Great stay
Pros:

Beautiful and clean hotel. Walking distance to everything and gorgeous view from the private patio. I couldn’t complain about a thing. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking items as well.

EXCELLENT HOTEL!
Pros:

We have returned here numerous times over the years, with our kids as they grow up and this latest time as a couple...as the kids have grown up!
Andreas and Eleftheria are exceptional hosts with a keen eye for detail and ensure everything is perfect at all times. They and the housekeeping ladies always great to see as we know a good holiday is about to start! Excellent rooms which are clean, comfortable and well equipped to make drinks and snacks, and with complimentary toiletries.

Perfect Base
Pros:

This was our third stay at the Iliana Hotel. Our one bed apartment was spacious and, as always, immaculately clean. The owners, Andreas & Eleftheria, cannot do enough to help their customers and the Iliana a perfect base for touring the area (Bali, Rethymno,etc.) especially as it has its own gated car park.
The Iliana doesn’t have its own restaurant but the adjacent “Il Camino” serves excellent meals in the evenings at very reasonable prices; most of the food served being sourced from the owners nearby farm.

Pros:

The Iliana must be the best place to stay in Panarmos. Excellent location only a few minutes from the tavernas and bars. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. Great sun beds - exceptionally comfy. Spotless pool - albeit a bit chilli but did the job of cooling you off! Studio apartment great - huge comfy bed, lovely cool cotton sheets,. Shower good size plenty of hot water, fluffy towels plus pool towels. Fridge kettle a couple of electric rings if you wanted to make a snack. Lovely breakfast as an optional extra for €5 each. Really can’t fault the place. I’ve no idea how it has only a 2* rating - it’s so much more. Enjoy!

Tolle familiäre Atmosphäre in ruhigem Fischerdorf
Pros:

Wir können das Iliana wirklich empfehlen, uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Die geringe Anzahl an Zimmern und somit Gästen und die freundliche, unaufdringliche und zuvorkommende Art der Beschäftigten haben eine Atmosphäre zum Wohlfühlen geschaffen. Unser Balkontürschloss war defekt, es hat sofort jemand vorbei geschaut und am nächsten Werktag wurde es repariert. Den Pool hatten wir meistens für uns alleine, allerdings waren wir auch außerhalb der Ferienzeit dort. Die Putzfrauen kamen zwar nur alle 2-3 Tage ins Zimmer, war aber völlig ausreichend. Den Platz für Bücher im Koffer kann man sich sparen, es gibt eine große Bücherecke. Salz, Pfeffer, Gewürze etc. sind nicht in der Küche vorhanden, evtl. schon von zu Hause mitnehmen, um dort nicht alles kaufen zu müssen.

Quiet Oasis
Pros:

We were so impressed with our week stay at the Iliana in September 2017 that we booked to return for a fortnight this September. The 377 sq ft apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean. Andreas and Eleftheria, the owners, were in attendance every day to quickly resolve any problems and give advice on where to visit and where to eat.

Pros:

Hotel Iliana is a little Paradise in the middle of the village of Panormos. People are so friendly, this is very clean, and well maintained. Even clients are like a big family. It took us only a day to feel like home!
Everything is near in the village, supermarket, stores, restaurants, excursions, taxis, cats 😁, and the beach.
This was perfect for us, we loved Hotel Iliana. We certainly will be back!

Great Greek stay
Pros:

This is a really very well run, spotlessly clean but simple (typical Greek style) establishment. We went for a week so chose to take the hotel breakfast rather than faff about getting stuff in to make our own. We booked a studio room in the Hotel Iliana which had ample space for two of us but the fridge and simple electric hot rings would have enabled us to produce simple food had we so chosen.

The taxi transfer to and from the hotel was arranged by the hotelier (Andreas) and went without a hitch. The taxi was reliable, of extremely high quality and driven safely and at moderate speed - what a blessing!

Although we love Greece, we have not been for about five years now but we were not disappointed and we would certainly consider visiting again! For us, Panormos and the modest Hotel Iliana offer exactly what we are looking for in a Greek getaway to simply enjoy the sun, read a book and unwind - good, clean accommodation, small sandy beaches and a good choice of tavernas (with no pushy touts outside). We particularly liked the vehicular restrictions which means that most of the tavernas are on pedestrianised streets. When we went at the end of May 2016, there was no problem finding spare beach beds/brollies or a place to eat without needing to book.

beutiful Fira!
Pros:

We loved being so close to Fira! The hotel was nice with a great free breakfast! The pool area was perfect, hidden away so not being watched by passer byes. Customer service isn't 5 star American standard, but for here great I'm sure.
