Dårlig vask av utvendig boblebad-unødvendig med boblebad innvendig tok opp mye plass
Sentralt, veldig god seng, rene rom, stor og deilig dusj, god frokost.
Jacuzzien kunne vært renere.
La literie, le petit déjeuner, le parking
Les toilettes n’étaient pas propres . J’en ai informé l’accueil mais rien n’a été fait !
Personale disponibile e accogliente, colazione discreta
Bagno troppo piccolo
Propreté de la chambre Emplacement
Petit déjeuner à compléter ( yaourt, chocolat chaud par exemple)
Die Größe des Zimmers war gut.
Wir haben die Unterkunft gebucht, weil wir einen Parkplatz wollten. Vor Ort hieß es Parkplatz ist vorübergehend geschlossen. Personal war nicht sehr freundlich.
…
Gode senger
De hadde ikke basseng
Camera pulitissima, dotata di tutti i comfort. Posizione eccellente proprio nel centro di Platanias. Colazione ricca e ottima!
Niente!
Πολύ άνετο ,ήσυχο διαμέρισμα με όλες τις παροχες,πεντακάθαρο,εξοπλισμένη κουζίνα,μπουρνούζια και παντόφλες,εξαιρετικα στρωματα στα κρεβατια, υδρομασάζ στη ντουζιέρα, τηλεόραση και aircondition και στους 2 χώρους, πλούσιο πρωινό σε όμορφο χωρο, δροσερό (ήταν ισογειο) και δεν χρησιμοποιησαμε καθόλου κλιματισμό παρότι είχε καυσωνα. Ήταν πολύ κοντά στην παραλια και είχε εστιατορια ,μαγαζια τριγύρω.
Το μόνο ενοχλητικό ήταν η μυρωδιά υγρασίας που είχε μόνο στο μπάνιο.
Friendly and helpfull staf, comfortable and very well equiped room, clean object, very nice localisation.
The staff were lovely and very helpful. Great location a few steps away from the beach. The breakfast was nice, though I missed some fresh fruits. Maybe some local pastries would be a nice touch too. There is a parking garage, lovely!
The cleaning could have been better but the staff were great resolving the issue. The throws for the beds should be washed more often, no question. Our room was also located right across another room’s AC, the outside vent, and the noise was almost unbearable. It was on and off at night, and really terrible for a light sleeper.
La tranquillità
Fin lokasjon med enkel tilgang til det meste i Platanias.
Har ikke svømmebasseng. Bare en jacuzzi. På dager med rødt flagg på stranden er det kjekt å ha svømmebasseng.
Nous avons tout aimé de l'accueil chaleureux, l'environnement proche de tout et de la plage, prêt de serviettrs, l'apartement est spacieux et frais, tout est bien pensé, c'est propre. Nous avons une petite terrasse, un étendoir pour nos maillotsLe petit déjeuner est varié et trés bon. Il y a un parking privé. Trés Belle découverte!
L’emplacement La qualité des équipements de la chambre
Le parking de l’hôtel complètement à notre arrivée
The location close to everything. Clean room every day. Nice staff.
Noisy AC units.
Czysto było
Parking, śniadanie, a zwłaszcza podła kawa. Jacuzzi w pokoju, bo to zwykła wanna dla jedne osoby.
Καθαρό,ήσυχο,ωραίο πρωινό ,τέλειο τζακουζι
Tout : le personnel est très accueillant, toujours à l’écoute et disponible. Le petit déjeuné est très bon et fait maison. La chambre est exceptionnelle, on ne s’attendait pas a si bien. L’emplacement est idéal, à proximité de la plage et du centre ville, tout en étant au calme.
« Pas aimé » est largement exagéré, mais certaines fonctions du jacuzzi et de la douche ne marchaient pas toujours. On aurait également apprécié avoir au moins 1 bouteille d’eau par jour par personne, non 1 seule. Enfin, nous avons fini le reste de gel douche dès le premier jour, et il n’a pas été rempli par la suite ( mais on aurait pu tout à fait le notifier aussi ). Mise à part ces tout petits détails, tout était parfait, encore merci.
Lit très grand et très confortable, personnel agréable
Parking un peu complexe, mais parking gratuit
Velmi dobré místo , všude kousek . Velmi dobrá snídaně. Parkování v podzemní garáži !
Někdy byl hluk z vedlejší hospody New planet dost velký , když se hrál nějaký zápas .
Το δωμάτιο που κλείσαμε ήταν πάρα πολύ άνετο με όλες τις ανέσεις το τζακούζι το μπαλκόνι που ήταν σαν ταράτσα το μπάνιο όλα ήταν υπέροχα με όλα τα κομφόρ
Ο μπουφές στο πρωινό ήταν πολύ μικρός καιι …………….δεν είχε πολύ ποικιλία.. επίσης δεν μας άρεσε που δεν υπήρχε ασανσέρ στο να ανεβαίνουμε στον τρίτο
la posizione è la colazione
il parcheggio
posizione tranquilla, comoda per una tappa per visitare l'Isola di Creta. Villaggio interamente dedicato al turismo anglosassone e nord europeo. Hotel pulito, con camere ampie e molto bene arredate, con tutto quanto necessario per trascorrere sia pochi giorni sia ua vacanza più lunga avendo una cucina attrezzaata e buoni spazi abitabili. La spiaggia non è lontana ed è accessibile. C'è una jacuzzi sul terrazzo della sala colazione.
la colazione non aveva prodotti plant based e non c'era ampia scelta.
Πολύ όμορφο , καθαρό
Τα φώτα τρεμοεπαιζαν, δεν άναβαν όλα
Location, excellent and professional staff
Room supplies could be more frequent
Pulizia, spazi, parcheggio e confort
Camera pulita giornalmente, comfort plus (ciabattine, accappatoio, shampoo, bagnoschiuma, crema corpo), materasso ed arredamenti nuovi. Colazione di qualità varia ed abbondante. L'unico neo il parcheggio sotterraneo di non facile accesso e tv senza canali italiani.
Il caffè non era caffè.
Il caffè.
Καλή τοποθεσία, φιλικό προσωπικό, καθαρά δωμάτια.
Κακής ποιότητας πρωινό, ακατάλληλο πάρκινγκ έκανα ζημιά 500 € στο αμάξι με την απότομη ράμπα. Επίσης, έχει εξαερισμό πλυντηρίου στο υπόγειο και τις μονάδες κλιματισμού των δωματίων στον ίδιο χώρο κάτι που βάζει κακής ποιότητας αέρα στα δωμάτια.
Location, parking, breakfast
douche balneo
Bardzo polecam! Lokalizacja praktycznie w samym centrum, tuż przy morzu, wokół dużo sklepów i restauracji. Apartament bardzo przestronny, codziennie sprzątany a kuchnia w pełni wyposażona! Serdecznie każdemu polecam
Nie mam zastrzeżeń
Ho trascorso sei giorni davvero piacevoli in questo hotel. Lo staff è stato sempre cordiale e disponibile. La camera era perfetta: molto grande, pulita e dotata di tutti i comfort necessari per un soggiorno rilassante. La posizione è ottima: a pochi passi dal mare e vicinissima alla strada principale, piena di ristoranti, bar e negozietti.
Se devo trovare un paio di aspetti migliorabili, direi la colazione, che offriva poca varietà nella parte dolce, e il parcheggio, comodo ma con pochi posti disponibili (massimo 7 auto) e spazi piuttosto stretti.
Расположение отличное , рядом хороший супермаркет Synka, автобусная остановка откуда можно легко поехать на все самые красивые пляжи а также в город . Тихо, уютно , атмосферно
The coffe at breakfast had a strange taste and flavour
πρωινο ηταν καλο,
τα παραθυρα δεν ειχαν Σιτες,με αποτελεσμα να μην μπορεις να τα ανοιξεις, και το δωματιο μετα μυριζε, η πορτα της ντουζιερας ειχε μεγαλο κενο στο κατω μερος ,με αποτελεσμα να περναει νερο στο υπολοιπο μπανιο και να γινεται πολυ ολισθυρο το πατωμα, και βρωμικο.
Colazione buona, purtroppo caffè pessimo .. Varia e buona la vista
Caffè
The in room jacuzzi was amazing! It really adds to the room. It was spotless.
Maybe instructions should be given for the jacuzzi use.
Obiekt blisko morza i plaży. Można pochodzić po Platanias do nocy po sklepikach, po pubach. Można wykupić wycieczki - autokar zabiera spod hotelu. Obiekt bardzo dobrze wyposażony (szlafroki, kapcie, szczoteczki do zębów...) sprzątany codziennie. Przemiła obsługa.
Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία, στο κέντρο του Πλατανιά! Πεντακαθαροι χώροι, ευγενικό προσωπικό σε ότι χρειαστήκαμε πρόθυμο να μας εξυπηρετήσει!
La struttura è molto vicina al mare. Platanias in sè non è un luogo pittoresco. È una strada piena di negozi e ristoranti, sale giochi, bar con neon e auto che sfrecciano veloci. Ha però un'ottima posizione per escursioni in spiagge e località culturali molto belle dell'occidente cretese. L'albergo ha una discreta colazione (a volte un po' disorganizzata, con cose che mancano tipo tazze e bicchieri o portate che non vengono riassortite). Lo staff è molto premuroso la pulizia è attenta.
Le stanze: abbiamo preso due soluzioni superior. Una quadrupla e una tripla. Entrambe al pian terreno, con pochissima aereazione. La tripla ha una stanza "cieca" senza finestra. Mentre la struttura sembra ristrutturata da poco, il bagno aveva i segni del tempo. Nella quadrupla bagno piccolissimo. Questione parcheggio: si parla di parcheggio libero ma con prenotazione, affrettatevi perchè ha al massimo spazio per sette- otto auto. Il prezzo poi non è adeguato alla struttura.
I would give it strong 4 stars hotel for the things hotel provides, for example: robes, room slippers, even tooth brush kit-something that not every “good hotel 4 stars in Europe would provide. The ladies at the reception were kindest and sweetest people, very helpful and polite. Everything we requested upon our stay, was always answered with a YES! Room was spacious, good AC, even complimentary water/tea/coffee. Our windows were facing the main road which was always busy with tourists, but we did not hear any noise.
One of the ladies working at the breakfast restaurant brought glasses for the water, by putting all her fingers inside of them.
Mooie grote kamer! Heel lekker schoon. Perfecte ligging!
Es war sauber und genau wie auf den Bildern! Da der Strand ausnahmslos an jedem Tag gesperrt war, war das Whirlpool im Zimmer eine willkommene Abwechslung.
Die Frühstückstische wurden nicht immer abgeräumt, so war oft kein Tisch zum Frühstücken frei.
Sentral beliggenhet, flott rom med god seng. God, basic frokost og lang åpningstid på denne. Hyggelig og hjelpsom personale i resepsjonen. Kort vei til strand.
Harde puter, spurte om de hadde noen mykere/mindre men det hadde de ikke.
Great apartment, spacious, well appointed. Lovely breakfast. Short walk to beach. Easy to get to everything. Would come back.
Kjedelig frokost , men ok Nært stranda, Liv og røre om man ønsker. Rom som beskrevet. Ikke heis til vårt rom Vi lå på 302- med jacuzzi. Greit opphold.
The shower was ok, the rest was terrible
We booked the room for the jacuzzi in the room, which immediately when turned on, was filled with black flakes specific to jacuzzis that are not cleaned properly/maintained (you can look it up on Google, jacuzzi black flakes), the manager came to check and just sent someone to clean the outside of it, which clearly wasn't what they needed to do, you need to put some solutions inside like the "oh yuk jetted tub cleaner", and let the jets run for 30 minutes then repeat for like 2 times, probably 4 times given the state it was in, also the shower of the jacuzzi didn't work either, she said the repairman would come tomorrow to fix it which never happened, therefore the jacuzzi never worked, it was just bait. Secondly, we showed the manager that the balcony door was stuck, you had to push/pull REALLY hard to open or close it, she didn't say anything about it, just pretended like she didn't hear it. We paid for the breakfast for three days, we ate only on the first day as it was really poor, i preferred to go out and eat instead. Very bad experience, I don't understand how this hotel can have rating 9.
Everything was very good staff so friendly 🥰
Only the wifi was not good
Todo bien salvo que la habitación no fue la que se mostró en la foto que se me envió El aire acondicionado de la habitación donde dormir no funcionaba y las recepcionistas no fueron capaces de solucionarlo de ninguna forma
Hot tub and big rooms
I couldn’t stay longer
