Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were kind of crowded with the supplementary bed from the previous afternoon but had a wonderful view behind the reception. The service was friendly and communicative, great for getting to know more about Crete and its culture, but the incident during lunch was quite unsettling. The location was perfect, striking a balance between peaceful nights and easy access to the vibrant heart of the area. The dining always offered a good choice, especially for someone in Greece. The facilities were basic but sufficient for a pleasant stay.
The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit old and cramped with the extra bed, but the sea view was beautiful and uplifting every day. The service staff were nice and interactive, providing insights into Crete's culture, despite a constant unpleasant odor presence. The location was convenient, offering a peaceful stay near the beach yet close to lively spots.
