Where to start with this perfect hotel. The staff are absolutely amazing! From Anna with her delicious cocktails, to Frida and her amazing recommendations. Nothing was to much to ask. We had the most amazing time from their fabulous pool to their delicious food at breakfast and lunch/ dinner. The pool was always quiet enough which was exactly what we wanted! Our room was perfect, great size with aircon, wifi and even Netflix to sign into! Everyone made us feel right at home. They are nice and close to the beach and about a 35 min walk to the old harbour. We opted for taxis each night which were only €8 and reception always had them ordered straight away for us. Everything was perfect and we would highly recommend this hotel to any couple who would like a quiet oasis away from the crowds at the harbour so you can have the best of both worlds! Deffinately a secret gem that we hope to return to. Thank you to all the staff for creating such a beautiful holiday for us xx

“Lovely Friendly Family Run Aparthotel”

Lovely apartments, most with a sea view. Unusual to have 2 swimming pools although 1 is really more a plunge pool suitable for non-swimmers and children especially.

Lovely apartments, most with a sea view. Unusual to have 2 swimming pools although 1 is really more a plunge pool suitable for non-swimmers and children especially. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Great location if you want to visit Chania town as there is a free local bus 6 days a week from nearby car park. Nice beaches you can walk to within 10 mins. Nea Chora beach nearby is lots of good seafood restaurants. Would definitely visit again.

“Brilliant location, good food and fantastic staff”

We spent four weeks at Friday apartments and what a great choice! At the end of a quiet cul de sac, it's within 10 minutes' easy walk of Nea Chora beach with bars, tavernas and mini-supermarkets, 35 minutes' walk east to Chania's old port, and within half an hour's walk west to several sandy beache… more

We spent four weeks at Friday apartments and what a great choice! At the end of a quiet cul de sac, it's within 10 minutes' easy walk of Nea Chora beach with bars, tavernas and mini-supermarkets, 35 minutes' walk east to Chania's old port, and within half an hour's walk west to several sandy beaches and good eateries. Arriving late (11pm), Roula had waited to greet us and take us to apartment 25. The following morning we asked to be moved, as there was a leak in the shower room and a puddle on the floor in front of the sink. No problem! We were immediately taken to apartment 28, in a quiet corner with a large, paved 'garden' in front of it. There was a leak in that shower room too but, as it seemed to be oozing at floor level from the wall behind the toilet, we imagine the plumbing is probably suspect in all the apartments. Unfortunately, the wall in the bedroom is mouldy and crumbling as a result. We were also a bit disappointed by the very limited cooking provision, which consisted of a two-ring hob that blew the fuses one evening when we tried to use the larger ring. We had chosen the self-catering option rather than B&B so it meant we had light breakfasts and didn’t actually bother cooking in the evenings. Roula was a star throughout, with lots of local knowledge, particularly about food, and recommended some fantastic tavernas. We ate out a lot, but also had substantial meals in Frida’s café. Chef Nikos is very good, and certainly likes to feed people. We can’t praise the staff enough: Gabriela serving at lunchtimes and Anna in the evenings. Anna shook a mean cocktail, whipped up a lovely chocolate mousse with sprinkles, and kept us entertained with her cheeky chat and dry sense of humour. Our total admiration, however, went to Efi and Roula #2, the always-smiling cleaners who came in every day and kept the whole place spotless. Thanks to everyone. Our main gripes were the sometimes selfish, messy, littering, drunken, noisy neighbours (including Finnish, Irish and British) and the fact that we were both bitten to death by mozzies/midges.
