“Clean hotel with basic facilities close to Heraklion airport”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2010

Stayed here for one night following a very early morning arrival into Heraklion airport and not wishing to drive to Chania until some rest was had. Hotel only 10 mins drive from the airport and very easy to find. Arrived at the hotel at 01.30hrs and rang the bell for the owner to let us in as pre-arranged. Bedroom quite small but ok for just one night. Plenty hot water in the shower next morning. Good (quiet & free) a/c unit which was a necessity as room was very warm. Breakfast next morning consisted of tea/coffee/juice, cereal, bread, croissants, jams & spreads and hams and cheese. Not the best choice or quality but ok for the price. If you're looking for luxury, then this is definitely not the place for you, but if you're looking for somewhere clean just for a stopover then this would probably suit your needs just fine.

“Ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2010

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.

“great little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2008

basic hotel, just like they used to be 20 years ago, but with air con in the rooms that actually works! 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. The Handakas is only about 10 mins from the airport.
would stay again

  • Liked — close to airport
  • Disliked — the coffee!

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.

  • Liked — Price And Location, it's near Herkilion

“Good Cheap Accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2008

Me and my girlfriend stayed there for 7 days in June 2008. We got the room for a really good price. We didnt expect much but was pleasently surprised. The hotel is run by a really friendly couple who although dont speak a massive amount of English they are really nice and make you feel welcome. We ordered food there a couple of times and it was OK. The breakfast buffet consisted of Tea/Coffee, orange juice, ham, cheese,bread, hard boiled eggs, slices of sponge cake?, yoghurt, honey and biscuits. The pool is great and the air con a must. It has 2 PC's downstairs with internet and only charge 1euro and hour! We would defo stay their again given the chance.
