“Perfect location and another fabulous stay”
Perfect location next to the Port with plenty of bars and tavernas nearby . Nostos ( the onsite restaurant ran by the same family ) is one of the best in Georgiopolis. Will be back soon for sure

“I would give ithe Riverside 4.9/5”
The breakfast buffet was more than adequate both in quantity & quality & the staff most pleasant & helpful. My room & ensuite were spotlessly clean & very spacious. The location was very central but also very quiet

“Great location, helpful staff, lovely room”
This is a great base close to the village centre, from which to explore. A simple breakfast is provided which adds to the great value for money for our stay. The Nostos resteraunt is part of the family business. The meals we had here were delicious.

Fantastic hotel in Georgioupoli, that exceeded our expectations! The location is perfect, just a 5–7 minute walk from both Kalivaki Beach and Georgioupoli Beach. We had booked an apartment which was spacious, ideal for a family. The place was spotless, with daily cleaning that made everything even more comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, and the hotel’s restaurant served delicious Greek dishes for lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. It’s also a great base for exploring Crete, being only 45–50 minutes from Chania and 30 minutes from Rethymno. Overall, a fantastic experience.

“Very friendly place and perfect for a short stay.”
Really lovely, welcoming, helpful staff and easy check in. Good central location but bit tricky to park, it's just parking on the streets around the hotel and it was the weekend so very busy when we arrived and it was hard to find a spot nearby. The room was just as described but quite basic. Comfortable enough for the one night we were staying and it a 2 minute walk to the beach and all the bars and restaurants but was very quiet at night. We had a lovely breakfast in their restuantant which was included.
