Lovely owners, and a very clean apartment with a comfortable bed. Room had free water in the fridge, and Raki. The apartment complex is right on the beach, and I felt very safe walking back at night (I travelled alone). A great place to stay for a relaxing beach break!

Impeccably clean room next to the beach with plenty of amenities and a well kept garden. Small crowded pool unfortunately shared with other properties. Excellent restaurants nearby as is a supermarket with large selections of drinks. Good value for a room, albeit it is small, in the better part of Platanias. Also close to bus stop for visits to Chania. Two rows of sun beds managed by this property on the beach at 10euros per day which can add up to a hefty bill! Also beware tourist taxes at end of stay!

This place is a hidden gem. Prime location, oceanfront, the beach and ocean is right there. Everything you need in a little flat. The place is well maintained by its owners, it is extremely clean. The place has pool access, with tons of shopping, restaurants, and grocery shops nearby.

Het was een mooie kamer met prachtig uitzicht op zee. Jammer dat de airconditioning boven op het bed gericht was. Die kon snachts dus eigenlijk niet aan. Wat wel tegen viel was dat je per dag €5 p.p. moest betalen voor de strandbeden, dat had eigenlijk vooraf vermeld moeten worden. Het was wel raar dat er een camera op het balkon hing, voel je je toch wat bekeken.

Fikk tildelt rom i nabobygg (Leonidas), som fungerte veldig bra. Terrasse uten utsikt (ikke bestilt utsikt), men i behagelig skygge om ettermiddagen. Basseng område ved restauranten Sonio kunne benyttes, men vi var mest på stranden. Dette lå rett ved siden av hotellbygningene. Restauranten var meget bra med god mat og vennlig betjening. Ikke nødvendig å finne noen andre restauranter for å spise med flott utsikt og god mat. Solsenger på stranden betales direkte på stranden, som er 20 meter fra hotelrommet.

Vi hadde en flott uke på Katerina Seaside Studios. Vii hadde altan/rom med utsikt til havet og stranden . 2 min til sandstranden og gode solsenger. Nydelig frokost på restauranten vegg i vegg. Rent og pent. Hyggelig vertskap . Gode senger. Sentralt til butikker og godt utvalg av spisesteder. Trygt og godt. Kommer gjerne tilbake .

Skønt hotel med de sødeste ejere. Vi skulle skifte værelse midt på ugen (fordi vi blev tilbudt en opgradering til havudsigt de første tre dage, hvilket vi sagde ja til) - det var lidt svært at få at vide præcis hvornår vi skulle skifte værelse, men det var fuldstændig problemfrit når det kom til stykket. Alt i alt et vildt hyggeligt lille hotel helt ned til stranden med søde ejere. Jeg vil roligt anbefale dette sted og kunne også selv finde på at besøge det igen.

From the second we arrived, the owners were so lovely and friendly. We were shown to our room where there was a carraffe of raki, a bottle of wine and a bottle of water waiting for us. Not only that but soap, shower gel and shampoo, perfect for if you've not packed any. To top it off there were also slippers! We went for a room with a sea view which was lovely. There were sun beds on the beach provided by the owners which was literally meters from the studios. We would certainly stay here again.

So nice to have wonderful local people look after you as they told us the best restaurants and cheapest buses etc. Also the property could not be more perfect, a pool right next door and the beach a literal stone throw away!!

Lite koselig overnattingssted med flott utsikt utover strand/havet. Vertskapet var meget hyggelige. Når vi ankom sto det både vin og raki som velkomstgave. 2 kvelden kom hotelleieren inn på rommet med nystekt lunsj til oss. Reiser gjerne tilbake, og anbefaler dette overnattingsstedet.

Sehr zu empfehlen!

Wer einen angenehmen, ruhigen Urlaub ohne Luxusansprüche zu stellen sucht, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Das Inhaber-Ehepaar ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend sowie hilfsbereit. Gleiches gilt für das Personal. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und wer ein Zimmer mit Meerblick hat, wird das zu schätzen wissen: wundervolle Sonnenhof- und Untergänge Meeresrauschen beim Einschlafen und Aufwachen. Hier hat man die Möglichkeit seinen Urlaub selbst zu gestalten ohne Animateure und sonstige Unterhaltungsprogramme. Der kleine Zweiplattenherd reicht aus um sich je nach Laune selbst eine Kleinigkeit zu kochen und Frühstückseier sowie Kaffee zuzubereiten. Restaurants, Bars, Badestrand, Wellnessangebote etc. befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Jos hotels.comin sivuilla sanotaan aurinkovarjojen- ja tuolien olevan käytettävissänne niin eikö se tarkoita niiden silloin sisältyvän hotellihintaan? Meitä tultiin rahastamaan tuolien käytöstä ja hotellin emäntä ei ollut tyytyväinen kun emme meinanneet maksaa. Lisäksi hotellin isäntäpariskunnan koira haukkui aina kun hotelliin tuli sisälle eli joskus jopa keskellä yötä tai varhain aamulla.
