Tutto SUPER
Pros:

Mi e piaciuto tutto, personale cordiale.

La colazione è stata perfetta, molto varia.

La piscina in hotel è ottima in quanto ci sono stati giorni con tanto vento e al mare non potevi starci/nuotare

Grazie mille per questo soggiorno.

Cons:

È una cosa mia... la doccia aperta non mi è mai piaciuta perché esce tutta l'acqua.

Se volete dormire più tardi (10/11) ricordatevi di mettere il cartellino "non disturbare"

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Castoro Hotel in Crete. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed.

The location is excellent — only a 3-minute walk from the beach, and there is a bus stop right next to the hotel, which makes it very convenient for getting around.

The breakfasts were delicious, with a good variety of food every day. The hotel was also very clean, and the room was comfortable and well maintained.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Crete and would be happy to stay here again.

Viiden tähden suositus
Pros:

Kaunis hotelli alueineen ja mielettömän ihana henkilökunta! Kaikki todella ystävällisiä ja avuliaita. Hotelli siisti ja sijainti täydellinen. Lyhyt kävelymatka merelle sekä hotellin edestä lähti suora bussiyhteys keskustaan ja lentoasemalle.
Hotellin ravintolassa ehdottomasti koko reissumme parhaat ruuat.
Hyvä aamiainen myös joka sisältyi hintaan.
Allasalue siisti, paljon aurinkotuoleja ja allasvesi todella puhdasta.

Cons:

Pidimme ihan kaikesta.

Pros:

We would like sincerely thank Castro hotel for another wonderful stay. Upon arrival, we received the room upgrade — we were truly pleasantly surprised and very grateful.
The hotel is very clean, cozy, and quiet. This is not our first time coming back here, because this place has a truly special atmosphere. The staff is amazing — friendly, warm, and helpful, simply a refreshment for the soul.
“Maxim Restaurant” — 10/10. Even though we had tried other places before, during this stay we wanted to eat only here. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the prices are friendly, and the atmosphere is simply wonderful.
A perfect place to escape from big city chaos and noise. The sea is only a few minutes away on foot.
A big thanks to the owner and staff for the lovely farewell gift. We wish the entire wonderful team the greatest success ❤️
100% recommended 👌

Cons:

Nothing 🥰
