This hotel is a great option if you plan to stay in Hora Sfakion and use the town as a base. Hora Sfakion is a hub for ferries serving South West Crete, and so you can easily get to all of the popular destinations in this area (e.g. Loutro, Mamara etc) from your doorstep. It's right on the front, so there are lots of options for eating (including the hotel itself of course). There are a couple of supermarkets and an excellent bakery nearby. Staff are friendly, professional and keen to help. Despite being on the front (which was one of the attractions to us) the room was very quiet - just the sound of lapping waves, and the occasional ferry at the nearby new harbour. The room has a small fridge and a kettle. Vrisi beach is a 5 minute walk away - it's pebbly, but a good swimming beach and, as it isn't a destination beach, can actually be quite quiet. If you come by car the hotel will give you a parking permit to display in your car (there is parking on the west side, but we always managed to find parking on the east side when you drive into the town (except for one day).

The room is described as a small suite. The main room was perfectly sized, but the lobby area that provides, I think, additional sleeping space would only really be suitable for children and/or a short stay. There is also a bit of a shortage of storage space - we just left our suitcases open in the 'lobby' area. That said we would happily stay here again.

Most friendly staff ever. We traveled around Crete for 14days and changed hotels every night. By far this was the best welcome! Just like you were meeting up with old friends. The rooms are simple. White with blue shutters. With a view. What else do you need! The restaurant downstairs was great. We were there for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics. The staff installed a big TV outside so we could enjoy the show during dinner. It was great. The restaurant team was super professional. A big up to the barrister and to the waiter in charge, who spoke French. They made everything possible to make the evening great.

We truly enjoyed the refreshing Cretan hospitality offered during our stay at this lovely hotel. The hotel is located in the small port village of Hora Sfakion (on the southern coast of Crete, west of Plakias), that we reached by flying in to Chania and driving a rental car through 2 hours of winding countryside. The hotel is perfect for sunny and stress-free relaxation, hiking, exploring the coast, and swimming in the nearby beach below Zoe's Taverna or one of the other beaches reached via water taxi. The hotel offers dedicated parking which is free to hotel guests. The hotel was recently renovated and has its own terrace restaurant and outdoor seating areas. The room was comfortable, spacious, light, airy and spotlessly clean, with excellent A/C, and beautiful views of the sea from our room's balcony. The beds, comforters and pillows were the most comfortable we'd experienced in a long time; the bathrooms were modern and efficient with great water pressure and good-sized walk-in showers. The local and international staff are very friendly, hospitable and helpful, chatting with us in excellent english. We ate in their restaurant several times and the local Sfakian and traditional Cretan dishes were delicious. Shout-out to Momma for her amazing desserts!

Nothing - it was perfect in every sense!

Wow! What an incredible place to stay! The room was quite generously sized, and had plenty of space for 3 people. Gorgeous view, wonderful balcony, and very comfy mattresses. Great bathroom; best shower we had during our 10-day trip to Crete. The hotel restaurant was also delicious. We ate dinner there every night during our 4-night stay. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Nothing.

The rooms as the quintessential white and blue, with view of the sea to die for - the sound of waves break on the shingle lulls you to sleep. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. The village immediately makes you feel at home.

Everything was better than expected

The location couldn't have been more ideal, with a stunning balcony offering breathtaking views of the beach. This tranquil gem is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of tourists, providing a truly serene and relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect escape!

There wasn’t elevator access and we were on the second floor with luggage.

Really lovely room, clean, good size, and well maintained. Staff were attentive and friendly

Such a small thing, but our shower head wasn't working properly

Very nice breakfast with fresh fruit salad yoghurt traditional sfakian pita and coffee as well as other choices.The restaurant offers excellent choice of meals for lunch/ dinner with fresh ingredients and generous servings. Always friendly professional staff.

Lovely view overlooking the old harbour, spacious room and nice balcony. Very nice restaurant, good service and an excellent local wine list.

No towel change in a 4 day stay but good for the environment! Kettle provided but only 1 mug and no tea or coffee.

Exceptional hotel.Staff&manager so friendly and helpful. We received welcome drinks and a lot of tips&tricks about restaurants &terrace. The breakfast and hotel restaurant foods is excellent. Definitely will come back here.

Everything was perfect.
