Loutro hotels

Pros: The room was nice and clean. Pool area was very nice as well. Stuff was super friendly . Would def stay there again.

Pros: Staff was really helpful and friendly, explained everything about visiting regional “must to see” places, helped with ordering tours. Room was cleaned everyday. Room and kitchen place included everything what could be needed to have a comfortable stay. Hotel is almost on the main road, few minutes drive until super market. Super quiet and very cozy place, would recommend and come back again.

Pros: Our family stayed (2 adults, 11 yrs, 13 yrs, 17 yrs girls) in this hotel for 2 weeks and just have to say that what a beautiful place. Not luxury but really nice and the staff is exeptional. They helped us with everything we needed and even more. The hotel is situated along a busy road but still manages to be quiet and in peace. Pool area with sunbeds is really nice and we spent a lot of time there just sunbathing and swimming and relaxing. The hotel area is really beautiful with lot of flowers and local trees surrounding it.

Pros: This was a spacious apartment for two, a big bathroom with a full size bath! There was a beautiful pool area, bougainvillea, yuccas, palms, plants and flowers, the grounds were lovely. A short walk, less than 10 minutes to the 'Strip' at Kavos.

Pros: Extremely nice and helpful service. The pool was especially awesome as well.

Pros: The staff were amazing. Friendly, and extremely helpful. Had lots of suggestions. Arranged a birthday cake for my daughter ( it was delicious). Also found us car hire. Brilliant can't wait to go back.

Cons: The beds were quite hard although spotlessly clean.

Pros: Family run, quiet and friendly.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The owner was brilliant and made us very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The pool area was great. The bar wasn’t open as we were early season but it looked great. The kids swings and playground was a nice touch and provided hours of entertainment for my 2 year old. It was nice having breakfast and coffee in the room but would have loved a nice big mug rather than wee tea cup.

Cons: The beds were so hard, I couldn’t have stayed any longer than 3 nights. If they upgraded the bed/pillow situation it would be fine for a week stay. The bathroom needs an upgrade as was badly configured and dealing with a 2 year old wasn’t easy.

Pros: The owners went out of their way to help with anything required giving advice on the local area. They were friendly and engaging with our children and were very welcoming. The gardens were beautiful and there was plenty of shady areas to relax and have a drink. There was always sunbeds available and frequently had the pool to ourselves. The little snack bar was adequate for our needs. The cleaning was daily and was to a high standard ( even going above expected and washing up for us on occasions). The view from our balcony was lovely and I couldn't rate this highly enough.

Pros: Very Good hotel close to the Town and fare from the touristic area. Very side minded owner.

Pros: Very friendly owners. Nice facility

Cons: No roomservice during my 3 days stay. (No fresh towels, cleaning etc)

Pros: Surely one of the best, nicest and cleanest places in the south of Crete, with very friendly hosts who take very well care of everything, and a fantastic panorama....

Pros: Made us very welcome, and very helpful.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Best apartments we've ever stayed at. Location amazing and walking distance to beach, supermarkets and tavernas. Very clean and beautiful views from balcony. Pool fantastic and quiet. Owners are lovely.

Pros: Proprietor hospitality was very warm. They provided extra blanket and pillow. Gave good information on where to eat. There was a swimming pool which opened early and closed late.

Cons: Lacked atmosphere however that may be due to time of year and the season just commencing.

Pros: Every thing. Staff, pool view appartment.

Cons: IT would be nice to have a place for your things at the bathroom.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable accommodation which is a 5 minute walk to the beach. The staff were absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend this to families and couples.

Pros: The pool was clean and enjoyable.

Cons: Poor beds, you can actually feel all the springs. 2 simple beds for a couple... dead mosquitos splatters everywhere on the walls and ceiling. The store was broken. Toilets are literally inside the shower. Only a bed sheet for blanket. We didnt sleep at all because of the blood-thirsty mosquitos (we killed almost 20 but there was still plenty). In the middle of the night we decided to go sleep in the car. We understand that the host is not to blame for the mosquitos, but they should have warned us, at least, and put some protection against them in the room.

Pros: Very friendly hosts

Cons: Only one bed sheet as a blanket.

Pros: everything

Cons: nice people. close to the cities very good food

Pros: Close to beach. Room cleaned every day. Wide choice of food for breakfast and dinner. Friendly, approachable staff.

Cons: Lunch was provided at the beach bar, however the selection was not very wide. Wider choice of food needed at beach bar for all inclusive guests. Shouldn't charge all inclusive guests for milkshakes. Mattresses a little uncomfortable.

Pros: Great location just 100 m from everything - center and restaurants, and only 500 m to a nice beach. Furthermore great Service and great room !

Cons: nothing

Pros: The Beds and sea view where perfect.

Pros: A lovely warm welcome from our host on arrival and on hand to ask any questions throughout our stay. The apartments were in a good location, just behind the harbour front restaurants. The room was very fresh and clean, included hairdryer, kettle and fridge facilities. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony, facing the sea or sitting in the apartment gardens in the evening. Very peaceful and relaxing! Location also great to explore Sweetwater Beach and Loutro, daily water taxis, or walking trails. Would love to return!

Pros: Just so lovely in every way. Every detail was wonderful. A beautiful space run by people who care. You couldn’t ask for much more. Tasteful throughout. Super Friendly welcome. We hope to return.

Pros: I had a very pleasant stay, the owners are very friendly and made me feel welcome. The room is good and bed very comfortable. Overall, good value for money! I would sure stay again there.

Cons: The bathroom was very small and a bit uncomfortable. Cleanness was good but could be improved.

Pros: Excellent location, very nice and welcoming host, rooms are new (just renovated), position ideal

Pros: Great space, great management, great location, great feel

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The owners are very nice and available to provide help and useful information. Rooms are simple but nice. There is a nice and very quiet garden. Close to the structure there is a bakery who will wake you up with beautiful bread aroma.

Cons: Partial view on the sea and rooms are a bit small

Pros: Super clean and absolutely beautiful! Big rooms in an amazing central location!

Pros: Very nice decoration. We received a warm welcome.

Pros: Great location, lovely spacious room, very friendly owner.

Cons: The shower was a little small which ended up with water over the floor. Great water pressure though!

Pros: comfort and big room. nearby restaurant and beach. good free wifi.

Pros: The accommodation is modest but in a nice location. It is very clean and the staff was quite helpful. We had a little terrace off our room with a table and chairs. It was lovely sitting there sipping wine and listening to the cicadas.

Cons: The breakfast cost 12 euros per person, 24 euros for two of us. Breakfast was dried bread and jam, a few coldcuts, coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. There was an option of a Cretan cheese breakfast crepe which was excellent but not worth 12 euros per person. As a comparison, we had an excellent dinner at a nearby taverna for 24 euros that included 2 appetizers, 2 main courses, 2 glasses of wine and a beer followed by dessert and raki. When you book the room at Kallicrates, you have the option to add breakfast. I would skip it. You will still be able to get a cup of morning coffee at the pool bar.

Pros: Beautiful setting and location. A perfect luxury break. Great breakfasts and cocktails and Antonis and his team super helpful and welcoming. Super!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Everything was perfect and Abdul the guy in charge of maintenance is perfect . Perfect location to visit imbros gorges Very good swimming pool and rest /bar area . We’ll come back !

Pros: Great location and very nice outdoor breakfast/bar area near a quite large pool (very suitable also for children). Furthermore great service and very nice rooms with sea views.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Bed extra confy

Cons: Everything perfect

Pros: 3mins walking to a really nice quiet beach. An oasis In the middle of nowhere to relax and desconect. If you like crowded tourist complex this is not for you. Great value for money. Host is really helpull.

Cons: sould of the crickets inthe morning is too high :)

Pros: Very nice place to spend some relaxing days in the south of Crete or to go swimming at the beach. The stuff is quite friendly, speeking English very well. Ask for recommendations for must-sees in this region. Go there if you love the seclution in nature, and if you do not want to spend your holidays in big touristic residential Hotels. The outside area of Kallikrates Villiage is perfectly clean, especially the pool and the pool bar!

Cons: The inside furnishing of the Apartments is a little bild old, especially the bathroom. There is only Little Equipment for cooking in the kitchenette. Frangocastello is quite abbandonded, only some Aparthotels, serval Taverns and two supermarkets.

Pros: Paradise! Antonio is so friendly and helpful!! Home atmosphere, silent place, great for relaxing! Perfect mohito ;)

Pros: Good location but some way from the boat dock but this is rellected in the price. No breakfast offered but a kettle and fridge provided. For a simple room, I recommend this place

Cons: For the price this is good value

Pros: Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Modern well appointed room.

Pros: There was a discount on breakfast in the beach bar

Cons: It was a little noisy as it was near the reception area

Pros: Cosy room with everything needed (including glasses and plates), a very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. It was nice to enjoy the view on the sea from the balcony.

Pros: Everything was perfect.

Pros: Rooms have nice furnitures and generally have been restrucutred with taste. Nice breakfast set.

Cons: Rooms and bathrooms are too small. Partial view on the sea

Pros: Superfriendly stuff, very clean, nice and cosy room, good location and very good price.

Cons: There was nothing to dislike

Pros: Loutro is a wonderful place, very quiet without cars and accessible only by boat or on foot. Our room in this pretty hotel was clean with nice furniture and great located hillside over the bay.

Pros: Comfortable room, price/quality way better than northern Crete. View to the bay from the balcony. Super nice staff - picked our bags from the boat while we were walking the gorges. Kayaking to sweet water beach was amazing.

Pros: Great hotel and friendly staff. Had a great experience and will be back for sure. Highly recommend this place

Pros: Spacy room with a nice terrace and a wonderful view, quiet located, as it is not in front row. The bathroom was quite large, and we even had an outdoor shower round the corner of our terrace. Very comfortable bed, and when we asked for a second linen as we are not good in sharing one, we got it instantly. The host was nice, friendly, helpful - perfect!

Cons: -

Pros: Attractive Greek accommodation. The owner was so welcoming, helpful and thoughtful. He would help with anything we needed and even gave us gifts of home produce.

Pros: Located in a quiet place with very nice view, staff was very friendly and willing

Pros: Lovely owner,very friendly would stay there again.

Pros: Peaceful location, clean bright room with small balcony. Roof terrace with sunbeds and shaded eating area. Tea and coffee provided...friendly host...close to everything you need.

Cons: All great.

Pros: Great Hospitality -Ecstatic panoramic views of the port of loutro

Pros: Apartment very convenient located near beaches and restaurants. Hike trails started just beneath the "hotel". The sweetest host ever - came with home cooked fresh pancakes in the morning, homemade jam, fresh fruit and did all he could to make us feel comfortable. Very nice roof terrace and terrace outside the room as well with an excellent view overlooking the bay.

Pros: Great location, very good rooms. Excellent shower

Pros: Fantastic location, great family room overlooking the sea directly on the harbour, very comfortable beds, good restaurant although service a little bit slow, some staff friendly others less so. I really liked Chora Sfakion....very relaxing and quiet with but just enough tourists to make it interesting.

Cons: There are no wardrobes in the family room, it was ok for us as only stayed two nights, but might be a problem if staying longer.

Pros: I loved everything about this hotel

Pros: Recently refurbished rooms. Great staff providing excellent service. Good and reasonably priced food in the restaurant.

Cons: The included breakfast was ok (yogurt, bread, ham, cheese and marmalade + freshly pressed orange juice and coffee of your choice). Still I would probably choose a room without breakfast the next time and by it from one of the nearby restaurants instead.

Pros: I had such a wonderful stay at Livikon Hotel! It was a bit tricky to find at first because the entrance is through a restaurant, but I was also exhausted from hiking all morning so perhaps that's why I missed it! Anyway, the hotel is beautiful. My room was very large, clean, and comfortable, and I had a fantastic view of the harbor from my private balcony. I also appreciated having a mini fridge and a kettle in the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful and there were many great restaurants nearby. Not a far walk to the ferry port. Overall, a really wonderful stay!

Pros: Lovely airy room, with a genuine sea view from the Balcony - the hotel is right on the harbour front. Friendly welcome on arriving, including a complementary Greek coffee. The hotel has plenty of free parking (at their own bakery) two minutes walk away. The restaurant was very good, including the inclusive breakfast. We found Hora Sfakion to be a quiet, relaxed little village, clustered around the small harbour - we actually liked it better than Loutro, which seems to get more attention from the guidebooks. From Hora Sfakion there are plenty of ferries and small boats to other villages along the coast, or you can walk along the clearly marked cliff path to Sweet Water Beach and Loutro (hot, and with steep drops, but a great walk).

Pros: Balcony was spectacular, the lighting was great. The room was very clean. The restaurant was very nice and the staff felt like family.

Cons: There was no kitchenette, the fridge was not good. The room was quite narrow and small. The outdoor furniture could be better.

Pros: Location was perfect, rooms were recently renovated and beautifully decorated. Very clean and tidy with excellent view. Staff was very friendly and helpfull, especially Yiannis, giving us info and tips about the area! We also dinned at the hotels restaurant and we highly recomend it too! We had fresh fish which was delicious and in good price too!

Pros: Bed was comfortable. Location was good.

Cons: Check in was difficult... just finding a staff member was near impossible. Then they regularly request cash as payment for everything. Also, the shower leaks out into the hallway and bedroom. They are aware of this as they said the builder made a mistake with the recently completed renovation. The bottom sheet didn’t stay in place so you’d wake up laying on the bare mattress.

Cons: The staff was not friendly at all, they looked at me like they never saw a colored woman before. The first day they cleaned the room porely, the second day they “forgot” to clean the room. When we wanted to check out in the morning, we couldn’t find anybody at the reception so we just left the key on a table and went away.

Cons: It's pretty far from the airport. We rented a car in order to avoid a $200 taxi drive.

Pros: Clean, very family friendly, great location, friendly staff, children's daycare.

Cons: You need to pay extra per day for use of the beach beds and for internet in the rooms.

Pros: Vantaris Beach Hotel is a great place to stay when you just want to get away from it all and relax. Sure, it's occupancy is 95% German tourists and the demographic is majority older people/retirees. However, this did not deter us, as everyone, no matter age, seemed to have the same goal - to chill out and enjoy the warm weather! Having visited in May, it was still a bit windy, but otherwise it was warm, which was great, as we wanted to hang out at the beach, which was less than 30 seconds from our room. If you purchase the rooms with a 'seaside view' you'll most probably get a room closer to the beach side. The staff at the buffet breakfast were kind and attentive - refilling coffee, bringing you eggs quickly if you were waiting for the tray to be filled. I also liked the freshly squeezed orange juice - a good way to keep up the vitamin C so you don't get ill on holiday! The beds were comfortable, the room was cleaned and wiped down everyday. There was also a small refrigerator, but note that it is not very cold. Beach towels are also provided in the room. At the hotel's section of the beach, there are beach chairs, which are 3 Euros per day. The beach is sandy, however, if you want a bit of comfort, it is nice to have a lounger. Also, not far away from this area, is a hotel bar and restaurant, which is open until 15:30 for lunch. It is then also open until midnight for drinks. If you ever need anything like food, drinks, toiletries, there is a small mini market nearby the pool area. You can also get postcards and stamps, however, the postbox is opposite the hotel. Please note that wifi is available in all public areas, but if you want wifi in your hotel room, you need to pay 1 Euro per day. I thought this was rather silly, but considering it is Greece and they need to take every Euro they can get, I was not surprised.

Cons: - Paying for wifi in the room - that's just odd. - The most comfortable way to get to the hotel is via taxi or shuttle bus, but this is money out of your pocket. - The fridge in the room was not cold/strong enough.

Pros: Amazing breakfast and very good cervise from the staff. Nice and clean. Best view ever. We will be back.

Pros: Great breakfast, perfect location (difficult not to have a good location in Loutro). Nice staff.

Pros: Location, staff, breakfast and views are incredible

Cons: The beds are a little hard

Pros: Location is perfect and Marina the hotel manager was so lovely and helpful. Breakfast is very good!!

Pros: Nice people serving.

Cons: Narrow room and small bathroom. We were 4 pax and it was not so comfortable.

Pros: The receptionist was very helpful and gave some hints how we could spend our time in Loutro. The room was spacious with comfortable beds, and an amazing view to the sea side. The breakfast was very good! You should definitely try the yoghurt with fruits and the Sfakian cheese pie.

Cons: Nothing that we didn't like.

Pros: Breakfast very good. All over friendly service. Full view of Loutro from small balcony!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We liked everything else, the room was clean and tidy, quite spacious, the view from our balcony great. The shower was quite small but adequate for us. Breakfast was amazing, by the sea too... Great reception service. Will be back soon.

Cons: It was quite expensive, no hairdryer

Pros: The location and breakfast. Staff also helpful.

Cons: Rooms are fine but nothing to write home about.

Pros: Very friendly receptionist, speaking english very well. The rooms are exactly as on the pictures, so a little bit outdated, but clean. The hotel is very close to the ferry landing, so you don't have to walk far with your luggage. Breakfast is good (omelet/waffles/bread/sweets/fruit/coffees/fresh orange juice). Nice to sit on their terrace in the mornings and having your coffee, even before breakfast.

Cons: The bathroom needs a new shower door.

Pros: The room was recently renovated and it has air-conditioning. The hotel is situated in the center of the little village, very convenient to catch the ferry. They can provide free parking nearby. The restaurant has very nice fresh fish and typical local food.

Cons: During our stay it was particularly hot, but the room had air-conditioning so we could survive.

Pros: Quiet village and friendly staff. A great place to relax. Added bonus that is right at the seaside so you could always have a nice swim right before the breakfast. Food was great and this is a good place if you want to have fresh fish everyday.

Cons: I wish I had spare time to stay longer.

Pros: Amazing view across the port.

Pros: Helpfull and nice staff. A newly renovated hotel. The beds were brand new and soft (best beds we slept in during our holiday in Crete). Great breakfast with a view.

Cons: Could have stayed there longer than one night.

Pros: A great spot just near the ferry and right on the front. The view from the restaurant is stunning. The food was excellent. We went for the fresh fish in the ice display so a bit pricey. Wine and Weiss beer good. Complimentary water melon refreshing. The jury is out on the Raki but that’s a matter of choice. We kept the room to noon so we had a walk and collected our bags for the next ferry.

Pros: Yiannis is an amazing host, very accommodating, friendly and helpful - as were all the staff. The rooms have recently been renovated and were spotless. The beds were most comfortable with great views of the harbor - amazing to wake up to. Great breakfast included - our dinner at the restaurant so fresh and tasty. We look forward to coming back.

Cons: Wish we had stayed longer !

Pros: I loved being able to see the sea from our windows. Very good a/c (it was hot and humid), good food and free parking, and great helpful staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Booket the No problem suite! Beautiful, Quiet, super beds. Nice seaview. Staff is friendly, food and coffee the best in town. Excelent hotel!

Pros: Magnificent location. Truly remarkable

Cons: The bed was not long enough for me to sleep comfortably

Pros: The location and accommodation was perfect, the staff were lovely, friendly and kind. Food delicious and a lovely ambient atmosphere always.

Pros: Views from the balcony were stunning. A wonderful place to sit and see the bay.

Cons: If you like to go to sleep early, the music in the bar below goes on until midnight (or later at weekends) which is a draw back. The bathroom is quite cramped and the shower head isn’t mounted on the wall so the whole room gets very wet quickly.

Pros: The owner, Ms. Christina was very helpful and friendly. The location was great as it was near all the ferries arrive so we didn't need to carry our suitcases too far.

Cons: The facility was old and it was very expensive for what we paid for. The AC in the room was not working properly and making huge noises through all night so we could not sleep at all.

Pros: Spectacular view from water front balconies.

Pros: Place was always very clean - cleaned daily. The view from the balcony was lovely and the owner was very nice. We were allowed to check in early as our room was already ready.

Cons: It was a bit outdated. The bathroom in particular was quite old. For the price there are better accomodation options in Loutro.

Pros: The service in general. Except room cleaning Location is perfect

Cons: All hotels in Loutro are simple. I think this one is no better or worse than others. But offers online registration and reservation. For a better deal best yo book directly with each hotel

Pros: The location and service

Cons: It was quite loud at night due to the music downstairs. The music was on until 1am

Pros: Nice location

Cons: Needs a lot of maintenance, electricity plugs were hunging, doors extremely noisy, bathroom needed total renovation

Pros: Fantastic location & great staff!

Cons: The shower does not have hot water.

Pros: Location

Cons: We said 4 people and we were given a room for three So one slept in a very uncomfortable chair that opened into a single small bed with no matress

Pros: Big and clean room with nice bathroom

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Loutro is a perfect place to stay, we totally recommend it, and this place is very well located. For the price, it was a comfortable and nice bedroom, with all that you need for your stay.

Pros: lovely room with modern, clean facilities. lovely staff with sea view balcony

Pros: View from 2nd floor was great

Pros: Convenient location. Nice room, clean and thoughfully decorated. Great staff.

Cons: Water was not quite warm enough

Pros: Nicely decorated room and bathroom and clean

Cons: Hand held shower in bathroom and not enough hot water for two showers Internet wasn't strong enough to pick up in bedrooms TV signal too weak for tv to work No tea/coffee although there was a kettle and two cups No toiletries in bathroom Confusion over bill payment on departure and card.machine wasn't working

Pros: The faboulos see view from our balcony. Spatious room. Fresh orange juice at breakfast.

Cons: The complimentory soap and shampoo was not good. Surprised to find out it was made in China. There are much better soaps and shampoo made locally, in Crete!

Pros: We had a wonderfull few days with extremely friendly people. We wished to have stayed longer. This place is a treasure in a fantastic scenery ! We will come back for sure !

Pros: We loved food, views, e4 path, ,hosts, sites around, goats, cats and other animals

Cons: Everything is fine and tasty and simple. We enjoyed the stay and support .

Pros: The location is so beautiful absolutely lovely the sea is so clear and the location so peaceful the taverna sold Good Greek food and a lovely breakfast and the staff were welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend

Cons: So much is so fantastic about this property so I feel a little mean when I say that the comfort of the rooms could be Better the beds are basic and pillows rock solid no toiletries or others nice bits that would make the stay so much more comfortable. There is nowhere to really be comfortable no big comfy chairs outside to sit and lounge just a few more Little touches would just Finnish the place off and I think people would be prepared to pay a little extra as the setting is unique

Pros: Taverna Akrogiali was a delight from the moment we were picked up at Loutro by the Taverna's boat (free transfers both ways on arrival and departure). The approach by boat to the small bay was a lovely beginning to our holiday. The Taverna is small and fairly basic but has real character. There is a vine and mulberry covered patio where you eat or just relax. You could also buy their own honey although we had plenty each morning with our breakfast. We took a room with three single beds which was fine for our short stay of two nights but possibly a little small if you wanted to stay longer. It had good air conditioning and a spacious shower room. Decor was a little idiosyncrastic- there was a framed tapestry of what looked like an English hunting scene on the wall!! But other than that it was white, clean and simply furnished. The balcony was small but we didn't really need it as it was so lovely on the patio. Breakfast was delicious and the other meals were tasty too. Fresh chilled tap water (safe to drink) was supplied free whenever needed, to drink immediately or to fill our bottles - good for the environment as less plastic waste and it saved us money! The owners and staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome as guests...we didn't want to leave. Highlights were picking and eating fresh white mulberries and cuddling the baby goat that they were hand-rearing. The bay was pebbly (take water shoes) But there was some good snorkeling. We hired canoes from the next door Taverna (only 2 in this bay) and paddled to Marmara beach about 30mins away where there are sea caves and a gorge you can walk through as well as a good beach cafe. It is possible to walk from Lykos to Loutro (approx40mins) or to Marmara (a bit precipitous).

Cons: Difficult to fault! Don't expect daily room service but if you need anything the staff would be keen and willing to help. Come here if you prefer character to luxury.

Pros: Beautiful location friendly staff great stay

Pros: The owner and personnel were gorgeous.

Cons: Don’t go by car. Very bad and dangerous road. Prefer the boat

Pros: Secluded location, the ultimate beachside taverna. Pavlos and Kostas were amazingly friendly. Great breakfasts. Don’t come expecting luxury - this is basic, but all the better for it.

Cons: Not much. We have two young kids (4 and 6) and thought they may not enjoy it - they loved it.

Pros: Location and friendly staff. Pavlos and Costas couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. They also pick you up from the ferry in Loutro free of charge and take you back there at the end of your stay The terrace and the views all round are fantastic

Cons: The water pump which pumps the water from Loutro broke down and we had to resort to buckets of sea water to flush the toilet! This was obviously not the hotel’s fault though.

Pros: Really nice people, beautiful location overlooking the sea, quiet spot but near to Loutro (accessible by boat or a slightly tricky path if you fancy the walk), good swimming and snorkelling. Pavlos picked us up in his launch from Loutro, and Costas dropped us off back at the harbour.

Cons: The shower was a bit underpowered, and the bed had one broken slat.

Pros: The quiet and solitude.

Cons: Thick Blankets on beds that looked unwashed

Pros: Very nice location at the harbour, excellent restaurant (among many others). Very relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Cons: Our room had only partial sea-view; that was the only negative aspect.

Pros: Great stuff, perfect breakfast, comfortable bed

Pros: very friendly staff, Ioaniss and his brother adviced us with interesting trips, it is calm place, Vrisi beach 3 mins from accommodation, trip boat in front of accommodation - 2 mins, very good meal, fresh fish, very good greek breakfest, greek yoghurt with honey is delicious, room was cleaned every day, fresh fruits in room

Cons: none

Pros: Fantastic location, hospitality and food - all in one place

Cons: Beds are a bit loud ;)

Pros: Nice hotel with friendly staff. We had a family room with fantastic sea view. Right at the heart of Sfakia closed to the boat for Loutro and Sweet Water Beach. Room is clean and spacious. Higly recommended.

Pros: Great staff, nice centrally located, with a view. Everything as described in the offer

Cons: Beds are soft - if someone likes

Pros: The ease of booking and that I did not have to ask for my case to be taken to my room The breakfast was lovely

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very nice and clean hotel with seaview. The room was very cosy and comfortable - the breakfast delicious and the staff very friendly. Everthing perfekt for us - unfortunately we just stayed one night.

Pros: Simple but comfortable. The room and the bathroom could do with a little maintenance but generally things worked ok, including the air conditioning.

Pros: authentic Southern Cretan location. Warmest hospitality!

Cons: nothing

Pros: Friendly staff, great location next to beach. Little balcony overlooking the sea. Little table where you could have breakfast in the garden

Cons: The room was basic, but perfectly fine for a short stay.

Pros: The hotel was very well located just 30 seconds from the beach, our room was really nice with sea view and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming. The whole family was very nice, we would definitely come back!

Pros: Absolutely fabulous beach right at the hotel, complete with sea caves for swimming into! Also, you can catch the early morning bus right at the hotel; no need to walk into town. Manager was very helpful in providing that information, saving us the cost of a taxi or a long walk.

Cons: Being out of town, you're limited to the hotel's own restaurant if you don't want to walk into Hora Sfakion (if you don't have a rental car). We were there in shoulder season (early October) so the menu/kitchen was a bit limited.

Pros: It is difficult to give an objective judgement about this place. If you want a simple, calm greek beach-hotel in a spectacular location for a reasonable price, this is your place. The beach is spectacular.

Cons: If it‘s nightlife, animation and luxury you‘re after, this is not your place. Not a drawback in itself, but you ought to know.

Pros: Fantastic location, room of better quality and service and much cleaner compared to similarly priced rooms I have stayed in at Hora Sfakion. The taverna operated by the same people is really worth a visit, even if you don't stay here. Don't miss the beach to the east that you can swim to from the main beach (100m swim around the rocks), not accessible by land.

Cons: Very noisy during the night, with left-open doors slamming because of the air. The room doors should be replaced, we couldn't get much sleep. Insect nets not installed at the windows, so if you leave your window open be prepared for guests The room in our price range (40€) had view of the parking (rooms 1-4)

Pros: Nice place, fantastic beach and nice staff. We can swimm in sea in half of october.

Cons: Start of gorge was without threes and without shadow. But it is not problem of owner or staff.

Pros: What an amazing place! Nikos and his family were so friendly and helpful, the room was spotless and the beach is incredible. Places like this are few and far between and I felt lucky to have the chance to stay there - thank-you Nikos and family! Helen

Pros: The family who owned Illingas were very welcoming and helpful.

Cons: Unfortunately there were no bath towels available, but we were given extra handtowels. Limited dinner menu, it would have been nice to have a larger selection of dishes.

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic! Great location and the food was wonderful.

Pros: It was comfortable , clean and quiet. It was a great base to travel from as it was convenient to ferry . I would recommend the hotel and it was great value .

Pros: The location is perfect and the room was extremely barebones but reflected the very competitive price! The staff was helpful and the hotel restaurant was OK. Overall, I think the price is fair and reflects perfectly the quality of the room and should set your expectations accordingly.

Cons: The room door was like a paperwall so if you had anything of value it would not be safe in the room, then again the location might have zero muggings but you can never be too certain! Another downside was the very small beds - if you are tall prepare for a significant chunk of your feet to hang...

Pros: Perfect location. We had nice sea view. Friendly staff.

Pros: Style, white walls and natural wood windows and shades - feel cosy

Cons: Bathroom - loud water tank in the toilet

Pros: Great location, view and value

Cons: Bathroom a little tierd

Pros: Location

Cons: Need to be renovated

Pros: The location, the view from the balcony and the helpful staff

Cons: Can't think of anything

Pros: Great location and there are many restaurants and shops near the hotel.

Cons: We had to walk up a lot of stairs and a steep hill to get to our room. Plumbing was not the best and an older hotel. It was good for one night and probably for a few more nights if we had longer to stay. Parking was very limited for us having a rental car.

Pros: Location and comfort

Cons: No problems at all. I would recommend.

Pros: Location and value for money.

Cons: Toilet and shower facilities and general comfort.
