Top Karanos Hotel Reviews

Samaria Hotel

Samaria Hotel

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a good stay. The front desk was welcoming, the hotel is very clean, and the location is excellent-we were able to walk to many restaurants and attractions. Our room was small but comfortable. One thing we found unusual was that although breakfast was incl w/ our stay, we would be charged 20EUR/person to eat breakfast on our arrival morning, w/ our incl breakfast starting the following day. The hotel was very helpful w/ arranging transportation and excursions. However, we had a frustrating miscommunication regarding our transportation to Heraklion. Due to the amount of luggage, I contacted concierge to request a larger vehicle and was offered a minibus at a higher price. I responded "As long as it fits all the luggage," which I believe indicated to proceed. Unfortunately, that was not considered a confirmation and our original transportation was canceled, as well. I understand that I could have responded w/ a "yes" but I also wish they had followed up to confirm rather than leaving us w/out transportation . Thankfully, they were able to arrange another minibus that morning, although our departure was delayed. There was also an unnecessary comment from the concierge that we "should have" booked the Balos excursion by boat after ours was canceled due to the fire risk. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay. Excellent location, cleanliness, and overall helpfulness of the staff outweigh the problems. I would still recommend Samaria Hotel."

"I LOVED this hotel! It’s beautiful & peaceful boutique retreat in the center of Old Port but wonderfully tucked away down a small pedestrian alley providing a peaceful environment with all the convenience. The staff were warm, attentive and friendly at both the front desk and the restaurant. The food at the restaurant was fantastic…not to be missed! I stayed in room 102 which was a bit nicer lay out than my friends room who was in 101"

"The location is really great and the hotel is lovely. The staff are incredible- friendly and helpful. Wonderful breakfast. Did not like the smell of the water in the toilet. I imagine it has to do with the water being recycled (grey water) and for such an expensive hotel to not replenish water bottles daily was a surprise. Everything else was fantastic."
