Pros:

Super vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Heel proper. Maar heel basic .

Cons:

Wat verouderd allemaal. Voor avondeten was er weinig keuze. Kon bijna niks van de kaart kiezen. Maar was wel lekker.

Excellent choice Robert before/after Samaria gorge
Pros:

Ideal location for the gorge. Take advantage of the shuttle if you’re planning on going there. The car park now charges 10€!

Friendly staff, excellent dinner and good breakfast.

Cons:

Didn’t get a great night’s sleep but not sure if it was the beds or just us!

Très bonne étape pour Samaria
Pros:

L'accueil chaleureux, la disponibilité du personnel, l'ambiance refuge de montagne familial, les repas, le confort de la literie.
Petit déjeuner excellent, service de navette gratuite pour aller au départ des gorges de Samaria (3 départs dont le 1er À 7h45).
Malgré un ensemble un peu vétuste, nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Cons:

Humidité dans la chambre et en particulier dans la salle de bain. Douche minuscule, peu de pression (difficile de se laver les cheveux surtout s'ils sont longs).

Un endroit stratégique
Pros:

L'accueil et le personnel sont agréables. Le repas et le petit déjeuner furent bons. Nous avions une chambre triple, la 101, qui est grande avec un balcon et fenêtre avec volets. Emplacement bien situé pour se rendre au gorges de Samaria ou Agia Irini.

Cons:

La chambre se trouve en haut de l'escalier, la première sur le palier, vous entendez les gens qui passent et parlent devant. Un peu plus de pression dans la douche serait appréciable.
