I chose the hotel only for an overnight stay, with a good location and I was not mistaken. Prepared for the worst, knowing the hotel base in Greece. The only negative is very modest breakfasts, but we paid not a lot of money for the tour. The hotel is modest but very neat and clean. Nice hosts, attentive. The room had a mini fridge, kettle and hair dryer. … More ▾ I chose the hotel only for an overnight stay, with a good location and I was not mistaken.

Nice hosts, attentive. The room had a mini fridge, kettle and hair dryer. The location is excellent - in the city center, close to restaurants, cafes, shops. Very close to the bus stop from where you can go to Heraklion, Malia. Walk to the beach for about 5 minutes, the beach can be chosen as sandy or pebbly. In the evening it is the same: you go to the left - a noisy cheerful embankment, to the right - a calm promenade. Great option for your money.

We have good impressions about this hotel, the territory is good, in principle, the hotel corresponds to its stars. There are some inconveniences in the room, there could be midges in the shower, but this is all insignificant. The food at the hotel is good. On the territory - a swimming pool, where you can swim and sunbathe. … More ▾ We have good impressions about this hotel, the territory is good, in principle, the hotel corresponds to its stars. There are some inconveniences in the room, there could be midges in the shower, but this is all insignificant. The food at the hotel is good. On the territory - a swimming pool, where you can swim and sunbathe. Near the pool - outdoor shower. On the territory of the palm tree, some flowers grew, it was quite nice, the hotel is not far from the sea. The only thing that is not equipped in Crete is mainly the beaches, they are more like wild ones, and those that are equipped with free sunbeds have a lot of people. Given the price / quality ratio, the hotel is somewhere in the 8 out of 10.

The hotel was awarded the third star. But he's still terrible. For the same price there are normal 3 * Black mold in the bathroom, black marks on the walls, a rickety table on the balcony cut with knives, an unfilled air conditioner that stinks of a rotten rag, a view of the main street of the village - constant noise in the room (when the air conditioner is not working - this is a necessary measure), slightly broken tiles everywhere , a non-working drain in the sink, salt water for brewing tea, and the tea itself is sold to its guests for more than in a neighboring cafe. … More ▾ The hotel was awarded the third star.

Black mold in the bathroom, black marks on the walls, a rickety table on the balcony cut with knives, an unfilled air conditioner that stinks of a rotten rag, a view of the main street of the village - constant noise in the room (when the air conditioner is not working - this is a necessary measure), slightly broken tiles everywhere , a non-working drain in the sink, salt water for brewing tea, and the tea itself is sold to its guests for more than in a neighboring cafe.
The staff was clearly waiting for money up front for the "promised services" of moving to a room overlooking the courtyard or pool. But since I am used to paying after receiving services, and the Greeks do not talk directly about money, we did not wait for the resettlement either.
Fortunately, my husband and I returned to it late and left early in the morning immediately after breakfast. But if your plans are not in constant movement around the island, then it is better to immediately look for other options.
I advise you to pre-arrange before arrival a room with a view of the courtyard.

Chose this hotel based on location, price and guest reviews. The hotel is on a busy street. Near shops, cafes, tour. agencies. To the beach 5 min. The room is quite large, two beds, bedside tables, dressing table, refrigerator, TV, air conditioning (at no extra charge). Only a hair dryer is missing. Cleaned up every day. … More ▾ Chose this hotel based on location, price and guest reviews. The hotel is on a busy street. Near shops, cafes, tour. agencies. To the beach 5 min.

I caught the Internet in the room, we had a first floor, windows overlooking the pool. We only had breakfast. We dined at their own cafe. Not bad and big portions. We went on excursions from a street agency, their excursions are almost two times lower than those of a tour operator. They were satisfied.

Good afternoon. You just can’t believe that the vacation has flown by, three months of preparation and now 7 great days as it never happened. I will say right away that this year's vacation, after all, was very economical, so we chose this hotel and did not regret it. The hotel is excellent (for not picky tourists), we took a standard room without renovation: small, clean, with a balcony. … More ▾ Good afternoon. You just can’t believe that the vacation has flown by, three months of preparation and now 7 great days as it never happened. I will say right away that this year's vacation, after all, was very economical, so we chose this hotel and did not regret it. The hotel is excellent (for not picky tourists), we took a standard room without renovation: small, clean, with a balcony. Meals breakfast and dinner: very tasty, breakfast is monotonous, dinner, on the contrary, is varied. The room has WI-FI free and very good, for a whole week we talked with relatives via Skype, you have to ask for the password at the reception.
From the sea just delighted: clean, warm, clear water. Beautiful nature. We went to swim on Star Beach, renting a sunbed 3 euros, an umbrella 2 euros.
We did not buy excursions, the budget did not allow, we went ourselves to Heraklion (one-way bus fare 3 euros), Agios Nikolaius (travel 4.1 euros).
We rented an 80cc ATV. 1 day -35 euros + own gasoline. We drove it to the neighboring villages of Stalida and Malia.
In supermarkets, approximate food prices: bread 1.7 euros, cheese 2.2 euros, cold cuts 2.7 euros, milk 1.5l-2.2 euros, beer 0.8-1.3 euros, ice cream 1.5 -3 euros, wine 3-7 euros.
Meals in a cafe: pizza 8 euros, pita -3-4 euros, salad 4-10 euros, meat + potatoes 8-10 euros, coffee from 2 euros, beer from 3 euros.
The overall impression is very good, I recommend you will not regret it.

I decided to write a review, because before the trip I myself was looking for information, but I didn’t find anything (Economy class hotel, small, clean, comfortable, it’s really hard to say from the outside that this is a hotel, on the first floor of a cafe, on the second room. The room has everything you need ( air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, shower, two beds, what is missing is a hair dryer, you need to take it with you) Food is normal but monotonous ((The location is good, the hotel is located on a very busy street (supermarkets, cafes, pharmacies, shops I was in such a hotel for the first time, compared to Turkey and Egypt, this is an extension to something) Perfect for people who spend little time in the room, we went out in the morning and returned late in the evening, rented a car. … More ▾ I decided to write a review, because before the trip I myself was looking for information, but I didn’t find anything (Economy class hotel, small, clean, comfortable, it’s really hard to say from the outside that this is a hotel, on the first floor of a cafe, on the second room.

Lunch is an average of 8 euros, I advise you to eat somewhere in the village (not a tourist. place) it’s cheaper and tastier, though it’s difficult with the menu, they don’t understand English there and Russian, respectively, too) We arranged excursions on our own by car, I advise you to see the Palace of Knossos, the cave of Zeus, about. Spinalonga, walk around Agios Nikolaos and Heraklion, be sure to visit the water park and try the moussaka dish!! ! Good luck!! !

Having just returned from Crete, I want to write a review about this hotel, because it was based on the reviews that I chose it. In fact, the hotel is positioned as 3 * and the price / quality ratio is fully consistent with it. I was settled in 5 minutes, immediately there was a broken light in the bathroom in the room, I was offered another room, but I refused and the next morning, while I was lying on the beach, they did everything for me. … More ▾ Having just returned from Crete, I want to write a review about this hotel, because it was based on the reviews that I chose it. In fact, the hotel is positioned as 3 * and the price / quality ratio is fully consistent with it. I was settled in 5 minutes, immediately there was a broken light in the bathroom in the room, I was offered another room, but I refused and the next morning, while I was lying on the beach, they did everything for me. The hotel is located on the second line, on a busy street, where souvenir shops, shops and supermarkets are mainly located, as well as many different cafes where you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I only had breakfast in this hotel, so I can only speak objectively about them. Breakfasts are very modest, continental: cheese, sausage, always fresh bread, corn flakes with milk, jams and either yogurt or cottage cheese, tea, coffee, and sausages and scrambled eggs, in general, a breakfast for the unpretentious. Personally, I had enough because I don’t want to eat in the morning. And for the rest, there are a lot of cafes around, including directly in the hotel building, they also have their own cafe. The portions are large, for french fries lovers it’s a paradise, because it goes there as the main side dish, I’m sick of it for two weeks of vacation, but this is with regards to Greek cuisine, there is an alternative - Italian, i. e. pizza and pasta, also I found Indian and Chinese, and even Russian, you will not stay hungry. Air conditioning and wi-fi are free. For those who are not "equipped" with modern technology with wi-fi function, like me, there is an Internet cafe right at the entrance to the hotel, and also across the road (it's cheaper). Now about the rooms themselves in the hotel, also very modest, small rooms with old furniture, but clean and ironed linens and soft white towels. Plastered walls painted with ordinary paint with some kind of photograph on the wall. Again, let me remind you that this is a 3 * hotel and not 5 * and you should not expect super modernity and comfort from it. The territory of the hotel is limited to a small patio with an oval pool 5x3 meters and a dozen, not the first freshness, sunbeds. Again, I looked there only 2 times, because for two days in a row the sea was stormy and all the beaches were flooded. What is the point of coming to the sea and lying by the pool with chlorine water? By the way, all the beaches are municipal, there are no hotel beaches, so all sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, at the time of my vacation the cost of a sunbed is 2.5 euros, an umbrella is 2.5 euros. Based on the foregoing, I want to sum up: this hotel is good for everyone for unpretentious and active people who come to relax by the sea and see the sights of. Crete. I wish you all a pleasant holiday.

Terrible hotel! The rooms are empty - except for the beds and one bedside table there is nothing. The shower is tiny with a curtain, not a cabin. Air conditioning is paid. There is never anyone at the front desk. The hotel guests drink all night and rowdy - 2 times drunken Dutch knocked out the door to our room, the last time with their heads. … More ▾ Terrible hotel!

The hotel guests drink all night and rowdy - 2 times drunken Dutch knocked out the door to our room, the last time with their heads. Sleep is impossible. Far from the beach. The hotel is 100 meters not from the beach, but from the cliff. For the beach you have to pay 4 euros per day and walk to it for 15 minutes.
