A confortable stay.
Pros:

We stayed here for a few hours (our flight was delayed). The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The hotel is well located, really close to the beach. It’s not what we would normally choose, but it was better than expected and might be a confortable accomodation with great money value, but with minimal facilities.

Cons:

There was a problem with the elevator and they had people in charge of repairs. We wanted to have some rest before our flight, but it was not possible due to the loud noises the repair team was causing. We would have prefered to be informed of the situation before check in (the elevator was already out of use when we arrived).

I like it for one day, it’s ok, not for longer stay we chose other apartments. And I really recommend to take it with br
Pros:

Breakfast is really good, you have lot to choose, we were surprised and really like it; apartments is clean and comfortable; district is safe and everything is near, especially beach; pool is nice but we didn’t swim there; balcony which saved us from heat

Cons:

The system with keys, that only if your keys there, you can use the AC and light. My partner wanted to go shopping and I wanted to stay in apartment. But he need keys to go through main gate and we only had 1 key for us two, so it was uncomfortable. Also, AC minimum temperature somewhere near 20 degrees. It took us approximately 3 hours to cool our room. When we came it was exhausting hot. And with this AC it’s not really helpful to deal with heat

Very bad, we went to the central city on bus all the family just to be freshed from the bad atmosphere at the hotel.
Pros:

The owner is very kind woman and she explained us the thing that we need to know about the property and the area and here it unfortunately finished.

Cons:

It’s very old building and not Well-kept and preserved that’s To put it mildly, not a good smell in the rooms, we took two rooms for only one night till the morning because we have a early flight.
The mattress was uncomfortable and the blankets was not a good smell.
A lot of noise till late at night from near by hotel.
And the top of the thing was at the morning before the flight we want to take a shower and the water was cold very cold so we couldn’t make a shower.
The air condition limit to 20 degrees
The key of the room have to be connected to magnetic stuff on the wall so the electrical power in the apartment can’t work without this, and when i want to open or close the door we need to take it out from the magnetic holder on the wall and you can’t see nothing because the lights shut down, also if you want to leave the phone for charge you cant.
I very sorry to tell this because the owner was marvelous women but when you host people even for a short night that supposed to be basic+ and it didn’t even was close to that.

A lovely Cretan welcome
Pros:

Lovely welcoming staff, friendly and helpful with great English. Nice pool area with bar. Rooms were very clean. Lots of parking nearby.

Cons:

Rooms, although fairly old fashioned and basic, are clean. But the bathroom, in particular, was very dated
with a tiny curtained shower and noisy extractor fan. Air-conditioning is also old and noisy.
