Good location, friendly, excellent value for money

Friendly welcome, good location. We had a slight issue in that the shower head clip (to attach to the pole) was missing, I mentioned it to reception and it was dealt with immediately. Breakfast was basic as I expected for the price.

Perfect when you are travelling by bus

This hotel is about a 6 minute walk from the bus station and is in easy reach of the town centre, about a 10 minute walk. The sanitary recommendations for Covid are strictly applied, the rooms are cleaned daily. Staff are on duty 24/24 and are all very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is varied and plentiful. Only one bad point, situated on a main street it's quite noisy you need ear plugs at night.

A lovely welcome. We arrived late but the gentleman in reception was so welcoming. We had a very early start to catch the ferry in the morning. He very kindly arranged for the catering staff to provide coffee, biscuits & cake for us.

Excellent and near port

It was one of the best hotels even if it is rated at 3stars category. the reason of being satisfied about my staying there is that it had a wonderful view of all over the coast line, it was clean and spacy, the breakfast was appropriate and the dinner was of a great variety on the boufet and well cooked foods as meat, salads, desserts and ordef. the only disadvantage is the charged Internet when u are in the room.

Beautiful, clean, near ferry port and McDonald's!!

Amazing!! Beautiful, clean, friendly hotel. Front desk staff were all angels, gave great directions. Importantly, there is NO KETTLE in the room. The front desk provided me with hot water at all hours for hot drinks in my room or in the lobby. Wifi was fine. Cheap, good supermarket around the corner. Near McDonald's, bus station, and ferry port!! Quick walk to town, not bad.

Not non-smoker friendly

The entire hotel smelled like cigarette smoke. The bedding and towels had hairs on them which wasn't from us. The street noise and noise from the rest of the hotel came through the walls very clearly. We were woken up by people in flip flops going down the stairs every morning. The breakfast supplied by the hotel was fairly tasty and had a good variety of foods. The people at the front desk were generally friendly.

Séjour d'une nuit sans déjeuner

Hôtel proche du port et de l’arrêt de bus pour se rendre à l’aéroport. Quartier proche du centre ville mais sans intérêt. Séjour d'une nuit sans déjeuner avant retour en France. Chambre spacieuse. Salle de bain très petite. Personnel très accueillant .

Vicino a e facilmente raggiungibile da aeroporto & porto. A due passi dal centro a piedi. Ottimo per breve approccio in transito da/per la città all'arrivo/partenza da Creta. Struttura un pò datata (soprattutto i bagni) e un pò spartana, ma pulita ed economica.

Noisy

The entrance of the hotel looked very nice and the staff was friendly but the room was very basic which was fine as my husband and I were staying only the 1 night to catch a boat early morning. I hardly slept as it was very noisy, I could hear the lift and then water running, it went on for a while way after 1am!! The room could have been more inviting and needed a little updating. It is a shame as it is convenient for transport links.

Clean and Convenient

This hotel is straight down the street from the port so very convenient. I came in at night and didn't want to spend money on a cab, so it was perfect. Old look and feel in the rooms, but it was clean and had A/C, hot water, wifi, and great new sheets and towels. Breakfast is basic, and they ran out of honey for the yogurt, which is pretty crazy for Greece. Pretty quick walk to the city center.

Excellent budget hotel close to airport

We found this hotel to be great value and conveniently located for both the airport and the centre of town, which is about 10/15 minute walk away. The staff are very friendly and we received a very warm welcome when we arrived in the early hours of the morning. We were able to park right outside the hotel, with no problems. Our room had good air conditioning and a private balcony with partial sea view. The continental breakfast was very good. We would highly recommend.
