Excellent small and peaceful boutique hotel in a stunning location with beautiful views over the sea and a short walk to the beach in one direction and to the village in the other direction. Many shops and restaurants in easy reach of the hotel, whether at the beach or in the village. Supermarket opposite the hotel for essentials. Easy parking opposite the hotel. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Excellent breakfast. Our room was wonderful, a family suite perfect for our family of four. Comfortable beds, balcony with stunning view, fridge, safe, excellent a/c and other essentials. Can't vouch for the other rooms but paying extra for the sea view is certainly worth it.

Situated on shore in a central location with many restaurants nearby. Breakfast was excellent. Room was fine, if basic. Hotel has a small parking lots a few hundred meters distant. On street parking looks doable. The hotel offered a nice farewell gift. Overall, pleasant. It undoubtedly will be nicer when weather is warmer, the pool is usable, and the activity on the shore is busier.

We arrived early as I was suffering from food poisoning. They let us checkin early and have us a better room because it was clean. That is mercy and compassion. Beautiful sea views from our balcony. A+ stay.

The most amazing views! Very convenient to walk and enjoy Agia Galini from the hotel. The breakfast was really good. Parking in shade. Wish we had booked to stay longer…we will next time. We were upgraded to an apartment on the third floor - the views are even more spectacular

Nice hotel but not 4 stars
Nice hotel but not 4 stars. Pros are service (all service providers were charming), breakfast was very good, and the sea view is amazing (a big plus for the breakfast). Cons are that the swimming pool is well below expectations: small, shallow (1.10m) and some of the rooms have doors and outside tables that literally touch the pool - I felt I am intruding their privacy when using the pool. Room was way too small, especially the bathroom, and even more - the shower. My room had view to the parking and noise from the street (the main street of the village). There were no sea view rooms available. Of them, I found those on the lower level to be too close to the pool and the public space.

Everything Perfect Except for Air Conditioning
The hotel is clean and well kept and our room had a balcony which faced the sea so we could enjoy the sea breeze. Without this it would have been very uncomfortable as our the air conditioner was not functioning. It was pre set and although it hummed and blasted air this definitely was not cold air and the room was hot and stuffy. I feel that a hotel with 4 star rating should have an air conditioner that works!!

onderfu location and friendly staff
The hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking the sea and within walking distance of the town centre with its numerous bars and restaurants, and the beach. Definitely value for money!! The room is modern, bright, very clean and well maintained and the staff friendly and ready with advice, recommendations, and a smile. Breakfast buffet varied and was tasty and uncrowded (we stayed 3 nights). The only reservation I have concerns the bedding. I hate having to sleep with a sheet and bed cover which is less comfortable (and hygienic) than a duvet cover. Also the shower was slightly cramped without a soap holder. Possibly this will be fixed as this was the end of the sesaon. That being said I would definitely go back to this very hospitable boutique hotel.

What a view!
A small cosey hotel with perfect position with the most beautiful view of the sea, beach to the left, coastline and cliffs. It really is a view that is hard to beat. It's just one of those views in the world you can soak up for a good while. Much more interesting than anywhere else we stayed in Crete. Breakfast was very good. Bed was very comfortable. The Area was quite quite in April when we stayed but that was fine with us.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was only for 1 night but the staff made sure we were happy. It was our Wedding Anniversary and they upgraded us to a Junior Suite with Sea Views. The room was clean and tidy and comfortable. Breakfast was adequate and there was parking for the car. It is quite far down to the harbour where the Taverna's are so a car is definitely needed. We would use this hotel again and would recommend it.

Great hotel - exceeded expectations!
Free parking under shade. Warm welcome on arrival. Very friendly staff. We booked a sea view room - so glad we did as the view is stunning. Good pool and great location. It's 5 mins one way to the beach ( and great tavernas) and 5 mins the other way to the town centre and lots of great restaurants. Huge choice at breakfast. Nice contemporary room. Would definitely go back if in the area again.

Lovely fishing village
Our single night stay was adequate, and the room was comfortable and clean. What made the evening very special was the walk into the restaurant area. We met a few friendly cats, saw a catch being delivered to a local eatery, and decided to try it! Our host was funny and friendly. The meal was excellent. It made our short stop in this town truly memorable.
