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.
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.
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?
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.
We stayed in the sea view room. The room wasn't too big but adequate and clean. The view was amazing. The owners were friendly and helpful. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
Harris and his wife are wonderful hosts. We loved our room overlooking the ocean with a small balcony. Everything was clean, the bed comfy. The only negative for us was the shower, very small and impossible not to soak the floor. We would recommend this hotel.
Had a wonderful stay here. Eleni and Harris were so warm and welcoming and made you feel so at home! You can walk to the beach and into town. We would definitely go back!
Friendly owners, beautiful view, close walking to amenities.

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
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.
Kleines, wirklich bezauberndes Hotel mit traumhaftem Blick über das Meer. Tolles Frühstück.
Die beiden Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Leider war mein Aufenthalt viel zu kurz. Ich komme aber gerne wieder ☺️
