Olympic II

Overall, the vacation at the hotel left a pleasant impression. I especially liked the cleanliness, the green and well-kept area, the pools, the beautiful view from the balcony, and, of course, the location—the sea is literally across the street from the hotel. At the same time, there are several points that, in my opinion, are worth considering when choosing this accommodation option. Room The room was clean and tidy, and it was kept clean throughout the stay. The room had a refrigerator with a freezer, dishes, an air conditioner, and a television. The air conditioner worked perfectly, which is especially important for Crete in hot weather. The only downside was that our TV didn't work, although for us personally, this was not a big problem since we hardly used it. The bed linen and regular towels were changed. The room was always clean and pleasant to stay in. I will separately note the beach towel: it was only issued once during the entire vacation, there was no replacement. I really liked the balcony - there was a table and chairs, so you could sit comfortably, have coffee, and enjoy the view. The view is really beautiful: there is a lot of greenery around, and the hotel grounds are well-kept and very pleasant. Bathroom The bathroom was clean: the bathtub, sink, toilet—there were no complaints about the cleanliness. The sewage system worked properly, we didn't notice any problems with drainage or water. There were small shampoos and gels in the hygiene kit, but they were only replenished once and not further. The room also had comfortable slippers that you could walk around the room in. 🌴 Location and sea One of the huge advantages of the hotel for us was its location relative to the sea. The beach was literally across the street. It is incredibly convenient: there was no need to walk far, go down somewhere, or take a car. We just left the hotel, crossed the road—and almost immediately found ourselves on the beach. After a busy day or when I just wanted to quickly go to the sea, this was a big plus. For a vacation in Crete, this location is really convenient, especially if you want to combine trips around the island with a regular beach holiday. Hotel grounds and pools The hotel's territory is definitely one of its advantages. Everything was green, clean, and quite cozy. There were two pools—one bigger and the other smaller. Both pools looked clean, and sun loungers were nearby. Overall, the area made a pleasant impression. After walks and trips around Crete, it was nice to return to the hotel, relax a bit by the pool, and just sit on the balcony among the greenery. Parking And there is a significant nuance with parking, especially if you plan to rent a car. There is practically nowhere to park on the hotel grounds. There were only about four parking spaces near the hotel, and they were almost always taken. Of course, you can try to leave the car somewhere in a circle or find a spot on neighboring streets, but there might be difficulties with that. We felt this especially because we took the car for trips around Crete. Therefore, if you plan to rent a car, you should take into account in advance that there probably won't be a guaranteed parking space near the hotel. 🍳 Breakfasts We only had breakfast included. Overall, they were satisfied with the breakfast - the choice for the morning meal was quite good. Almost every day the set of dishes was the same, but you could always choose what you wanted to have. For example, one day there were boiled eggs, and another day an omelet. Usually, breakfast included bacon, sausages, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other standard products. It was possible to make tea or coffee yourself. It was always orange juice. For dessert, there were cakes like chocolate and vanilla. There were also various additions - Nutella, honey, butter, and other products. Yes, I would like a little more variety from day to day, but overall the breakfast was quite good and filling. Reception and staff And here there is a significant drawback that I would like to point out.

I agree with the review of the person from Norway who stayed at this hotel a month earlier than us . The staff were great but the hotel was a scam pure and simple . Why? Because the photos advertised were not reality . The hotel is old and dirty . The bathroom is old and dirty with mold on rotten timber on the walls and the Beth did not drain properly - disgusting enough to take a shower in it but a bath no way . So a family with small kids who needed to bath them would be disgusted . 🤮 please do not go to this hotel . The towels were supposed to be changed every 3 days , for us it was once 5 days . The beds were never made properly and the apartment was never cleaned properly . A pure con job . A total scam . Please don’t drag here . It advertises a private beach That is pure rubbish .. they have no Ed l chairs or Liu ge chairs out the front of the hotel ! A pure scam . You have to use a different company out in the beach . A pure scam . Please do not use this hotel

The biggest plus point of this hotel is the staff. What I received was a complete disaster! A scam, and more scams! Nothing matched the photos I used to book the apartment!!!! I don't know where to begin... I think I'll start with the worst part of the apartment, which was the bathroom... which can't even be called a bathroom because that's a complete misnomer! The public hotel bathroom looked much nicer and more pleasant than the one in our "let's make a deal" apartment. The paint was peeling from the rotting walls, and the paint in the bathtub was peeling, making it a real eyesore. Water in the sink that wouldn't drain... I had to cover the windows with paper because they faced the hallway without any curtains, and people in the hall could see you. It was the same in the kitchen... which I'm moving on to... Well, the kitchen was also different from the one in the photos. When I booked this "apartment," it was a small staircase that was supposed to have an induction cooktop, but I got an electric stove for one pot, and a microwave for one because it didn't work. Just a reminder, I booked a two-story apartment for 4 people... The "fully equipped kitchenette" consisted of one large pot and a frying pan, several plates, cutlery, and one dull knife that was useless! Let's move on to the lounge area, which was supposed to be the living room, proudly named one wooden bed, one small table, and two chairs—that's the living room. There's no mirror to look at yourself in, for example, if you want to go out in the evening. When I asked if they had one from another room, I was told you could look in the mirror in the bathroom. Well, I was speechless. Next on the list of negatives was bedroom number 2, which was impossible to sleep in. It looked like a "hole" and stank (completely different from the hotel photos). So we asked the cleaning girls to get us an extra bed, and we slept in the so-called living room because we couldn't sleep there. Besides, the hall light, which stayed on all night, and the stench made it impossible to sleep there. Next on the list of negatives is the so-called terrace. I was supposed to have a large terrace, but instead received a corner balcony, and the neighbors had garbage cans next to it. Under the so-called terrace...so imagine two garbage cans under your balcony in the summer! It's unacceptable! The water from the air conditioner drains directly onto the tiles on the balcony, which was so slippery that my wife and I almost fell...so that's another unacceptable thing!!! Another issue is the swimming pool. We were informed that it was open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., but after those hours, others were using the pool anyway, and no one supervised it at all. I want to address the issue of people bathing in their own clothes (of other religions, I suspect). This is unacceptable. This isn't a municipal laundry. Especially since I saw the same person on the beach in the same rags, swimming in the sea, then walking in the sand, and then in our pool. I also don't understand why no one is supervising this... Unfortunately, I reported the matter to booking.com, where after two days of fighting with them, they... I received a partial refund from the hotel. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. People, don't be fooled! Don't believe these photos, because nothing is right! The Wi-Fi is a nightmare! I reported the matter to Booking.com and received a partial refund. People, don't be fooled! Avoid this "accommodation"!!!
