Lovely hotel!

It’s such a nice hotel, George is really accomodating. The cleaning lady (i didn’t get her name sadly) is so sweet and good at her job. We stayed for free on the day we were leaving ‘till 6:30 in the evening. George arranged transfer to and from the airport so we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely stay here again!

Super séjour

SĂ©jour de 7 jours en octobre. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© ravie. Petites attentions rĂ©guliĂšre. Serviettes de bains et de plage fournies. Petits biscuits, briques de jus d’orange, bouteilles d’eau et fruits Ă  l’arrivĂ©e. AmabilitĂ© et discrĂ©tion Georges est adorable et fait tout pour que votre sĂ©jour se passe au mieux Nous avions Ă©tĂ© surpris qu’ils nous fassent mĂȘme notre vaisselles. La plage est Ă  environ 50 mĂštres et l’arrĂȘt de bus pour Chania en face de l’hĂŽtel. Le petit bĂ©mol est que les transats sont payants. Nous recommandons, allez y les yeux fermĂ©s..

Fantastisk oplevelse !

Helt fantastisk og gÊstfri hotelejer ! Jeg kan pÄ det varmeste anbefale dette hotel, til alle der Þnsker at bo i omrÄdet omkring Chania/Agia Marina. Hyggeligt lille hotel, i rolige omgivelser, nÊr stranden. Ved ankomst stod der en lille kurv med Êbler, samt en kage, og ogsÄ juice og vand i kÞleskabet. PÄ dagen for udtjekning, fik jeg lov til at blive pÄ vÊrelset til kl 18:00 i stedet for kl 12:00 uden ekstra beregning. Helt fantastisk gÊstfrihed ! Jeg kommer helt sikkert tilbage en dag !!

SvĂŠrt fornĂžyd

Booked et rom pÄ Despina studios da vi mÄtte sjekke ut kl. 12 pÄ hotellet vi opprinnelig bodde pÄ og skulle reise sent pÄ kvelden. Ville ha et sted Ä vÊre resten av dagen. Vi ble mÞtt av hotellets leder George som tok oss varmt i mot. Rommet var kjempe fint og rent. Skulle Þnske vi hadde bodd der hele ferien. Blir Ä bestille rom pÄ dette hotellet igjen.

Magnifique séjour !

Nous y avons sĂ©journĂ© Ă  3 pour 2 semaines en aout 2016 dans un studio pour 3 personnes (vue latĂ©rale mer au 2Ăšme Ă©tage) Cela a dĂ©jĂ  Ă©tĂ© dit de nombreuses fois mais comment ne pas encore faire l’éloge de George (le responsable de Despina Studio) George est une perle, il fera son possible pour vous aider dans toutes les circonstances, discret, attentionnĂ©, mĂ©ticuleux 
 L’établissement, les studios, les alentours sont d’une propretĂ© irrĂ©prochable ! Le studio est entretenu tous les jours, les draps, les serviettes sont changĂ©es au moins tous les 2 jours au maximum. Nous craignons avant notre dĂ©part, d’ĂȘtre un peu Ă  l’étroit dans 27 mÂČ mais pas du tout le studio est bien agencĂ© et on ne s’y sent pas Ă  l’étroit il dispose d’un bon signal wifi, d’un coffre-fort (gratuit), de l’air conditionnĂ© (silencieux et gratuit) d’une terrasse et les rideaux sont doubles et occultants. Tout Ă©tait parfait - 10/10 - Encore merci George ;)

Fantastisk hotell, service og renhold.

Hotellet ligger flott til i hjertet av Agia Marina med kort avstand til Platnias. Busser gÄr jevnlig til Chania. Hotellet er er familiedrevet og maken til service skal en lete lenge etter. Vi kunne fritt benytte nabohotellets svÞmmebasseng, (Troulakis) og selvfÞlgelig deres flotte restaurant med et herlig personale. Vi skal selvfÞlgelig tilbake til dette hotellet da vi fÞlte oss veldig velkommen. En stor takk til George Panigirakis

Maravilhoso

Fomos recebidos de maneira excepcional, com refresco e biscoitos por George, muito atencioso, profissional e que nos deu valiosíssimas dicas de lugares e restaurantes. Ficamos no apartamento 201, com uma varanda enorme, um chuveiro simplesmente maravilhoso, móveis de boa qualidade, travesseiros e colchão muito bons, a limpeza era feita todos os dias e havia um cheiro muito bom por todo o hotel; não hå nada que possamos dizer de negativo quanto ao Hotel escolhido e serviços prestados. Recomendamos e voltaríamos a nos hospedar, com certeza!
