Geweldige vakantie gehad, mede door de keuze om deze locatie te boeken!
Pros:

Vriendelijk onthaal, erg mooi pand. Prima locatie, midden in het oude centrum. Goede service, familiaire sfeer. Lekker ontbijt.

We hebben direct opnieuw geboekt voor komend jaar, maar dan de penthouse, die beschikt over een mooie buitenruimte met uitzicht op het fort. Lekker even buiten relaxen was het enige dat wij misten.

Aanrader!!!

Cons:

Helemaal niets!

Highly recommend! Top choice for our return trip to Crete!!!!
Pros:

This hotel and the people who manage it are lovely! Gorgeous restoration and great location in the midst of old town on a quiet street with walking access to sites, restaurants and all the cats!

Cons:

This is for ALL hotels: it would be nice to have filtered water available so people wouldn’t need to use so much plastic. Also, please put up more hooks and racks in bathrooms so towels can truly dry out!

The property is wonderful and no expense has been spared, mind blowing!!!
Pros:

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. They have renovated the building over time and it is exceptional. I am very annoyed with myself for not finding it years ago. The staff are great and the location is excellent.

Cons:

Car parking is not available at he hotel as it is in a protected area. But parking is available outside the OLD TOWN zone. The cobbled streets make suitcases really noisy so pack in a rucksack is a good idea.

Ein toller Frühjahrsurlaub mit fantastischen Luft- und Wassertemperaturen
Pros:

Tolle Lage im Zentrum, trotzdem ruhig gelegen da kein Verkehr in dieser Straße. Wunderschöne Hotelarchitektur.
Supernette Gastgeber und sehr aufmerksames Servicepersonal.
Alle Wünsche werden unmittelbar berücksichtigt.
Tolle Ausgangslage für Unternehmungen und Strandbesuch.
In unmittelbarer Nähe viel Gastronomie, Bars, Cafes, Markt, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten mit sehr netten zuvorkommenden entspannten Menschen. Das gilt eigentlich für alle Leute die wir getroffen haben.
Der alte Hafen und die Promenade sind schnell fußläufig erreichbar.
Der Busbahnhof, Taxistand sowie diverse Mietwagenfirmen befinden sich ebenso in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Wir kommen gerne wieder, bevorzugen dazu aber wieder einen Besuch im Frühjahr.

très bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Accueil adorable, un bel appartement avec une grande et jolie terrasse comme sur les photos, très propre, et surtout très bien situé au coeur de la vieille ville, c'est très beau dès le hall d'entrée!

Cons:

Déjeuner très correct mais sans plus, et surtout j'avais choisi cet hôtel plutôt qu'un autre spécialement pour la baignoire SPA, que je n'ai pas pu utiliser (pas assez de débit, pas assez d'eau chaude) donc j'ai un peu de frustration
