Ok z drobnym ale
Pros:

Śniadanie zróżnicowane, 2 balkony, uprzejma obsługa, dobrze wyposażona kuchnia

Cons:

W kuchni mimo dobrego doposażenia zabrakło parę zużywalnych rzeczy jak kawa, herbata, sól, filtry do kawy, oliwa czy gąbka do naczyń.

The kind of place that makes you plan your return
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed, in the way you feel when someone truly cares about your experience. The host was warm, attentive, and always one step ahead, ready to help with anything we needed. You can tell she puts her heart into this place. The hotel itself is freshly renovated and clean. For the price, the value is honestly hard to beat. Breakfast was included and was a lovely way to start each morning. The pool was beautiful and the entire staff, without exception, greeted us with a smile every single time. We left already talking about our next trip to Crete and there's no question we'll be coming back to this hotel. Highly recommend!

Lovely and professional staff. Hotel is clean and in good condition. Will definetly visit again, if in the area.
Pros:

Staff is the super power of this apartment hotel. They made my family feel so welcome and did everything and more, so we could enjoy our holiday. Thank you for the awesome breakfasts and nice chats. Special thanks to the lovely lady in the kitchen.

The hotel is clean and run with care. Rooms are comfy and fresh. Nice little pool area and a small spa (book in advance). Location is good and there’s free parking on the street. Nice little shop on the other side of the road and you can basically get anything you need and more from that shop. Very nice beach close by. And if you don’t have a rental car, there’s a bus stop next to the hotel.

And the beds are one of the best beds I’ve ever slept on while on holiday, and away from home.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.
