Old Town, Palaiochora, 73001, Greece –

Lock in a great price for Aris Hotel – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything else, good breakfast, nice room although a little bit small - but not a problem. The owners are very nice, the location is quiet and not far from the beach or center of the village - a few minutes walk. All in all, we had a wanderfull time at Aris, and if you are not bothered by the few noses that you can hear from the neighbours(the guests of the hotel are very quiet anyway :) ), it is a perfect choice.

Friendly, competent, and memorable staff. This place instantly feels like an old friend, I mean that in a good way!

Everything! True Greek seaside experience in a beautiful little town. The breakfast was delicious and healthy with local food. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern with amazing ocean views. I wish I had known that these small towns are where you want to stay. Because we have 4 kids, we were under the impression we had to stay in a big beach resort town. However, my kids (especially us parents) loved Aris Hotel and didn’t miss the loud music, bungy jumping, amusement park feel of northern Crete. The Host was so very helpful and honest with his opinions on local attractions. We appreciated this, instead of the gimmicky salesman ship of the resort towns. Every single staff member was warm and welcoming.

Very helpful and friendly staff that gave us useful and honest suggestions on what to see during our short trip. The hotel is a stone's throw away both from the beach and the town centre. Good breakfast with local produce and their home grown special olive oil. I would highly recommend a stay there to anyone visiting the charming town of Paleochora.

Location a bit remote from downtown, but close to beach - and anyway Paleochora is very small, so in fact you are 5 min away from center where all the tavernas are located Good bed/mattress, clean and pleasant bedsheet Tasty breakfast, good quality - the coffee should be improved though Lots of greenery inside hotel's perimeter

Clean comfortable. Near a little beach and great restaurants. Our host Aris and his staff made us very welcome and gave helpful suggestions for places to visit in the area. Breakfasts were great. Sitting under the pergola listening to Santana or Queen or Leonard Cohen from the excellent vinyl collection with a drink in the evening. Lounge and library a bonus We will return. And recommend this delightful hotel in relaxing Paleochora to our friends in Australia

The breakfast was excellent. It offered a wide range of healthy, fresh options of locally produced food. The location was far enough away from the town centre to offer us peace and quiet, yet near enough to everything that we clould walk everywhere within 10 minutes. However, the best feature of The Aris Hotel are the people there, who offer a great service and are so friendly and genuinely helpful.

The hotel is noisy, but not from the outside noise, but from the inside. You can hear your neighbours when they close/open the door, when they flush the water from the toilets, etc.
Everything else, good breakfast, nice room although a little bit small - but not a problem. The owners are very nice, the location is quiet and not far from the beach or center of the village - a few minutes walk.
