Adequate stay, some drawbacks

helpful staff fresh breakfast taxi inaccessibility limited view

The staff assisted with our luggage. They provided restaurant recommendations, and those were very nice. The breakfast assortment was fresh. The hotel was very close to the waterfront.

The hotel was inaccessible by taxi. A long walk with suitcases was necessary. The room was on the third floor with no elevator. The view from the booked room was a wall and air conditioning units.

inaccessible location obstructed view

Access to the hotel proved difficult. Taxis refused direct service. the room i booked supposedly offered town views. instead, it faced a wall and air conditioning units. i found this particularly disappointing given the hotel's pricing. It was the most expensive of my crete accommodations, yet the least satisfactory.
