Arrivo a creta
Pros:

L unica cosa che mi e piaciuta e stata la vista dalla camera,diretta sul mare e la mattina si vedevano gli aerei partire

Cons:

Camera angusta,letti e cuscini scomodi,la colazione nn mi e piaciuta e abbiamo preso 2 birre la sera ed e stata una rapina.
Meno male siamo stati solo la notte che siamo arrivati,l abbiamo scelta perché molto vicino all aereoporto.

Ok for a night
Pros:

The employees were very friendly. The dog is very cute too. The price was ok, especially with the breakfast included.

Cons:

It is a very old hotel. The shower is not functional, too small, with a curtain that does nothing and everything gets wet. Very noisy, we can hear everything from the rooms around and from the street.
We expected a bit more from the breakfast. There was a little offer of fruits/fresh food compared to a great offer of fatty and sweet industrial-like products, cakes, pastry, etc... It could at least offer fresh bread instead of the long-term packed one.

Pros:

The place was in a convenient spot, close to the airport. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good. The room was clean and the view very nice.

Cons:

The bathroom door would not close properly. I reported this to the reception, and although I was told it had been fixed, I still couldn't close it. Also, the shower area was too small and rather inconvenient to use.
