Beautiful small hotel and lovely staff By the roadside we had a sea view which was lovely rooms at the back can hear the traffic Enough beds for guests not always enough space outside for breakfast though Pebbly beach so take beach shoes Location great to walk into the old town Can walk this in 15 mins Hundreds of shops bars restaurants so we visited every evening and got a taxi back for about 6 euros 2 hour transfer from heraklion airport Great location for trips as pretty much 2 hours from heraklion and 2 hours from balos beach and elefanissi beach Which were stunning Few restaurants a bit further down from hotel also Breakfast at hotel basic but sufficient Lunch ok not much choice but large portions Small cove just down from hotel 2 minute walk no sun loungers but nice and peaceful if you take towel to lay on the sand Crete is Beautiful stunning place with the scenery and the trip to balis and elafanissi beach is advised Take walking shoes as you have to walk from thd coach to the beach down a mountain Rude through the mountains on the coach is stunning Overall great experience and i have been all over the world One last thing take extra hangers as not much storage but manageable and wasnt a problem No kettle facility but we took a travel kettle and bought a greek mug Fridge in room and also a shop few doors down and also a coffee shop next door Bus tickets can be purchased from coffee shop and cost 1 euro to the old town each way Be mindful there is a scenic bus number 20 which is the coast road and passes the hotels however there is also a national bus which doesnt lass all hotels. We realised this as a cost of 35 euros after getting the wrong bus and got off in the middle of nowhere and had to get a taxi back

“Lovely Hotel”

We have just come back from our amazing stay in this hotel. The location is perfect if you are happy to have a 20 minute stroll into the main town, or even get a taxi (7/8 euros).

We have just come back from our amazing stay in this hotel. The location is perfect if you are happy to have a 20 minute stroll into the main town, or even get a taxi (7/8 euros). The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming (we didn't get the name of the young girl on the desk but she was lovely). The rooms are quite basic but for a week stay they were perfect if you are not in your room too much. As we went in October the pool area was quiet and was perfect for relaxing in the day. The breakfast is just a standard European breakfast, perfect for just grabbing a bite to eat in the morning. The sea is right on the doorstep. The pool area has a snack bar (salads, pizzas, gyros) and was really high quality food. There are also amazing restaurants surrounding the hotel - which were amazing (Taverna Galera, Prima Plora and Karnagio). Would definitely recommend this hotel for a short break. For the price, we were so so impressed.

Overall it was good value for money and beautiful views from the balcony. Staff were welcoming. The room had good interior decor however we felt there needed to be further renovations to the hotel, the bathroom particularly needed work as we had wires out of the wall and a loose toilet . It was quite noisy in the room from the main road traffic but manageable. The pool side area was very nice with great views. The beach was a bit unclean with cigarette ends etc but cannot always be helped I know. The cold breakfast was ok but the cooked produce could be improved as appeared dried out and unappetising. There are a few lovely local restaurants if don’t want to walk 20 minutes into Rethymno. It was good for a one night stay.
