My best ever singles holiday. A holiday diamond! I thoroughly enjoyed my first stay at the Mistral Hotel. It was like a breath of fresh air compared to other single holidays I have been on and I am so glad that it was recommended to me. The staff are wonderful and cannot do enough to make you feel at home.... More

This is a wonderful small hotel, offering an ideal place to relax in peace, with the snow on the mountains behind, and the sea sparkling in front. The food is superb : all Cretan and made with home grown vegetables, utterly delicious. The gardens are small but very pretty, there are also two swimming pools. There are plenty of options... More

The photography course at The Mistral in Maleme, Crete, turned out to be an exceptionally enjoyable week. Harvey, (who is married to the lovely Donna – hostess / receptionist and face of the hotel) is a professional photographer with an extraordinary flair for capturing the imagination. He has enormous experience and understanding of photography with a very impressive portfolio, but... More

Perfect hotel, with perfect hosts. A traditional Easter experience – with a truly united family. The food was excellent and the drinks flowed to add balance and enjoyment. Whether I was on the deckchair or in the musical minibus, there was always fun and a reason to laugh. You meet all sorts – and it’s true what they say about... More

I had a pleasant enough stay at the Mistral, it’s a upper end priced holiday and I could not find any official star rating for such an established hotel. I am amazed how so many others who have reviewed think this is a world class hotel, It is well presented, but its location is very busy and out front is... More

I haven't travelled very much and haven't stayed in many hotels to offer comparisons. For me though, at the time I went in 2nd half of August 2011, it was a fantastic holiday. It was my first holiday alone and didn't want to feel like Billy-no-mates which is why I chose the Mistral specialising in single/solo travellers. I used this... More

This place is a unique experience for any single traveller, I was a bit unsure when I book for the first time but never regret the choice. I have read the reviews and emailed the hotel to inquire for availability and prices. Donna has been very prompt in answering and assisted me throughout the booking process. Upon arrival in Chania...

Been in love with the Mistral for six years now. How not to be? The hotel is relaxed and intimate yet offers loads of personal space if that is what you want. I have made so many lovely friends over the years, many of whom I see beyond the summer break. And Vassilis, Adonis, their staff and lovely Donna are... More

I’ve been a guest in the Mistral during July 2011, being there for the 5th consecutive year and certainly not the last! In fact, the high percentage of repeating customers speaks for itself, the Mistral, as a family run hotel, offers great service for the money – consider 7 nights in a 4 stars hotel, two meals per day (breakfast...
