!We will be back!
We have stayed here multiple times and always had a great experience. Managment is always there to help. Rooms are spotless clean and well equiped. You are right on the beach. Make sure you have breakfast at the cafe.
Right across from the beach. We could see the water from our balcony which had a table and chairs plus an umbrella for the sun
A perfect location right on the beach. The room was spotless and cool. Service was very friendly and efficient. I stayed a couple of nights and would have stayed longer but the hotel closes for winter.
