Lovely, boutique sized hotel. Good sized rooms & bathroom. Comfortable fairly private balcony. Breakfast has a variety of choice. There’s a bar and option to get snacks. Short walk to a lively town with lots of restaurants, bars & shops. Approximately 10 minute easy walk to sandy beaches. Have stayed here 5 times and certainly would book again.

Ottimo hotel

Hotel perfetto sotto tutti gli aspetti. Letti comodissimi ( muniti di topper), pulizia incessante, colazione ricchissima, massima attenzione alle esigenze dei clienti, personale cordiale e molto professionale. Possibilità di parcheggiare l'auto gratuitamente in un apposito spazio antistante l'hotel. Quando abbiamo lasciato l'hotel ci hanno regalato due bottiglie di acqua minerale per il viaggio di ritorno. Voto: 10 e lode.

Flott hotell, god beliggenhet og fantastisk servic

Flott hotell, kjempegod service. Størrelsen på hotellet gjør det intimt og koselig, midt i tradisjonsrike Paleochora, her kan man oppleve Kreta autentisk og komfortabelt. Kommer gjerne tilbake hit.

Tredje gang på dette hotellet. Relativt god standard og svært god frokost. Begynner å bli litt slitt i forhold til første gang jeg var her, får derfor ikke toppkarakter. Sentral beliggenhet nær strand og sentrum

Very pleasant 4 star hotel with comfortable large beds and good sized rooms. Hotel rooms are beginning to be a little dated with no remote control of the A/C and the wall control taped up to prevent changes of the mode or set a sleep timer. Bathroom was large but also in need of an update. Hotel is well situated for both beaches and a short walk from the main pedestrianised restaurant and bar areas. Or room was very quiet but roadside rooms may be noisier
