Perfect location, great view of the habour; quiet; mainly clean; room simple but well equipped. The cleaning lady is friendly. Very good value for money. They have a cafe / restaurant atteched: good. I recommend the super delicious Sfakia Pita (cheese filled pancake with honey).

The owner or manager is somewhat grumpy (I travel a lot - but have never been greeted by a receptionist with "what do you want?"). Later he became a bit more amenable and in the end even sort of friendly.* The joints between the bathroom tiles deserve thorough cleaning: signs of mould. The "free toiletries" consisted of two pieces of soap. * Curiously, the male population of Chora Sfakion seems to consist of 50 brothers. They all look the same, and all like Tintin's difficult friend Capitaine Haddock.

The location is great with the main strip of restaurants right down stairs. The room was good, and it had a great view of the sea. Overall, it meet my expectations for a short 1 night stay.

The shower was rather small. You also cannot drive to the hotel as it is on a footpath. You have to park a 5 minute walk away, but the front desk was able to give me a parking pass for free

I stayed one night in January. The host was kind and he let me know I can call him anytime if I need anything. I didn't need anything. The room was perfect; it had everything I needed, even a mini fridge. The hot water from the tap got so hot that I didn't need a kettle for tea. That was a perk. The room was comfortable. Was able to wash with comfortable warm water. The view was top notch, and the balcony couldn't have been any better. I didn't want to leave. I would definitely stay at Hotel Alkyon again.

balcony view

steps on seaside. there was an easier way in with ramp at the back. On arrival one could use the back entrance (senior guest)

I liked my room with a balcony and sea view. There is a small fridge in the room, AC is working well, immediately hot water in the shower.

The staff has to take care both of the restaurant in front of the hotel and the rooms, which means there is little time to ask for information.

We liked the location and the cost, and were very glad of the air conditioning. We are not used to showers with no curtain or glass panels and had to be careful not to accidentally wet the toilet paper! Pleased to have a little fridge.

The flushing mechanism for the toilet was not effective.

The room was very clean with a nice view to the port and its crystalline waters. Cleaning lady would come everyday to tidy up and clean. At first I was worried that it would be noisy given that underneath there are many restaurants but it was surprisingly quiet in the evening. It was perfect as a basis for our little trips around Sfakia and the owners where very kind and helpful.

My only complain is the fact that in the evening I could hear the buzz of a motor - probably the air conditioners from nearby rooms, but I am very sensitive to noise so maybe other people would be ok with that. Also, I think the owners should take care of the drain in the showers as it gets clogged very quickly and then you have to shower in a pond of soapy water. All the rest was pretty awesome and much better than my expectations. I also think that the place could benefit by offering laundry service. It's really hard to wash clothes anywhere in the broader area.

Basic Hotel in good price to stay in Chora Sfakion. The non-included breakfast in downstairs cafe is excellent, especially "omeleta" (scrambled eggs) and "sfakiani pita" (fried pie with cheese and honey on top).

The bathroom could be in better condition

Good quality price ratio. Room was big enough for two. Air conditioning working well. Very calm. View of the sea. Balcony.

Every shower water was going on the floor, as the sheet cover was not enough and the bathroom carpet was changed once each two days. Bathroom wasn't great.

You cant oversee the place as the name its written on the hotel and you spot it from the ferry. Its location is very comfy right above the promenade with all the tavernas and overlooking the harbour. Its a charming place after all. We hadnt breakfast there as I read the reviews about before we went and decided to go to one of the tavernas "downtown".

The rooms were small and had an odd shape; the furniture was outdated and tacky. You need to ask for a kettle or a washing bowl. The staff is not too ambitioned there. There was no communication before and no recommendation where to park your car.
