We asked for a quiet room and even though the hotel didn't reply, we were put in very quiet room. The only thing I would change would be to have a mattress protector under the sheet and a bigger top sheet and blanket as it was a bit small. The room was immaculate.
Beds & pillows were comfy. Hotel was quiet. Check in desk stayed open until midnight when I arrived and was very kind on the phone and in person... even at midnight! Upper front rooms have balcony and slight view of ocean. Toilet was leaking, hotel is a little old, but the property is kept up very nicely. Five-minute walk to village & beach. Amazing hotel for the price of $44! Didn't use shower or pool and didn't eat breakfast--only stayed one night. Hotel is a 1-1/2 hour drive from HER airport on a steep winding road.
Hotel Esperides is a lovely quiet hotel on the main road just across from the road into Myrtos, a quiet tourist town on the southern coast of Crete. Wonderful breakfast for 9 euros per person, with large assortment of foods. Small elevator available.
Very accommodating when we arrived early from the ferry to Heraklion, Crete; we were able to purchase breakfast even before check in, and they got 2 rooms ready for us an hour or so before their usual check in time. Also arranged taxi back to Heraklion for us for the day we left. Easy walk into Myrtos and to the beach. Free parking for those who had cars. Mostly European tourists; lots of families. Would definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room serviceable but deco very dated. Had room at back with good view of beautiful countryside. Good location walking distance to centre of Mirtos.
Very nice place! Excellent value. Some wear around the edges, but well cared for and great service. Room was very comfortable and clean. Pool and public areas were good. Breakfast bar was delicious with many options. Close walk to beach and main town area, but far enough away to avoid the crowd if you wanted. Great value for the price!

Prima kamer
Douche wederom erg klein en douchekop laag voor een Noord Europeaan, maar wel deels gerenoveerd
Lekker en gevarieerd ontbijt
Zwembad gedateerd maar functioneel en schoon
Hôtel pas tout jeune, mais bien gérer par le propriétaire qui l’améliore chaque année en changeant climatiseur, lit…etc.
Très bon séjour pour nous dans cet hôtel et cette région de la crête que nous avons adoré. Je recommande.
Bis auf die Servicekraft für die Zimmerreinigung unfreundliche Mitarbeiter. Anonymität wird hier groß geschrieben. Das Hotel müsste renoviert werden. Zum Schlafen und frühstücken reicht es. Ansonsten hat ein Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft nichts mit einem Hotelurlaub gemein.
Equipe de l hotel tres professionnelle. Tres propre. Literie tres confortable. Hotel un peu veillot mais tout fonctionne. Chambre a l arrière tres calme. Merci a toute l équipe
Budgetboende. Poolen okey. Duschen liten med ett mögligt draperi och trasigt duschfäste och en trasig duschdraperistång. Verkar inte bry sig. Dålig fjärrkontroll till AC. Okey personal. Inget utöver det vanliga för en gäst. Vill man bo billigt och väldigt enkelt är det okey med detta hotell. Ok frukost.
L’hôtel est bien entretenu, plutôt bien conçu mais date des années 1970 donc a vieilli en terme d’aménagement des chambres.
Pour le reste, accueil charmant, entretien et petit-déjeuner impeccables et plutôt bien.
Great location, close to the Med. and the village, very friendly staff, and the Pantelakis family will go to the extreme to make your stay a wonderful experience.
Hôtel situé à 100 m de la plage, accueil très sympa, propreté parfaite, piscine agréable,. Petit déjeuner 6 euros.
Chambre spacieuse très propre. Clim ds la chambre.
Accueil chaleureux, les propriétaires parlent Français et sont très sympathiques. La piscine est très agréable. Le petit déjeuner servi sur la terrasse ombragée est copieux et excellent.
L'hôtel aurait besoin d'un rafraîchissement, pour notre chambre, la salle de bain en particulier.
Nous y avons passé une nuit seulement. La climatisation était parfaite. Le personnel aussi.
Op loopafstand van het pittoreske gezellige dorpje Mirtos kamer 314 was gedateerd maar erg schoon er werd alle dagen schoongemaakt zelfs op zondag! Zeer uitgebreid ontbijt!

Hôtel vraiment que pour "dormir"
Endroit agréable hôtel juste bon pour dormir ( bruyant, tv année 80, 3 chaîne en grec) lieu alentour très beau
Εξαιρετική φιλοξενία, επαγγελματισμός, πολύ καθαρό ξενοδοχείο και ανέσεις. Πλούσιο πρωϊνό, άριστοι χώροι εξυπηρέτησης, ησυχία. Εξαιρετικό κλίμα και πολλά ενδιαφέροντα στην περιοχή.

Las instalaciones necesitan una renovación, pero todo el personal fue muy amable. Está bien situado si lo que se quiere es calma, con la playa muy cerca, pero se necesita coche ya que está a unos 15 kilómetros de Ierapetra.
Bon dans l'ensemble pour le prix
Accueil très très chaleureuse toujours à l'écoute et à notre service

mirtos, crete
This is a small village on the sea with friendly people and not so crowded with tourists as some other places on the island. There are Minoan ruins and good hiking trails nearby.
