Great hotel
We stayed here with friends as a base for a few days hiking. We had a fabulous welcome from Marina who is bubbly, warm and very friendly. As there were only a few rooms occupied at the time, Marina showed us several rooms and let us choose which ones we wanted. We chose 2 rooms on the ground floor as they had terraces in the garden and we could move from room to room easily. The rooms were both very spacious (one with a fireplace) and spotlessly clean. The bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water. There was a small kitchenette with fridge and hotplate but a larger pan to boil water for tea or coffee would have been useful as there was only the traditional pan to make coffee and they are quite small - having read about the lack of a kettle in a previous review, I took our kettle from home! Obviously this isn't an option if you don't live on Crete! A teatowel and dish cloth would also have been helpful for washing and drying up breakfast dishes.
Overall we we were delighted with the hotel, unfortunately, we weren't so impressed with Anogia, not many tavernas around and those that were around had a very limited menu, I love lamb chops but not every day!
