Karmi Apartments

Very clean for what you pay.

Location is perfect with a bus stop right outside.

Basic accomodation for a short stay; there was a kitchen corner and a fridge, a balcony with nice view in the morning. We arrived pretty late in the evening, but the host was waiting for us and let us in.

Too close to a busy road with almost constant noice until late night; a lot of mosquitos and no nets at the balcony door. The shower was miniature and was not possible to attach the shower head to the wall.

Location is quite good, I am glad we didn't end up in Chania, which is highly overrated and overpriced. There are enough restaurants and shops within 5-10 minute ride (you must have a car), but also a bakery and a small groceries in a walking distance. The beach is accessible within 10 minute walk, too. One with rocks and one with sand a little further, but still close enough. The location is good for exploring Western part of the island including Kissamos, Elafonisi, Falasarna, Chania and, a little further, Rethymno. Room was clean and serviced every second day and was spacious and had a small kitchen annex, but with everything you need to make breakfast or supper, including kitchen utensils. AC worked quiet enough to sleep. Small terrace with chairs, table and clothesline was also a useful addition.

I didn't like the most the fact that shower head was not mounted on the wall and we were forced to hold it. I hate when owners do that. If it's for saving water, it doesn't work, it only makes me take showers longer. Besides that bathroom had everything we needed, water was hot any time of the day. The bed was double indeed, but just enough for 2 people, far from king/queen size. Also very soft, if that matters for you, definitely too soft for my taste or my partner's. WiFi worked well most of the time, but occasionally stopped working for 20-30 minutes. Mobile reception was good (5G), so we could use it as a backup.

We ate breakfast out every day.

As a swimming pool engineer I found the suction pipes in the deep end of the pool to be uncovered without an antivortex safety cover over. A small child could be sucked onto the pipe and die. In UK the pool would be closed. On the plus side we really enjoyed the spacious pool.

Thank you karmi for a very memorable stay. The apartment was immaculately clean , with beautiful pool and breakfast facilities for a small charge. The apartment complex was so quiet at night , which was perfect for me. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe. There was always a member of staff on site. The location was perfect , with the choice of supermarkets close by. The Village of Kolymvari & beach were within walking distance, or you could take the bus , bus stop was across the road, with buses running frequently. I look forward to making many more returns to Karmi Apartments. 😊 Thank you Karmi Báirbre Ireland 🇮🇪

Good location.

All good.
