Czyste pokoje i łazienka, posciel i reczniki zmieniane ,kuchnia wystarczająco wyposażona, właściciele hotelu bardzo mili i pomocni ,czysty basen i przede wszystkim bardzo blisko plaza ...polecam serdecznie
Apartments located in the quiet street very close to the beach, few minutes walk. Near by everything supermarkets (Lidl and local), restaurants, tavernas, souvenirs shops, with all necessary stuff (clothes, swimming wear, all for swimming), excursions, bike and car rent. Rethymno is 15 min by bus (bus station few minutes away) or 10 min by car. Heraklion by taxi around 1hr. In apartments and territory is very very clean, a lot of flowers. Owners is taking care a lot. Swimming pool is clean with some water toys. WiFi on all territory. Inside each room everything what you need, TV with YouTube, Netflix, full kitchen, included sandwiches machine and oven. Room is big and thick walls, you didn’t heard your neighbours. We leave on the first and the second floor. Greek and family vibe, friendly, kind and helpful family owner. They suggest us where better to go, visit, treated in the first day with homemade pie. I would like to say thank you. All the best.
Loved all ❤️
Location swimming pool, everywhere close to shop to the beach taverns
Kitchenette only 2 hobs, not enough and oven to small,
Location and very friendly owners.

Hôtel familial simple et propre, à deux pas de la mer et de la ville. Prix très raisonnable en pleine saison. Mention spéciale pour la boisson faite maison de l’adorable grand-père 😉 Merci pour l’accueil !
Manos and his family are lovely hosts! They welcomed us warmly and I spent great chill evenings with them. Unforgettable experience. The rooms are old fashioned but clean and comfortable. The hotel is located in a small streen between the beach and the main streen, prefect location for reach both. Absolute recommended and will return one day. Thank you Manos!
Laid back atmosphere, quiet, close to beach, friendly owner, cleaning was done regularly but also on request. Thanks Manos, regards to the family!
Ett hotell som hade allt jag önskade. Bra läge, lugnt och tyst, härlig balkong, stort rum med sköna sängar och ägaren Manos är super trevlig. Kan absolut rekommendera!
It was in a great location, two mins from the beach and the main road of restaurants and bars. The owner Manos was helpful and friendly. The room had everything you needed, traditional hotel.
I was disappointed in the pool area. It didn’t always look the cleanest. There was only two sunbeds out so felt a bit daft lying there. There was a large space at the far end of the pool which would have been nice to lie on but there were no beds out. I ended up sneaking into a big hotel nearby.
Gente amable. Tiene piscina aunque no la usamos. Tuvimos fácil estacionamiento fuera del hotel.
El wifi no funcionaba bien y no estaba muy limpio. Faltan ciertos utensilios básicos de cocina, pero para una noche estuvo bien.
L’accueil et la serviabilité de Manolos et sa famille. Petit balcon agréable. (Petite piscine pour ceux qui recherchent..Nous préférons la mer) L’emplacement central et calme de l’établissement. Près des commerces et plein de tavernes. Belle plage à l’eau limpide (sable et cailloux ronds au bord).Possibilité du parking
L’étroitesse de la ruelle peut « incommoder », mais n’avons rencontré aucun problème.
The room was fine, nothing special, old furniture, old appliances, but it was worth for these money. A big plus was that there was a bathtub Few steps to beach from appartment.
Probably the only minus is the poorly designed use of the keys as a power switch, when you need to lock the door, the power cuts out and you can’t see the lock. Don't expect the pool to be filled before the season starts.
Gastgeber war freundlich.
Keine angemessene Parkmöglichkeiten beim Hotel. Zufahrt extrem schmal, nur für kleine Autos, keine Wendemöglichkeit, Das Hotel selbst ist schon in die Jahre gekommen.
Although the hotel isn't the newest, the equipment is sufficient and the room is pleasantly spacious.

No breakfast available. Good value for money great location for the middle of Platanes. Taxi ride to Rethymno
Out dated room but totally acceptable
nous avons était très déçu il n y avait meme pas une casserole les utensibles n était pas en très bonne état la salle de bain était dans un très mauvaise état il y a trois matin ou il n y avait pas eau chaude la piscine était sale photos à l appui

Działanie WiFi
El precio está bien, hay un buen supermercado cerca.
Los muebles del alojamiento están anclados en los años 70
Ήταν μεγάλο και ευαερο
Βρίσκεται σε περιοχή που ο δρόμος οριακά χωρούσε το αμάξι μας ( ένα αμάξι!) Δεν το συνιστώ. Ειδικά αν έχετε ευρύ αμάξι κινδυνεύετε να χτυπήσετε. Δε φταίει το κατάλυμα..Ισα ίσα στο σημείο του καταλύματος το εύρος του δρόμου είναι επαρκές. κανείς πόσο μυαλό διαθέτουν οι άνθρωποι ( μιλώ για γείτονες...)
De vriendelijkheid van de eigenaar alles kon en was bereid om je overal mee te helpen
Het zwembad en de kamer schoonmaken maar de schoonmaak zal wel komen doordat het einde seizoen is
L'accoglienza di Mamos, la cameretta, la piccola cucina, il balconcino.
Ok for 1 night
There was 3 of us in the room but most equipments were for 2 like plates, cups, glasses
Asukoht pikast liivarannast 5 minuti kaugusel. Veidi rannas lääne poole liikudes on rand peaaegu inimtühi nagu paradiisis.
Das Personal ist sehr nett und gastfreundlich. Wir haben abends oft an der Bar gesessen und uns unterhalten. Das Zimmer war sauber und wir hatten 1 kleine Küche drin mit allem was man braucht.
Da wir zu dritt waren, hätte das Zimmer etwas größer sein können.
Très bon accueil et très bons équipements ! Petit balcon offrant une belle vue et plage à 5 minutes à pied, sans compter les commerces et restaurants également à proximité
Rien :)
Lovely hotel.Great friendly staff.Nothings too much trouble for them
Nothing
Tres agréable proche de la plage et des commerces et restaurants. Très bon choix !
Alles was correct.
Niets.
Camera a fost mare și curată, balcon mare, piscină curată și chicinetă dotată cu tot ce trebuie, inclusiv cuptor electric. Am fost plăcut surprinsă să găsesc în dulap un fier de călcat . Cel mai mare atuu al camerei pe care am primit-o a fost cada din baie și astfel nu am avut niciodată apă pe jos după ce făceam duș. Zilnic se ridică gunoiul,iar prosoapele și lenjeria a fost schimbată la trei zile. Aerul condiționat de plătește separat,nu este inclus în preț. În septembrie noi nu am avut nevoie. Plaja se află la maxim 3-4 min. de mers, am avut și loc de parcare,iar taverne, magazine și o stație de autobuz găsești foarte aproape.
Singura problemă ar putea fi străduță foarte îngustă pe care se află clădirea. Dacă aveți o mașină mai mare va fi greu de ajuns.
Very friendly hosts, always at hand for anything you need. The apartment is extremely clean and comfortable. The beach is beautiful and very close to the apartment.
There is nothing we didn't like.
Οι ιδιοκτήτες είναι πολύ φιλικοί και εξυπηρετικοί, προσπαθώντας να μας προσφέρουν το καλύτερο. Το ξενοδοχείο είναι παλιό και απαιτείται κάποια ανακαίνιση, παρόλα αυτά ήταν πεντακάθαρο και αλλάζονταν τακτικά τα κλινοσκεπάσματα και η διαμονή ήταν ευχάριστη. Αυτό που δεν μου άρεσε είναι ότι δεν ήταν κατανοητό εξαρχής και χρεωθήκαμε επιπλέον για το κλιματιστικό (5 Ευρώ ημερησίως).
Die Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, jedoch sehr sauber. Die "Herbergswirte" Manos und Nikos (Junior und Senior) sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer ist mit einer kleinen Küchenzeile inkl. Besteck, Geschirr, Kochutensilien und Kühlschrank ausgestattet. Außerdem hat es einen Balkon mit Tisch, Stühlen und Wäscheleinen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Supermarkt und Souveniers), Tavernen und Bushaltestellen sind gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Der fußläufige Strand ist auch sehr zu empfehlen (sauber und gepflegt).
I don’t have any negative comments at all. The host/owner is super friendly and also very accommodating. Hey, go and spend double and treble the price, that is your choice, but when you consider you are out most of the day and night anyway, why would you! For me anyway, a perfect stay and location.
Excellent location, just a one-minute walk from the beach as well as from a street full of restaurants, cafés, shops, and souvenir stores. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very kind and helpful – the landlady even brought me an extra pillow. The apartments are surrounded by greenery and flowers, which creates a pleasant atmosphere, and there is a private parking area for about 10 cars. The room key is connected to a magnet that cuts off the electricity when removed, which is a good safety feature, but the oven and fridge keep working even while guests are away – very practical and convenient. The pool has both a children’s section and a very deep section, and the whole property is run by a family, which gives a warm and personal atmosphere.
The furniture and equipment in the room and bathroom are older and would benefit from replacement or renovation. The stove is quite slow, and it takes time to heat water. The pool, although clean, is lined with foil instead of tiles, and due to the surrounding greenery, bugs and leaves often fall into the water. The street leading to the hotel is very narrow and requires careful driving to avoid scratching the mirrors.
Чистота, близость к пляжу, магазинам и ресторанам.
Не понравились только подушки. Надеюсь, в следующий раз будут поудобнее.
Η τοποθεσία ήταν ιδανική για μετακινήσεις προς παραλία προς ταβέρνα μαγαζιά εστιατόρια όλα ήταν ένα βήμα και χωρίς να χρησιμοποιήσουμε αμάξι για τις καθημερινές μας ανάγκες .
J'ai aimé l'emplacement, la proximité de la plage, la proximité du village, mais assez en retrait pour ne pas entendre trop de bruit.
La lumière des balcons d'en face... La climatisation déficiente Les plaques de cuisson qui manquent de puissance La baignoire vieillotte La lumière du balcon qui ne fonctionnait pas. En fait que des détails qui ne nécessitent pas beaucoup de frais et qui permettraient une meilleure qualité de séjour.
Szállás csendes kis utcában található, néhány perc sétára a strandtól és csak egy percre Platanes központjától. Tulajdonos és családja kedves emberek, segítőkészek. Rendszeres takarítás és törölköző, ágyneműcsere. Ár/érték arányba megfelelő, azt kaptam amit a képek és a leírás tartalmazott.
Régi stílusú apartman, de az ágyak kényelmesek.
The apartments at Hotel Elida are run by a friendly and welcoming family who always take the time to have a chat & give advice on places to visit in the local area. They're clean & all have their own balcony overlooking the pool. There's parking outside for some cars, though the road is very narrow, so only one vehicle wide. It's fairly quiet, with little noise from the main strip, just the sounds of nature - cicadas, birds and chickens. It's close to the beach & close to the main street where you'll find plenty of dining options, shops & the local supermarket. The pool area is clean and tidy with sun loungers and plenty of beautiful flowers and plants. There is a well stocked bar in the pool area as well.
The location was perfect.Manos and his family are lovely people and will do anything for you.The Apartment was very spacious and contained everything you needed
Nothing
Dirty, foul smelling, bugs in the kitchendrawer. Reeked of stale cigarettsmoke.
Absolutely loved the hotel.Great location.Lovely big room with everything we needed.Very clean and very comfortable beds.Manos who owns it is a great person.Very helpful and nothings too much trouble for him.

Une nuit en couple ; “Hôtel très bien situé, avec un accueil chaleureux. La chambre était propre et fonctionnelle, avec en bonus un petit balcon bien agréable.”
Very old and small. The shower curtain had mold growing on it. The kettle was broken. The tap water was supposed to be potable but it tasted horrible.
We got a better room than we had reserved.
Clean and comfortable.
Sewage is backing up from the drain in the bathroom.
Kurzer Weg zum Strand, Parkmöglichkeit am Haus, schöne Aussicht
Friendly Hosts. Near the beach.
Nice family/ host! Appartement with balcony and adequate equipment. Near to Pavlos beach, tavernas and supermarkets. We will come again!
Great location for my journey. Property is very close to the beach. Lots of dining options close by. Parking can be a pain but host goes out.of his way to be accommodating. Laneway to accommodation is very narrow for cars.
Very good location, few minutes walk to the beach and just a minute to the center o Platanes. Old fashioned apartment, fully equipped with all needed accessories. Room No. 8 with perfect position, sun only at late afternoon. Regular cleaning and change of towels, bed sheets. A/C usage is extra 5 EUR per day.
Some renovation required in coming days
Very good, everything is close, beach, shop, restaurant. Cleanliness everywhere, regular cleaning etc. I would like to emphasize the kindness of Mr. Manos and his family.
Friendly owner, position, size of the room, variety of equipment and services (air dryer, safety box, AC, etc.)
An overall update of furniture would increase the value of the facility
It is close to the beach, but central location to restaurants . The family who own/ run it are so friendly & helpful . It was super value for money, you got what I paid for. Some people might not rate the shower or kitchen but it did perfectly well for me.
Nothing, loved it.
Peaceful, relaxing, close to beach in one direction, close to shops, restaurants & supermarkets in the other. Owners friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend.
Located in a competitive area, it is an excellent alternative to low budget. The beach is just at the end of the street and many restaurant on the orther side of the street. Facilities to cook in the studio, air conditionning and private outdoor space beside the pool.. The tenant was very kind, smiling and flexible.
Good location near the beach . Manos was an excellent host snd very helpful
N/A
The hospitality shown by Manos and his family was exceptional. Arrived quite late and was met by Manos with a beer. Always treats from his dad Nikkos (raki) and cake from his mum. Rooms always cleaned and fresh towels and sheets. If you needed anything you only had to ask. Stayed for a month so cooked evening meals several times and found the kitchen and utensils adequate. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return. We arrived as guests and left as friends.
Close to beach, friendly staff
The room very Greek, a bit like going back in time, but in a charming way. The owners and staff, where very sweet & easy.
The only thing was the bed I did not get a good night sleep at all the whole time I was there, not to be mean but have to be honest
Very friendly and willing to help immediatelly if something is missing.
Wifi was weak, I did not mind since I am only relying on my mobile phone.
Location
Air condition with extra fee, hot water not available whenever you want
The friendliness and helpfulness of the family and the lovely flowers and bushes around the property
I would have preferred a different shower, the one in my room was a hand held one with no bracket on the wall for making it easier to use. The lane down to the Elida was fine during the day but very dark at the top of it from the main road at night.
Big spacious room
had everything I needed for self catering and if not staff happy to supply additional things, great location, secure
not much really
location is really good and staff are very friendly and helpful and always willing to help out.. would definitely return
balcony has no sun till late in day
friendly, helpful and caring staff..
not much
Located on quiet rural street. Short easy walk to the beach at one end of the road, shops and good assortment of good restaurants a short walk at the other end of the road. Owner Manos was very helpful and carried out luggage to and from our room up one flight of stairs
Room was very hot. Air conditioning available at extra cost. He forgot to offer and we forgot to ask. We were only booked for two nights so managed
Nice and big room, very clean, with helping and nice owner. There is a pool and small bar in the hotel. Everything was ok, cleaning and change of towels regular. It's close to the beach and to shops (big supermarket nearby and whole street of turistic shops) and tavernas. There is a public transportation available and it's not so far from Rethymno (very long walk if you prefer to walk).
Just as a precaution - remember that it's very turistic place (for some it's better for some it's worse). And be careful if you go by car - street to hotel is very narrow and not always you'll find a place to park in front of the hotel (if you're a good driver it's not a problem at all).
Amazing place. Right next to the beach. Superfriendly owner that helps out with everything. Clean and god sized pool.
Schoon appartement, 3 keer per week schone laken en handdoeken. Verouderd interieur, maar geen probleem voor mij.
Bien situé question commerces Endroit calme Accès rapide à la nationale
We had a clean apartment and Manus and his family were very kind and friendly. Looking forward to come back. Thank you
L’hotel Était bien situé. Resto épicerie Bakery à proximité. Point central pour visite Mont Ida et Rethymno. Près de la plage. Autobus au coin de la rue. La piscine etait appréciée, mais beaucoup trop de chlore...
Pro: - Clean and cozy room - Quiet place. Many good restaurants, supermarket and beach are very close. - Well maintained swimming pool, deep enough to dive. (-the deepest spot will be about 3 meters) - Kind and helpful host family Cons: - Unreachable distance by foot from the center of Rethymno (more than 10km away) - Too much chemical smell from the pool.
Struttura in posizione ottima, vicinissima alla strada principale con tutti i servizi ( bar, ristoranti, supermarket) ma comunque tranquilla e silenziosa. La famiglia che la gestisce è molto gentile e disponibile. La piscina è piccola ma ottima per i pomeriggi caldi
