Great place to stay in the centre of Crete

The hotel is of a great build quality. Awesome views of the mountain range. Pool is a good generous size and pleasant to hang out. Breakfast was excellent quality for €10. Rooms are comfortable, albeit a bit small.

Thanks Alexander & crew

Remotely situated place in a small vilage that really surprised us. Its a big place with interesting interior and wonderful outdoor terasse and pool However it seemed like the hotel pool was a playground for all kids in the area and as much as i appreciate that it made it close to impossible to use the pool in the daytime. Sitting on the terasse was a noisy experience, but as long as the kids very happy it was ok. Breakfast and other things destined fir your stomach were reasonably priced and there were a few nice restaurants in the village

On tour in Crete

Spectacular place with all facilities. Very hard to find if you are a tourist. Steep tortuous roads. Old fashioned vibe with decor, but room and service and facilities good.

If you want a quiet mountain retreat, this is the place. Don't expect tourists, or tourist focused activities. It's a tiny town in the mountains. Perfect if you want peace, mountains, trails, and to meet real local people who aren't putting on a show for tourists.

6/10 Good

Somewhat misleading photos compared to the state the hotel/ apartments are actually in. Felt quite run down in some areas. Dirty area around the pool. Apartment smelt of smoke, was dirty everywhere, and the aircon didn’t really work. It was fine for a 1 night, but any more than that and you are better off finding somewhere else.

2/10 Poor

Très mécontente J avais réservé 2 chambres deluxe avec 2 grands lits. Nous sommes arrivés le soir, on nous a dit que l hotel était fermé et on nous a logé dans un appartement froid, pas très propre, une sdb minuscule et 2 petites chambres dont une avec 2 petits lits. Nous sommes partis dès le lendemain matin. Nous ne sommes pas restés Il aurait fallu nous prévenir qqes jours avant, je pense. C est très incorrect.

Rent och snyggt i klassisk stil. Placerad i en idyllisk liten autentisk by med fantastiska vyer över Kretas höga berg. Vägarna hit är smala och mycket, mycket krokiga.

Le bâtiment central était fermé, donc on a été surclassé dans une suite. Celle-ci était spacieuse, moderne avec de petites attentions, fruit, bouteilles d'eau, dosettes pour café... Par contre dommage que la partie centrale de l hôtel était fermée, du coup pas de bar ou de transat.

Could have been special

Must be really exciting during the spring/summer, but no so in December. It is not the easiest to find either. When we arrived thought that it was completely closed. After 10 minutes of head scratching it became apparent that the doors have no handles but must be opened by digging your nails into the soft part and pulling to the side. This was no glitch as it was the case all over the property. In addition, dinner is very odd in that there's a bunch of staff or just random people hanging out while a loud movie is playing in the background with no one watching. This is a shame since the hotel itself looks beautiful.

Завтрак скромный, в ресторане на ужин предложили пасту и пиццу, греческий салат. Мы жили в вилле, на 6 вилл один маленький бассейн, но уже было не жарко. Красивый интерьер в холле.

Świetne miejsce. Pokoje codziennie sprzątane wraz z wymianą pościeli. Bar przy basenie. Piękne widoki okolicy. Hotel na poziomie. Estetyka z klasą. Smaczne jedzenie, choć po sezonie wybór jest mniejszy niż w menu. Polecam

A nice mountain hotel on the island of Crete

I chose this hotel not only because of the favorable price compared to the beach properties in August, but because of its location too - it's similarly near (or far) to Chania (where my airport was) and Heraklion, which is the main city on the island. Not to mention Rethymo, which is probably the most charming town in Crete. The room size and condition is very good, the whole hotel looks nice and charming. Their breakfast is quite good, the wifi... I didn't even think about it, that's how good it was. The mountain air is great, nights are cool and the sleep quality is just great - and it's so quiet in this little village in the middle of the mountain. Oh, and it's very, very clean! The only minus for me was the reception working hours (7-21), but that didn't limit my freedom, even though I was leaving very early - they told me to just drop the keys at the reception. It would only be a problem if you arrive very late - but this just wasn't my case.
