One of the authentic hotels in crete island. It was built in 1964 originally. It seems renovated recently. Good view on harbor side. Hotel staffs are friendly and professional. Only weak point is GYM 🏋️♀️ facilities. Relatively small and lack of machines. Smell from the gym is not good..

I don't think I would call it a 5-star because the carpets could be updated and the amenities were basic, but it was a comfortable stay and a fair price. Breakfast was good, decent variety, but the coffee machine wasn'...
