Faistos, Crete hotel rooms at the Independent

"We stayed in a standard room in the main building and it was so lovely! The breakfast was awesome and the walk down to the village was convenient. This hotel has a lovely restaurant attached with great food. Zaros Lake is just around the corner. My favorite part was the spring water running down the side of the road. A very lovely village to visit on your trip around Crete."

"Reception was incredibly nice at check in. Room was great and had everything we needed. "

"Lovey people, from the reception desk to the cleaning staff, everyone is so friendly and polite, great pool area and bar, plenty of sun beds. nice breakfast. "

"A fantastic place to stay. If you want to have a small Greek village experience, you will love this hotel’s location. Yet, it’s an easy drive to several ancient sites and the cool town of Matala. Small family run restaurants are within a short picturesque stroll. The locals are friendly and welcoming. The small village has shops and everything you need for your stay. The local wine is delicious. We had the top floor suite with a private outside area with incredible views of the sea and islands. Parking is easy. Simply drop your bags by the door and head to the hotel’s private parking lot which is not far from the hotel. There are directions in the room to find parking. WiFi was good. We truly enjoyed our stay. "
