We asked for a quiet room and even though the hotel didn't reply, we were put in very quiet room. The only thing I would change would be to have a mattress protector under the sheet and a bigger top sheet and blanket as it was a bit small. The room was immaculate.

Beds & pillows were comfy. Hotel was quiet. Check in desk stayed open until midnight when I arrived and was very kind on the phone and in person... even at midnight! Upper front rooms have balcony and slight view of ocean. Toilet was leaking, hotel is a little old, but the property is kept up very nicely. Five-minute walk to village & beach. Amazing hotel for the price of $44! Didn't use shower or pool and didn't eat breakfast--only stayed one night. Hotel is a 1-1/2 hour drive from HER airport on a steep winding road.

Hotel Esperides is a lovely quiet hotel on the main road just across from the road into Myrtos, a quiet tourist town on the southern coast of Crete. Wonderful breakfast for 9 euros per person, with large assortment of foods. Small elevator available. Very accommodating when we arrived early from the ferry to Heraklion, Crete; we were able to purchase breakfast even before check in, and they got 2 rooms ready for us an hour or so before their usual check in time. Also arranged taxi back to Heraklion for us for the day we left. Easy walk into Myrtos and to the beach. Free parking for those who had cars. Mostly European tourists; lots of families. Would definitely stay there again.

Very nice place! Excellent value. Some wear around the edges, but well cared for and great service. Room was very comfortable and clean. Pool and public areas were good. Breakfast bar was delicious with many options. Close walk to beach and main town area, but far enough away to avoid the crowd if you wanted. Great value for the price!

Bis auf die Servicekraft für die Zimmerreinigung unfreundliche Mitarbeiter. Anonymität wird hier groß geschrieben. Das Hotel müsste renoviert werden. Zum Schlafen und frühstücken reicht es. Ansonsten hat ein Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft nichts mit einem Hotelurlaub gemein.

Budgetboende. Poolen okey. Duschen liten med ett mögligt draperi och trasigt duschfäste och en trasig duschdraperistång. Verkar inte bry sig. Dålig fjärrkontroll till AC. Okey personal. Inget utöver det vanliga för en gäst. Vill man bo billigt och väldigt enkelt är det okey med detta hotell. Ok frukost.
