Koselig hotell, med enkel standard

Enkel standard, dusj uten dusjoppheng. Svært liten balkong. Bodde der en hel uke, for lenge med enkel standard. Kjøleskapet skittent ved ankomst. ellers upåklagelig renhold under oppholdet. Svært hyggelige innehavere.

Mahtava näkymä

Hotellin parvekkeelta on mahtava näkymä lahdelle. Huone on hyvin yksinkertainen varustukseltaan, mutta varsin riittävä minun ja kumppanini tarpeisiin. Suihku oli hivenen kehno. Hotellin omistaja on hyvin herttainen ja otti meidät vastaan hyvin hnekilökohtaisell otteella.

Beautiful view from the balcony

This is my second time staying at the hotel. The Good: The view from the balcony is exceptional and the prices very reasonable. It is located right next to where the ferry drops you off hence not to much walking while loaded with your suitcases. The beds are comfortable and the room in generally clean. The not so good: The bathrooms are extremely small and in bad shape. Takes a bit of effort to adjust the water temperature while taking a shower. Leaky sink and flushing tank. Moisture and peeling on the ceiling. NONE OF WHICH was enough for me to choose not to go back. I can personally deal with that even if I don't like it. The Bad: While the owner is a pleasant person to work with in general...this is true only when there is no misunderstanding of any sort. The professionalism level decreases to non existent once there is a problem. No apologies, no attempts to rectify the situation, and to my biggest surprise not even the slightest attempt to diffuse the tension. Contrary to that, she will "fight" to the end...to the point that You as a customer will give up. The bottom line: If you don't get in an argument or there is no misunderstanding with your booking and if you manage to contact them before you get there, your stay could be enjoyable and at a reasonable price. As for me, I will be staying somewhere else next summer.

Loutro is beautiful, but not worth staying for more than 1 night. I would reccomend a day trip instead. The hotel was lovely, very clean, great views, AC, terrible WIFI. Only 1 baby crib, so make sure to request it, or bring your own solution. The owner was lovely, and all the staff were great.

Lovely Loutro

Loutro is wonderful and the hotel was perfectly positioned and the room fantastic- basic but that's all we needed. Be careful when ordering as some waiters don't speak English that well, but then I don't speak Greek! We did not catch the ferry at all, we walked and it was fantastic. Don't forget to stop at Sweetwater Bay for a swim.

hôtel 1*

salle d'eau minuscule avec mini bac de douche sans rideau, on arrose donc la salle d'eau. Plus un lavabo et wc, une ouverture dans le mur sans vitre à l'ouverture. une porte fenêtre donnant sur une belle terrasse commune à 3 appartements, mais cette porte fenêtre tient fermée par un maigre clou. Donc ça reste très sommaire. Par contre la vue est fabuleuse, on est vraiment au calme et l'accueil est vraiment avenant. Et le prix est très abordable

Nice hotel, the owner makes you feel very welcome

Unfortunately the only bad experience was that the hotel had not been notifies of our booking, luckily she had enough rooms to accomodate us, the owner is very friendly and helpful and made our stay a very pleasant experience, there are quite a.few steps up to the rooms, but this is common with most hotels in Loutro - we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again

Fin plass, men labert hotell. Ville ikke kalle det et hotell. Ikke varmt vann om morgenen, slitt inventar og utstyr som ikke virker. Dyrt i forhold til standard. Finner du et annet ledig rom i Loutro, så ta det......

Otroligt läge! Sämre standard.

Sifis hotell har ett otroligt läge vid kanten av byn Loutro. Hotellet har en fin lounge vid vattnet där det serveras frukost, lunch och middag. Hotellrummen är mer eller mindre förfallna. Dåliga, obekväma sängar, icke-fungerande air-condition och ett mycket högljutt sorl från serveringen fram till 01:00. Servicen är dock felfri. Otroligt härlig personal och hotellägare. De hjällper dig med allt! Letar du efter sol och bad är Loutro fel. Stränderna är sådär. Är du på vandringssemester och vill äta god mat med härlig utsikt är Loutro fantastiskt. Vill du sova extra skönt efter en hård vandringsstrapats kanske Sifis måste köpa in nya sängar innan du bokar dem...

Fint familidrevet hotell for folk som liker å ha det stille og rolig. Bare noen minutters gange til den mere travle delen av Agi Marina, med butikker, restauranter og strender. Behagelig atsmofære og hyggelig betjening som vil deg alt vel.

En drøm av et hotell og et sted!

Jeg kan ikke få lovprist Loutro og Sifis Hotell nok. Jeg hadde bestilt fire netter på hotellet, og ble møtt av Christina, hotellets vertinne, ved ankomst. Hun tok imot meg som en venn selv om det er to år siden jeg var der sist. Hotellet ligger vakkert til i havnen i Loutro. Hit kommer ingen biler. Man må gå eller ta båt. Derfor er atmosfæren så rolig. Rommene er relativt enkle, men det er jo alle rom jeg har bodd på på sørkysten av Kreta. Alle rom har havsutsikt. Frokost serveres på bryggekanten rett utenfor hotellet. Her er det også fint å få noe kaldt å drikke på ettermiddagen. I Loutro er det flott å gå turer, både til stille badestrender, opp i fjellet og gjennom Aradenakløften.
