2 star hotels in Kato Stalos

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.

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!

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...

This is the best hotel I've ever been to. We had a family vacation, there was a room with a side view of the sea, the views from the room are simply amazing, the hotel is very beautiful and stylish, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. A pleasant and polite hostess, told me where it is better to have dinner, where to buy groceries. Large spacious room, has everything you need, convenient...

A great place to stay on Chania. Friendly staff, beautiful, big and clean rooms and nice view from the windows, including the beach and two remarkable trees. Recommended!

Nice small apartment well equipped located near the beach. Drawback: - A bit noisy due to the road nearby - Cleanliness to improve

Small, charming and very clean establishment Tastefully renovated room no 15, spacious with practical kitchen area Small but modern bathroom. Decent WiFi even at the beach. Feet in the water, golden sand beach, deckchair and parasol available The charm of the old-fashioned pension with all the modern comforts

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...

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...

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...

It is very nice place with sea view, apartments are comfortable, modern and very clean. Staff is helpful and kind at any time. The breakfast is tasty with fresh and quality food. Definitely nice and quiet place for good vacation.

We stayed at Sea Side Apartments from 23rd Aug to 3rd Sept 2016, 12 nights.This place is run to perfection by a family, Manolis (the sweetest guy in Crete) Stefania (a good business woman) and their son Giorgos(always willing to help you). a) This is the best location in the area, it is quite. If you go further up to Agia Marina or Platanias is very noisy and overcrowded. b) All members of Staff are...

Really nice, uncomplicated appartement hotel with swimming pool and basically located at the beach. At lot of restaurants an supermarkets nearby.

Comfortable and clean basic self catering accommodation. One bedroom apartment had everything we needed for a week as we ate out for main meals. We had salads and sandwiches for lunches in the apartment but would probably have struggled to cook main meal other than a one pot dish...could have done with a kettle but has pans to boil water so not really an issue. Staff helpful and quick to respond when...

Basic very clean rooms, friendly staff. You need to pay extra if air conditioning is needed, as well as for internet in the rooms. We had a great stay here. Easy to get around in English.

Hotel is quite central to the restaurants and quite near to the city centre. I recommend it but the WiFi was very slow. That was a real bummer for me!!

We had a great stay at Kalimera Hotel in July 2022. The room was basic, the mattress was quite firm, there was a decent small kitchenette and fridge, room was very clean and had everything you need including AC, a hairdryer, hangers, shampoo, nice bathroom/ shower, and there is onsite parking if you decide to rent a car. The cleaners were very thorough and came everyday. Agia Marina is a great base...

Clean and comfortable apartments in am amazing location! Many shops and restaurants nearby!

Our stay at the kalimera hotel was very nice. The location was very beautiful and clean and you have a short walk to the beach and to supermarkets. Katharina (the host) was very nice and helpful.The mother of our friend recommended the hotel to us. We would love to come back😍 Best regards Alina and Katja

Great aparthotel, really enjoyed our stay in 2level suit with amazing seaview. Apartment was fully equiped and clean. Cleaning lady changed everything every day, perfect work. A lot of taverns nearby, 2min to the beach, always clean and warm pool.

Clean, quiet, friendly staff, short walk to the beach and it's a supermarket really close who is owned by the hotel owners.

It is a perfect place to make a great holiday in Crete. Very kind stuff, clean rooms, and great pool.

Located approx 400 meters from the beach. Nice and relaxing pool area. Apartments with kitchen, oceanview and aircondition. Friendly staff. Poolbar. 5-10 min walk to several good restaurants in the area.

Fantastic view, friendly staff

A 5 star view hotel that makes no sense to stay in those overpriced hotels nearby.Friendly owners and cleaning staff, with genuine smile and interest.The pool is a great addition to the spectacular view.

Great hotel in calm area with nice view over Agia Marina. Deep and nice pool. Great staff and good cleaning. Amazing sunsets!

Good hotel and nice people! It's very quiet and relaxing

Right by the beach, top-notch service and spacious rooms (if you can, pick the sea view). Breakfast is monotonous which is expected for the price. 20 minutes to Chania by bus, great restorants in the vicinity.

I will comment only the on the restaurant as I have been to almost all of them in the area. The food is probably the best along the sea side of Agia Marina. It's all fresh food freshly made, including the meat, fish, veggies, fruits,... You really get quality for you money spent. On the other side, the service, the waiters, the manager, the cook, are very friendly and helpful. They will make feel...

Food is awesome, everything we tried was really nice and very delicious, we like to eat here, kudos to the chef. Room is big and comfy. Bus station is close. Everybody`s nice and helpful. Service people are very polite and forthcoming. Really nice place

The staff at the Minerva gladly let us use some beds when we wanted a beach day (@ 6 days) as long as we bought some drinks. Not a problem. On our last day we stopped there for some lunch, a good couple of hours looking out to the sea. Great food and service. Mrs C and the boy shared a huge Margarita pizza and a huge side of chips with grated cheese. I had the very tasty vegan burger and chips. All...

We had lunch at the patio at Minerva restaurant, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The setting is beautiful with a serene sea view, the food was very good with fresh local ingredients, and the service was outstanding. The lovely general manager Katerina took care of us & stopped to chat with us; we had 3 kids in our group and the staff was very friendly to them. Warmly recommended!

Great food and service by the beach bar. My son is really gonna miss this place and the guy in the bar.

Very good for the price.nice and quiet.

Very fine little condo for a family of 4. With all the basics. There is a small balkony with dry hanger and good amount of electric sockets. There was room cleaning service eberyday with new bedsheets.Very sizeable poolarea with great pool and very friendly staff, that can suggest where to go, so dont be afraid to ask. AC and key to safety box in rooms can be bought as extra. I would recommend.

Great place, the owner is super nice. Close to the beach and many good restaurants.

Nice simple hotel, very well located.

We were welcomed warmly, even though it was end of the season and we were the only guests. The apartment was big and it was cleaned every day. The location of the hotel is perfect for a beach holiday, the beach is just across the street. Nice pools even though we didn't use them as it was October and the water was a bit cold.

Clean. Friendly personnel. Lovely pool and beautiful garden.

Beautiful, cosy and pleasant place. 🧡💛❤

Very spacious, clean, friendly staff. Nice pool. Perfect location. Loved it.

Nice simple hotel with very friendly and helpful staff!

Nice not so crowded relaxed spot at the beach just on the edge of the bizzy beachbars. Friendly crew. Got mine espresso at 8.00. We're having a great time here.

Nice place with a beach and a swimming pool for kids. Rooms are ok, could have more shelves to put things on, and we do miss a normal double bed - two beds put side-by-side are still not very convenient for a romantic holiday :)

The hotel really lived up to our expectations. The hotel is ran by the family that owns it and it really showed in their attitude to their guests. Its not a five star hotel but nor does it claim to be, We had a nice little kitchen and a cozy balcony. Cleaning once a day except sundays :) About a two minute walk to the heart of the city but the hotel is located atop a hill so its sort of ”above” the...

Good hotel, close to the center and beach. Clean rooms and nice staff, the owner was also very friendly. Would go again! The owner also owns a very nice cocktail bar namned Café café which I would recommened going to.

The best place for a vacation in Crete - We loved the hotel and we had a fantastic stay, totally recommended. It is a real gem in the village of Platanias thanks to the amazing hospitality of Giannis & his family. If you are looking for a nice place to explore the island of Crete, this is definitely the best one! Excellent central location - it is very convenient and close to everything (bus stop,...

Great hotel and very nice and helpful owner! Rooms were cleaned every day and were very clean. There is a lovely swimming pool area with great sunset. We really enjoyed our stay!

Very nice family hotel. One kan feel like at home ,the owner is very friendly and we will go back again. It is in The center of everything and near to the main area and to the beach. The service were extraordinary and we had a Great trip. Thomas family\ Sweden

A very cozy hotel situated near the centre of Platanias. The host couple George and Sylvia are very accommodating and nice people. The hotel has a pool with the possibility to turn on a jaccuzi. Varouxakis offers breakfast, lunch, beverages and snacks for a small fee. It's easy and simple to just enjoy a lunch while at the pool. I would recommend this hotel for those who like the calm but still wants...

Good location, but not maintained. The place is dirty. Looking at it would change the rating. The manager is willing to help but needs to spend money on maintaining and cleaning the place. Wifi is terrible. The two-room rooms have only one air conditioning which is not enough for the bedroom. Dire extinguishers were outdated (2018)

Friendly and helpful owners. Good location. Nice pool and tasty pizza. We would stay again 👍

Very nice rooms simple and clean. Nice pool and bar.

Great hotel apartment with incredibly nice and service-minded staff! The rooms are clean, fresh and cleaned every day! Good barbecue and bar talk by a lovely pool. Gives top marks to the owners, the staff, their food and the apartment.

Abbiamo scelto questa hotel perché la cittadina si trova vicina alle spiagge che volevamo visitare, ed Evropi e starà la scelta perfetta. La struttura è ben curata, pulita e offre molti servizi, piscina bar, ristorante, biliardo e altri giochi. È anche molto silenziosa, non abbiamo sentito rumori molesti durante le notti passate qui. Appartamento pulito, ottima qualità del sonno anche x via delle...

Small family hotel, nice staff. Perfect location and peaceful surroundings. Shops nearby. Rooms were really nice, big balcony, good beds. Cleaning was every day.

Great Stuff! a big plus is that besides the customers they also take care of the animals :) Excellent!

Cheap 👍friendly staff. Cleanlieness is good. 2-room apt which is big. A/C, internet and tv included in the total price. Nice pool with a small restaurant/bar. Recommended.

Really love this hotel, nice services, clean room, friendly staffs and near the best seafood and meat market.

Nice staff. Rooms are clean. Beds are good. Location is good, near Platanias beach and near the main road which has lots of shops and nice restaurants.

An incredibly beautiful small apartment hotel run by a Greek family with gardens and flowers! 🌹 Spacious rooms, good cleaning and friendly staff. The kitchen is really small for cooking, but if you eat in restaurants it doesn't hurt. We did make breakfast ourselves. A lovely big and good bed that could fit all three 😅 (child in the middle) The swimming pool is wonderful when you reach the bottom of...

It’s been a few years since our visit but we spent 2 weeks and liked it so we’re heading to Mariliana for 3 weeks this summer. The hotel is very clean, the beds are good, there are enough utensils to cook and the balcony also has decent furniture instead of plastic chairs. Location great close to amenities but quiet location. The pool is clean and of a suitable size.

We spent a week at Mariliana hotel in August 2021. It was our first time at Mariliana and we absolutely fell in love with this delightful little hotel. Mariliana is a well maintained, calm oasis with a beautiful garden. It is situated in a quiet residential area, however shops, restaurants and the sea are within easy walking distance, about 200m away. Our room, the pool and the whole hotel area...

Very cosy little hotel. Extremely good standard of clenliness, quiet surrondings, owned by a lovely greek family

Imagine yourself spending your vacations without leaving your place...that's what Porto Kalamaki offers you, go there and feel at home, the only difference is you don't need to worry about a thing. Each one of their professionals will take care of you, from the room service to the pool, passing through the amazing kitchen and bar service, all is immaculate and humble. Also, a big shout out to Stelios...

We had swordfish and lamb chops. The portions were huge and the food was excellent. Such a great location and very cheap.

Hotel Porto Kalamaki is a place I will definitely return to. I spent an unforgettable vacation there with my family, and it was all thanks to the wonderful people we met. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel like we were among friends. The time spent at Porto Kalamaki was filled with joy and positive experiences, so I won’t hesitate to go back at the next opportunity. It’s a...

I stayed here one week with two friends: the place is nice, the value for money great and the staff kind, helpful and happy to share excellent advices about what to do in Crete. You can't go wrong with Porto Kalamaki Hotel!

Perfect Vacation! My first time in Greece but definitely not the last one. Together with my parents we spent 7 wonderful days. I really have nothing bad to say about this place. Even though I am living on Dubai for the past 10 years and let’s say I am used with a high standard of accommodation and service, this place was top. Very modern rooms, extremely clean place, very delicious food, amazing...

Wonderful staff, always friendly and helpful. Extremely clean. Quiet and peaceful. Only a 20 minute trip on the 21 bus into Chania Town if you wanted to go into noise. Summer has a wonderful fun Greek night to join in.

Close to city Center chania Close to the national road of crete This was my 3th Time i booked this Hotel the staff is very friendly nice and Clean rooms Realy tasty food at the restaurant I will book next year again

Nice. Booked a simple room and ended up with better than expected. It seems that it is not an audition for exhibition with various benefits such as good luck and stay alert. I think you can evaluate it like this. It's not an audition. I think you can evaluate it like this. It's not an exhibition audition with various benefits such as stay alert.

Really nice hotel with a wonderful weiw. Nice staff exept fot the reception staff. A bit hard madressess but otherwise I really recommend this hotel but the staff in the eeception really needs to step it up!

The hotel offers a very pretty setting, it is well located and overlooks the sea. The nearest beach is very small and covered with small pebbles, but there are other sandy beaches nearby. The service staff is top however that of the reception not very welcoming which lowers my note. The food is good and plentiful.

Excellent in every respect apart from the entertainment element. No stage as such. No auditorium. The music and events are staged but there is no thought to seating, viewing or participating.

Very nice accommodation, cleaned daily, very quiet. All the staff very friendly especially the cleaner Maria and the gardener. Ideally situated only 5 minutes to the beach and 5 minutes to the many bars and restaurants. Great value, just to add the air conditioning is extra €8 per day but much needed at this time of year.

We absolutely loved it ! Lady Katerina is an exceptional host . Lovely location , clean and accommodating

Pros: - The outside lawn, garden and pool looks beautiful. - Perfect location near different beaches, restaurants and mini markets. - 1 very friendly cleaner called " Maria", she could make anyone smile, gentile and careful. - Cons: - Rooms not astonishing as it looks, rusted beds. - Poor ventilation working on and off. - Only have access to 1 copy of key, so if you forget the keys you have to look...

Nice, calm, clean and central place in Platanias. Very friendly staff. Great to have a pool close to the apartment. They charge extra (only possible to pay these extras in cash) for air condition (10€ per day) and for safety box in the room. Kitchen with the most essential equipment. Close to supermarkets if you need grocery's, otherwise Platanias is full of good restaurants (we checked on TripAdvisor...

Top Location, Convenient, Proximity to lovely beach, Clean, Friendly, Informative, Helpful!

Just spent a week with wife in this hotel and everything which you need for vacation works. Hotel and rooms are clean and cleaned six times per week. Towels change every third day. Pool area is small like hotel itself but again clean and comfortable. Pool bar was not open at all during our stay. Aircondition was in both rooms; living and bed rooms, and worked well. Balcony was extra hot on afternoon...

Great location, close to the beach, close to the shop with the most necessary articles, restaurants nearby where you can eat local meals, not for millions, close to the bus stop to the center of Chania, close to the pharmacy and on foot you can go to other beaches and Lidl as it is need. The hotel is kindly staffed, it is not big, the rooms are sufficient for mine, they are practically cleaned every...

A very friendly hotel. Clean rooms with a balcony. Very nice service. The rooms are cleaned daily. The hotel offers a free parasol for one room, and mattresses for swimming. Very close to the beach and in the vicinity of 100 meters all the necessary shops and pubs. In a similar distance there is a bus stop from which buses to Chania leave every now and then. The trip to Chania takes a maximum of 2...

Great complex not far from the beach and Chania. The rooms were clean and it was cleaned thoroughly every day. The French-speaking hostess is really super nice, but communication is a bit difficult if you don't speak French or Greek. From the hotel we give 5 stars. And for the location 4 stars as it is right on a fairly noisy street but it didn't bother us that much. The breakfast are also 4 stars...

We were supposed to stop here for two nights. We had chosen this place for its strategic location as it would be the last stop before returning home from Chania airport. It's a pity that: 1. It is located in a very chaotic part of Chania, noisy and with little possibility to find parking 2. We had booked a basement accommodation and, as soon as we entered, we realized its limitations (damp and with...

Very nice and helpful owners! Cleaning lady is super kind and she clears rooms everyday. Overall the whole hotel is really clean one and I think that's the most important thing. It is situated close to the beach, it's not that beautiful but it is nice. It's also a 100m from bus stop, so it is extremely easy to get to to neighbouring cities. If you have a car, you can park on the street, it's free and...

Very nice place, extremely friendly staff and it is very clean. Place for every recommendation

Very clean in general, nice clean rooms and friendly staff. Worthy of the price.

This place is very nice, it is not luxury but it is very clean and peaceful. Owners and stuff are really polite, we had problem with our rent a car agency and they tried to help us. Beautiful view and perfect location, it is right on the beach! We highly recommend this small hotel to everyone!

Just come back from a week at this hotel. The hotel is lovely and the staff are, without exception, excellent. They could not do enough for us and we loved our time there. I would recommend it to anyone.

Very nice to spend all day on the beach. There is a bar and restaurant, they cook very nice and tasty.. The staff care all day, very friendly... For 2 sunbeds and an umbrella you pay 6 EUR/all day. Till you have a lunch there, they dont count it. Really reccomend this place.

Amazing service and amazing people but most of all amazing location.. the beach is in ur back yard and youre surrounded by shops and restaurants!! Even tattoo shops and arcades! Simply perfect all around.
