We travel in Crete with my family. I wanted my children to see the paradise on earth and instead this hotel gave us: frozen uneatable food (meat - fish) at the middle of Mediterranean Sea, orange juice from a tin at the land where thousands of tons of oranges produced, milk from a tin and above all no water at...

Had been to Chania many times but had never stayed outside the city. Chose The Asterion because of its location on the beach and it not being in the centre of a town. What a find! From the moment we arrived at Reception and shown to our lovely room we were made to feel like Royalty by all the staff.... More

Stayed here while attending a conference in Platanias. As others have said, it is definitely not a 5* hotel, but it is excellent and you do no pay 5* prices.

The room was good but not of a five star hotel comparing the price! The staff polite and helping but very few in numbers and could not run the hotel. Food very moderate to bad! No kids facilities although advertised. More
