"The room we stayed in was cleaned everyday and towels and ( coffee pods for the machine) replaced. I was initially slightly dubious about using the sister hotel facilities. But I can assure you it is literally 2 mins away, on a private beach. They have a lovely pool and the most amazing staff. We came for just 5 days and it was just so wonderful to relax and enjoy the surroundings and food and staff’s kindness."

Traditional Cretan Houses

Heraklion

"The house was a lovely old Cretan house renovated to a high standard, and Popi was a wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable host - really friendly and full of suggestions of where to go next. You will need to have a car to get around as it is not at all central, and do not expect a modern building - but it was full of character and the aircon worked very well, so in my eyes it was perfect! I would happily stay here again, and hope to do so some day in the coming years."

Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice stop off for airport , staff nice and nothing to complain about , would stay again"

Marin Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Do not stay here. Despite the great location, it is clear management simply does not care about the state of this hotel. Our room was too small for four people, the AC was broken, and constant street and plane noise made it impossible to open the windows (which blocked out most but not all of the noise). On top of that, the staff dropped off a baby crib without mattress or sheets. Furthermore, the barely functioning soap dispensers, the way too short shower curtain, and the fridge that was frozen over with ice made the owners’ overall apathy towards their property obvious. They clearly haven’t stepped into their own rooms in years. I recommend you follow their lead. Breakfast was good."
