10/10 Excellent

Artion City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were here for two nights. This hotel is really well located. Just outside the city centre so you get a good nights sleep. We can not fault it. A lovely internal court yard where you can enjoy the excellent breakfast. I think the hot tub in the advertisment photo is either attached to another room or no longer exists. We did not have a balcony but no problem with that. Our flight back to the U.K was at 11.30p.m. Staff allowed us to store our cases in the reception area so we could enjoy the rest of the day in the city without having to worry. (I think this is routinue if you ask as other's had done the same thing). Recommend a stay."

Lato Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All good no complains close to everything walking distance"

"Useful hotel for our arrival in Crete. Close to airport - a bus or taxi. There were bars and restaurants near the hotel. They were very helpful telling us how to get a bus to the airport to collect our hire car. Room fine with a balcony and outlook over the back of the hotel - good for sleeping. Good airconditioning and WiFi. Breakfast adequate."
