Минимальный комфорт проживания. Отель на берегу моря Minimum living comfort. Hotel by the sea

1) Beach
The only significant plus of the hotel is the sea, which is right next to the hotel and a clean, well-groomed beach (though, almost throughout Crete, the beaches are clean and well-groomed). The beaches in Greece are all municipal, so you will not find a hotel with its own beach. On the beach near this hotel, the cost of 2 sunbeds with a mattress + 1 umbrella for the whole day is 9 euros (in a storm 7-5 euros). There are trash cans, tables and ashtrays. The beach has nice and clean sand. When entering the sea, there are small stones, but there are very few of them. The water is clean and transparent. The hotel has a swimming pool and free sunbeds for guests. But there was no desire to swim in this pool, as it looked rather untidy. There is also a shower near the pool, which is completely clogged with squeak.
2) Rooms

The room itself is quite pleasant - white walls, wooden furniture and almost all rooms have a balcony, but they all face the street and the mountains (this is why it is very noisy in the evenings and at night). There are no balconies on the side of the hotel that overlooks the sea. Some rooms have air conditioning (chargeable). We had a double room, but there are no double beds in the hotel (or only 1-2 rooms with a double bed). The shower is a small tile bath without a curtain, so when taking a shower, the entire bathroom is in the water (it’s better not to wash without slippers). Hot water from about 7 to 9 pm. There is no TV, wi-fi, hair dryer, beach towels in the room. Only 2 shower towels (large and small) and soap per person are provided.
3) Purity
We drove into a dusty room. There was dust on all the furniture and the floor was not washed. The room was cleaned every day, but all the cleaning lady did was put in new toilet paper and superficially wipe the floor where you can see (the floor was never washed under the bed) and that's it.
4) Breakfast
Breakfast at the hotel is always the same (from 8 to 10). These are buns, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ cheese and sausages, butter, jam, juice, coffee (there is milk), tea. Such a breakfast at the price of the hotel costs 5 euros.
5) Staff
The staff is friendly and pleasant. Everyone speaks English.
General impression:
The hotel provides the most minimal comfort needed for a holiday. But, if the owners of the hotel were more proactive, then this hotel could become one of the best budget hotels. Put wi-fi in the rooms, pay more attention to cleaning the hotel and diversify breakfasts - it doesn’t cost much work and then the guests would be happier. Although we still left satisfied, because Crete is an island where you want to return and swim in this perfectly azure sea : ))
As for the village itself, this is a coastal street on which there are: a cafe / restaurant, a souvenir shop, a clothes shop, an excursion shop, car rental and again cafes, shops....all in a circle. Prices are the same everywhere. Any meal costs up to 10 euros per person. It is better to book excursions on the street, there is more choice than the tour operator and guides who know history (there are also Russian groups), and the cost is practically the same, in some cases the tour operator is even more expensive. Better yet, rent a car and drive yourself, the roads in Crete are perfect.
