Just home from staying here with my husband. Great place to stay. Just 5 minutes from the beach (if visiting the beach we also used Marinos beach bar who let customers use the pool) Very clean. Family was so friendly and welcoming. The location is on a busy road. Not sure how great it would be for young families. But... More

This hotel is OK. It has good location, close to the beach, quite nice rooms. Owners are friendly. We never tried the pool though. I would say that for it's great price it is quite nice. The bathroom is extremely small and had no shower gel/shampoo. For 2 days we never had room cleaning but that was an Easter Days.

We wanted a cheap week away in the sun with a nice hotel near the beach. Everything was lovely, the bar the best bit! Amazing cocktails, nice breakfast and on a nice small strip of shops and hotels. The staff were very friendly and helpful..if we stay again which I'm sure we will the only thing is I'd say we... More

We booked the Axos for two weeks after reading many favourable reviews of the accommodation, and we were certainly not disappointed. From the time we arrived, we were met and treated with terrific friendliness and courtesy, and on this occasion at least, the offer of a choice of rooms. The friendliness, courtesy, and excellent level of service continued throughout our... More

We spent our romantic holidays in the Axos hotel and really glad of our choice. Excellent location - in a small town, but very close to the main road. It is easy to go anywhere - Rethymnon, Heraclion, beautiful shore of nothern Crete... I would like to say thank you to the host family, who greeted us in Axos with... More

Located Out of the main area, but very close to beach and restaurants and easy to get around by taxi. They didn't clean our room on Sunday. They have a really big pool and an option of buffet breakfast. Rooms were big with nice balcony

We chose Axos for a first visit to Crete in September 2012 after reading many great reviews on the internet and I must say that every single positive review we’d read was fully justified.

I would endorse all the other very positive reviews. Manos and his family make all their guests feel very welcome. The hotel has perhaps the cleanest pool we have ever swum in. The appartments are very well appointed and the location of the hotel is perfect - close to all amenities.

This is a lovely, spotlessly clean, small family run hotel. The afternoon we arrived our room wasn't available yet so we were shown to an adequate room in the hotel next door and offered free dinner and breakfast the next morning by way of recompense. This seemed like a good deal to me, and our bags were ready for us... More
