Cressa Suites

Excellent rooms in heart of old town - perfect location for exploring and only 20 mins walk to town beach. Clean, well equipped suites, plus a wonderful continental style breakfast which can be served on roof top terrace or inroom. All the staff were excellent and so welcoming- thoroughly recommend.

Are you excited to go on vacation to do some cleaning? No? Me neither! But that is what I got to do BOTH nights of this stay. I had splurged to get the outdoor-hottub room, because I truly needed a calm and relaxation. Instead, I arrived at a hottub that was filthy. Spend an hour the first night cleaning. The whole outdoor area looked like a bar fight. The space below the tub like someone had bashed it in. The lounge chair deeply disgusting with mold. Looked like they consistently emptied the tub onto the floor? Hot tip: Don’t have fabric chairs there, then! Even the parasol had a giant tear in the fabric. It looked nothing like the photos on the site. The next day? Dirty all over. Turns out the place was renovating?? Meaning no access to the promised spaces, like the rooftop. Or even the socalled private outdoor space, since there was builders looking in from literally both below and above. But obviously also meaning very dirty. No one seemed to care to clean for the guest after the day of building work. It was like they hadn’t done their maintenance during the winter and did it now instead to full inconvinience for paying guest. Couldn’t help but wonder if the outside was so dirty - how clean was the inside really? Also, I have a concussion. I asked specifically and repeatedly if calm was available. Sure, they said. Hint: Builders, hammers - not calm. There was a lot of other smaller inconviniences, all adding up to me giving up even mentioning them. Sad…

Cressa Suites is the perfect location within the heart of Old Town and provides a great base for exploring this part of Crete. Spacious, clean and modern rooms with a great breakfast served in your room or on the amazing rooftop terrace. Courteous and friendly staff make this a perfect place to stay - quiet but literally minutes away from the bustling amenities of Old Town. Public car parking is a 5 minute walk from the hotel, priced at €5 per day. Highly recommended

It is located in the Old Town. There are only six rooms and so there isn't anyone there full time- they request that you tell them when you plan to arrive. We have a good sized room with a private deck. On the deck there is a very large Jacuzzi, though we didn't use it. A large umbrella provides shade. There is a table and chairs where it is pleasant to eat breakfast or you can go up to the roof and dine there in the sun. There is also a folding contraption that you can use to dry your towels or clothes. There is an exercise ball and two inflated lounge chairs. The king sized bed (actually two singles attached and sharing the blanket) is very comfortable [if you like firm mattresses - most Brits won't like the level of firmness]. The shower, toilet and sink are all in separate areas. The shower is large and very good. It is totally enclosed so there is no risk of water getting on the floor of the room. If you use hair conditioner bring your own as it's not provided (skin moisturizer is however). The breakfast is delivered to you in a basket. You call down after 8:00 AM for it. It is good but of course you don't have the multitude of choices that a hotel's breakfast buffet offers. For example it has only white bread not the whole grain we prefer.

Great location , friendly staff , nice breakfast
