Great service of the staff , very close to Samaria Gorge

Carmel Israel

Great place up on the plateau. Beds we very comfortable. Easy ride out to the gorge in the morning for free arranged by the hotel. The restaurant was good at the end of the day when the public bus dropped us off.

Dustin United States of America

We stayed for one night to visit Samaria Gorge. The hotel is clearly very well prepared for travellers like us! Very nice dinner, early breakfast that fuels you for a day of hiking. And they provide a shuttle to Samaria. Clean rooms and very friendly people.

Clarice Belgium

It's a classic traveler hotel, perfectly located for hikers who want to travel in Samaria George. There's a shuttle that will drive you to the starting point of the hike in the morning (3 different times). You can get a fresh lunchbox (sandwich, fruit, tomato, egg) for the hike. The place is cozy and warm (and heated in the morning) and Giorge takes care for all your needs just like a caring family member (for example, I missed the ferry and got back later than expected, so he reached out to me to make sure everything is fine with me). The food is great and fresh for dinner and breakfast. I recommend staying at this place for the nights before and after the hike.

Inbal Israel

Lovely little hotel on the mountain plateau which provides a comfortable rest after a day's hike. What we liked the most was the personnel. All really nice people. We enjoyed our stay very much.

David United States of America

Excellent, helpful and careful staff. Very good breakfast, homemade food. In the mountains near the Samaria canyon, many hiking possibilities. The best accommodation in the area. I highly recommend!

Jana Slovakia

Excellent location for walking the Samaria Gorge. Hotel staff were very knowledgeable about early season changes to the opening times to the gorge. Dinner was good, traditional Cretan food. Delicious local wine too.

Madelaine United Kingdom

A service minded manager. Took us to the southside when Samara gorge was closed

Pål Norway

I liked the atmosphere of a mountain hotel; furthermore, the owner gave us the precious tips about wonderful hiking routes in the surroundings.

the Neos Omalos Hotel is the perfect hotel for you if you want to visit the Samaria gorge or just the mountain scenery in generell of Crete. its just 6min with the car to the entrance of samaria but they also offer you a shuttle. The hotel itself is a family business which makes it even more comfortable for you, because the stuff is there all the time and helps you with any kind of needs. the breakfast and dinner was always great, very local and therefor a huge amount of varieties no matter if you are vegetarian or meatlover. the rooms are simple and clean and the beds are really comfortable. We are indeed very picky when it comes to hospitality or hotels in generell and we highly recommend staying in Neos Omalos Hotel!
