This place is a real mixed bag. There are some good things:
- The staff are super friendly and helpful
- The location is excellent, a 2 minute walk to the lake, a local beach a minute away, tavernas and a local convenience store.
- Daily cleaning
The bad bits:
- This is possibly the noisiest hotel weâve ever stayed in. Now I know, this isnât a luxury Hotel, but being woken up constantly by the amount of noise coming from the communal areas was a problem. Iâm not talking about people being inconsiderate, itâs just there is so little isolation provided by the door and walls.
- The rooms are super dated and dirty. Yes they surface cleaned every day, but the level of grime of dirt and grime in the areas not cleaned is not nice. The plugs were faulty, there were a few exposed cables. Parts of the bathroom were broken.
So itâs a shame. I donât like writing grumpy reviews, after all the staff were lovely. But the overall experience of staying here wasnât great and I know that if we ever came back to Agios Nikolaos, I wouldnât be staying at this hotel again. We stayed at two other places whilst in Crete and they were both fantastic and for less than what we paid here!
