Received a lovely welcome from Katerina and walked into a beautifully decorated, immaculately clean room that housed 3 Ladies comfortably all week. AC was terrific with the high temps outdoors. Great location, solid recommendations from Katerina to eat, drink and be merry! Highly recommend staying here. Best, Elisa Zervos

Fantastic seafront hotel. Sits right on the waterfront in the village. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is a dedicated parking area available next to the public carpark. The rooms are simple but stylish with nice balconies overlooking the sea. We stayed here for 3 nights and wish we had stayed longer. You can get ferries to teh nearby beaches or you can walk the E4 trail. The downstairs does great coffee aswell as typical greek food. There are two bakeries in town that have great sit in or takeaway food. There is a small pebbly beach in town about 3 mins from the hotel with loungers and a changing shed. Highly recommend.

Short visit but very relaxing!

We stayed one night between visiting Loutro and going to Rethymno. The hotel is very fresh and well managed. The location is perfect on the walkway at the beach! Balcony direct above the beach and the local restaurant. The hotel restaurant was weary good with nice food and good service. We will for sure come back !

Emplacement et vue à couper le souffle!!!! Nous aurions cependant aimé un peu plus de service/conseil sur les excursions à faire dans la région (le patron nous a indiqué un départ bateau à 9h devant l’hôtel alors que le 1er départ était à 9h30 et que c’est beaucoup moins cher de partir depuis l’autre embarcadère). Nous avons également trouvé le hall d’accueil pas très très clean se confondant avec le resto, le lieu de stockage des bagages et autres). Dernier bémol sur le drap housse du lit qui ne se borde pas correctement. Au global, on met 8,5 sur 10.

Ett jättefint litet hotell i den lilla byn Chora Sfakia på Kretas sydkust. Vi bokade ett rum med havsutsikt och balkong, dom kallar det "svit" fast det är bara är ett rum. Verkar nyrenoverat, rent och fint med bra dubbelsäng. Och närmare havet kan man inte komma. Lite tidigt på säsongen så allting var inte i ordning än, bl.a. fanns det inte frukost på hotellet. Men bra sådan på ett närliggande bageri. Toppen!

Das Hotel Samaria können wir empfehlen. Die Lage im Hafen von Sfakia ist toll. Das Einchecken ging problemlos und war nach 2 Minuten erledigt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Balkon mit Blick über den Hafen. Das Zimmer hatte alles, was man für einen Urlaub braucht. Kühlschrank und funktionierendes W-Lan seien hier erwähnt. Das Zimmer war sauber und sehr ruhig; kostenlose Parkplätze stehen zur Verfügung (allerdings muss man 5 Minuten laufen. Direkt vorfahren kann man nicht). Sfakia ist nicht groß, man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen. Zum Hotel gehört ein Restaurant, in dem man gut essen kann.
