Very centrally located...nice junior suite room. Very spacious, clean,quiet.Only gripe about the room was there wasn't any mirror in the room only the one in the bathroom. Staffs were very nice...especially both the Staeus(not sure I spelled correctly). Food at their restaurant was amazing.Staeus made sure my nutrional needs(GF) are met on the day we arrived and was very careful about cross contamination.They even send breakfast on the night before we were leaving as we had to catch early morning flight. Their courtyard is very beautiful... Overall I would stay here again!

The staff at the Avli was extraordinarily helpful and very gracious. The hotel is very attractive, and it is part of an establishment that includes multiple very good restaurants. The breakfasts (included) were great, and we had the best meal of our ten days in Crete at their fine dining establishment. There were only two downsides to our time at the hotel: the first is that our room fronted onto a street with multiple bars that served late into the night, and there was considerable noise. The other was that because there was no grab bar on the jacuzzi tub in our bathroom, one of our party found it very difficult to get into the tub to bathe. The hotel gets very high marks for excellent service, but the street noise could be a problem for some visitors.
