“Highly recommended!!!!”
We had a really lovely stay at Albatros Hotel. The location was ideal – just a few minutes from the beach and close to shops, cafes, and everything we needed. It was very easy to get around and explore the area. Our room was clean, bright, and comfortable, with a nice terrace where we could relax in the evenings. The whole hotel felt well cared for, peaceful, and welcoming. The staff were very friendly, professional, and always ready to help if we had any questions. We felt safe and well looked after during our stay. Overall, a great experience – calm, comfortable, and in a perfect spot for a beach holiday. We would happily come back and recommend it to others.

“Great price/ rate value ratio: comfy apartment near all the great places, but still quiet”
The apartment looks exactly as in the pictures. It is well equipped with everything. Our son really enjoyed the place, especially the pool and the little playground (it is a bit outdated but totally functional). This is a very good location for little kids, the beach is 5 min walk, there is a playground also in 5 min, restaurants (also one with an entire indoor playground). Absolutely recommend for families.

Perfect location and really welcoming hosts. Gave great advice about when to go to Knossos and how to get there. Perfect place for couples. Excellent balcony with views of the sea and mountains. Super friendly little doggo too! Great time all round!

“A great short break for a solo traveller.”
I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was simple but very clean, with all the essentials provided. Nikolas and his brother were incredibly accommodating, even helping with my luggage. He was always available and eager to offer recommendations. The complimentary coffee upon arrival was a nice touch, and he was consistently present at the reception whenever needed. I would definitely recommend this place!

“want to come back”
wonderful hosts, attentive attitude towards guests, like home. excellent location: the beach is no more than a 5-minute walk away, during a storm at sea, the swimming pool at the hotel was a lifesaver (entrance to the sea is free, but if you order anything for 5 euros per person, you can use a deckchair and umbrellas during your entire stay, even the whole day (I recommend Heaven beach). next to the hotel is a very tasty and inexpensive Greek tavern Lazaros. from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the center of Heraklion, there are direct buses number 1 and 6 (the cost is 2.5 euros when buying a ticket from the driver, but there is a supermarket Your market nearby - tickets are 1.5 euros each). The best offers for car rental in Oli at Car4Crete.

“A wonderful place for a couple or a family with children. Great localization and a friendly staff.”
I am very glad that I chose this place for my vacation. Nice clean room, big bed, the room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. What more could you want? Right next to the house there is a clean swimming pool, sun loungers, a bar with delicious food (especially breakfasts). The sea is less than 3 minutes’ walk away. The apartments have an ideal location for both hang loose at sea and for active holidays, which we had (3 minutes from the house there is a bus stop, from where you can easily reach Heraklion or other important places). I would like to personally thank the apartments owner Nikolas for the warm welcome and helping us with everything we needed.
