“Needs a serious refresh”

Reviewed October 13, 2012

Charming construction but would need serious refreshment as well in the common parts than in the rooms. Not clean and many things neglected. Staff was friendly and welcoming. You need a car if you want to stay here.

“Unique and Affordable. Great Location for travellers with private transportation.”

Reviewed August 10, 2012

We stayed here in July 2012. The price was great and the reviews and pictures were mostly favorable, so we decided to take a chance on the location. We rented a car upon arrival to Heraklion. It is a 10 -15 minute drive from the airport to Arolithos. The road leading to the hotel is narrow and winding and a... More

Our services is a combination of hosting, organising events and conserving the traditional elements of the beautifull island of Crete. We are very proud for that because local people choose Arolithos as one of the better venues for events and celebrations.... More

The people are very helpful and friendly. If you are limited funds and cannot afford your own set of wheels this is not the place for you. It is far away from most of the stuff tourists want to see.

“Fun, 'traditional' but a bit touristy”

Reviewed April 20, 2012

This little 'traditional' village in the mountains near Iraklion was a welcome breath of fresh air after the bustle of the city. The little apartment was very quiet and comfortable. The bathroom had quirky plumbing but was fine. We were almost the only guests in the taverna and though there was no choice of food we were given a decent... More

“Perfect place to stay if you want to relax”

Arolithos is a small village with the atmosphere of an old traditional cretean village. It is situated on a hill about 10 km far away from Heraklion, so it's the perfect place if you want to avoid the confusion, the traffic and the noise of the city. Rooms are very simple but with everything you really need: air conditioning, fridge,... More

“Beautiful”

Reviewed July 21, 2011

Located away from the crowd in a nice country side. relaxing atmosphere in a BEUTIFUL reproduction of an ancient cretan village. It was so beutiful that buses of tourists often come to the hotel for a visit. Rooms are essentials but clean. Cheap cost compared to the place. Definitively a place to recommend and where to return.
