Before you book, remember you are booking a 2* hotel situated on a busy junction. However, the hotel is in an ideal position for those travellers wishing to explore the Old Town and is only 100 metres from the beach. Any traffic noise is negated by closing your balcony doors and switching on your air-conditioning - if too hot. The... more

I can not say enough about how helpful Marios and his family were. We had a terrible mishap in Crete -- my 80 year old mother broke her wrist. We needed assistance daily.

Just returned from 2 weeks at this excellent small and friendly hotel. It is all it is made out to be on the web site; spotlessly clean in every respect.
