Kissamos hotellia

Plussat: The hospitality from the owners and the location, A very relaxing place in a wonderful area close by car to the most beautiful beaches.

Plussat: Near Sea/beach which is sandy, not deep, water is warm pleasant, has a promenade; Swimming pool with eco salt; Large terrace to the Sea and very nice view to mountains; Apartments were in new style, cleaned, has full equipment we need; Overall seems that owners are thinking about customers' rest and comfort. Highly recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing to add here. Unless the location could have more various places for dinner.

Plussat: Everything is available in the room. The service was perfect and descrete. Just in front of the beach. There are only few appartements so not a lot of people and you feel like you have a big villa for yourself.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Very confortable and clean, the staff is very kind and you can find everything you need in the apartment. The position is perfect to discover western Crete. Family Lanaro

Plussat: Very well kept property and well-equipped apartment. The bed is very comfortable.

Miinukset: The sea view from the 1st floor was a partially limited by part of the roof of the building in front.

Plussat: Everything, this place gathers all we needed! 10 steps and we were in the pool, 20 steps and we were at the beach (very well arranged just for the hotel guests). The owners are very helpful and kind. Great location to explore the west of crete and come back to enjoy the sunset at the beach!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I stayed in Thalassa apartments for several days with my six year old daughter. Our stay throughout the entire period was extremely comfortable and relaxing. The location is ideal for families as it is situated on a calm beautiful beach, away from the crowds of tourists, the noise, and the stress of every day life. We enjoyed idyllic sunsets, long swims in the pool, and great local food. The hosts were extremely hospitable, always available to help and make our stay unforgettable. The apartment was clean and spacious and the views of the sea at the front and the valley at the back were breathtaking. I highly recommend this establishment for a relaxing family vacation.

Plussat: Everything is perfect for a short as well as for a long stay. The room was of adequate size and perfectly equipped with anything needed comprised iron and ironing plank, kitchenette with pans, plates, silverware, oven, stove, refrigerator, just like home. The shower was efficient. The TV set could receive innumerable channels from many countries. A porch in front of each room allows relaxing in privacy. Furthermore, a common living room equipped with books is located just in front of a swimming pool available to all guests. A charcoal barbecue is also available. Many good restaurants are available in the area as well as beautiful beaches.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Stella, Vangelis and Yanni are so nice and helpful with lots of pride in their apartments which are in a great position for everything in this peaceful location. We will definately be back

Miinukset: Coming home

Plussat: This was exactly what I was looking for to explore this part of Crete. The appartment on 2nd floor was very comfortable for my 11 nights stay; it had a super comfortable bed, great shower and a well equipped kitchen. Stella, Vangelis and their son Yannis were eager to make sure I was OK and had all I needed, which was absolutely the case. Travelling alone I also needed a reliable internet connexion mainly to organize my day trips around the area and was glad it was the case. I found the appartment extremely clean (including kitchen appliance! which is sometimes not quite OK when renting a flat) and it was fully cleaned every 2-3 days with change of bed sheets & bath towels. The area is also well maintained and clean (no garbages on the street in front of the apartments) which makes it really nice to have a morning or evening walk by the seeside. Beautiful views just from the large and fully furnished balcony or at the door step. Unfortunately the weather did not allow me to enjoy the beach or pool, but did not affect my holidays as there is much to explore with a rental car (which as my case). In few words: calm, serenity, feeling welcome and cosy "at home" after busy days exploring Western Crete. Warm Thanks to the family for their kindness and hospitality :) ps: Stella and Vangelis insisted that I visit the Botanical Garden (20-30 minutes drive from Drapanias) and it was really a fabulous experience!

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing! I can only confirm what has been said in previous positive reviews!

Plussat: We had a top floor room with modern, clean furnishings and spectacular sea views (Recommended). The beach feels like a hidden treasure with lounge chairs and bar serving great cocktails. Breakfast was delicious with great daily variety. All of the staff were wonderful, from the front desk to the servers and bartenders, everyone kind and helpful. You can tell the owner takes great care in the place. A wonderful value. I hope to return.

Miinukset: Nothing - perfect place for a quiet holiday.

Plussat: Nice small hotel on the beach. Nice bar area and very friendly staff both on reception and at the bar. Room was spacious with a nice balcony. Even though it is quiet there are some nice restaurants around, Maria beach restaurant, good food and service, I would also recommend Stelia & Katina which is next door to hotel.

Miinukset: Not enough sun loungers around the pool. It was a bit quiet in the evening at the hotel and surrounding areas felt a bit deserted.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli herkullinen ja vaihteleva. Hotelli oli erittäin siisti. Hotellin omalla rannalla ilmaiset aurinkotuolit ja -varjot ja rahallista panttia vastaan sai rantapyyhkeen (vaihdettiin puhtaaseen kerran viikossa). Panttimaksun sai takaisin, kun palautti pyyhkeen. Rannan tuntumassa lisäksi kiva rantabaari, josta sai juomien lisäksi syötävää ja kaikki auringonottopaikallesi tuotuna, jos halusit. Vaihtoehtona nauttia baarin antimista istuen isojen puiden katveessa olevalla terassilla. Henkilökunta oli paras mahdollinen. Erityismaininta vastaanoton nuorelle naistyöntekijälle: ihan huipputyyppi!

Miinukset: Miespuolinen matkakumppani olisi toivonut vahvempaa vessapaperia ja vahvempaa kahvia aamiaisella.

Plussat: Staff was extremly helpful. Very clean, great breakfast.

Miinukset: The rooms and the furnitures are old fashioned. It is located right on the beach, but not the most amazing one in Crete. There is nothing to do in the city Kissamos.

Plussat: The place was flawless. Very clean and a good location. Very delicious breakfast and an amazing staff.

Plussat: Ideal location from Chania, good distance from famous beaches and surrounded by excellent taverns. Also, close by supermarket and everything that someone needs for a trip.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: STAFF were super lovely! The town felt really safe I was walking around alone at midnight. The rooms were cleaned daily and thoroughly, rooms are also huge! Really easy to get to all the great beaches by bus which was a 3min walk from the hotel. Tickets cheap too!

Miinukset: The distance from Heraklion by bus ' ughhh is a long journey! The town is super low key not many crowds, only 1 bar worth going to. This is is a family orientated hotel, so lots of kids everywhere, i didnt mind though.

Plussat: We were made to feel very welcome and everyone was so friendly and nothing was to much trouble. It was so lovely to stay somewhere everyone smiles and are happy at their place of work. The location is amazing right on the beach, the rooms were kept spotless and we would definitely recommend using breakfast in the hotel and lunch at the bar.

Miinukset: We loved everything

Plussat: Erityisen hyvä aamiainen. Suojaisa, turvallinen ja lapsiystävällinen ranta ja pihapiiri. Hotelliin ei kuulunut liikenteen eikä juhlijoiden äänet. Hotellin henkilökunta ystävällistä ja avuliasta, myös erityislapsemme huomioitiin hyvin. Hajusteyliherkkyys oli huomioitu hyvin hotellihuoneessamme.

Miinukset: Toisista huoneista tuli käytävälle monenlaisia hajuja ja tuoksuja avoimien ikkunoiden kautta.

Plussat: The staff was very nice, the breakfast was awsome(best I had in Greece), the hotel was right on the beach.

Miinukset: The bathroom window was opening directly into the hallway and was a bit wiered going to the restroom.

Plussat: We had a wonderful one night stay. Very clean and an excellent location. During the day we sat under the shade of the trees enjoying the service provided and the cocktails too! Then walked 5mtrs into the ocean to cool off. Hard to decide whether to dive into the pool, or the calm protected sandy ocean bay. Cannot rate highly enough, go to Stimadoris for dinner 300mtrs down the road and you have the perfect relaxed, friendly and wonderfully greek experience.

Plussat: Location good and staff very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: We were very well attended to by Soula and Dana who were very warm towards us throughout. I also made a mistake in booking and Dana adjusted this so we got a seaview apartment, which is highly recommended. You get a lovely breeze coming in and get a nice view of the promenade with all the people and tavernas. Surprisingly, it was very quiet for such a central location and no loud music playing. The family room was comfortable and cleaned daily. We also got our clothes washed for no charge. This was a great base to explore the west of Crete and we visited Elafonisi and Falassarna (our pick). All in all a great stay!

Miinukset: It rained overnight one day

Plussat: Position right on foreshore, proximity to restaurants,friendly hosts, Kissamos is great small seaside village with much closer access to the famous beaches than Chania.

Miinukset: Daily servicing of rooms

Plussat: Nice and clean apartments with swimming pool, right by the sea among the cafes, bars and taverns serving local cuisine. Good location for exploring western part of Crete (close to Falassarna & Balos beach). Very friendly and helpful hosts - thanks again for your hospitality and a great holiday!

Plussat: Great sea views and large comfortable apartment which was very clean .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The onwer and the waitress were very kind and friendly Big apartment with sea view The view of the sea from the bedroom Kissamos is very quiet but it's ok for just a couple of days if you look for bit of fun

Miinukset: Too many stairs Hard mattress and pillows Two windows were broken

Plussat: The owner and her staff were really friendly and chatty. There are several Tavernas on the sea front and a supermarket a few minutes away. The rooms were large with kitchen facilities. Our rooms on the ground floor didn’t have a balcony but the window opened onto the sea. Good air con and very clean. If you want to relax and cool off, the pool was nice. Parking is easy.

Plussat: Family run hotel with a very friendly yet professional staff

Plussat: Wonderful location and wonderful host, Sula. She was absolutely lovely and so welcoming. Exceptional value for money and plenty of tavernas seconds away. Great area for exploring this beautiful part of Crete. Lovely apartments and added benefit of a swimming pool if you don't fancy the beach, which is only a minutes walk anyway! Can't recommend Sula and the Mandy Suites highly enough!

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike!!

Plussat: Nice place with great people, atmosphere was awesome. Breakfasts were very good, outside so you could see the sea, I would come back definitely

Plussat: Great location with wonderful seaview

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The Management was very friendly,always there to help if needed.The Hotel was a foodstep away from the beach,quiet and ideal for a relaxing holiday.The rooms where clean and cool .I would come back anytime.

Miinukset: It would help to have timetables for local busservice awayable.

Plussat: The staff were unbelievably friendly and welcoming.

Plussat: Gramvoussa Bay is a familiar hotel just in front on the beach, beyond Kissamos. You can freely relax on the sun beds provided by the hotel. It's very quiet and you can hear the sea waves from your bed ;-). The room is very spacious and clean with a fully equipped kitchen where you can easily prepare your breakfast. The hotel offers a laundry service, very useful!

Miinukset: Obviously doesn't depend from the hotel but watch out from tiny and invisible ants! They will attracted by sweet food! Just keep it stored and packed and they will spontaneously go away!

Plussat: The cleanliness, the kindness and the location.

Miinukset: We would prefer more comfortable beds (the sofa bed and the bunk bed).

Plussat: The hotel is situated a few kilometeres outside of Kissamos. Therefore you can only reach it by car comfortably. The hotel offers umbrellas and loungers at the near beach. This is a big plus. Garden and the rest of the facilitiy are clean and neat.

Miinukset: The signal of the WiFi was very bad in our room.

Plussat: Location to beach & Port, clean

Plussat: Nice clean accomodation on the beach.Staff friendly and helpful

Plussat: Even better, than expected. Just 10 meters from a nice small beach with warm water, with cozy territory, two frindly dogs and a funny redcat. Comfortable bed. The mini kitchens with everything you need and tables with seats outside of each room are really nice. At the same time just few min driving from Kissamoss with good places to eat and supermarkets. The best place to orgize your own trips to Balos, Elafonisi and Kedrodassos and have a rest after it!

Miinukset: The shower could be a bit bigger.

Plussat: The place Is perfest for relaxing holiday, just a few steps to beach where sunbeds are free of charge for hotel guest, very few people even in the middle of July, sandy beach with perfect entrance to the warm sea. Amazing view to the bay.

Miinukset: Poor breakfasts sometimes.

Plussat: Nice room with comfy bed. Made breakfast in the room and the equipment needed for this was there. Went to order coffee from the restaurant which was excellent. Nice staff. Very clean. Good value for money.

Miinukset: View from the room a bit dull. Locks on balcony doors were tricky and one of them didn't lock. Staff not available to answer questions or give advice about nearby places. Sometimes hard to find them at all.

Plussat: The view was fantastic, the staff is pleasant and always ready to help (with the perfect English).

Miinukset: For some reasons, our room included ants. Also, the shower has no door or curtain between the shower itself and the toilet.

Plussat: The people where very nice and the rooms had a very nice view on the sea, even though the reality is not that nice as the pictures on booking. The hotel is right on the way to Balos beach.

Miinukset: The equipment of the rooms is very old and quite poor for that price level. Same for the restaurant area. You cannot leave the aircondition on during the day, so it was very hot when we came back in the evening. There is no real beach in front of the hotel (rocky stones with a lot of waves). The pool could also deserve some refurbishment.

Plussat: Very nice room, with sea view, really relaxing. Good pool, with bar and the possibility of having lunch in the pool area. Confortable bed. Very nice owner, who received us in the check-in, offered us a welcome drink and showed us the property. Excellent location for visiting wonderfull Balos Lagoon, a Crete must see. In the last day we had to leave at 5.30, and the hotel gave us an incredible breakfast basket with lots and lots of good things to eat, and offered us some gifts (typicall produts from Crete). We do not have words to thank that gesture! All the employees were really nice and helpfull during the whole stay. Good laundry service! I strongly recommend this hotel!

Miinukset: It's a really quiet zone, so you have nothing to do at night. Some details could be better, but remember it's a three star hotel. Honestly, there's nothing important to complaint. Great hotel, great people!

Plussat: Fantastic place and view. Very good for a peacefull holyday. Staff is very kind and ready to help you.

Plussat: • superb location • very good food • beautiful view

Plussat: Hotelli erittäin siisti, erittäin hyvä huone kaikiltaosin, ystävällinen ja auttavainen henkilökunta, altaalta upea näköala merelle.

Miinukset: Tavernoja kilometrin päässä vain pari eli todella hiljaisella paikalla. Ei silti välttämättä huono asia, hyvä paikka rauhottua yhdeksi yöksi.

Plussat: Staff very kind and helpful: girls at the reception, waiters at the restaurant and at the pool kiosk, cleaning women, the cook (super!). Everywhere very clean. Buffet breakfast and dinner very very good. Amazing sea view from the big room and from the restaurant. In a quiet and beautiful zone, at the beginning of the 8 km not asphalted road to balos bay (easy to do with a normal car).

Plussat: It’s good architecte

Miinukset: Hôtel alone

Plussat: Large pool Yoga classes Friendly and helpful personnel French speaking Comfortable room Welcome drink and gift bag Amazing view on the sea Quiet room

Miinukset: Small electricity defect in the room Light in the morning in the room

Plussat: Huoneisto sijaitsi samalla tasolla kuin ravintola, joten oli lyhyt matka ruokailemaan päiväreissun jälkeen Balos laguunille. Huoneisto oli tilava ja hyvillä materiaaleilla sisustettu. Keittotila sisälsi kaiken tarvittavan. Vastaanoton ja baarien sekä ravintolan henkilökunta oli hyvin ystävällistä. Illallisbuffetin (12e aikuiset, lapset 11e) ja aamiasbuffetin tarjonta oli hyvä. Ravintolassa sai valita myös tuoreena kokatut katkarapu jne. pastat muun tarjonnan lisäksi. Aamiainen oli monipuolinen. Illallisbuffet sulkeutui klo 22 ja hieman ennen sulkeutumista sai lisää purtavaa omalle terassille. Uima-altaalla oli hyvä rentoutua pitkän ja väsyttävän laguunireissun jälkeen.

Plussat: Lovely pool and a great breakfast. About 10 minutes walk to local tavernas. You would need a car to get here easily.

Plussat: Location is great for relax. The pool with views to the sea is amazing and also the access to the small beach. A pity it was too windy to had enjoyed it more.

Miinukset: During dinner some food was finished before the finishing time. Need of re supplying food more often during breakfast and dinner.

Plussat: Everything was lovely, wonderful staff with extra special mention for Maria who looked after us during the days, and extra extra special thanks to Giannis who is quite possibly the best Barman in the world. His great charm, local knowledge and impeccable service ready makes the hotel Into something very special.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything is pretty much perfect.

Plussat: This hotel is a little gem I have nothing negative to say. The hotel is clean , rooms beautiful ,clean and well equipped and have great see views . The location on the beach is amazing. All the staff amazing and so helpful and friendly . The food is amazing and lots of it on half board option not a buffet you get to choose from the menu. To sum up amazing

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed extremely comfortable Lovely hotel and staff

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Totally disappointing place. Don’t go there. Place like that could spoil your opinion of Crete at all. Absolutely incorrect hosts.

Plussat: Maukas aamiainen..

Miinukset: ----

Plussat: Very nice breakfast, extremely easy access to the beach, good restaurants in a few minutes walking distance.

Miinukset: Maybe the view from some rooms on the sports area is not so exciting. But the landscape behind is still beautiful.

Plussat: Wonderful place and staff, we (family with kids) absolutely recommend it.

Plussat: The hotel is clean, rooms are comfortable and spacious, the swimming pool is really nice as regard to other hotels. Possibility to cook in the room and have dinner on the balcony. The beach is not exceptional and there is a sort of non running river beside the hotel, however the beach sand is just in front of the hotel which is great, and hotel guest have free umbrellas and seats. Access to restaurants is easy through 10 minutes walk.

Plussat: The area is very calm and relaxing. Plenty of restaurants are within walking distance (the hotel's restaurant is also quite nice actually). The hotel is well maintained and is exactly as advertised. The staff is helpful and quickly addressed our needs.

Miinukset: The beach next to the hotel is not quite good - consider nearby Falassarna. Although many restaurants are nearby the experience they offer is more or less the same.

Plussat: Great location , excellent staff, comfortable room, very spacious and really very clean,

Miinukset: It can use some updating/maintenance of the doors and balconies. Also the room was very humid, and felt stuffy when it was kept close for the whole day. The breakfast is really low quality, not regarding the variety, which I do not expect from a 3* hotel, but regarding quality and freshness of ingredients. Also the coffee was really bad !

Plussat: Absolutely fantastic location. Just five minutes from a beautiful beach - excellent for children and very easy five-ten mins walk from the famous Falasarna beach. Bus to Chania and Kissamos stops right outside. Very friendly staff - rooms cleaned every day.

Miinukset: Mini market on site was very expensive for some things, so bear this in mind.

Plussat: Nearby there is a lovely taverna and a little shop where you can buy stuff for breakfast. The view from the room was very nice

Miinukset: The location is nice but frankly Falasarna beach is a bit overrated. The sink in the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner

Plussat: Very polite family and great location next to the beach and nice restaurants.

Plussat: Upon arriving at the hotel I was immediately greeted with a piece of cake! Breakfast here was excellent, made individually express every morning!

Plussat: Excellent location. Extremely friendly helpful staff

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Breakfast and sea view

Plussat: Warm and friendly welcome, spacious apartment with wonderful views, walking distance to beautiful beaches and restaurants. Great breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the sea.

Miinukset: Personally we found the mattress to be quite firm, a mattress topper would have been a welcome addition, but it didn't distract from our enjoyment of the holiday!

Plussat: Excellent location close to the beach

Miinukset: Bed was too hard and many stairs

Plussat: Magnificent view of the sea and beach from the room. Room quite spacious and very clean. Great bed which was huge, a real king-size, not just two single beds pushed together as very often in Greece. Excellent breakfast served on a terrace overlooking the sea. The owners were so kind and helpful...wanted to hug them when I left! Will definitely be back and for much longer. Falassarna is a dream holiday spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach.

Miinukset: That I couldn't stay longer!!

Plussat: The cleaning, the position, the breakfast and the warm ospitality. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our stay so much

Miinukset: The only thing I suggest is to emprove their beach space...

Plussat: Clean rooms, fresh air (did not use A/C) slept with windows open, beach front, great location (10 min) from cruise ship in Kissamos, very nice owner/employees.

Miinukset: Shower was extremely small

Plussat: All the pictures in booking.com of this hotel are photoshoped. Hotel is very noisy, old and the beach is not clean. The sea water is polluted with many trashes. Breakfast experience is really bad. Food quality is very low. The girl that is dressed in not propriate way (shorts are showing too much, maybe someone would like it) is standing next to you all the time when you are picking food (food must be put on the serving table before she will bring it to your table) and treating you like a stupid monkey while saying that bread is bread. Thank you! And the food is cold when it comes to your table. Rooms are smelly, stadion next to the hotel is the noisy place at night, elevator does not work, bathroom looks like a public toilet, the door of balcony cannot be locked because the lock is broken.. Absolutely tragic experience in all ways. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL.

Miinukset: Cannot find even one small thing that was good.

Plussat: Absolutely loved having a nice breakfast in front of the beach!

Plussat: The location and the staff are really good.

Plussat: Best location ever....the hotel is clean, well kept, awesome ocean view specially during morning breakfast or coffee. The owner and staff caters to the guest’s needs. Lovely, quite hotel.

Miinukset: The room is pretty nice and clean, only thing that I could suggest maybe remodel the shower is a bit small but it’s all good with me.

Plussat: We liked how they cleaned our room everyday. We stayed here for a week and it was just spotless! Irini from the reception is so lovely and she always help us with any questions and would give us recommendation. The breakfast is nice, pretty basic but still good selection of fruits.

Miinukset: There was no complimentary water for the duration of our stay. A bit different from all the hotels and accommodation that we stayed all from our travels. At least, a small bottle of water would have been nice everyday.

Plussat: Clean property right on the beach with a great breakfast and caring staff. Everyone was helpful and friendly!

Plussat: Very kind welcome. Helpful staff. Delicious breakfast on the terrace with a wonderful view of the sea. Clear room with daily cleaning.

Miinukset: Could have a more varied breakfast.

Plussat: L emplacement

Miinukset: Everything perfect

Plussat: The staff are very good, helpful, supportive, the facility very clean, convenient, the area is super nice for a gateway from city headaches. All in all super stay, will come back again and will definitely recommend to my friends and connections. BIG THANK YOU to Olive Tree staff and management.

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Nice location, especially when visiting Balos beach.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Host/manager and housekeeper were amazing ! Thank you very much !

Plussat: Calm place in a small village with good restaurants.

Plussat: Everything! Perfect service, great location, beautiful scenery

Miinukset: Sometimes no hot water at busy shower hours I guess.. not a big problem.

Plussat: This hotel, which offers a great location to go to the Balos and Elafunissi beaches, has a well-equipped and pleasant swimming pool. The staff people are very welcoming and friendly, once we arrived, we received gifts and precious advices for visiting the surrounding sites.

Miinukset: Nothing, except the location which is a little bit isolated.

Plussat: Hotelli oli rauhallinen ja sopiva minun tarkoituksiin. Tein aamulenkin meren rantaa ja illalla kävin lähiravintolassa syömässä. Uima-altaassa oli hyvin tilaa polskia. Huone oli erittäin siisti ja kodikas. Netti toimi hyvin.

Miinukset: Alueen julkinen liikenne on aika vähäistä.

Miinukset: Bed was not the most comfortable

Plussat: Great place to stay for that calming countryside feeling with access to a pool, internet and other necessities. We very much enjoyed communicating with the owners of this place. Gramvusa ferry is only 5min drive, supermatket Sinka 11min drive. No mosquitos, and an amazing morning mountain view guaranteed! Don't forget to ask the owners about the nearby coffee shop/bakery!!! P.S. We had to move out one night earlier. The owner agreed to return 50% of a payment for that night Special thanks to the owners for returning 50% of that night's payment, even though it was non-refundable!

Miinukset: Even with an A/C it was very hot on the second floor of our apartment.

Plussat: Kiva pieni hotelli n. 5 kilometrin päässä Kissamoksesta aivan maaseudun rauhassa. Kalivianin kyläkeskus muutaman sadan metrin päässä Balokseen johtavan tien varrella, pieni kauppa ja kahvila nurkan takana. Siistit huoneet, ystävällinen henkilökunta ja mukava uima-allas, tämä paikka sopii rauhaa rakastaville!

Miinukset: Ei mitään valittamisen aihetta!

Plussat: Great location ! Good studio with a view on Olive Trees and the sea. Nice staff and owner !

Plussat: The quiet place, near the main road, you can easily reach the best places. The beach can be reached by foot and is empty with a lot of colorful stones. The bedroom is very comfortable.

Miinukset: The kitchen equipment is messy (diferrent, cracked plates, cups). The bathroom also not comfortable.

Plussat: Comfortable, spacious family suite with 2 separate bedrooms . Newly renovated bathroom was a welcome surprise. Apartments are very clean. Lovely pool area. Very near Kissmamos centre and only 5 minutes from the beach and tavernas. Still a peaceful location (except for the church bells on Sunday mornings!). We were here 10 days and hired a car to visit other beaches as the local beach is very pebbly. Thanks to Stavros for all your help and for the recommendation of the Pixida Taverna- we agree, it is the best Taverna- tasty traditional Boureki, lovely fresh cod with garlic dip, and great pizza. .

Miinukset: Kitchen area is a little small for a family, even for preparing a simple breakfast or lunch . There is lots of room to have a little more working space.

Plussat: The view from the room was great. Air conditioning and cooking facilities in the room were an essential. We loved all of the restaurants in the surrounding area. The pool was amazing for cooling off and having fun. Sun beds were great and the garden on the property is nice. The elevator is like a funfair ride the way it jumps at the 3rd floor ;)

Miinukset: The pillows were hard and difficult to sleep on. There was no do not disturb sign for the door and the maid would come in at random times in the morning. The toilet roll was never refilled. We couldn't get food at the bar one of the days as there was no one there to take our order. After 20 mins we just went to the restaurant up the hill.

Plussat: Location is very close on foot to restaurants and the beach. 20 min away by car from other attractions. Very nice staff, from cleaners to bartenders, friendly and accommodating staff. Kitchenette equipped with the essentials, even the small pot to make Greek coffee!

Miinukset: Not the hotel's fault, but the surroundings are a bit noisy especially in the morning

Plussat: We enjoyed our stay here and it was a great location to get to balos, gramvousa, Elafonissi and the west side of the island. The staff are lovely and attentive and our room was kindly upgraded when they could not provide twin beds. We would recommend staying here if you want to explore this part of Crete. Kissamos is small so all the amenities are walking distance from the hotel and there is a car park for hotel guests which always had space.

Miinukset: We enjoyed our stay here and would go back again.

Plussat: Hotels location was great, it was easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and it had an amazing seaview.

Plussat: The pool and the nearby bar is perfect for relaxing anytime. The position of the hotel is perfect. The staff is nice.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was nice.

Plussat: The pool was a little oasis after spending so much time in the salt water by the beach. Quiet and clean - with really excellent staff to serve drinks/food!

Miinukset: The walls are a bit thin, but I think that’s quite common in Crete. We stayed at two other places - same problem

Plussat: Great look and feel to the property. Very nice pool and pool area. Friendly staff!

Miinukset: The breakfast. The quality of the buffet breakfast food was quite poor. After taking one look at it we decided to go into the town square (a one minute walk) and eat at one of the great little restaurants. It’s a really nice setting to sit in the Square and have a meal.

Plussat: Nice pool. Close to the town. Easy parking. Nothing fancy.

Miinukset: Reception is not staffed at all times- you have to go to the pool bar

Plussat: Courteous and helpful staff good location inbetween the town centre and the waterfront

Plussat: Arrived late by ferry. Staff was very obliging to make us some dinner.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff was very kindly. The dinner very good.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The friendly staff

Plussat: Close to wonderful beaches

Miinukset: Lobby needs a little makeover

Plussat: The hotel is placed in Kissamos which is a good position for visiting all west Creta. The stuff is very kind and gentle, always ready to chat and ready to help the guests with their request. Breakfast and dinner are fine,you’ll never fell hungry when leaving the table! The hotel offers also a private beach,yet places like Balos, Elafonnisi, Falassarna are must-to-go places and can be easily reached by renting cars or bikes, which can be booked directly in the hotel.

Plussat: The hospitality of the staff and food. Authentic and very good!

Miinukset: The pillows. Honestly that's the only single thing I didn't like about this place.

Plussat: The staff was always friendly and very helpful. The central location in Kissamos enabled us to easily explore the area. The free umbrellas and beach chairs were plentiful. Hotel Elena has a spacious lobby that is tastefully decorated. We looked forward to the complete home-cooked dinners offered at the hotel for only 12€ with a different menu every night. The little extras, like the liquor and peanuts brought to our room on arrival, were appreciated. We have recommended this hotel to friends, and hope to return some day soon.

Miinukset: The only thing missing was an electric coffee/tea kettle in the room.

Plussat: I arrived after midnight as I was travelling by ferry from Gythio in the Peloponnese. The hotel is close to the port and stated in booking.com that it had a 24 hour front desk. I was concerned that this actually meant I would have to phone someone and wake them up, but not all. The man on the desk was fully awake and willing to serve me a beer so I could wind down, before showing me my room, where a complementary raki and peanuts were waiting. The room (and hotel) was modern and clean. Breakfast could be eaten inside or outside in the pleasant morning air. I was sad that I had to head off on my walk along the E4 European Long Distance Walk which passes by the hotel, and had no time to enjoy the loungers by the beach.

Miinukset: My stay was too short and I was without my wife!

Plussat: Spacious rooms Great location Polite staff

Miinukset: Some parts of the hotel seem old Could be cleaner

Plussat: Location is good for those who want to discover traditional Crete. Bus stop, restaurants, small shops, Kissamos port - all near by. Beach ( bay ) is just five steps away. Nice room. Too much attention from staff ( over attention I would say ).

Miinukset: Builder noises all day long. We came at the beginning of the season and there was lots of outdoor work going on in the hotel garden ect. In my opinion the hotel should be ready at the first day of opening. Outdoor garden was in mess.

Plussat: Very friendly staff,the little shop next to the bar was very convenient. The bed was big, very good and new mattress, very clean. Good air condition, nice baby set up. Overall very kids friendly with a few high chairs at the restaurant. Nice selection for breakfast Very good parking situation, playground, restaurants and big supermarket within walking distance. Pool area offers enough sun beds, people do not keep them when they are away for lunch or similar which is very relaxing. Beach is nice, the sea is warmer than in other areas.

Miinukset: Unfortunately the nights weren’t as quiet as wished. Beach view and beach front rooms would always be a bit loud due to the construction which is open towards the bar inside the court( or in our case due to extremely rude guests it was noisy).If you are at bed later than 1 am it’s not a problem. Bathrooms are old and have all black mould at the shower area. Coffee offered for breakfast buffet isn’t good but luckily you can purchase a decent one at the bar.

Plussat: Ystävällinen ja palvelualtis henkilökunta

Plussat: Clean! Also the rooms are big.

Plussat: Clean and comfortable rooms, nice staff, great pool and bar. Correct service for correct price! I gladly recommend it!

Plussat: We liked the bed, which is very wide:). Also, the balcony from where we could see the sea. And the super friendly staff. And the pool.

Miinukset: We had ants in the room:(. And the bathroom needs a little refurbishing...

Plussat: The room was clean and the staff were friendly. The location is more “family friendly” so if you visit be mindful there are a lot of kids.

Miinukset: Also, I don’t mind pets but there are two pets that belong to the property owner so they are walking around the pool area and in the lobby.

Plussat: Food, clean, staff, location.

Plussat: All staff, friendly and helpfull.. Great location to visit the best beaches in Crete..

Plussat: Hotel pool was big and spacious. A lot of games for the little ones. Spacious rooms. Facilities above three stars rating standards for Greece. Staff was friendly.

Miinukset: Area is remote although location is on the beach. Beach compared to the standards of Crete mediocre. Rooms a little outdated.

Plussat: Location, swimming pool (expecialy for children), good price for quality.

Miinukset: Breakfast quality can be improved (only for sweet breakfast-not for international or continental breakfast). Bedroom cleaning too fast and approximated (we calculated maximum 10 minutes work)

Plussat: It was very private and felt open with wonderful sea views and was located right on the beach! We had an issue with the AC unit and it was fixed that day! Wonderful staff and a very clean, nice place to stay! We will be back!

Miinukset: The room had hiden costs.the room was not the room i have booked.personal was disrespectful

Plussat: The wlan was good. The owner were friendly.

Miinukset: We had one of the older apartments (the owner told us). When we came on our first day the air condition didn´t work, the shower holder was broken (also the one for your shampoo), the flushing of the toilet pumped water in the toilet all the time (you could hear that from other apartments too) and you could´nt close the balcony door (not very safe). We told it to the owner and he could fix the problem with the air condition but not the other problems we told him. My boyfriend had to fix the shower by himself because the owner could´nt. The apartment was not clean (there were spider web under our beds and in the bathroom), we had to wear shoes (flipflops) all the time even when we were showering. The showering area was way to small! The shower curtain sticked to our bodys, you could´nt turn yourself around because it was that small! The bed was very uncomfortable, the bed sheets and showering towels had wholes and stains. The TV was very very small and there were only greek channels. You could hear all the noises from the other apartments and when we were leaving we had to pack our important things with us because of the not closing balcony door. We had booked for 8 nights but we were leaving at the 5th night because (obviously it was horrible) when we came back the cleaning lady had left the balcony door open so we had ants (many!) spiders in the room and a moth in our bed! The toilet and the trash were wet (we think the cleaning lady was flooding our bathroom for cleaning!). This was too much and definitely not worth the money! We had to changed our hotel/apartment (the woman at the reception did not care why we left earlier) to enjoy our remaining holiday!

Plussat: Big and calm room

Miinukset: Actually is not an apartment, there's no kitchen, only a fridge.

Plussat: Great location. Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. The pool area is lovely. Perfect for families! We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant as we only stayed 3 nights but would definitely recommend and would come again. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Thank you to Nadia and Stelios for their hospitality!

Miinukset: I could have done with an iron and a hairdryer but made do without and to be fair I didn't ask so perhaps they were available.

Plussat: Comfortable bed and beautiful location of room which direction toward beach. Good facilities as airconditioner and cleaned and wide swimming pool.

Miinukset: Seperated building room with our childs.

Plussat: The rooms were decent , had lovely balcony and a beautiful rural view where we could see some goats , mountains and also the sea side. Stalois and his wife were so welcoming and friendly and very helpful.

Plussat: A very good place to stay if you don't want yo spend a lot of money and have a good rest. Nice swimming pool. A perfect location to visit the most beautiful beaches of creta, and its just about 40km from chania airport (of course if you rent a car).

Miinukset: Air conditioning and WiFi could be better

Plussat: The lady at the desk was very welcoming and friendly, the pool was lovely and the room was very clean and comfortable.

Plussat: Walking distance to the beach

Miinukset: The air conditioner did not work in the main bedroom. The shower had no hot water.

Plussat: In a quiet location, must have a car. The staff a owner really looked after us, had a great holiday. Would highly recommend this property.

Plussat: Very close to different beaches! nice area and good meals in this restaurant , the lady is very sweet!!!

Plussat: Great location with fantastic views. Nice tavernas in the property and nearby. Amazing beaches can be reached on foot. Bus to/from Chania stops right in front of the property. I had a nice studio apartment with a great balcony. Friendly owners.

Plussat: The hotel is situated in a very quiet neighbourhood in Falassarna and the beach is near. Lot of space to park your car and no reservation needed. Nice welcoming staff. If we had dinner they always offered us some cake and a drink after our meal. Really lovely gesture from Greek people. Mini market is next to the hotel but be aware of the closing times. Inside the room was a small kitchen and a large balcony with the view to the beach. They even offered us to have breakfast on our balcony.

Miinukset: Although it should be a beach hotel there is nothing prepared for this. No towels or chairs available to go to the beach. Gladly the host offered us a special towel to take outside the room. The WiFi was poor. There were no shampoos or shower gels in the bathroom, just one soap for hand washing. Another weakness was the breakfast, just some toast with marmalade, 1 boiled egg, a cake and some coffee and orange juice.

Plussat: sea views , delicious food and helpful kind owner

Plussat: Quite spacious studio with comfy beds, very nice view towards the sea and great location close to the beach and nice bars.

Miinukset: Kitchenware is quite poor, if you want to cook by yourself. But they also offer breakfast and dinner there.

Plussat: Parvekkeelta hyvä näkymä merelle.

Miinukset: Aamupalalla eilistä leipää!!! Osa huoneistoa hieman pimeä (huono valaistus/ei ikkunaa). Makuuhuone kylläkin oli valoisa ja ilmastoitu. Rantaan jyrkkä tie.

Plussat: The apartments are big, nice and comfortable. The beach is very beautiful, amazing landscape, one of the most impressive sunsets I have seen in my life. In the restaurants around the food is very good.

Miinukset: However, there were some things I would advice the landlord to look at: - there was AC only in the bedroom, we were 5 people, 2 sleeping in the bedroom and 3 sleeping in the living room. There was enough space, but since there was no AC, we had to sleep with the balcony door open because it was too hot. - there was only soap in the bathroom, no shower gel, no shampoo. But there is a mini-supermarket just next to the hotel where we bought everything we needed. - wifi extremely slow. If you go in summer like we did, there are a lot of cicadas, and the noise can be annoying until you get used o it ;-) Apart from that, we had a very nice stay there.

Plussat: Close to the beach Mini market right nearby Nice view - for those that are lucky enough

Miinukset: This was the worst accommodation we had in our entire trip in Greece and we were in 3 places: - superficial cleaning, definitely need to improve a lot - they didn’t respect the check-in time, that is totally unacceptable (without notifying me) and never experienced this wherever I traveled. - Kitchen facilities needs to be improved - Bad smell sewerage maybe...

Plussat: The hotel is very close to the beach, the room is very big, and the view is nice, the room was clean.

Miinukset: The fact that there are just 3 restaurants in the area.

Miinukset: Cold water on 3 floor

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: The worst what I have ever visited. The hotel is really far away from the centre, so if you don't have a car, don't book here. The whole hotel is a non-pleasing building with really old and worn out furnitures where you can feel yourself as if you are in a sanatorium. When we entered the room a huge cockroach had been running out from it. The bathroom needs reconstruction and the dirty shower curtain must be thrown out. There is needed a more comfortable bed in the room and an AC which is working. Breakfast was poor as well. It's not worth the money. For the same price we booked a 5 stars boutique hotel in Chania. This hotel does not deserve three stars.

Plussat: Nice hotel, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice balcony. The staff is very friendly, the food is deliciuos both for breakfast and dinner. Good position, close to the beach and to bus station from which you can go easily to the mpst beatiful beaches.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This was the 2nd stay in the hotel and this time it was even better. We enjoyed talking with very friendly staff - Annamaria at reception, Sasha at poolbar and we were feeling like home. Manager of the hotel always ready at your service to give you good advice what to explore in Crete and when. We enjoyed the big pool and privacy there. This year, they opened a restaurant, so after long day on the beach, we could eat there buffet dinner that was tasty and with very fair price. Room was cleaned every day what was great. Breakfast was tasty with enough variety, also coffee was really good. The location of the hotel is great, as it is few meters from best beach in Kissamos - Mavros Molos. On the beach, you can find few nice local restaurants and if you want to go to Kissamos center, you need to walk a bit, but we preferred eating on the beach that was less crowded. The position of the hotel is great to explore beaches in western Crete like Falasarna (only 15 minutes easy drive - so you can visit every day), Balos (by boat from Kissamos port) or Elafonisi. In general, it is very nice and relaxing hotel with great position and value for money.

Plussat: Friendly girls at reception Ana Maria& Ina,them were so helpful and give us lots of advice regrading excursion and places to visit...nice beach across the street,good breakfast..

Plussat: As I said last year we come again 2019 :)) this year we were in hotel Hermes 12 days. Everything is good as last year, good breakfast, clean rooms, clean pool... Especially thanks to hotel manager and employees which made our vacation comfortable to feel like home.

Miinukset: I did not find anything negative

Plussat: Great buffet dinner (reasonably priced) and breakfast (included). Very friendly and professional staff. Lovely pool.

Plussat: Spotlessly clean. Room service every day. Good size room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic stay. Love it very much.

Plussat: i like the availability of check in even at later time, baggages deposit at check out, water fountain to fill bottle and avoid plastic usage. Breakfast was good for food, not for beverage. The position for my interest was perfect because It allowed me to visit the beautiful beaches on the west coast staying in a pretty comfortable city. Free Parking is a plus

Miinukset: My room had the condition air directed to the bed on faces. Beverage choices at Breakfast were not the top

Plussat: Hotel was clean and staff was very hrlpful and friendly especially manager. Breakfast was also very fresh and tasty.

Miinukset: Everything was good

Plussat: The location and the quality of the rooms

Miinukset: Toaster broken no replaced

Plussat: Extremely clean place, ver nice staff.

Miinukset: They do need a new toaster for breakfast!

Plussat: rauhallinen hotelli, maalaismainen ympäristö,

Miinukset: wifi huono,

Plussat: Food, staff and location.

Miinukset: Just the air conditioning in our room was a bit weak.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff, Great location for beach walks and visiting Falassarna. Large room, clean and comfortable, although I found the bed alittle hard.Lovely food, great selection, quality and quantity.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This hotel is situated in a quiet area of Crete and appropriate for families with children. The rooms are really spacious and comfortable with beautiful sea view. Everyone from staff was really kind and helpful. Serving food was delicious. The best beaches of Crete like Balos, Falassarna and Elafonisi are not so far. We hope to come again.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: Breakfast was ok, food buffet style. Room was very spacious and comfortable with a lovely balcony. We booked a side sea view, which did have a great view. The sunbeds on the beach were fab. Great location if you wanted to chill.

Miinukset: Disappointed that coffee and tea were from a machine. We booked half board. Again food was buffet style. Salads were excellent, main course ok. Disappointed again that we had to purchase water to drink with the meal considering every where else on the island it was offered free as soon as you sat down.

Plussat: great breakfast, location too far from the city center - they have a nice garden, personal was very nice and helpful - a bit pricey but it's ok. Rooms have air-conditioning - super important in the summer.

Miinukset: room sea side view was not really a side view

Plussat: Rauhallinen hotelli, avarat tilat sekä huoneessa että hotellin yleisissä tiloissa. Monipuolinen aamiaisbuffet. Erittäin hyvä hita/laatusuhde. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Jouduimme odottelemaan huonetta n. 15.30 asti

Plussat: Great location Clean room Free and tasty breakfast Close to the beach

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Location is excellent!!! And the bar near the beach is super cool for the sunset

Miinukset: No room service

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Spotless clean property

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: not as good as the pictures show...

Miinukset: a bit dusty and humid place...

Plussat: Location, private pool, limited food options still the staff cooked the food we want. Town is not far away to have food in the restaurants.

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Central placed between Kissamos and kolymvari

Plussat: Car parking area, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Even you are not very close to seaside, sea and beach is acceptable. By walking 10 min, you can reach them. The pool is nearly OK. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. You can use kitchen and kitchen-tools. It has a natural atmosphere. You feel NATURE and village-life in this apartments/rooms. Enjoy it.

Miinukset: Location. You must be careful while coming from Chania city. There may be some more signs or directions for getting the exact point. The activities or extra facilities of these apartments/rooms can be improved or created by them. Kindly for their info.

Plussat: It's the perfect place to unwind in beautiful surroundings!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Perfect central location for day trips, easily accessible. Staff very helpful. Located in quite place surrounded by olive trees and wine yards, 5 minutes drive to Kissamos. Great pool, apartments cleaned daily, fresh towels. Kids loved the pool, highly recommended.

Plussat: Location is perfect with car, everydays cleaning, the pool is good for the children.

Miinukset: Noises from the street and the neighbour that was too loud, as there is not walls.

Plussat: Helpful & kind staff, nice position near the sea, very clean and quiet.Perfect swimming pool. Perfect to reach better beaches of occidental Crete.

Plussat: We liked the fact that some rooms had their own swimming pools.

Miinukset: The location is a little in the middle of nowhere so we advise you to have a car. Not too near the sea (20 mins walk), and next to the national road - although it did not trouble us noise wise too much. Firstly the pool - when we arrived the main pool was green with algae which was also on growing on the sides- although we did try it and we are still here. This did improve over the next days as a product must have been added. The place was probably built around 15 years ago or so ago and has not seen much in the way of improvement. It is actually difficult to improve as the styling is all around the windmills, which remains a plus point. The place seems to be on the decline and the owners had little to no interaction with staff preferring to look at their laptop instead. Cleanliness and tidiness in the shared areas could have and should have been better. On the plus side they had a local girl helping out who really tried her upmost to help and she is the most positive point around service. Breakfasts were a little shambolic and if not booked in advance you would probably end up with nothing. On the whole one place to give a miss unless they start to understand that they are running an establishment where people expect a basic degree of service.

Plussat: The pool, rooms, the overall look/ design of the hotel.

Miinukset: Very remote, not much food selections
