Very well prepared, very clean and comfortable room. The staff was also very friendly. Although it was a few minutes walk to the center of town, there was a good bakery and supermarket nearby.

We loved everything about our stay at the Nautilux. As far as we are concerned, it is clearly a very well run hotel. Every single staff member that we met was so helpful and friendly. The pool area and proximity to the beach was perfect. Parking at the hotel was stress free. We walked into the center of town ….once! It was a lovely walk but the best thing is that there are always taxis available right by the hotel and in the town to bring you to and fro. Town was definitely worth a visit. There are also lots of restaurants and bars nearby if you prefer to stay near the hotel. We particularly liked the Taverna next door. Breakfast at the hotel was great too! Lovely hotel… definitely recommended!

The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored 1937 building. The original hand-laid cement tile floors have been preserved, giving each room its own unique charm and character. These historic elements blend seamlessly with the modern interior design, which elegantly combines metal and wood. The high ceilings and large windows create a spacious feel and allow for plenty of natural light, adding to the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The service at this hotel is top-notch. The staff is incredibly engaged, attentive, and always ready to offer helpful recommendations about local attractions. The hotel’s location is excellent – just a short walk from the charming streets of the Old Town, the Venetian Harbor, and Chania’s main attractions. The nearby public parking (with good price) is a great convenience. Mosaic Hotel is a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience authentic Cretan hospitality in a beautifully designed setting.

The location was wonderful, right on the beach, amazing views, watching the sunset every night. The room was lovely, super clean, air con worked excellently, the owners were helpful and brought whatever we requested, they're kind and hospitable and we would like to visit again. Highly recommend for families because beach is walking distance and there aren't any stairs in the property to be worried about.

Ostrakon is a new, modern hotel. Very clean with great amenities, especially the basket with extra utensils like an iron, which was very practical. I like the family atmosphere, especially conveyed by Maria. The direct beach access was very convenient and the breakfast right on the beach with a view of the sea was perfect! The staff at Me Gusta were also very friendly! Thank you Maria for making our vacation wonderful with your tips and your loving nature! I will be back! Efcharistó poli!

Hotel is located almost on the beach, what was the best thing. Breakfast was mostly similar each day, but there were so many things to eat that You can eat every day something different. Personnel was very kind and helpful. Seaside view was great - mostly during evenings. Beds and umbrellas on the pool and on the beach was available. From street side – a lot of pubs restaurants and shops.

The location was amazing - right on the beach with loungers and umbrellas aplenty. Our room had a lovely patio alongside which was a great spot to eat breakfast. The kitchenette had everything necessary for preparing breakfast and lunch. And Effi is the perfect host. Lots of suggestions for restaurants and activities. She found us some beach umbrellas for our trip to Elefonissi and gave us tips for our Athens stay. There is also a lovely yard with ocean view and couches and shade for a space to relax in the evening or out of the sun.

Wonderful hotel situated right on the beautiful beachfront of Molos Bay. The hotel is recently refurbished with spacious room and modern decor, exceptionally clean and quiet. The hotel has a nice outdoor pool and also a large number of sunbeds and parasols right on the beach.Breakfast is good and the hotel is excellent value for money. However the staff make it, such a friendly welcome and we were made to feel right at home.

The trip was perfect, we came to the hotel and they have upgraded our room to something unbelievable, not only we had quite big private pool for 2 rooms, but also a astonishing view on the seaside and mountains nearby. The private beach of the hotel was in the beautiful bay between two mountains. The food was delicious, but it depends of what you prefer, we really liked all the traditional food. Definitely will come back again 👍

The location of the hotel is one of the best (if not the best) in Stalida, right on the beachfront. It is perfect for relaxing holiday. The stuff were friendly and accommodating. We had a minor issue with our room upon arrival, but it was promptly resolved.
