The property is beautiful however the staff and the environment are very loud. We hear people talking at the reception area and outside in the garden quite often, including the staff. Also the area is close to the airport and military base therefore we hear planes all the time also early morning. Other than that, the room is clean and spacious and the balcony has a nice view over the garden and sea.

I enjoyed my stay , good value for money and the area around is magic. The only thing they could improve is being more welcoming and enjoying explaining about the area and what to visit. I could tell they didn’t really care about it, at least for my experience. Maybe because of a language barrier.

Short Stay!

Great location, quick walk to the beach. We had a great view from our room! Breakfast was great, although not complimentary. Staff was so friendly! Not so great things: we were in the main building which is not sound proof at all. To the point where we could hear the person in the room next to us turning their lights on and off. It just so happened to be their little one who clicked it on and off over and over and over again at 6am. The bathroom was a bit different. The shower had no door/curtain and there was a drain in the middle of the bathroom for the shower water. The bathroom was also riddled with mold.

Beautiful hotel, limited location without a car.

We stayed for two weeks in a beautiful part of the island, not particularly geared for tourist as there were only two places to eat within walking distance of the hotel with children. There were other towns about 30 minutes walk, one not particularly safe walking but the owner of the hotel knows the taverna owner and they came and collected us but were too busy to return us so we walked home in the dark, not too bad as we didn't have the kids. The town the other way is a better walk, but still a 3 mile round trip, with a Taverna called BOURAKIS RESTAURANT, with beautiful food. We hired a car and this enabled us to get to explore further afield. I had read reviews about the friendly nature of the owners and the staff at the hotel, sadly we did not experience this, helpful but not usual Greek friendly. The pool was beautiful, but no pool bar or snacks/drinks available to buy, as advertised, however there is a shop in walking distances and the small fridge in the room, meant cold drinks could be available throughout the day. Hotel was very clean and finished to a high standard. Chania is only 30 minutes away and well worth a visit.

It was a very clean place and you had everything you need to have a comfortable few days stay. Good working airconditioning, comfortable bed, a patio to relax in the sun, everyday new towel, everyday cleaning of the room and a great view over the sea (from the bedroom as well as from the front door). A lot of storage for clothes and extra’s. Also the closest beach is very close (3min by car), but there is also a swimming pool which is nice. Chania, was a short 20 drive from the hotel to get to the city center parking. Nevertheless the place could use some upgrade. For example we had 1 hot plate to cook, which heated up quite slowly. The shower and toilet were a bit outdated/older. The chair pillows on the patio were also ready for an update. The wi-fi didn’t properly reach our place. Overall a good stay and we enjoyed the area of Chania. Would recommend if you don’t need to much luxury. Overall rate: 7,5/10.
