Akasti Hotel

“Calm atmosphere by the sea with a pool 5km from Chania”

Great hotel if you dont want to stay in the thick of town. It is clean, and the owner and staff are friendly and helpful. the room had aircon, and a small balcony. I loved it because it was quiet, yet I could get into the town by bus or even walk (if you like walking a bit). I took a taxi home at … more

Great hotel if you dont want to stay in the thick of town. It is clean, and the owner and staff are friendly and helpful. the room had aircon, and a small balcony. I loved it because it was quiet, yet I could get into the town by bus or even walk (if you like walking a bit). I took a taxi home at night without issues, but the busses run late also. Excursion operators collected me from the hotel. Nearby were some ok restaurants, and plenty of beaches. I would return. Breakfast was quite sufficient, with some hot, and some cold food. There is a shop and pharmacy right there also.

Me and my partner stayed in this hotel at the beginning of August for 2 weeks having been let down by our hotel not opening. However, we were extremely pleased we managed to stay in the Akasti. The owner, Tasos and his family were wonderful. He was extremely accommodating and helpful to us and the price of the hotel was more than reasonable. The breakfast was good, the room was a nice size and extremely clean with lovely cleaning staff. Our room had a sea view and although the hotel was on a busy road you didn’t hear much noise from the traffic. The local bus service is excellent with tickets for €1.50 each way into Chania town. There are a number of restaurants and beaches within walking distance of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel and hope to return in future. Tasos made us feel very welcome and always had a smile and good conversation.

“to be improved”

The property needs to be renewed: We stayed in a ground floor room with a very comfy bed but a very small and old bathroom.

The property needs to be renewed: We stayed in a ground floor room with a very comfy bed but a very small and old bathroom. The shower without curtain, a small sink, without any shelves to store our own items. The soap is not refilled every day and towels are changed under request. The closet smelled like old. The room is equipped with a small old rusty kitchen that doesn't work (just the fridge works)..why don't remove it?? The second room reserved by my family was very similar to mine but, moreover, had a very big window/skylight over the not working kitchen without any tend. Every morning at 5:00, the sun brightened the bedroom. We reserved a half-board treatment (breakfast + dinner). The breakfast is the worst part of the journey: always, every day, the same! Just 1 juice (maybe orange), just 1 cake (the same until over), 1 kind of yogurt and 2 types of cereals and 1 carton of milk. Who preferred a salted breakfast, found every morning: 1 kind of cheese, 1 kind of salami, eggs, bread and tomato and cocumber. Always the same, 1 kind of each one. No choise. About dinner: the daily menu is selected by the restaurant: No personal choise but every evening a different dish. In a week: 6 meat + 1 fish. The portions are big and delicious (maybe too salted). The pool is a jewel and the propery has a big potential but remains a 2* without any efforts. Staff and owners very very kind.
