The hotel was quite good especially with the food, (Cretan traditional food), the stuff, and with the high speed wifi (free of charge). Also the beach was not over 100 meters.

just arrived back from a week,s stay at the marirena hotel and really enjoed ourselves. The rooms are typical basic greek rooms but very clean and constant hot water. We had a room on the second floor facing the side of the hotel and had no trouble sleeping. We agree with other guests who say on half board you have no choice of evening meal but the food was fine. George the owner was very nice and always stopped for a chat. The beach is only 100mtrs. down the side street and it is lovely and sandy and the sun beds are well spaced out not on top of each other.The hotel has a small swimming pool which we had all to ouyrselves on one of the days great!!.

Do not choose this hotel pleaseeeee!!!
I’m going to give you , just a little insight of our stay:
-The owner tried to cheat on us, and wanted us to pay an extra fee for using the air conditioning ( five Euros per day) imagine!!!
-we arrived at 6.am and the reception only opened at 8ham, we had to wait outside
-you only have one hour of breakfast(8h00 to 9.00), and there were lack of food
-We had prepaid dinners, and we couldn't choose the food (they served us whatever they wanted), and we had to pay the drinks as extra.
-Last but not least, in the second day, someone used our toilet and forgot to flush, so we find a little present in the toilet, when we arrive from the beach!!!
If you can, please choose another hotel, don't give money to these people!!
The location was good and that's it!

I and a friend with three children stayed at the Marirena hotel. We arrived late, and we did not get the food we had payed for the day we arrived. We had prepayed for breakfast and dinner under our stay, and the dinner was the cheapest thing they had on the menu. We got dinner for around 7 euro each day.

One evening, the owner went over to two english ladies who also had prepayd food. He said that since they had bought expencive drinks in the bar the previous night, maybe they wanted vine this evening. I think he was upset because the drinks they bought was in another bar.

We had mold int the kitchen furniture after a earlier leakage, and when I complained, the owner made the cleaner wash and spray. I had a baby with me... The fridge was also full of mold.

There was not able to shower without holding the showerhead, because there were no hanger.

The childrens swimmingpool were covered with a wooden plate. And theres no elevator. Every time someone went out of their room, it was a big noise. I woke up several times because of this.
