The hotel staff are lovely and very helpful, the location was great, the room was clean but small with no window, as it was interior facing, which felt stuffy and dark. I recommend asking specifically for an outward facing room if you stay here. And I highly recommend that the hotel clarifies what an internal room means on booing sites. I would rate it as 4 stars, definitely not 5 stars, as everything that would rate it higher costed extra- Breakfast was not included, parking was not included- so just he aware when booking. Overall it was fine for two nights.

Mixed Experience – Great Location, But Service and Amenities Fall Short Parking was a nightmare. There is no proper entry or driveway to pull up to the hotel entrance and unload luggage. I had to call hotel while cycling. Parking costs €20 per day, required to give a 20-minute notice. The pool closes at 7 PM, not 8 PM as advertised online. Breakfast was especially underwhelming at €23 per person. The bacon was dry, likely left out too long, and the croissants tasted two days old. despite being in Crete—known for its incredibly fresh and sweet watermelon, peaches...the hotel served what tasted like commercialized fruit. There are so many better breakfast options around the area. Having been spoiled by good meals throughout Greece, this breakfast was a letdown. Service was inconsistent. When valet returned our car, the staff member walked off without assisting with luggage—leaving me standing there with tip in hand and bags waiting to be loaded. On the day of our arrival, the receptionist seemed impatient and unprofessional. However, the next morning, a different staff member at the front desk was very courteous and professional. The hotel’s best feature is its convenient location.for last-minute shopping or an overnight stay before a flight. I wouldn’t recommend it for longer stays or for those looking for warm service and quality.

Confortable rooms

The room was great and the bed was comfortable. The cleaners were friendly and did a great job. The breakfast was varied and lovely. The hotel was well located for transport and trips. The reception staff let the hotel down in my opinion. However, there are many eateries nearby where the staff are friendly and warm.
