Great family stay

It's been great stay with family. Room was very comfortable, simple furnishing and large balcony. Pool area is very quiet, just lie down and relax while having beautiful flowers and fruit trees around. Restaurant and mini market are just 100m away, you can easily walk to nearby villages which has more tavernas and markets like 1-3km or use bus that comes every 20min. I recommend this place for those looking for peace and quiet location, even beach area during the season time is not crowded. Chania Old town is just 40min drive.

Vi reiste 3 venninner på tur og Golden Rose Suites hadde alt vi ønsket oss! Rolig atmosfære, godt renhold, store rom og veldig god service! Vi ble så godt tatt hånd om av Elenni og mannen hennes og følte oss veldig trygge! Bussforbindelsene var også upåklagelige, da bussen stoppet rett utenfor hotellet og gikk inn til sentrum hvert 20.minutt (dette fikk vi også god informasjon om fra eierne). Alt i alt et nydelig opphold - vi kommer tilbake!

Petit hôtel agréable avec une jolie piscine et un joli parterre de roses dans le jardin. Nous sommes arrivées tard, en ayant réservé 15 min avant suite à un imprévu. La propriétaire nous a accueillie très gentiment et était confuse de ne pas avoir la chambre totalement prête. La chambre faisait un peu vieillote par rapport au reste de l’hôtel mais elle était spacieuse et confortable avec un joli balcon terrasse. Petit déjeuné agréable dans une salle lumineuse donnant sur le jardin et la piscine.

10/10 The perfect holiday!

Kamissiana is a cosy and welcoming little village, this was a wonderful relaxing experience all round. All services were close by and the beach was about 5minutes walk away. Our room was very spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. Inside the courtyard there was a sheltered swimming pool with beach chairs, and the breakfast was varied and tasty. The hotel hosts were helpful and lovely, a heartfelt thank you to Eleni and her husband!!!

Very clean hotel, daily room cleaning. Very welcoming and attentive staff. Magnificent flower garden very well maintained. Very nice pool area. The last day we had to leave very early in the morning for our return to the airport, and the manager prepared the breakfast buffet for us at 6:30 am instead of normally 8:00 am. I highly recommend, and I will be happy to come back if possible.

Don't trust anything on this hotel info

To say the least it was horrible. The address on the website for the hotel was incorrect so we had a hard time finding it. After finally finding it at 3am the lady working the desk barely spoke English and after checking out after the first night she never recorded our compliant (not only wrong address, but wrong pictures) so now we're having a hard time getting a refund. dont book. Also, the hotel area is horrible.

Dejligste ophold!

Vi havde et fantastik ophold hos Eleni og Costas, på Golden Rose Suites. Det sødeste par der gjorde alt for at få en til at føle sig hjemme og som familie. Beliggenheden var måske, for nogen, ikke præferabel, da det ligger et stykke ude, væk fra butikker og turistlignende ting. Vi der imod ønskede et stille ophold og havde ikke noget imod 1 km gåtur til minimarkedet. Hvis man manglede noget var der også en lille kiosk overfor, men med lidt højere priser. Helt sikkert et sted man skal tage hen hvis man ønsker et fredeligt ophold, ikke har noget imod afstandende og har bil. Vi kan helt klart anbefale hotellet!

Self-catering suites in Kolybari, Chania

Great little family run hotel. Only 12 or so rooms of varying sizes - we had a family suite comprising 2 rooms, a living room with 2 sofa beds containing a small kitchen area, and a bedroom for 2 people. Rooms of a good size, although no aircon in the main bedroom which was an occasional problem when temperatuire was 30 and still 25 at night. The owners could not have been more helpful - they always seemd to be available, and even brought us breakfast on the first day when we had missed the official timing. Good sized pool and pool area. No wifi in bedrooms but only in a limited area at and very close to Reception.
