Agrabella Hotel - Adults Only

“Hospitality that feels like home în the heart of Hersonissos”

We had a wonderful stay at Agrabella Hotel in Hersonissos.

We had a wonderful stay at Agrabella Hotel in Hersonissos. The location is perfect, just 2–3 minutes to the sea, tavernas, shops, bus stops, and even the local aquarium (which we definitely recommend visiting), yet still quiet and peaceful at night. Unlike many hotels right by the beach road where music and crowds go on until late, this one is in a much calmer spot The hotel is family-run, and you feel that personal touch everywhere. Anastasios and his family were so kind, welcoming and always ready to help with anything, from practical tips to local recommendations. The rooms fit every budget, and cleanliness was excellent in our experience daily tidying, frequent towel changes, and fresh sheets twice a week Breakfast was good with plenty of choices, including local dishes, hot options, desserts, coffee and juices. Yes, some items repeat (like in most hotels), but the quality and variety were satisfying overall. The only thing to note is that most rooms don’t have sea views, except some of the top-floor apartments, but in return you enjoy peace and quiet during the night. Overall, a great balance of location, hospitality and value for money. Hersonissos itself is a lovely destination, and staying here made our trip even better. Would gladly come back! ☀️🏖️

“Lovely and friendly hotel”

We really enjoyed our stay here, so please don't be put off by the negative reviews. So first of all, the staff are amazing. So so friendly and welcoming, an absolute credit to the hotel. We had booked the economy room but decided to upgrade - nothing free until the next morning (we arrived very late so not an issue). The economy room is small with a tiny balcony but for all accounts does the job. You need to pay extra for air conditioning with the economy too. We wanted a bit more space and the upgrade really isn't much more and includes air con and wi-fi. We got our upgrade the next morning and the new room was great - nice and spacious, extremely comfortable bed, nice sized balcony overlooking a little plaza area and tortoise enclosure (! So nice!). The TV doesn't have many channels but we weren't watching TV anyway. Bathroom a nice big size with actual bath. The water pressure in shower wasn't as good as some we have had before but it did the job. Nice big wardrobe to hang our clothes, plus an extra futon too. Nice size fridge. Food we found to be good. Yes, funnily enough there's a lot of Greek food on offer because Crete is a Greek island! The breakfast selection was good - some dried cereals, yoghurt, cold meats, cheeses, pastries and varied selection of hot food that changed up every day - sausages, diff varieties of eggs, bacon, warm pastries, porridge and rice pudding a couple of mornings (yum). Plus coffee machine and fruit juice. Lunch and dinner was also good - no, the hot selection isn't huge but the dishes they had were nice. Fresh salads of diff varieties, pasta, fish, stew, Greek dishes, potatoes, pizza etc. desserts are only ice cream or fresh fruit, but we don't tend to eat much dessert. There's a huge and varied selection of places to eat right next to the hotel if you wanted something different too. All Inclusive drinks - typical local spirits, beer (really nice), wine (tried the red which was pretty nice). There's no cocktails on the All Inclusive but they do serve them and have lots of Happy Hour specials, 2 for 1 etc and they looked good. Reasonably priced. Fanta, cola etc included on All Inclusive too. There's a nice bar area next to the pool with a games area too - pool, table tennis, etc. big TV screen where they had the Euros football playing. The pool area isn't huge but was nice, the sun hits the top balcony part first and the beds opposite get the sun later in the day. We always got a bed but I would say the best spots get taken up quick and there's not loads of beds so might depend on how busy hotel is. You could always go to a local beach where's it's 5 euros for the full day and right at the sea - we did that a couple of times and it was lovely. Location wise - brilliant. You are a minutes walk away from the main street and 5 mins walk from the beach and beach strip with lots of places to eat, pubs, shops. Hotel far enough back though that it's quiet. Hersonissos is a great place - would recommend Bar Samba on the beach strip (overlooks the sea, great cocktails and there's a giant turtle that swims by all the time!) and also El Puerto Mexican which was delicious. Lots of nice gift shops etc too, ice cream places, and a couple of supermarkets very close by. There's a bakery just at the bottom of the street hotel is on and I got a delicious Greek Bougatsa pastry there one morning, so yummy. Hotel also felt safe - they have 24 hour security and cameras, which I liked a lot. Overall, I really liked this hotel and would go back. If you are used to huge luxurious hotels then no this isn't for you. But if you want a friendly, comfortable hotel with nice food and aren't really fussy and wanting more for a 3 Star hotel, then this is the place.
