I was a guest of this hotel for the second time and decided to stay just there because it's "simply the best" as Tina Turner sings. Family atmosphere, professional staff so helpful and warm, excellent breakfasts, and beautiful beach just around. What more could a man want? I'll be back again.

Stayed there the night before flying home. Very close to the airport and car rental offices. Clean room. Good breakfast. Nice garden with a pool. There is no parking lot inside the hotel, but street parking is plentiful. Very nice local restaurants a few steps from the hotel. The staff was very pleasant and efficient.

“We’ll be back for the great service”
Very friendly staff. We stayed for one night after a late flight to Heraklion and we could use the facilities when we went back two weeks later! They also gave us a baby bed for our daughter. Great location near the airport. Taxi’s are everywhere and they charge 18-20 euros.

“A very disappointing stay – cold, noisy, and poor hygiene”
I honestly regret choosing this accommodation for my stay. While the cold and gloomy weather outside certainly didn't help, the internal conditions were the main issue. The biggest problem for me was the bedding. I have a strong aversion to being given old blankets that seem to have been in storage all winter and clearly aren't washed between guests. It felt unhygienic and uncomfortable. Furthermore, the hotel is incredibly noisy. The acoustics are poor, and the sounds from the reception area echoed so loudly it sounded like shouting, which made it very difficult to fall asleep. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience, and I would not recommend staying here.

“Unplanned but very enjoyable under the circumstance.”
The visit was a complete surprise due to circumstance, as it was near the end of the season the hotel was very quite but the staff were excellent and made us most welcome.

“Great value for money, would stay there again”
Very friendly and accommodating staff, the hotel exceeded my expectations considering the price. It was extremely convenient for the airport, only 5-6 minutes in the car. The location of the hotel is close to the National road and near to the landing flight path to the airport so there's inevitable noise but it didn't bother us and the convenience of travel time to get to the airport outweighed any issues with noise. There's a great restaurant/taverna next door to the hotel, again very friendly and lovely food. Across from the hotel is ample waist ground where you can park the car. No parking on the actual hotel site which was slightly disappointing but not the end of the world. Beyond this waist ground is a nice is somewhat run down beach. Great for a seaside walk before breakfast. The breakfast was good, plenty of choices and again excellent value for money. We would definitely use the hotel again.
