We particularly enjoyed the friendly, welcoming hosts and the beautiful view of the sea from our room. The room was simple and cozy and breakfast checked all our boxes and was good value. The village of Agia Galini has a wonderful vibe and we enjoyed our meals there as well as the seaside walking. So glad we chose to stay here.

We were welcomed by the helpful couple at reception and showed to our rooms early. The rooms where nice and clean with a comfortable bed. We had a coffee maker in the room which was really nice. The rooms are small but comfortable. The reception gave us some good suggestions where to go for dinner. Everything was close by and within walking distance We had a nice breakfast at the hotel too with many delicious choices.. I can highly recommend this property

Really enjoyed our stay here. Had a great view of the coast and beaches. It is up the road from the tourist part of the city and beaches. Small hotel and the owner was very gracious.. Was there for 2 nights and have friends who also have spent time there and liked it.

Stunning views and friendly service

One of the loveliest hotels we've stayed in on Crete, and excellent value. Our room had a breathtaking seaview and we'd return just for this alone. But the host, Harris, was also very friendly and attentive, telling us how to navigate down to the beach and town. Air conditioning worked like a dream and the bed was comfy. All in all a brilliant experience, and as we are frequent visitors to Crete we will be back.

The property was a basic hotel with a nice view. Unfortunately, power was lost during our stay. The parking lot is 5 parking spaces, and larger cars extend into the street making it unusable. In addition the bathrooms had a smell, even after being cleaned. Likely from the drain in the floor. Very small shower and small room.

The room was very disappointing: a rusty, dented bed, a bathroom that constantly flooded with a mop already provided, and old furniture in a run-down state. No desk, no comfort at all. For this price simply unacceptable.

Just misses the mark. The property has a great location, sea view, close to town and beach. Harris & Elena friendly. However, breakfast is poor (don’t bother). The room cleaning consisted of a sweep that just moved the dust to the corners - use a mop? A mop would also come in handy for the bathroom as it flooded every time we showered and the water didn’t run towards the drain hole, we had to use towels to mop the floor dry to use toilet and sink. I don’t think under the bed was ever cleaned. Window blind was damaged with the bottom cut off/ fraying and cupboard door needed wiggling to open. Generally the decor is tired and needs refreshing. There is a lot of potential at Galini Mare just a little more care and work needed?

Die Einrichtung des Hotels ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte ein Fresh-up benötigen. Allerdings: die Aussicht von dem kleinen Balkon über die gesamte Bucht ist überwältigend! Das Bad ist relativ neu und gut ausgestattet, die Eigentümer unfassbar freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt weit oberhalb der Bucht, weshalb ein steiler Anstieg vom Strand oder Hafen erforderlich ist. Das sorgt für Fitness und ist nicht schlimm, aber man muss es wissen

Petit Hôtel sympa, vue incroyable

Nous y avons séjourné une nuit, ville étape. Petit hôtel tenu par un jeune couple sympa. La literie n'est pas terrible (matelas pas très confortable et lit qui grince), mais la vue est vraiment sympa. L'ensemble est suffisant pour une nuit et le prix demandé. A pied d'un centre du village: pratique pour aller manger le soir. Bon rapport qualité prix au final.

Excellent petit hôtel de 20 chambres très bien tenu par un jeune couple adorable Harris et Elena. Bien que l’hôtel était encore en préparation pour la saison à venir pas de petit déjeuner proposé mais charmante attention le premier matin avec un thé et des sucreries. Bien sûr les meilleures chambres sont celles face à la mer avec petit balcon. Confort sommaire mais suffisant à prix doux hors saison. A recommander absolument. A voir si service tenu en pleine saison. Petite station charmante mais plage quelconque
