2 star hotels in Kato Stalos

Please ignore that this hotel only has a formal 2* rating - this family run hotel gives a 5* experience. The location is literally 10 paces from the beach. The hotel is spotless with spa slippers, dressing gowns and pool towels. Nikos the Manger is a perfect host - we had a prompt personal response from him upon booking directly and got a much better rate than through 3rd parties! Nothing was too...

Phaedra Hotel is absolutely fantastic. Excellent location, great value, clean rooms, friendly staff. There is literally nothing to complain about, which is why my family and I have been returning there year after year.

Hotel Phaedra in Kato Stalos, Crete is a true gem. The hotel is way better than most in the area. You will not regret staying here. The rooms are really nice and clean with free a/c and the pool area by the beach is absolutely amazing. Free sunbeds and free beach towels is something you don’t get in all other hotels. The owner Nicos is the friendliest an nicest guy you will find and he will make sure...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms are very clean and really well equipped. Our room had a beautiful sea view. The pool area is beautiful and the pool itself has crystal clear water, with beautiful views to the beach beyond. Nikos and Georgia were wonderful hosts and couldn't do enough for us. We had lots of family visit us at this hotel and Nikos was so accommodating about this. ...

This was our first trip to Crete and what a fantastic introduction it was! Phaedra Hotel is excellent: great location, relaxed atmosphere, very clean, and with friendly and helpful staff. Thanks especially to Georgia at the poolside bar who was always happy to make some delicious food or a lovely coffee. Also to Nikos, the owner, who was helpful and approachable for anything - nothing was too much...

We had a good feeling about this place as all the reviews were excellent. We were blown away by its location, cleanliness, and especially the staff. The hotel has a beautiful pool with a pool bar that is tended by the gorgeous Georgia, who will serve drinks , cocktails, and food from morning until early evening with great enthusiasm and always smiling. You can step off the pool terrace straight onto...

The best hotel in Chania. Beach bar and restaurant is great. The food was really good traditional Cretan. Service is great. Pool and beach great. I highly recommend this hotel. Best for families. Everything you need is here.

Great family owned apartment hotel! Cozy, clean, big rooms for the whole family, right on the beach, with excellent food and service! Value for money :)

Very good! Come here each summer we are in Crete. Good people working and is nice. Am coming back next time I in Crete.

finally again after the restrictions to Crete. the staff changed slightly in three years but did not affect the standard and facilities of the hotel. nicely the adult children in the family help their parents with daily activities. great food, perfect location near the pool and beach. clean rooms and yard areas well maintained. I warmly recommend to everyone. we will definitely be back. thanks to the...

Excellent location - just off the main road by shops and bus stop into Chania and Agia Marina. Good pool, not too busy. The pool bar plays very loud dance music all day (9:30am - the evening). If you want to relax by the pool, this is not the place for you. Breakfast was not worth the additional cost. There was not a large selection of food. We asked for a late checkout the day before leaving but...

We had a lovely stay at Koukouras hotel! The place is very clean, tasty breakfast, beautiful beach, great location! Moreover it is very good value for money for what we get, even if there were few extras like air-conditioning use, I find it environmentally friendly and the management team had well informed us in advance. Mrs. Julia and Mr. Stelios are real gems of the property and we felt so welcomed...

Nestled in Kado Stalos, Koukouras Hotel is a charming escape that captures the essence of Crete. Its genuine soul shines through some pieces of decor and very calm classical mediterranean atmosphere. The front team delivers outstanding hospitality and helpful insider tips to elevate your experience. The accommodations offer a perfect blend of classic comfort and relaxation. In summary, Koukouras...

Thanks so much very kind and Miss Julia saved my vacation with lady second réservation as mu previous hotel didn’t receive the booking from tour operator - they saved my life as is was traveling with elder person and my daughter

This place is seriously cool with its chill Greek vibe, I booked it despite reviews and never regret it. The owner and the staff are trying a lot: from certification of cleaning to the very attentive cleaning ladies and proper management. The beach is super close, just a quick walk. At the beginning of the season - the water was cool and it was a bit windy. The rooms were clean &comfy, each had a...

Stayed here as a group of 4. 2 on ground floor, 2 on upper floor, self catering. Our room was basic but suited our needs. Swimming pool was cleaned every day and all staff friendly. Air conditioning was fantastic very cold. On our balcony we had a clothes horse which was very handy. Bar men were very nice and friendly. Would stay here again.

Good value for the very affordable price. And friendly staff/owner! Did not try the restaurant though. (Nothing more to say so I will just write this to the end! Just wanted to give them a nice rating! Why 200 letters this is too long come on tripadvisor.)

we had two weeks here september 2022. basic studio, roomy clean and comfortable checked in early, no problem. pool area is spacious with plenty of beds although very under used i assume owing the beach being so close. stove top small oven, large fridge with freezer space, kettle toastie maker coffee filter, and plenty of kitchen equipment. small bath with overhead shower. twin beds which were ok for...

Met upon arrival by the owner who took us to our room, 1 bedroomed apartment, adequate room slight issue with air conditioning on the second day that was rectified as soon as we mentioned it. Family size fridge and larger than expected freezer. Room cleaned, bedding changed and towels numerous times during our stay. Great pool that we had for the majority of the time on our own despite apartments...

Excellent value. We were very comfortable. Spacious, clean and friendly hosts. Quite basic but for what we paid it was fantastic. Kettle, fridge freezer, cooker and microwave all worked, quite old but functional, a bit like us. Close to beach and bus stop to Chania. Only 1.70 euros per person one way and less than 20 mins. A few taverns around but fairly quiet. Also small supermarkets - tourist prices...

Great location and wonderful owners. The pool area is great and the restaurant was amazing as well. Lovely, clean room. Definitely coming back here! :)

We had a very nice stay. Everything was clean, pool was nice and clean, staff is very nice, definitely a very good place to stay in Stalos!

I would give 6* if I could. Pristine conditions both indoors and outdoors. Delicious and rich breakfast in the morning with the sea view is something you won't ever forget. Definitely go for those. Highlight was the loveable staff though. They always wear smile and make you feel like at home. If you ever visit Crete, book your stay here. You will not regret it.

Awesome place to stay, very impressed by the service, the warm welcome and the daily services. Nice sea view, if you are feeling too hot the beach is next to you!

Great hospitality, location, breakfast, and private beach. Also the family restaurant across the street was amazing. Great dishes and hospitality. Running in the family :) We will be back.

Very nice place to stay at. Pleasant hosts and good service. Highly recommend

On the beach...best breakfast...the friendliest owner and personnel ever...clenliness and eco friendly... Shower on the beach umbrella and sunbeds for free and Only for hotel customers with a unblocked view to the seaside...What can I say.. When all that work there, love their job...and care for the customers with respect and a smile. An example of the future in Greece. For some other Guest house...

Very nice and helpful staff, everything kept clean and sensational location, nice rooms, we have a towels change after two days, very nice swimming pool and the best price in this location, we were there for few days and we were very satisfied

Lovely family run hotel just a stone throw away from the beach. Manolis and his team were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The room and facilities are basic but sufficient, especially for the price. Rooms were clean and pool was decent! If you’re looking for a no frills, family run hotel, then Alkion is for you. We’ll definitely be back!

Very nice and helpful owner Manolis, good location, close to the beach. very nice atmosphere! Let's visit and enjoy. Small but clean swimming pool, beautiful flowers. It is possible to organise trips to Balos and Elafonisi. It's ideal for short holidays.

At the first meet, the host was extremly polite. He welcomed us with so much positive energy, give us all the information we need, and also he recomanded us a place where can find local food near the hotel. He is very, very helpfull. The room is clean and super nice, the location very good. I am very happy to stay here and i am sure that you won t have any regret if u ll choose this hotel.

This is a really lovely little hotel. It is dated, very quiet and peaceful, no restaurant or bar but there are plenty of them on the doorstep, as is the beach (across the road and walk down any of the access paths between buildings). We had a quadruple room (211). This is 2 bedrooms with one bathroom and one access door. It had a big wrap around balcony so loads of outside space. Air conditioning...

I came here staying for 3 days but im loving it ,the hotel has its own unique style,it was very clean,quiet and the manager was so helpful.The pool was very clean and it was very quiet.Felt at peace.Im staying 2days more cuz im loving it so far. I’ll definitely suggest it to my friends!

Studio room for 2 friends sharing and was perfectly adequate, stayed in room 109 which was steps from the pool and a lovely young lady came in and cleaned/replenished every day, all the staff were lovely and very accommodating. Pool was cleaned every day from what we saw. It is in a quiet area, but a minute walk over the road to a nice beach with bar selling drinks and snack food, close to supermarkets...

Nice hotel with linked apartments. Perfect location with the apartments actually on the beach with the hotel over the road. Serviced everyday and lovely and clean. The only negative is it is advertised as having 3 bars but only the beach bar was open and then only until 6pm. They did however allow you to go to the supermarket next door (that’s open until23:30) to buy drinks and bring into the pool...

Rooms and pool area are okay, breakfast sucks big time!

Nice hotell, nice helpful staff. Refrigerator and cooking plate in the room. Wifi only available in the reception area, not in the rooms. There is a swimming pool and one small swimming pool for children. Supermarket is just across the street. Bus to Chania takes 10-15 minutes, price pr. June 2018 is 1.90 €.

Good organization, rooms cleaned every day and kindly staff. Close to the Sea, it's the only with a bar in the beach. Maybe to much expensive the bar at the swimming pool

Brilliant location, fantastic room and amenities. Great restaurant right on beach, lovely breakfast. nice pool, plenty of sunloungers

Everything was ok - clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, private swimming pool, delicious food in bar and beautiful and peacefull beach. Parking is avialable near to the hotel. We had very good time there. I think we will come there again.

Enjoy our holiday in this Hotel❤️ Very lovely hotel. Exellent beach restaurant. Rooms were clean and fresh and renovated. Staff was friendly. Parking for car was good and safe. Nothing bad to say of this hotel. We stayed 9 nights and price was reasonable. Also the beach area was good and sun beds were also free.

Stort værelse rent og moderne indretning Value for money

A cozy little place, nice, clean and well maintained. Right next to the beach and a few meters from the nearest bus stop. Very kind, warm and welcoming owners. Nice breakfast, few choices but you got all you need. We stayed in an apartment and it is very comfortable, spacious and we liked the little kitchen which is a big plus especially if you are travelling with kids. We requested for late check...

Nicely located hotel Excellent small hotel - the upper rooms were beautifully renovated - lovely and friendly staff, free parking in the backyard - nice swimming pool even though it was the end of the season - ok breakfast that filled you up - beautifully located right on the beach with free beach chairs - so nice and delicious.

We had a wonderful stay at Kristall Suites, a lovely family-owned business. Christina welcomed us warmly even before check-in time and, since the room wasn’t booked after us, she kindly let us check out later. We even offered to pay a late checkout fee, but she refused - such thoughtful hospitality really stood out. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and well equipped, with a balcony overlooking...

We stayed at Kristall Suites with our two small kids in September 2025, and we can only say good things about our experience! The location is perfect – right on the beach – and within walking distance of many great restaurants, making it ideal for a family vacation. The suites are spotless, cleaned daily, and very well maintained. Parking is also available, which made everything even more convenient...

We stayed here in 2024. Kristina the manager / owner was nothing but lovely. We stayed in the ground floor sea view room and somehow there had been a mix up with bookings and so Kristina asked if we would move We did - upstairs to a bigger room at no further. We moved with the help of the lady cleaner and Kristina. We have been staying at a hotel close no by since 2006 - will only stay here going...

Our stay at this accommodation was wonderful. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to all our questions and needs. The location is perfect. The beach offers free sunbeds and umbrellas for guests. The room was cleaned daily, towels were changed every day, and bed linens every two days. The beach is ideal for families with children.The hosts are always on the property, and there are security cameras...

We stayed here when we had our wedding in Chania with some of our closest friends and family. Everyone at Kristall was very welcoming. They went out of their way to accommodate our every need. They even surprised us by decorating the terrace and the garden for the moment our photographer would come for our “getting ready” photo session. We loved the view from our room, loved the shade in the terrace...

Beautiful place , all lovely done and a amazing comfy bed . It is immaculate ! The pool is really nice and very quiet, we spent the afternoon chilling and swimming ., was so relaxing! The owners have that lovely Greek hospitality and that is why we return to Greece so many times . This should get a 5 star rating it is so beautiful. When in the area I would choose this place instead of a big hotel...

One of the best accomodation we have ever had. The hosts are so kind and eager to help with eveything you need. Cleanliness is at the highet level, in the room, at the pool, everywhere. The pool is really nice. 2 minutes walk from the beach. They have free parking places.

We spent 2 weeks at Irini apartments and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Irini and her family Our 1 bedroom apartment was modern and cleaned daily and only a one minute walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. The pool area at the back is very well maintained and most days there were only a few people there. Antonis organised a car for a couple of days for us and we...

Stayed at Irini apartments at Stalos area for 3 nights at early June 23. Area is great, close to Chania town and coffee shops / restaurants are located nearby. Apartment is fresh, newly decorated, clean etc. Everything is new there..... Pool seemed nice and good sized even-though we didn't use it. Owners/employees were very friendly and assist us without hesitation in a request we had. Last but not...

Wonderful hosts, beautiful rooms and an incredibly peaceful pool. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and laid back, this is your place. The rooms were modern and look recently refurbished; in absolutely perfect condition. The pool area was really quiet, only us and occasionally someone popping down for a swim but we had the whole area to ourselves nearly all day, on a Sunday too! The hosts were...

The experience staying at Irini was absolute delight. Hospitality was excellect, room was clean and good looking and staff extremely helpful and kind. Owner also did his best to explain the area and help us with organized trips. There is pool outside where the water is set to perfect temperature and suroundings are well done. We had breakfast at the restaurant next to the apartment where you can eat...
