Best hotel I've stayed in Crete so far (I've stayed in over 6 already) The rooms are modern and soundproofed with double glazed windows and AC. The breakfast is amazing, fresh orange juice with a selection of healthy fresh bread and local /international produce.

A good stay with one disappointment.

Booked a partial sea view but were not allocated one. Our room overlooked the garden which although pleasant enough it is not what we booked. Yiannis did apologise but it makes me insecure about what room I might be given if I wish to stay again,

Kommer tilbake år etter år. Vakker hage. Deilig takterasse med hengekøyer som man kan ligge å se på stjernene i, eller titte ut over havet. Nydelig frokost. Rom vaskes og pyntes hver dag. Vil helst ikke at så mange skal oppdage dette hotellet og Paleochora, vi vil at det skal forbli stille og rolig. Langt vekk fra turistmaskiner.

Die Zimmer waren schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Auch das Personal war äußerst freundlich und rund um die Uhr erreichbar. Eine klare Empfehlung, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Nice hotel with friendly staff

Nice hotel with very friendly staff and beautiful location. The hotel is a 5 min walk from the town center overlooking the sea. Rooms are quite small and especially the bathrooms are tiny. Breakfast is really nice with fresh vegetables and fruit. We had issues with the toilet not working which can happen but staff was very helpful. I think the value for money is very good.
