It was small, nice three star hotel with beautiful garden full of flowers. The hotel was placed about 10 min walk from center of the city, and 3 min to nearest shop. The beach was 15 min walk from the hotel.

Nice family run place. we used this hotel for one night as we didn't want to risk our lives driving to west crete in the dark, after getting into heraklion airport late.

I forgot to do a review from my stay last year and was looking the hotel up for another stay this yr. You can talk to the owner W/O much trouble at all. Clean and you have great people as owners that will help you any way they can! Above avg. for the price, great beach right down the road.

We stayed at this Hotel for a couple of nights last week 15/06/08 17/06/08 we found it to be a little tired. The owners were I have to say very friendly and helpful The Buffet breakfast was a little limited , but overall we quite enjoyed our stay As it was a very reasonable price.

Lovely basic hotel, close to shops, restaurants, beach and airport. Very clean. However, found it very hard to communicate if you did not know Greek.
