Great
Our stay was great close to a great beach and walking distance to a nice restaurant. The aircon thermostat didn’t work so aircon went all night and got very cold. Our host was very helpful and lovely. Easy off street parking.

The definition of Cretan hospitality
From the first day to the last Mr Giwrgos and the manager were friendly, helpful and the ultimate hosts. Super clean rooms, fully resourced and comfortable with private balcony and a beautiful communal roof garden. Complimentary fresh fruits served daily. Plenty of assistance provided with arranging tours and getting around. Great location, a very short walk to several beautiful beaches and a scenic beach stroll to Nea Chora and Chania town centre. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back to stay at Ilona again. Jo & Mike

Stay in Chania
Our stay was excellent. Property is clean, towels and linen regularly changed. The staff is friendly. The management leaves fresh fruit for grab every day. The location is excellent both for visiting the island and for lazy days by the nearby beach. The kitchenette is equipped with basic facilities. A microwave would definitely be welcome. Overall highly recommended

10/10 Exceptional

The property is in a great location: walking distance to the beach, a supermarket on the corner, and a convenient bus stop. The property itself is unique because there is a lovely roof top garden area for sunning and enjoying the view. The owner goes out of his way to make you feel at home. During this recent visit we feasted on tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, oranges, and fresh figs that the owner gave out free to guests. The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily with reliable internet connection.

EXCELLENT THREE NIGHT STAY
Excellent. Spotlessly clean, quiet, very welcoming, easy parking and though the car was needed to get to the centre, that was OK. Good signage from main road but beware the Google Maps because it does not show roads clearly. Cannot recommend highly enough for the price. Old fashioned but everything worked well.

The apartment was very nice and the service excellent. It was cleaned every day. Vegetables and fruit were offered (free) to all customers and they were at our disposal at any time. The area is quiet and close to whatever one might want to do. I would recommend it as an excellent choice.

8/10 Very Good

Very welcoming
The owner and the girls working there were amazing. We arrived late in the night and they left an evening snack and water in our room which was greatly appreciated because nothing was opened at that hour. Every day he brought fresh tomatoes, fruits, even eggs which he was leaving for the guests in the lobby to take whenever we wanted for free. The rooms get tidied up every day and every three days the sheets and towels get changed. The girls who work there are always smiling and ready to answer any questions. The studio had everything it nedeed, but the appliances are a bit tired and in need of refreshing. The beach is 3 minutes walk, which is great and Chania Harbour is 30 min walk. I'm sure a bus can be taken to Chania as we saw a station very close to the hotel, but we chose to walk. The only downside of the place is that on the left and right side of it, very close, are two unfinished buildings which don't look so good, but if you don't intend to spend your holiday in the room, it shouldn't bother you that much. It is a good base to explore the West side of the island from and the hospitality shown by the people there is amazing.

Simple,clean accommodation at a reasonable price.
My stay was reasonably priced.However,accommodation is generally basic on Crete and the bathroom facility can be a problem.I stayed in room 14 .The toilet leaked badly.When it flushed it seemed to flush in a few directions .The plumbing seemed to be a do - it - yourself style.The bed was a double one which I found very comfortable since I was on my own.

3 weeks refreshing stay at Ilona Apartments
We had a lovely 3 week stay at Ilona Apartments. Staff always helpful. Room was big and AC good. Bed could been softer must admit for 3 weeks stay. Short distance to bus stop and grocery stores. Beaches within walking distance though taking the bus a few stops gave better options. No issues finding parking near the hotel (Ilona also have their own area for parking). We were there late august to mid sept so might be more pressure in high season. Buses usually quite crowded. Renting a car recommended , you get to see so much more of Crete (Anna Cars recommended). All in all, can recommend Ilona Apartments.
