Stunning views and friendly service
One of the loveliest hotels we've stayed in on Crete, and excellent value. Our room had a breathtaking seaview and we'd return just for this alone. But the host, Harris, was also very friendly and attentive, telling us how to navigate down to the beach and town. Air conditioning worked like a dream and the bed was comfy. All in all a brilliant experience, and as we are frequent visitors to Crete we will be back.

Just misses the mark. The property has a great location, sea view, close to town and beach. Harris & Elena friendly. However, breakfast is poor (don’t bother). The room cleaning consisted of a sweep that just moved the dust to the corners - use a mop? A mop would also come in handy for the bathroom as it flooded every time we showered and the water didn’t run towards the drain hole, we had to use towels to mop the floor dry to use toilet and sink. I don’t think under the bed was ever cleaned. Window blind was damaged with the bottom cut off/ fraying and cupboard door needed wiggling to open. Generally the decor is tired and needs refreshing. There is a lot of potential at Galini Mare just a little more care and work needed?

Great Hotel
Really enjoyed our stay here. Had a great view of the coast and beaches. It is up the road from the tourist part of the city and beaches. Small hotel and the owner was very gracious.. Was there for 2 nights and have friends who also have spent time there and liked it.

Harris and his wife are wonderful hosts. We loved our room overlooking the ocean with a small balcony. Everything was clean, the bed comfy. The only negative for us was the shower, very small and impossible not to soak the floor. We would recommend this hotel.

Petit Hôtel sympa, vue incroyable
Nous y avons séjourné une nuit, ville étape.
Petit hôtel tenu par un jeune couple sympa.
La literie n'est pas terrible (matelas pas très confortable et lit qui grince), mais la vue est vraiment sympa. L'ensemble est suffisant pour une nuit et le prix demandé.
A pied d'un centre du village: pratique pour aller manger le soir.
Bon rapport qualité prix au final.

Excellent petit hôtel de 20 chambres très bien tenu par un jeune couple adorable Harris et Elena. Bien que l’hôtel était encore en préparation pour la saison à venir pas de petit déjeuner proposé mais charmante attention le premier matin avec un thé et des sucreries. Bien sûr les meilleures chambres sont celles face à la mer avec petit balcon. Confort sommaire mais suffisant à prix doux hors saison. A recommander absolument. A voir si service tenu en pleine saison. Petite station charmante mais plage quelconque

Wat een fantastisch uitzicht op de prachtige baai. Wat ons betreft is de seaside kamer een "must". Harris en Elena zijn super aardig en konden steeds onze wensen tegemoet komen, zoals ontbijt op ons privé mini balkon. Het ontbijt is ook heel erg lekker en Elena is er terecht trots op. Vergeet niet te genieten van de heerlijke Yoghurt met honing!

Dommage pour le prix
Décevant pour le prix, matelas pas du tout confortable à changer. Salle de bain pas pratique et vieillotte. Bien dommage. Petit déjeuner bon et frais ! En revanche hôtel très propre. Elena est sympathique. Refus de la carte bancaire de la part de Harris. 63 euros la nuit ( sans PDJ ) c’est exagéré : c’est plutôt une gamme entre 45€-50€.
