Guest Review: A brand new hotel, very nicely located in a calm area, but close to the city. Contemporary designed hotel with luxury feel and attention to details. The entry hall and the stairs are a true masterpiece. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well organized and fully equipped. Staff was very professional and helpful, yet friendly. We were allowed to check in earlier and were provided complimentary free breakfast. Liana, was extremely helpful throughout our stay. She helped us to plan the visits around and gave us great suggestions. Furthermore, she invited us to the Easter party lunch organized by the hotel with traditional music and tasty food. Breakfast is buffet style, everything is freshly made and very well presented. Finally, food was very delicious. The garage is free , which is a bonus. I would definitely choose to stayhere again whenever I visit Crete.
Guest Review: I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was absolutely perfect — from the beautifully maintained facilities to the spotless, comfortable rooms. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is peaceful and ideal for anyone looking to unwind and recharge. The food was another highlight — delicious, fresh, and with great variety. Every meal felt like a treat! What really made the difference, though, was the outstanding staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. A special thanks to Antonis at reception for being so helpful and professional, to Pinelopi from guest relations for her thoughtful care and hospitality, and to Eleftheria, the spa therapist, who gave one of the most relaxing treatments I’ve ever had. This hotel is a true gem — highly recommended if you're looking to relax in comfort and be looked after by a truly exceptional team.
