Just ok
Pros:

Liked the appearance of the apartment.

Cons:

The studio apartment had no privacy with people walking past and also the apartments opposite overlooking. There was always a damp smell in the bathroom. Beds were very uncomfortable so I put the duvet on top of the mattress to soften it a bit. There was a lovely communal area but guests were very loud sitting there at night.

Excellent.
Pros:

Combinaison idéale entre localisation près de plusieurs plages très variées, proximité de bonnes routes mais en étant coupé de tout bruit venant d'elles, hôte très gentil, réceptif et à l'approche centrée sur le calme dans l'hôtel, l'adaptation aux besoins, les produits locaux, l'échange. Rapport qualité-prix exceptionnel. Proximité immédiate de la plage et de super restaus. Excellent camps de base pour explorer la région.

Cons:

Certains clients ne comprennent pas immédiatement ce qu'implique la tranquillité des autres invités (discussions un peu trop bruyantes sur les balcons, volume sonore au téléphone....) mais rien de majeur et rapidement et aimablement réglé avec l'hôte.

A peaceful, beautifully designed apartment with everything you need and wonderful hospitality!
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Greek-style apartment hotel! 🇬🇷

The place is full of charm — designed in traditional Greek style, comfortable and cozy, with a separate bedroom and a living room connected to a well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a lovely bottle of raki. The apartment was spotless, cleaned every day, with fresh towels and bed linen changed regularly. Everything was perfectly maintained.

From our terrace we had a wonderful view of the garden and the sea. The sandy beach was just a short walk away, and there were many tavernas, restaurants, and small shops nearby, as well as a bus stop with easy access to Chania. There was also an on-site bar where we could enjoy local drinks and relax.

The hosts were truly wonderful — always friendly, smiling, and ready to help with anything we needed. They made us feel at home from the first moment.

It’s a perfect place both for relaxing by the sea and for exploring Crete. We truly loved our stay and can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic Greek experience! 💙

Cons:

No negatives at all — everything was perfect!

Нам понравилось ВСЕ! Особенно расстояние до пляжа 122 метра 40 сантиметров!)))

Cons:

Это не претензия, а пожелание - немного пополнить и разнообразить комплект посуды на кухне.

Kreikkalainen unelma, loistava hinta-laatusuhde!
Pros:

Tämä hotelli on kuin kreikkalainen unelma! Niin kaunis puutarha ja viehättävä rakennus kreikkalaiseen tyyliin! Sijainti on rauhallisella sivukadulla, tosi lähellä merta ja hotellin parvekkeeltakin näkymä merelle. Meillä oli tilava huone, jossa 2 ulkotilaa sekä modernisti rempattu minikeittiö. Kaikki keittiövälineet pesuaineista lähtien löytyivät keittiöstä. Söimme aamupalan merenpuoleisella parvekkeella ja kuuntelimme meren aaltoilua. Tässä hotellissa sielu lepäsi. Hotellin isäntä Stelios oli hyvin auttavainen ja lähtöpäivänä myöhäisen lennon vuoksi saimme käyttää vastaanoton vieressä olevaa suihkutilaa. Aivan hotellin lähellä oleva ranta on hyvä hiekkaranta ja aika matalaa pitkän matkaa. Hotellin lähellä on myös hyvä minimarket sekä pääkadun toisella puolella bussipysäkki, josta pääsi Haniaan 2 eurolla. Taksi Haniaan n 15 € ja lentokentälle n 38 €. Hotellin lähistöllä on useita ravintoloita. Pääkadulla on vilkas liikenne, joten sivukaduilla rauhallisempaa istua iltaa. Pääkadun jalkakäytävät ovat paikoitellen hyvin kapeita.

Cons:

Lomalla on aina ihana mennä valmiille aamupalalle. Jos tarjolla olisi ollut aamiainen, olisimme sen ottaneet. Muuten ei mitään miinusta, tämä oli loistava hotelli!

I loved the entire apartments, it had the Greek cultural feel, I loved that we only had to walk around the corner to get to beach and a shop, the room was clean and comfortable and we were well looked after!!
