Wonderful accommodations, very convenient to the airport, free parking, and they made us a breakfast box to take on our early morning flight!
United States of AmericaThis hotel reminded me of the Danielli in Venice in the early 1980s. It is the classic old school hotel that has been perfectly renovated. Plus fantastic happy helpful staff. A find. Stay here. It’s right down the block from the ferry, to boot. Outstanding!
United States of AmericaService could not have been better. The staff was friendly and always went the extra mile. We really enjoyed the hotel restaurant-- amazing salads!
United States of AmericaThe best breakfast in Crete!! The variety of specialties and the freshness of everything is beyond ! The staff both the reception & the lovely ladies in the cafe are exceptionally attentive and helpful! This elegant hotel is just a short walk to the historic port which has in particular two excellent restaurants and just a short walk to both the main bus station and port . To top it off the rooftop pool with the most comfortable lounge mattresses overlooking the port make it a place to remember. You won’t want to leave!!

United States of AmericaGreat location. Close to everything. Staff is fantastic. Room was very comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better stay.
United States of AmericaExceptional service and accommodations! Delicious, ample breakfast. Friendly and welcoming staff.
United States of AmericaThere were many of my favorite things that this hotel took my great interest in. I love the rooftop pool, the ease of ordering food, and enjoying the poolside. The breakfast buffet with a huge variety of foods- greek and continental. I also appreciated the steps they took for COVID safety such as wearing gloves and masks for everybody while buffet. The beds were amazing and so were all the facilities and politeness of the staff. I also had an amazing view of the harbor from the room.
United KingdomWhat a great experience. The hotel is lovely with nice rooms and a nice pool and a great breakfast. But the staff was so helpful and gracious, even adjusting our reservation when we had trouble with the connecting flight and arrived a day late. . . Terrific!
United States of AmericaGood bed, cleanliness, service and breakfast. Bus station is located at the back exit of The hotel so it is very easy to travel to any city site
