The hotel is conveniently located in the city center with a nice balcony facing the street, offering spacious rooms and excellent customer service. However, the dining experience could use more fresh vegetable options. The location is very quiet and relaxing, close to the beach and the old town, with fair prices.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The location is not the best, but still very good, just an 8-minute walk from the beach. The rooms were relatively basic, but had air conditioning and a small balcony. The service was top-notch, with the polite and kind staff going out of their way to assist us. The dining experience was one of the best we've had on Crete, with a variety of delicious options. However, the dining could have been better with more fresh vegetables. The hotel facilities were impressive, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The room was spacious and quiet, a perfect junior suite with air conditioning and a small balcony. The service was exceptional, the staff was so friendly and kind from the moment we arrived after 9 am. The location was very good, just an 8-minute walk from the beach and directly in the city center. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing, with poor and tasteless food during the off-season. Despite that, the facilities were top-notch.
