Pros:

Το ωραιότερο boutique hotel στις αρχανες.Ειχε όλα ότι χρειαστείς για μια άνετη διαμονή.Η Ελένη που μας υποδέχτηκε ήταν άψογη πολύ εξυπηρετική και πρόθυμη να μας εξυπηρετήσει,όπως και στο εστιατόριο η Εύα και ο Διονύσης. Γενικά ήταν όλα τέλεια όταν θα ξαναερθουμε πάλι εδώ θα μείνουμε.

Cons:

Όλα ήταν τέλεια

Escapade romantique
Pros:

Hotel de très bonne qualité, accueil, services, prestations, endroit très cosy, esprit bohème,calme, à proximité de restaurants typiques peu courants à 5 min à pied. Petit déjeuner avec larges choix de mets crétois, vous y trouverez forcément de quoi vous faire plaisir.

Cons:

La literie manquait de fermeté à notre goût

Sehr schöne Anlage mitten in der Stadt mit viel Luft nach oben um den fünf Sternen gerecht zu werden.
Pros:

Wir hatten ein großes Ferienhaus - also Platz ohne Ende. Das Personal im Hotel war extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Wir müssen hier am selbst vergebenen Standard - 5 Sterne - messen, und das hat man definitiv nicht erreicht. Das Frühstück ist ausreichend - aber übersichtlich. Vor allem das Obstangebot war sehr eingeschränkt.
Auf dem Balkon, über den wir zum Pool gehen konnten, war ein Hottube aufgebaut. nett für die online Checkliste - aber eigentlich unnötig und vor allem komplett im Weg.
Wir waren einen Abend im dazugehörigen Restaurant essen - ok - die Portionen waren für griechische Verhältnisse recht klein - aber auch lecker. Schlimmer war die Bedienung. Wenn man die leeren Teller und Gläser vor einem stehen hat, dann erwartet man schon eine Reaktion - oder?
Das bittere Ende waren die Lunchboxen für die Abreise. Toastbrot ohne Butter mit etwas Wurst belegt, trockener Kuchen und ein kleines kaltes Getränk. Maximal ein von fünf Sternen.

Perfect location to relax with joy of wine tasting and olive oil tasting in the land of the Minoans.
Pros:

The architecture and style harmonised with the original buildings. Narrow passages were retained rather than removed, creating a sense of mystery at every corner.

Cons:

Pools not heated which made swimming in early May an experience although not unpleasant. Lack of a comfortable seating area indoors.

Luxe overnachten met uitgebreid ontbijt
Pros:

Schone luxe mooie locatie, niet ver van Heraklion airport. Goede bedden en sfeervol ingericht. Bijbehorende Manili Bistro is lekker en het ontbijtbuffet super uitgebreid en verwennerij. Ook in de avond kan je er heerlijk eten. Tip: Bezoek wijnproeverijen in de buurt. Aanrader: wijnhuis Lyrarakis. Je kan bij het proeven heerlijke eten bestellen. Je kan ook gewoon 1 glas goede wijn bestellen. Tip local restaurant: Agora.

Cons:

De kamer was klein, weinig ruimte voor de koffers. Archanes wordt omschreven als “één van de mooiste dorpen van Kreta.” Dat hebben wij echt niet ervaren. (We hebben rondreis Kreta gedaan) In het voorjaar zie je veel “opknappertjes” en opruimen moet je willen. Er is maar één leuke straat met restaurants.

Wir hatten einen sehr entspannten und abwechslungsreichen Urlaub!
Pros:

Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich, da viele griechische Spezialitäten zusätzlich zum kontinentalen Frühstück angeboten werden.
Die Lage des Hotels ist für viele Aktivitäten sehr gut gelegen.

It was okay but definitely needs some work.
Pros:

Pretty hotel with a lot of stone work, the on site Bistro was very nice with amazing staff. Views were amazing.

Cons:

We booked a room with access to the hot tub which we were not able to use our whole stay. When we first got here, we had a problem with the door to our room not closing and engineers had to be called. The room itself is nice, however, there are no locks on the toilet door and the toilet door and shower door didn’t shut properly. There is also a stove in the room, but with no pots or pans so you can’t use the stove. The breakfast buffet is very small with limited options and the hot food was always cold.
