Perfect location for what we needed. We stayed in a sea view family room which was two interconnected rooms with balcony. Hotel was not busy and the pool was quiet and refreshing. 10 minute walk into centre but we took the 15 minute scenic route down to the bay and Along the seafront. Staff super friendly and helpful. Would return and highly recommend. Thanks to all that made our stay very enjoyable.

Pool was the best part

Luckily we were there for only one night. Older hotel- pictures don’t match. Minimal. Nice people but the manager smoked in her office which made the reception area smell. Good parking. Blood stained pillow. Bed hard. Water in shower slow drain. Chairs on the small balcony was one of the worse chairs I’ve sat in. Convenient restaurant & bar there though we didn’t eat there.

It's not a safe place: the front door and the main door remain open during the nights, even when the personnel is gone. And an unknow woman came into our room at 7AM when we were sleeping! Unacceptable. No enough parking slots for all customers Pool is nice. Also the room. No elevator (3 floors). Breakfast, nothing special.

Too expensive for what your got. Beds are HORRIBLE. Hard, like sleeping on a boxspring. Rooms are minimal. We didn’t even have a blanket. We had a bed spread which only covered half the bed. The toilette seat cover would fall down constantly when your going to the bathroom so either you had to hold it up if your were a man standing or it leaned against your back . The pool is a saltwater pool and not chlorine, which is nice, but you had to pay $2 for a pool towel which seems ridiculous when your paying to stay at a place with a pool. The breakfast was huge. Pastries, fruit, meats, cheeses, cereals, eggs, juices, etc…

Pros: Jist outside of main area so parking available. Good sea views and a small balcony to sit out in main building. Air con. Staff try to help best they can. Bungalow buildings have larger balconies but rooms same size as sea view rooms. 10 minute walk slightly downhill into main town. Cold shower and toilet available next to pool for late leavers. Cons: Small rooms needing tlc. Bathrooms tiny with shower curtain very close to toilet that cannot be moved / set to side. Fridge iced up and too compact for anything substantial. Mattress lumpy with one pillow each. Pillowcases missing from spare pillows. Air con leaking onto only desk/ table in room. Limited storage space for clothes. 2 towels in room for 2 people. No handrails on higher floors stairwells. Stairs / flooring inside marble tiled. Pool tiles dirty and pool floor painted which rubbed off on feet. No pool towels - sun loungers material worn through and tatty. Toilet / shower by pool door does not lock. Paid more for bottled beer in hotel than in chic town centre. If paying card then have to pay at reception as only have one card reader machine. Cash preferred but no cash kept in til so have to go to reception to pay. Cannot consume own products at hotel unless in room despite being room only and no cooking facilities. Paid more here than I would have liked considering all of the above.

A bit tired. Small bathroom and bedroom, balcony looks over the generous pool, buffet breakfast was passable. No lift - our room was on top floor. Good spot to visit Spinalonga leper island by boat. Good restaurant selections in Elounda but you need to drive there from the hotel.

The only issue I had was that the hotel was in Elounda not Agios Nikolaos despite the expedia app telling me the hotel was "in the heart of Agios Nikolaos" and showing a picture of the famous lagoon in Agios Nikolas. The hotel was on the outskirts of a different town (Elounda) about 6-7 kilometres away and although the town was beautiful and perfectly fine for our holiday it was not where I had been led to believe I had booked.

Hotel calme et un peu isolé à 10min d’Agios Nikol.

Nous avons sejourné 4 jours dans cet hotel. Le personnel est sympathique et a l’ecoute. La chambre etait propre et nettoyée tous les jours. La terrasse est agreable hormis le bruit des voitures lié a la route à proximité. L’hotel est un excentré du centre ville ce qui necessite un moyen de locomotion. Le petit dejeuner est correct. Nous avons eu l’agreable suprise de recevoir un petit cadeau lors de notre depart.

Worst beds I’ve ever encountered. Full stop.

The service was fantastic, but the bathroom was rundown; the shower leaked water all over the floor, and you couldn’t close the door without either stepping into the shower or stubbing your toes. Worst of all, I cannot overstate how awful the beds are. You might as well sleep on the floor because the springs in the mattress were stabbing us all night. There was absolutely no way to get comfortable. For the life of me, I cannot understand why the hotel would subject their guests to such beds. I have no doubt that you could find more comfortable beds in a prison cell — even an inflatable pool raft would be preferable to these. I don’t know how this hotel has such good reviews — if they renovated the bathrooms and got even semi-decent mattresses, it would be alright, but we were sorely tempted to check out after the first night because of the beds.

Nice option fairly close to Elounda

We had a nice one night stay as we were in Elounda to try out some restaurants and a boat trip. The Krini was an ok option, very reasonably priced and they provided us with a family area which was 2 rooms which shared a private corridor which was great. We never used the facilities or ate at the hotel so I can’t comment on those but they looked ok.
