Khondros Hotels

"Great people, great service, great location, great accommodations. Nothing to complain about. Highly recommend."

"Came in the off season, and it was a complete bait and switch. Actual hotel was closed (including pool and restaurant (so no breakfast)). Placed us next door in tiny apartments. Manager gave us the key and left the property. First room had a broken toilet seat so moved us to another one. Staff spoke no English and didn’t understand that we need password for WiFi. Blanket on bed was wet. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but left the next morning."

"Very nice hotel with comfotable rooms with sea or Mountain View’s, welcoming host who remember previous visits and excellent continental breakfast "

"A beautiful setting to explore the enchanted village of Archanes. Be prepared for lots of friendly cats, you may wish to bring some treats with you, or pick some up at the local market. Hosts recommendations for dining and exploring were very good."

"Stunning property in a newly restored old house. Beautiful, spacious and well-appointed room. The common areas were comfortable and there was a lovely balcony. The breakfast which was beautifully served on the balcony was beyond compare. Local, fresh, and delicious Cretan treats. Archanes is close to Heraklion and the palace of Knossos and had plenty of dining options. We were in Greece for three weeks and our night at Carpe Diem was probably our best stay. Can’t recommend highly enough. "

"Great hotel. Definitely will stay there in the future!"

"Superb hotel to stay in the mountains!"

"Excellent stay and excellent food. "

"Excellent hotel, outstanding concierge (ladies in blue), very good food, housekeeping is a bit inconsistent, great big modern rooms each with a pool...splurge for the rooms with a gym mainly to get a 2x sized pool/terrace plus sauna, it is like an apartment."

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Lovely food, great amenities and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. The vibe is relaxed and it feels like there is a good amount of space so nowhere feels too crowded. We were there just as a couple but there were lots of families and children there but not to the point where it was disruptive if you’re just trying to have a relaxing time. Would definitely go back."

"We really enjoyed our stay here. Nice and central and very nice inside/outside. The HB vouchers gave us flexibility to choose how we wanted to use them, be it an afternoon or evening."

"Very nice and clean villa with great and friendly hosts. Great restaurants in the area. Everything was perfect. Thanks a lot Michalis! "

"Beautiful property and lovely food - great for families"

"This hotel was really nice, the staff were friendly and helpful, made the stay very pleasant, the rooms were amazing. The sea view. I would definitely come here again"

"Overall, it was a beautiful, family-run hotel that was clean, well-maintained, and had excellent facilities. The pool was nice and the breakfast was delicious and diverse, combining local and international flavors. Highly recommended for retreats and stays near Heraklion, Crete"
