9/10 Wonderful! (133 reviews)
Amazing stay. Very tranquil property and extremely clean and well kept. Katerina was their absolute best waitress. If you did get anyone but her service was honestly subpar. And if you’re staying multiple days the menu can honestly become mundane. But there are restaurants just a quick 5 minute walk away. If you are looking to visit the beach more than the pool this isn’t the area to stay. The beaches are VERY rocky. Huge rocks.

Beautiful Hotel in a Great Location, But Some Details Let It Down
We recently stayed at Castello Boutique Suites in Sissi, Crete to celebrate our anniversary, and overall, we had a very good holiday. The hotel made a wonderful gesture by upgrading us to a larger suite with a private side pool, which felt so special and really set the tone for our stay. The suite itself was stylish and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent every morning, and the staff were consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The location couldn’t be better — just a 2-minute walk from the charming port of Sissi, with plenty of tavernas and shops nearby. That said, as this is marketed as a five-star hotel, we were a little disappointed by some details.
Positives:
– Thoughtful anniversary upgrade to a suite with private pool.
– Beautiful, modern, and spacious room.
– Fantastic location (2 minutes from Sissi port).
– Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice and quality.
– Friendly, professional, and welcoming staff.
– Relaxed, peaceful atmosphere throughout.
Negatives:
– Private pool jets and lights didn’t work; nothing was fixed during our stay.
– Pool needed topping up and sides had algae.
– No towel hooks in the bathroom; “do not disturb” system broken.
– Daily housekeeping, but balcony wasn’t cleaned in 8 nights.
– Cups and glasses not refreshed — had to wash them ourselves. No blinds/curtains: poolside window let in sun at 5am, back window was lit at night, affecting sleep and

Hotel was lovely, staff were really friendly and very helpful nothing was too much trouble. Check in was seamless with a welcome drink and hot towels upon arrival. Rooms were spotless and a nice size many with a sea view. The sun beds were very comfortable and plenty for everyone even though some people still felt the need to reserve first thing in the morning.
A big shout out to Aphrodite in the restaurant in the evenings she was so friendly and went out of her way to assist with menu and gluten free options.
All in all a lovely stay and would recommend to stay here for a lovely relaxing break.
