Unforgettable Hospitality & A Wonderful Stay
I stayed at this lovely hotel in Crete for just one night, but the kindness and care I received will stay with me much longer.
After checking out very early in the morning (around 4:20am), I took a taxi—organized by Yiannis, whose family runs the hotel—to Heraklion Airport. In the rush of the morning, I accidentally left my phone in the taxi and only realized it after arriving back in Germany. It was a distressing situation, but Yiannis went above and beyond to help.
Not only did the taxi driver return my phone to the hotel, but Yiannis took it upon himself to assist me every step of the way. He stayed in contact, reached out to DHL, and helped coordinate the safe return of my phone. His willingness to help, his calm communication, and genuine care made all the difference. This, to me, is filoxenia at its finest—true Greek hospitality that goes beyond expectations.
As for the hotel itself: the room was perfect—quiet, clean, with a very comfy bed and modern facilities. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city, walking distance to the harbor and everything else you'd want to explore in town.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Crete. A beautiful place run by beautiful people.
