I've just returned from a fab first holiday with my boyfriend in Agios Nikolaos. We stayed at the Alantha Apartments for 10 nights and had a really lovely, relaxing time. I’d looked around for ages before we booked the holiday, I really researched a lot! Fortunately I had enough time to do so but for those of you who don't... more

This hotel has a great location, but horrible service. Below are my major problems with the place. #1 out weights all the rest by 1000X 1. The second afternoon into my stay (a Friday at 4pm), our toilet broke. The hotel manager, Antonis, told me that they would sent someone on Monday to fix it. After profuse complaining, he informed... more

When booking the Alantha Apartments, we were thrilled to discover from TripAdvisor that the establishment was (at the time of booking) "#3 of 113 hotels in Agios Nikolaos". Understandably, our expectations were rather high - perhaps, too high, as, whilst the Alantha Apartments did not disappoint, our experience wasn't quite what we would have expected from such a highly ranked... more

We were looking forward to this holiday, as it was our 25th wedding aniversery, we read reviews on here and booked. The hotel is in a great location, 10 mins walk to the lovely town center and 5 mins walk to a sandy beach. Agi Nick is fantastic, great places to eat, very safe, locals very friendly. some good bars,... more

The reception is manned by David, very courteous and friendly, until around 2pm in the afternoon Mon - Fri. Otherwise, the keys are left on the reception desk with directions to find the rooms. The owner Antonio is always available on his mobile if you need help. Towels are religiously changed every other day and sheets changed every third day.... more

booked this hotel through travelrepublic for one night we paid £45 and got a large 4 bed apartment for the two of us, with two balconies and a lovely sea view - room 402. the rack rate direct from the hotl was 75 euros! there was no-one on reception when we arrived and we had to ring the owner who... more

Managed to get a late deal to Alantha Apartments for great value. After a terrible transfer arranged by the tour operator we were welcome by friendly night porter. Rooms were smaller than they seemed on the internet but were comfortable and cleaned exceptionally every day-being four girls together this wasn't easy! Reception was not available all day but were helpful... more

There is only one good reason anyone should visit this nice quaint hotel in Crete, in an especially lovely little town! Agios Nikoloas was a beautiful break away, and the people were accomodating all around the bars and restaurants...IF ONLY ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE BEEN ON RECEPTION! The waiter who waited on our table was nicer than reception, the... more

The location of this hotel is good, it's only a 10 minute walk to the main town - however, I would agree with other reviews. The walk is very hilly and not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties or small children. If you choose a hotel along the main sea front, the walk is flat. The rooms are a good... more
