Just misses the mark. The property has a great location, sea view, close to town and beach. Harris & Elena friendly. However, breakfast is poor (don’t bother). The room cleaning consisted of a sweep that just moved the dust to the corners - use a mop? A mop would also come in handy for the bathroom as it flooded every time we showered and the water didn’t run towards the drain hole, we had to use towels to mop the floor dry to use toilet and sink. I don’t think under the bed was ever cleaned. Window blind was damaged with the bottom cut off/ fraying and cupboard door needed wiggling to open. Generally the decor is tired and needs refreshing. There is a lot of potential at Galini Mare just a little more care and work needed?

Great Hotel
Really enjoyed our stay here. Had a great view of the coast and beaches. It is up the road from the tourist part of the city and beaches. Small hotel and the owner was very gracious.. Was there for 2 nights and have friends who also have spent time there and liked it.

Harris and his wife are wonderful hosts. We loved our room overlooking the ocean with a small balcony. Everything was clean, the bed comfy. The only negative for us was the shower, very small and impossible not to soak the floor. We would recommend this hotel.

Excellent petit hôtel de 20 chambres très bien tenu par un jeune couple adorable Harris et Elena. Bien que l’hôtel était encore en préparation pour la saison à venir pas de petit déjeuner proposé mais charmante attention le premier matin avec un thé et des sucreries. Bien sûr les meilleures chambres sont celles face à la mer avec petit balcon. Confort sommaire mais suffisant à prix doux hors saison. A recommander absolument. A voir si service tenu en pleine saison. Petite station charmante mais plage quelconque
Vue de ce la chambre face à la mer
Vue de la plage en contrebas
Petit balcon très agréable

Wat een fantastisch uitzicht op de prachtige baai. Wat ons betreft is de seaside kamer een "must". Harris en Elena zijn super aardig en konden steeds onze wensen tegemoet komen, zoals ontbijt op ons privé mini balkon. Het ontbijt is ook heel erg lekker en Elena is er terecht trots op. Vergeet niet te genieten van de heerlijke Yoghurt met honing!

Dommage pour le prix
Décevant pour le prix, matelas pas du tout confortable à changer. Salle de bain pas pratique et vieillotte. Bien dommage. Petit déjeuner bon et frais ! En revanche hôtel très propre. Elena est sympathique. Refus de la carte bancaire de la part de Harris. 63 euros la nuit ( sans PDJ ) c’est exagéré : c’est plutôt une gamme entre 45€-50€.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you for the time leaving a review for us. We are sure that you could see the price before you book the room. We are sorry to hear you find our accomodation of 63e expensive for a Double Room with Sea View. You have paid already the room by hotels.com. You paid only the breakfast here by cash as its not included in the price. By saying we denied your payment is not correct. Have a great time in Crete.

Wir haben hier für eine Nacht einen Stop auf unserer Rundreise eingelegt. Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und haben alles zur besten Zufriedenheit erklärt und auf Nachfrage einen Restauranttip gegeben der sehr gut war…wahrscheinlich sind alle Restaurants in diesem Ort zu empfehlen! Zentral über dem Hafen gelegen mit perfektem Blick übers Meer! Wir waren sehr zufrieden und empfehlen es gerne weiter

viehättävä pieni hotelli
Ihana pieni hotelli, siistissä kunnossa oleva vanha hotelli. Nuori viehättävä pariskunta piti hotellia palveluaattiisti. Ihana kreetalainen Aamupala tarjoiltiin pöytiin. Ei mitään ylimääräistä luksusta, paitsi näkymä, mutta täysin vastinetta rahalle.

Bon rapport qualité-prix
Nous avions une chambre sans balcon mais avec vue sur la mer. L’absence de balcon n’est pas grave. La chambre avec lit double était très confortable et la literie de bonne qualité. Harris et sa compagne a l’accueil ont été bien serviables. Le petit déjeuner à 6€ vaut la peine pour éviter de se déplacer. Hotel d’un bon rapport qualité-prix.
