Mysigt familjeägt hotell.

Trevlig familj som äger och sköter hotellet. Mysigt. Charmigt. Stranden nära men EJ sol å badvänlig. Bussar går ofta in mot Platanias och Chania. Beroende av bussen. Dålig städning, en gång på en vecka. Annars toppen. Prisvärt!! Lugnt å skönt. Området heter Pirgos å ligger utf själva centrala Platanias m alla dess restauranger å bad.

Summer Lodge Maleme Crete 25/6 to 2/7 2019

Excellent budget hotel with good sized pool,very clean with very pleasant and helpful staff,Vassilis & family couldn't do enough for you.Plenty of positives here with negatives being very patchy WI FI reception,also room we stayed in no ground level socket for kettle not practical,also no cutlery or crockery provided which is very surprising as this is primarily a self catering accommodation.That said,would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others, other point a good 500M to main resort area.

Buon albergo, prezzi modici, evitate la colazione

Bell'albergo dotato di piscina. Impresa familiare, tutti gentilissimi specialmente la signora Athena, prodiga di consigli anche su dove andare a mangiare ( consigliata la Black Lanter a 300m, ottimo cibo) Manca il condizionatore ( viè un ventilatore tipo quelli da tavolo fissato alla parete). Camera ampia, letti abbastanza comodi, frigorifero. Bagno un po' piccolo se confrontato con la camera e lavandino piccolino. Colazione a parte costo 4 euro per qualche fetta di pane, un po' di marmellata ed un caffè filtrato all'americana che per un italiano equivale a sciacquatura di piatti, semplicemente imbevibile. Evitatela Tutto sommato un esperienza positiva visto il prezzo. PS: il luogo è un po' isolato, se non avete l'auto non so se vi è lì vicino una fermata dei mezzi pubblici.

Lugn och ro i Maleme, Kreta

Ett litet trevligt familjedrivet hotell som ligger längs med huvudgatan.5 min till lång lugn strand. Ägaren trevlig och hjälpsam. Frukost erbjuds. Ej daglig städning. Mindre pool fanns och var helt OK. Gav tips och information om resmålet. Talar en del svenska. Även byn var lugn med några affärer och restauranger. Bankautomat finns vid stormarknad 5 min bort.

Buona struttura per una vacanza itinerante

La signora che gestisce la struttura è stata di molto aiuto per l'organizzazione dei giorni di vacanza successivi. Carina e aperta fino a tardi la piscina. Ottima location per escursioni su balos e elafonissos. A 5 minuti dalla superstrada
