Golden Beach Hotel

“Excellent”

Booked via Jet2, so late evening flight. When the bus transfer dropped us off in the high street, i was a bit concerned. But, turned out to be an excellent location, with excellent staff. Food was excellent, food hygiene standards excellent. Would have no problems with returning to this hotel.

“Not a 4* hotel”

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was great. We used the local bus to go to Heraklion, Knossos Malia and Stalis. Would recommend walking up to the villages in the hills, Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, very pretty. We stayed half board and the food was excellent! Friendly staff. Unfortunatel… more

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was great. We used the local bus to go to Heraklion, Knossos Malia and Stalis. Would recommend walking up to the villages in the hills, Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, very pretty. We stayed half board and the food was excellent! Friendly staff. Unfortunately the rooms let this hotel down. They were a little tired, not modern as the hotel states and the shower was very small. However, the bed was very comfortable and the rooms were cleaned daily.

“Ok for a cheeky trip”

When we arrived in Hersonissos which was approx 1am, we were left in the street with shady instructions how to walk to the hotel - which was quite daunting when you didn't know the place, when found entrance we paid the holiday tax - approx £50 then 3 euro a day for safe, if you wanted a sunbed on the beach it was 18 euros a day, 3 euros for a towel oh & when your flight home is midnight you have to vacate your room at 11am but you can pay 30 euro to keep it til 3pm and 10 euro for each hour thereafter if you keep your luggage in a locker it's 2 euro - so they like your money. Food was repeated & carried onto the next day - the restaurant manager was quite annoying walking up & down - his staff didn't dare be friendly. Room was clean, nothing to rave about - we had paid for a room with a sea view, but on the 2nd floor, the verandah was concrete so unless you were stood up you couldnt see anything but concrete. Location was central - staff on reception were pleasant, but I won't be going back! I would not rate it 4 star

“Satisfactory experience, towards a really pleasant vacation”

Hotel Golden Beach Hersinissos, Criti! An acceptable hotel. I chose it because it seemed to have the beach nearby and it's not far from Helaklion International airport, if the flight is very early in the morning that's a plus!

Hotel Golden Beach Hersinissos, Criti! An acceptable hotel. I chose it because it seemed to have the beach nearby and it's not far from Helaklion International airport, if the flight is very early in the morning that's a plus! But... the room is small, small, the bathroom has a very small shower. The safe is paid! The food (half board) was good and varied. All the staff are kind, but with a tip it's even kinder (normal, isn't it!?)... For the 4-star standard, the room space is too small, otherwise it was cleaned and the towels and bedding were changed according to the standard. The beds are quite comfortable, the balcony is narrow and long, the side street where the windows were is quite quiet, except early in the morning when the garbage truck came (but it passes quickly...). In the balcony you have a place to spread the wet clothes from the beaches and the towels. If there were some shelves in the room (above the suitcase rack), it would be a great help for customers. I didn't notice any mosquitoes or bugs... The beach is very small, under any criticism, with slippery boulders and stones, sunbeds and umbrellas are expensive. In the swimming pool on the roof of the hotel, the water was warmer than in the sea. it was not crowded, few people. There the sunbeds and umbrellas are not paid for! A good beach is at a distance of about 8-10 minutes on foot on the seashore or on the main street (STAR ​​BEACH). Sunbeds are cheaper than at the beach at the Golden Beach Hotel. Satisfactory experience, towards a really pleasant vacation. I recommend if you don't know much in the small room and you are not a healthy -bulky person (you don't enter the shower)... In general it is an acceptable place for the money paid.
