Location, View, Clean and quiet

My wife wasn’t feeling well so the cook volunteered to make a special herbal tea for her which seemed to help. Free breakfast to order a block away.

Lovely area, nice clean hotel rooms with great views. Very friendly and welcoming people who run the place.

Just minor confusion: checking-in was not straightforward, as there is no reception on-site

Excellent breakfast options at the nearby Votsalo bar, with super helpful staff!

— The location in Paleochora is wonderful. Right on the beach and a minute’s walk away from town and the restaurants. — Quiet environment with beautiful view on the hills and the sea. — The staff were extremely helpful. I advised them that there was a problem with the toilet when we arrived at 7PM. When we came back from dinner at 8:30PM, the problem was already fixed. — The room and the hotel in general is impeccably clean. — The kitchenette was functional for preparing lunch. — The breakfasts at Votsalo’s are very good.

The size of the balcony and maybe more kitchenette supplies.

The breakfast was magnificent with many options. The staff, Menelaos, Martha, Mike and the lady who cleans are one of a kind. The hospitality was beyond our expectations. The bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect.

Great breakfast! You order what you would like. Fresh pressed juice every morning. You can order many different things like eggs and bacon, omelette, salad e.g.

The breakfast was perfect as we could choose from the menue. The staff were so nice and friendly, giving top service and made us feel very welcome.

The check in by 8pm (the closing time of the cafe where the keys are held) was a bit stressful as we arrived by the ferry which is often late.

The location is on the quieter side of Paleochora and the room was good with a small balcony with a view of the sea. The breakfasts at the cafe opposite as part of the deal were excellent, the staff really nice…. and it is very rare in Crete to get a properly boiled egg! (Mostly they are cold and overdone, but NOT here). Close to Maria’s restaurant for a good dinner by the sea. Next to the sea for a morning swim. Staff very nice and the lovely maid carried both of our suitcases down 2 flights of stairs when we left.

Good breakfast

We spent our holidays at Oriental bay with two children. Staff was super friendly and the place was clean and quiet just next to the beach. The breakfast was served in a 2' walk cafe' near the hotel and it was delicious. The best thing about the room was that it had 2 bathrooms with a shower each and a washing machine, which made it perfect when staying with small children.

Nothing not to like!

Just a lovely, clean, comfortable room with a big bed and great views from the balcony over the mountains and sea. The people running it couldn't be nicer and they're so relaxed - they let us check in early. The included breakfast they serve at Votsalo is delicious and filling and the restaurant is gorgeous - filled with flowers and overlooking the beach. Can't recommend them highly enough. Nice to be slightly on the edge of town as it's so quiet and peaceful.

Nothing not to like. Shower went a bit luke warm for a couple of our showers but not a big problem.

Lovely big and very comfortable bed. Beautiful view from our wrap around balcony out to the mountains and the sea and surrounding olive groves. The hosts are really lovely people and they run the Votsala cafe next door where you have breakfast - absolutely delicious with fresh omelette, coffee, fresh orange juice and honey with bread. Can't fault it. Nice quiet side of town near the Anydri gorge and next to the beach.

Nice shower but unfortunately no shower curtain so it’s difficult not to wet the floor and the toilet.

We stayed in a 3 bed room, with very pretty view of both mountains and sea. In this room you have sun on the balcony until 1-2 pm. It is quiet during night. Great location, very close to all the restaurants and the “center” but just far away enough to feel a bit more in nature. The breakfast in Votsalo cafe is very good with a lot to offer and our waiter Michaelis very nice - the owner and his family very helpful as well.

the breakfast was fantastic !

Stayed in June 2022

bathroom was very small

it was clean and right at the beach

Stayed in July 2022

shower a little on cold side

breakfast was fantastic, we stayed on the upper floor, each floor has a different owner, breakfast was from the menu at Volstaro ( not sure of spelling). rooms are basic but super clean with a fridge and a balcony with crisp white sheets and towels dried in the sun, accross from the less popular pebble beach where we swam happily, slightly off the beaten track but quiet despite being over a lovely bright bar ( not the restaurant owned by our landlord but his family i think). felt off the beaten track but a short walk to everything

The room was a bit small. There was nobody to meet us when we arrived and the lad who came to assist us was perfunctory (though to be fair I accept we were just outside the advertised check in time). The breakfast place is a 2 minute walk from the room, which isn't necessarily a problem but is something people should be aware of.

The breakfast was excellent. The main host, Marta, was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We missed breakfast on one morning and without prompting she insisted on making up for it by providing us with a packed lunch. The location was very good. Seeing the sun rise in the morning and the full moon rise in the evening across the water will live long in the memory.

Quite obvious for oriental (east) side hotel: East side orientation, so morning sun, but no evening sun. So, as expected and not a problem.

Very good breakfast at the nearby cafe. We could select any available breakfast menu. Great view from the breakfast table. Different relaxing tables and seats available, on upper and lower terrace. Nice view to the sea, olive trees and mountains from the room. Very friendly, relaxed and helpful hosts. Thank you!
