8/10 Very good

Overall we enjoyed our three night stay, breakfast was very nice, staff very hospitable and friendly. Room was spacious and bar staff were excellent. I would say the hotel could improve on cleaning, bathroom was a little outdated and we found a cockroach in our room. Staff were very quick to help us however and these things happen. Gym could have better equipment and pool area could be better.

Nice hotel with a central location

Great location near Nea Chora beach and the old town! The rooms are clean and have all the necessary amenities. And most importantly olive oil soaps from ABEA! The pool is not mind-blowing, but considering the central location it couldn't really be much bigger. Some items from room service are a bit expensive, but who could resist ordering drinks directly to the pool? There's only a few parking spots right outside the hotel, but we were lucky to find a vacant one every day. All in all, this is a great place to stay in Chania!

8/10 Very good

This hotel was a lovely hotel, very clean and nice rooms. It was in a great location with easy access to the old town as well as the beaches. The staff were kind and welcoming and the food was nice for breakfast. The Greek are very lovely people who appreciate you being there, which is so nice! The pool was nice and cold which is perfect for the hot weather, and again very clean. Free aircon which I don’t see very often, hairdryer, tv and remote free. There aren’t many Sunbeds so just make sure you go there before 11 if you want to lay by the pool. There wasn’t anyone at the bar very often, we did wait for a drink as we were thirsty sitting by the pool but ended up walking to the shop. Our room was cleaned everyday and towels changed, I have never seen such a clean hotel. The thing that let the rating down is we were unfortunate to have sports teams of girls stay who were very loud until the early hours of the morning and banging on doors. We also had one of them hit the door of our room so hard, it flew wide open. We reported this to reception as we were concerned the rooms weren’t locked properly and if it was to happen again, our belongings could’ve easily been stolen. The response from the man on reception was “oh they’re going soon”, no apology and no reassurance that our door lock was working properly, would’ve like it to have been checked! He seemed very unbothered by this. Unhelpful.

Mixed experience

I booked a Double room, only to walk in and find it was a Twin, no biggie but it was a faff to have to wait in the lobby whilst housekeeping switched it over. Lunch was disappointing and expensive. I travel often and I can say definitively that I have never heard such loud road noise in a hotel room before, it felt like I was sleeping on the pavement and persisted all night. Thankfully the hotel staff were accommodating, eventually moving me to a room on the other side of the hotel, but only after a couple of sleepless nights. I would expect better sound proofing from a hotel of this cost and star rating.

Lovely. I would come again!

Fabulous hotel. Very clean and modern. Friendly staff. Everyone was friendly, from the restaurant staff, the front desk staff and the cleaners. Very lovely people. Daily housekeeping. I had new towels everyday of my stay. Nice breakfast buffet. It did not have the widest selection of food but still nice regardless. I loved my room. The bathroom was very modern and gorgeous. Although I did not request a balcony room, I still had a small balcony anyway which was nice. They do provide beach towels for you, but I never used them (I had my own). I can’t comment on the pool because I never used it, but the garden area is lovely and well maintained. Room service was not the best… I tried to order food to my room once and they did not have much food left. Anyway, it’s always better to eat out. Great location. It’s just a seven minute walk to the beach and bus station. Less than a fifteen minute walk to the old town and main seafront area. There was a great supermarket close to the hotel, which was good to pick up a few extra things for my stay. Overall, I loved my stay here. I would recommend and would come back! :D
