“The warmest welcome in Crete !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2009

We stay at Nikolas twice a year and no matter what time our flight gets in the family are there to greet us. The apartments are traditional and always freshly painted and every year more facilities are added, new bathrooms, new kitchens etc.. It's only 50m to the beach and when you sit on your balcony after a great evening meal in the taverna on the corner you can watch the fishermen offshore fishing by night. Nothing is too much trouble and with only a few apartments it never gets noisy or crowded. Just remember when you get a cab at the airport you want "Amoudara - Gazi " -"Technopolis" as there is another Amoudara on Crete (80km in the opposite direction). Speaking of cabs it's only about 10-15 minutes from the airport and about 20 euro.

“Adequate acommodation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2008

Adequate but not great accommodation. Satisfactory but "D" class service. This is a tired motel/apartment complex which needs some TLC. However it is close to the beach and an easy bus ride into town, and it is cheap. There are lots of restaurants on the nearby main street. It is good value for money. It would be perfect for a family travelling on a tight budget. The pool facilities would be great in summer.

  • Liked — Location, away from Heraklion but with easy access by public transport
  • Disliked — Rooms a little tired.

“Watch out for wind and mosquitoes”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2008
1
person found this review helpful

Nikolas apartments is located near the beach of Amoudara and just down the street from the main street in an area where you will be thankful for staying at, after having spent a day with constant listening to crazy car, quad and motor bike drivers. The owner (Eva) is a very friendly and helpful woman who is always available and nearby. We were greeted with a free drink at arrival, and we also got one at departure day. Don't miss out on the ice coffees she makes!!

You have a clean pool at your disposal. Our room had some minor faults like shown on the pictures of the previous review, but I would hardly call them any major concerns, it only adds to the charm. The hotel is in fact in a very good condition and the only thing that bugged us were the mosquitoes at night, so we recommend that you keep your windows and doors closed. AC is included in all rooms so you don't need to worry about the temperature (even when it hits +40C), and it didn't make any big noise, and that's coming from people having a hard time sleeping with disturbance.

Stayed July 2007

“Disgusting!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2007
2
people found this review helpful

Our room bore no resemblence to the room depicted in their website. Goodness knows when or where these photos were taken. The apartments seem to be popular with Greek tourists who only seem to stay for a night and move on. Other people come year after year and are very happy. Perhaps they are given a better apartment.

The sink unit was fronted by a sheet of hardboard which was broken.
The fridge was ancient and needed a good clean.
The tiles round the shower waste in the bathroom were broken.
The shower rail should have been connected to the ceiling by a chain - this was broken.
The toilet when flushed leaked making the bathroom floor wet all the time. I had to purchase paper towels and mop it daily.
The bed once was a slatted bed, these had been removed and replaced by planks of wood making it rock hard.
The pillows were unbelieveably lumpy.
The small veranda had two chairs, one of which was broken.
The part where the air conditioning unit was outside leaked on to the veranda making it impossible for us to sit there.
The sheets were not changed the whole week.
The towels were not changed the whole week.

Despite all this the family were lovely and friendly people who would leave you alone to do your own thing, they also didn't charge for air conditioning or using the internet. It's just a great pity the apartments were revolting.

All in all these apartments obviously haven't been updated in a very long time and unfortunately I would definitely not stay there again or recommend them.
