Maria's Studios are an outstanding choice when visiting Frangokastello. The hotel features large, clean rooms with roomy, clean Bathrooms.The kitchenette provided all the basics necessary for simple cooking. The location was excellent, a two minute stroll takes you to a very nice sandy beach by a protected swimming cove, great for all ages. The stunning Venetian castle is a short walk away, as is a small supermarket with a nice selection of Cretan cheeses. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here.

Un hôtel à réserver en dernier recours.
Cet hôtel est très simple avec du mobilier qui date pour ne pas dire fatigué. Seule la salle d’eau de notre chambre faisait récente, mais une odeur d’égout partagée avec la kitchenette était persistante
Le lit était peu confortable et il était impossible d’obscurcir totalement la pièce car la porte extérieure était en partie vitrée. Nous avons donc été réveillés à 06h du matin par le jour et surtout par les aboiements continus d’un chien situé à 10m de l’hôtel seulement. Nous n’avons pas pris de petit-déjeuner déjeuner sur place car la réceptionniste, agréable cependant, nous avait prévenu que nous ne l’apprécierions pas... Enfin l’hôtel est très proche de la plage. Ultime détail : le wifi ne fonctionnait pas. Heureusement, nous n’y avons passé qu’une nuit.
