Ontas Traditional Hotel  

We enjoyed the friendly staff who was more than accommodating ensuring our stay in Crete although short was enjoyable. The location was optimal giving us the best experience around the seaside. Close to Airport and City Centre. Overall an excellent experience. Thanks.

The Ontas hotel is a traditional, charming hotel, situated in a very nice and interesting area of Hania. The harbour is nearby and a morning walk till the lighthouse is very pleasant. The hotel is an old venitian house, the rooms are spacious and very clean, with traditional wooden furniture. The reception is full of authentic, local artefacts and make you feel as you were at home. They came to pick me up at the Hania ariport as I arrived late in the evening. Filia, the receptionist, who was always ready to help you with anything, offered to go with me in the mountain village Drakona to taste the wonderful slow cook food in a local taverna Dounias. I enjoyed the food and the warm welcoming as well as in the true vegetarian and organic food restaurant To Stachi, situated just a few steps in the back of the hotel. Kalizounia, maratopita, spinach and potato pita, stuffed zucchini flowers, stuffed wine leaves, bergamot sweet are just some of the delicious dishes I tasted and the kind restaurant owner gave me a very precious cooking advice and recipes. Nowedays, you can`t easily find something like that during your holiday. Bravo!!!

Ontas location. Hania's port is just a corner away. Excellent staff. One of the MOST helpful staff we have ever encountered. She (Filia) gave us a lot of great suggestions that you will never find in travel books. Great value for money. Complimentary Raki (Local produced spirit) and very well equipped kitchen where coffee and honey are available for free.

A bar located next door can be noisy at times. However, it didnt bother us at all (we stay at 3rd floor and didnt hear anything).

The staff was very helpful and gave us lots of very good tips, such as nice beaches outside town and nice places to visit around the airport before flying back to London.

L'albergo è piccolo ma molto carino e la signorina che lo gestisce è estremamente gentile. Gli ambienti sono piccoli ma arredati con gusto e in modo tradizionale.

The building is fabulous, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The quad room at the top is very charming: it has a lower gallery with two single beds, and a mezzanine with a double.

Some of the fixtures need a little bit of work, especially in the bathroom.

Better on the inside than on the outside. We had a spacious, split level room with a double bed in a loft area. A nice balcony for sitting outside or for drying clothes. Great location in the Old Town and near the little harbour and lots of great restaurants.

No Wifi in the room, but available downstairs. No breakfast on offer.

Great location and the staff were excellent. There was no staff permanently on site but they left us the run of the place with access to clean linen and the kitchen. The kitchen was stocked with some basics (coffee, bread, butter, jam, milk and oranges) which was free for guest use. Free wifi was available at reception and our first floor room. A nice touch was the owner giving us some oranges for our car trip on departure.

One of the beds duvees smelt. There were two dogs opposite our window which barked at anyone who walked down the alley in between which made it quite noisy until the bars closed.

l'ottima posizione e la disponibilità dello staff.

Il pavimento del bagno era sempre bagnato. La camera non è mai stata rifatta, ho visto una persona soltanto quando sono arrivata. Per pagare ho dovuto telefonare e mi è stato proposto di lasciare I soldi sul banco. Non ho accettato e ho rivisto il proprietario (?).

Sehr nettes Hotel und Besitzer.
