Location was lovely, across the street from the beach, and walking distance to all the restaurants at Plakias. Would definitely stay here again.
Only thing I would change is having a bit more space to hang towels/bathing suits.
Perfect location at the entrance to the town. Right next to a taverna coffee shop. Right in front of the beach. Easy to walk to all the tavernas and return to a quieter side in the evening. Lovely place.
Boendet låg precis vid stranden och nära tavernor och caféer. Även en supermarket som låg precis bredvid. Vi hade en otrolig utsikt mot bergen. Rummet var väldigt rent och fräscht. Städades varje dag.
Great location, clean, family run hotel. Thoughtful details such as blankets, not common in smaller hotels we've stayed at in Greece. Room had a refrigerator, hot plate, electric tea kettle and kitchen ware.
Restaurant right next door and a market next to that. Walking distance to evening dining as well.
We would stay here again.

Great Option!
The location is excellent. The beach is literally right across the street (chairs/umbrellas/toilet/showers). The family who run this small hotel are wonderfully nice and always available if you need anything. The bed was a bit firm, but nothing terrible for a couple nights rest and the room was very clean. The restaurant next door is also family owned and they have great food options if you want something close and quick. Overall, you cannot beat the location for the price in my opinion.

ΚΑΘΑΡΟ ΣΕ ΚΑΛΗ ΤΟΠΟΘΕΣΙΑ ΤΑ ΣΤΡΩΜΑΤΑ ΑΠΑΡΑΔΕΚΤΑ ΔΕ ΜΠΟΡΟΥΣΑ ΝΑ ΚΟΙΜΗΘΩ ΚΙΝΔΥΝΕΥΑ ΝΑ ΤΟΥΜΠΑΡΩ ΤΟ ΜΠΑΝΙΟ ΠΟΛΥ ΜΙΚΡΟ
Hôtel propre et bien situé devant la plage. Restos et commerces à proximité. Parking gratuit sur place. Chambre avec kitchenette et balcon correcte. Douche et salle de bain privative un peu petite.
The owner and her father were very friendly and helpful. The room was a little too small for 1 week holiday and the bathroom could be more modern but all in all a must, especially considering the price. We had a slightly more expensive room with balcony on the first floor, facing the sea.
The weather was beautiful and very pleasant for the end of October.
On the other side of the street (on the corner) there is the possibility to get lunch and diner at a very democratic price.

Började med en natt i rum med havsutsikt delvis skymd av träd vilket var utmärkt. Andra natten i rum mot infartsgata vilket var OK. Bra familjehotell med perfekt läge vid beach och 100 tal m från centrum. Alla i ägarfamiljen var mycket vänliga.
Wir waren zu 2. 10 Tage auf Kreta mit dem Mietauto unterwegs. Eine Unterkunft war diese hier, wir waren recht zufrieden mit dem Empfang, mit der Lage, Ausstattung, Umgebung, Zimmer , Sauberkeit war alles top.
15 jours 25 Aout 9 Septembre , je connaissais bien Plakias mais pas cet hôtel. Parfait , excellent qualité/prix . Les hôtes et tout le personnel sont adorables, disponibles et très professionnels . Je recommande !
Schon unser 2ter Aufenthalt dort. Die Zimmer sind für diesen Preis super toll. Probleme gibt es mit dem W-Lan. Der funktioniert im Zimmer (egal welches) nicht. Die Küche ist super und auch nicht überteuert. Ein Auto sollte man schon haben damit man zu den schönsten Stränden fahren kann. Der Pool ist super groß allerdings nur mit Badekappe begehbar. Die kann man an der Rezeption kostenlos ausleihen. Der Fitnessraum ist leider nicht auf dem neusten Stand. Aber für ein paar Runden auf dem Rad reicht es.Es gibt verschiedene Zimmerkategorien mit verschiedenen Preisen. Wer nicht soviel Platz braucht nehme die Preiswerte Version. Wer Ruhe braucht liegt mit den teureren Zimmern besser. Alles in allem würden wir wieder unseren 3wöchigen Urlaub dort verbringen.
Court séjour très agréable dans cet hôtel en face de la plage. Accueil très très chaleureux du gérant et de ses enfants. Malgré que cet hôtel soit bord de route on entend rien, très bonnes fenêtres neuves. Climatisation neuve et silencieuse
Juste une chose nous a dérangé, les portes qui claquent. Le matin le soir ... Prévoyez des bouchons d'oreilles et le tour est joué
Je le recommande vraiment
