Not a bad little hotel. The staff are all lovely and friendly and will help you if you need it! There's a lovely beach only 2 mins away and the pool is nice and clean. Although there are a lot of bad reviews, it's not all that bad if you haven't paid for a 5* hotel!! Although the room wasn't... More

The third, the original hotel is on a very NOISY road, the rooms have zero soundproofing - we were kept awake by neighbours rowing, a baby crying in a room at the... More

Thank goodness we were there for only one night - put up there by Thomas Cook as our plane had been delayed. There was a party going on all night until 5 or 6 in the morning so absolutely no sleep. We were right next to the kitchen, reception and bar which was noisy and people slamming doors all the... More

For the money you pay you cannot really have too many complaints with the hotel overall. I wanted a cheap week to explore Crete before heading to Santorini where most of my budget was spent. On arrival we were advised there had been an overbooking so were moved for the first night to the Arhodiko Hotel across the road. This... More
