Guest Reviews

• Franck (10/5): Sejour a la canee - Sejour de 4 nuits dans cet hotel. Le personnel est adorable. Attentif et toujours souriant. Le petit dejeuner est varié. Notre chambre avait vue sur la mer. Hotel tres propre et calme. Plage accessible rapidement a pied. Transports, magasins et restaurants a 3 min a pied.
• Elda (10/5): Anbefales til dei som liker rolige strøk. - Vi er fornøyde, god service, hyggelige ansatt, hjelpsomme, reint hotell, fint område, behagelig og rolig omgivelser. Det tar bare 5 minutter å gå til stranda.
• Mirjam Judith (10/5): - Ett utmärkt boende. Supertrevlig personal, fina rum och
• Justin Claudio (10/5): - The staff is extremely helpful & very friendly
• Emma (10/5): Beautiful Hotel - Beautiful Hotel. Wonderful hosts, they couldn’t do enough for us. Loved the balcony with sea view. Really enjoyed our stay, hope to visit again.
• Kevin (8/5): Great hotel! - Amazing hotel with extremely friendly staff. My only criticism is the size of the sofa beds, I am 188cm tall and could not stretch out. Other than that, perfect.
• sally (10/5): - Folia hotel apartments was very well kept, clean, newly renovated and everything was in good working order. They had a very nice breakfast buffet everyday for 10 euros. The pool area was clean and beautiful. We paid 3 euros/day to park our car. The driveway up was steep and the parking spot a bit tight, but everything worked out great. We even had a little patio area out back for eating and viewing the sea. The owners and staff were very nice and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel.
• Aino (10/5): - Hotelli oli siisti ja mukava kaikin puolin. Aamupala oli hyvä ja riittävä. Hotellin henkilökunta oli erittäin palvelualtista ja auttoivat esimerkiksi suunnittelemaan päiväretkiä eri nähtävyyksille. Palvelusta antaisin enemmän kuin 5 tähteä jos olisi mahdollista. Suosittelen hotellia lämmöllä ja palaan varmasti itsekin uudelleen. :)
• Laura Simona (10/5): - This property was fantastic- exceptional cleanliness, beautiful location, close to the beach and restaurants but tucked away so that it is not loud, very friendly staff, overall beautiful place that I highly recommend and would gladly return to.
• John (10/5): - Friendy staff. Easy to communicate. The owners are always there to answer questions and suggest a good restaurant in the area. Very clean and comfortable beds. Thumbs up all the way.
• Gitte (10/5): Fantastisk familievenligt hotel i rolige omgivelse - Hotellet ligger tilbagetrukket i smukke omgivelser med udsigt til bjergene og vandet/bugtene, og olivenlund. Vi havde en dejlig balkon med udsigt til bjergene og vandet. Hotellet har en hyggelig og familiær atmosfære og der er stor hjælpsomhed af brødrene der driver hotellet. Personalets venlighed er også i top og rengøringen ligeså. Morgenmaden er glimrende og alsidig. Hotellet har vores største anbefaling.
• Zoe (10/5): Holiday wi tbh friends - Fantastic hotel with a great location.
• Isabella (10/5): - Lovely staff and good location
• Esmeralda (10/5): - Nice family owned hotel. The two brothers working at the front desk were so kind and friendly. They helped us arrange our COVID-19 tests prior to our departure. The breakfast was excellent and the grounds were beautiful and well kept.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - La chambre avec vue sur la mer. Spacieuse, balcon, la propreté irréprochable. La piscine agreable et le personnel disponible et sympatique. Hotel accueillant. Il faudrait améliorer la wifi car coupe régulièrement. Et peut être un petit point négatif : manque d intimité sur le balcon. A part ca tout etait parfait .
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It's a somewhat older property, but very well maintained, and the management is helpful and friendly. Buffet breakfast can be purchased at the hotel for 6 euro per person per day if taken for the whole of your stay, or 8 euro per person per day if used occasionally. The buffet is modest but reasonable for the cost. On-site parking must be reserved by contacting the Folia management directly after you make your booking on Expedia. The pathway to the parking spaces is quite tight, and requires expertise in maneuvering. About four additional spaces (usually occupied) are available on the small street directly outside the hotel. Parking is easy and abundant on the cross street 50 meters below the hotel (Ioannis Kapodistrias). It's a 200m walk to the main street of Agia Marina where frequent buses run to central Chania, and also to the Alexandra supermarket. The beach is another 150m beyond that. Overall, it's a great value and we had an excellent stay -- buffet breakfast, quick swim at the hotel, drive all over western Crete in a rented car, with seafood dinner in some small town, and back for a quick swim in the evening.
• Noemie (10/5): - Très bel hôtel Personnel aimable, agréable, souriant Toujours près à rendre service Bien placé
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Tout était parfait, personnel génial, appartements propres, cadre idyllique loin des nuisances des trafics routiers et piétons. À moins de 10 minutes à pied de la plage, ambiance familiale, à proximité de tout, je ne regrette pas mon choix
• Gabriel (10/5): Fantastisk hotel med fantastisk vertskap. - Fantastisk hotel med meget hyggelig vertskap og meget bra renhold,og god restaurant.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Zeer vriendelijk personeel, erg schoon en netjes. Goed ontbijt. Wij vonden wel de ligging vrij stijl en veel trappen. Een lift zou niet overbodig zijn. Verder uitstekend!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The stay with folia apartments was superb ,cleaned everyday , lots of space, bed very comfortable and bathroom came with an excellent shower. The whole hotel was surrounded by a well cared for garden and the staff and managent made you feel at home they was so friendly and made sure you had a wonderful time. Food also delicious .Thanks for everything .
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Apartamentos algo rústicos, muy satisfecha. Cans grande, venían cada mañana a hacer la habitación, lavabo algo estrecho. Con su cocina para poder hacer algún desayuno. La piscina está bien, pero ocupada de gente que dejaba la toalla en la hamaca y por la tarde no daba el sol. Alejados del bullicio
• Erik (10/5): Hotel Folia, Agia Marina, Kreta. - It was very very good.
• Aikaterini (10/5): - That's just great. I recommend it to everyone. The staff is very friendly, we did not miss anything. We felt very comfortable. I will gladly visit this hotel again as I have put it on my favorites list.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked the breakfast that was available, very varied choice and selection. Also the staff and management greeted the guests throughout the day. The overall decor and the picturesque apperance. Very well maintained, with beautifull plants and trees. A very well architected building.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful hotel. Spotlessly clean. Staff welcoming, friendly, nothing too much trouble - truly lovely people. Breakfast wonderful, great selection. Restaurant food outstanding. Beach, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, bus & taxi all within walking distance. Perfect holiday.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Idéal en famille avec ados - Ravis de ce séjour (10j) ds cet appart'hôtel. Chaleureusement reçu par les propriétaires, ns avions une chambre spacieuse pr 4 (balcon vue mer). Climatisation et kitchenette avec frigo. Ménage ts les jours. Situé à 10 min à pied du petit centre ville animé et des plages, l'hôtel en haut d'une est ptite côte très calme. Pleins de restaurants accessibles à pied le soir. Ne pas hésitez à diner au restaurant de l'hôtel qui est délicieux! Localisation à 2h de voiture d'Heraklion, 1h de Réthymnon. Pleins d'activités nautiques en bord de mer. Mention spéciale à tout le personnel de l'hôtel : souriant, présent et attentionné. Une vraie bonne expérience dans un hôtel à taille humaine.
• Elena (10/5): - Our family stayed in Folia for a week, and enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel was spotless clean, the stuff was helpful ( the a/c unit that wasn't working was replaced within hours), and the food in the restaurant was great. The hotel is situated close enough to the beach, but uphill, and it took us a couple of days to get used to it. Overall, our stay was very pleasant.
• Jane/Yasmine (10/5): - The hotel was amazing. Extremely comfortable beds, very clean (sheets and towels changed at least every 2 days). Modern bathroom, constant supply of hot water and the free air conditioning was effective and quiet. Fantastic pool and sun-bed area, good food and a Bar that serves the best cocktails! Most of all the people who run it are lovely and do everything they can to make your holiday the best. Can’t fault it. Highly recommended!! We will definitely go back.
• Lene (10/5): Kommer helt sikkert tilbage til Folia hotel igen.. - Flot, hyggeligt velholdt hotel - meget søde, hjælpsomme og venligt personale. Er helt sikkert en besøg vær, og ikke sidste gang vi skal bo på Folia hotel.... :0)
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The rooms are very clean and tidy with modern bathrooms and double beds are 'real' queen size and not two singles pushed together like so many other resorts in Crete. Generally the hotel too was lovely with beautiful gardens and pool area. Owners and staff were always there to help and greeting with a smile! We loved the place!
• Siri (10/5): - Stedet har en fantastisk gresk atmosfære og en vennlighet blant personale som gir oppholdet en nydelig ramme. Rommene holder en fin standard med spesielt gode senger og dyner/puter. Kan anbefales for familier/par som ønsker et rolig hotell I nydelige greske omgivelser.
• Hege (10/5): Vennlig atmosfære og forseggjort hotell - Et flott hotell med vennlig stemning. Man føler seg velkommen. Rent og pent i 2 romsleiligheten, og strøkent på alle uteområder på hotellet. Skikkelige dyner og myke senger var deilig!! Fint, rent, lite basseng, men ikke et basseng man kan leke med ballkasting/hoppe fra kanten fra. Mulighet for dusj (etter utsjekk) i fin liten dusj-garderobe. Flott balkong under tak til frokost/middag. Flott utsikt ned mot sjøen og nærområdet. Bra frokost, utvalg i brød og rundstykker, men ønskelig med mulighet for å få bacon hver dag. Litt bratt, men kun 5 minutter fra hovedveien når vi gikk raskeste vei opp fra stranden. Anbefales.
• Pål Christian Smestad (10/5): Folia - en flott hotellopplevelse - Hotellet er et fredelig og rolig sted, beliggende litt vekk fra hovedgatens travelhet, men allikevel nært nok til at du kun er noen få minutters gange unna alt du trenger av butikker, tavernaer og ikke minst en flott strand. Flott service fra hyggelige eiere og ansatte! Utmerket daglig renhold av rommene. Rommene utmerker seg med fantastisk gode senger, uten tvil de beste vi har opplevd på våre utallige reiser til Kreta. Det samme gjelder badet, med en dusj som fungerer flott (noe som ikke er dagligdags på greske hotell). Vi hadde i det hele tatt en meget fin hotellopplevelse, og nøler ikke med å reise tilbake!! Om noe negativt skal sies, så er basseng/bassengområde ikke av de største, og egner seg derfor ikke til aktive badeleker for de yngre.
• Lene (10/5): Et veldig hyggelig opphold - Et lite og veldig trivelig hotell. Gode senger og veldig bra dusj på badet. Litt lite basseng så passer nok best for voksne og familier med store barn. Anbefales
• Athanasios (10/5): Highly Recommended - Best experience ever, service 10/10, well done to all keep up the good work
• John (10/5): - Brilliant staff
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Firstly the staff whether the cleaning lady, bar expert, waiter, the front desk manager or the restaurant organiser, they worked as a team and gave excellent service.All had great personalities and strived to ensure that your stay was as good as they could achieve. Well done to you all.
• Mélissa (8/5): Bon hôtel - Je suis venu au mois de mai avec mon conjoint j'ai payer dans les 30€ la nuit, la chambre est basic mais grande avec une baignoire, balcon, coiffeuse pour se maquiller. Le seul point négatif c'était l'odeur dans la chambre qui était permanente comme une odeur d'urine c'était vraiment gênant. Je pense que c'est a cause du sol en pierre les femmes de ménage ne doivent pas passer la serpillère car on avait les pieds sales dès l'arrivée. A par cela je recommande cet hôtel pour le rapport qualité-prix. Attention il y a une monté pour arriver a l'hôtel rien de dur mais pour les personnes âgées c'est compliqué. La plage est a 10 min à pieds, jolie plage mais le mieux est de louer une voiture est de visiter les environs ce que nous avons fait, en quatre jours je recommande d'aller au centre ville de Chania(20min en voiture),la plage de Balos(1h en voiture),la plage de Stalos(5 min en voiture). Cela suffit puis d'aller après du côté d'Elafonisi et prendre un autre hôtels pour visiter cette partie de l'île. I came in May with my spouse I paid in the 30€ per night, the room is basic but large with a bathtub, balcony, hairdresser to make up. The only negative point was the smell in the room that was permanent like a urine smell it was really embarrassing. I think it’s because of the stone floor that housekeepers don’t have to mop 'cause we had dirty feet the minute we got there. By this I recommend this hotel for value for money. Careful there is a climb to get to the hotel n
• Bertrand (10/5): A ne rater sous aucun prétexte. Un bijou. - Tout est parfait. L'accueil, la convivialité, la disponibilité, la chambre avec vue sur la mer, la localisation qui permet de retrouver du calme en fin de journée tout en étant proche du monde et des plages. La propreté de cet hôtel est exemplaire. Bravo et merci à tout le personnel si gentil et compétent. Nous avons passé 6 jours très agréables.
• Peter (10/5): Fantastic! - Fantastic!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Viihtyisä hotelli! - Kaunis ja hyvin hoidettu hotelli rauhallisella sijainnilla, sopivan kävelymatkan päässä rannasta ja kaupoista. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja huomaavasta ja herkullinen sekä monipuolinen aamupala.
• Phil (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff, room found and kept spotlessly clean, lovely pool and bar area, easy walk to the beach and to a number of excellent tavernas. Would not hesitate to recommend!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Another lovely stay - We returned to Folia this year as we were so impressed with the hotel and staff last year. No regrets.
• Federica (10/5): - albergo molto bello e caratteristico, vista panoramica, posizione comoda a ristoranti e supermarket. consigliato.
• Lars (10/5): Schönes Hotel in ruhiger Lage - Wir hatten hier eine sehr angenehme Woche. Das Zimmer einfach eingerichtet aber zweckmässig und sauber.
• Thierry (8/5): Très bon séjour - - nous avons été accueilli avec grand soin malgré un horaire tardif d’arrivée (1h30 du matin ) - très calme , jolie vue qu’en la mer depuis le balcon - chambre propre - bîen situé , facile de se garer à proximité , commerce , plage et bons restaurants accessibles facilement à pied Au total très content de cet hôtel
• Alealba (8/5): Aspettative ben riposte - Ottimamente posizionato a due passi dal centro del paese, comodo per raggiungere la National road. Personale molto cordiale, stanza spaziosa e pulita. Possibilità di parcheggio, unica piccola pecca il letto matrimoniale molto corto e con un materasso troppo alto. Sistemazione che mi sento caldamente di consigliare
• Nathalie (8/5): Bonne adresse - Personnel accueillant, serviable. Hôtel propre, bien entretenu, chambre avec petite salle d'eau mais fonctionnelle.
• Walti (10/5): - Super freundliches Personal. Super Frühstückbuffet.Super Restaurant. in 10 min zum Riesenstrand.
• Stefano (10/5): Wonderful - The location is enchanting and super-cozy. The staff is nice and attentive to the needs of its customers (my girlfriend had even gluten-free bread for breakfast, which is not at all granted in Greece). The room was nice, clean and functional, with a beautiful view over the sea. All the defects we found were negligible, at least in our opinion. Definitely a great place to stay!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Strategic Position - Good experience overall. Not impressed, but strategic position for visiting Chania Area and very well maintained structure.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean. Comfortable. And amazing hosts.
• Dudley (10/5): Lovely and quiet very well built and maintained - A few minutes walk to the sandy beach and local amenities
• Verified traveler (10/5): GREAT HOTEL - Great hotel. Great friendly helpful staff. Close to the beach and everything else. Great breakfast everyday. Very clean
• colin (10/5): Fantastic location 5 minutes from the beach perfec - Hotel staff were fantastic they made you fill part of the family.Hotel was absolutely immaculate in every department a family run hotel that they truly care about.Had a lovely time
• Rhonda (10/5): Superb stay! - Fantastic accommodation with wonderful hosts. The family run apartments had everything you needed and the family were always on hand to help you with anything you required. I asked for a twin room for my father and I and was given a very large room with a king size bed and a single bed in different sides of the room. Just perfect!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice hotel with friendly staff, near to the beach h although it's quite a steep hill, lots of restaurants nearby but not many bars or clubs as such, a few little shops near by aswell. Room was kept very nice and clean and was decorated nicely, plenty of space and nice bathroom only issue really was the cooking facilities aren't great for self catering the hob takes a very long time to heat up and that all you have to cook with and the utensils and pots are very limited but it is typical of accommodation in Greece. The pool is well kept and clean with nice views and next to the bar and restaurant so access to food and drinks while down there as you may not consume your own by the pool except water. Always helpful staff we were able to park there free of charge and there is free WiFi and air conditioning.
• Dolly & Vik (10/5): - Amazing staff. They really make you feel like family. The rooms are clean and very comfortable! Very close to everything. We will definitely stay here again.
• David (10/5): Excellent in all respects - We stayed at Folia Apartments for ten days and it lived up to its excellent reviews. Very clean, very friendly and helpful staff and in a quiet but convenient location. The bed was extremely comfortable. Loads of hot water all day. Our thanks go to all those concerned for a lovely vacation.
• Andy & Jen (10/5): - A wonderful family run hotel in a relaxing spot close to the beach and restaurants in Agia Marina. The room was clean and spacious with a great view. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent, especially if you like authentic Greek dishes. Highly recommended!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely quiet hotel with friendly staff and a convenient location. Would certainly recommend
• Phil (10/5): Very nice hotel, friendly staff, very good food. - We stayed for a week for our summer holiday and it has been amazing, the hotel is only a short walk from the beach, but far enough away to not be at a main road. Its only a max 15min drive to Chania, which is great for sight seeing shopping etc. The people were super nice an helpful booking excursions for us like visiting Samarian Gorge. Oveall an amazing holiday!
• Paul (10/5): Fantastic Folia - Excellent family-run hotel. All of the staff were really friendly and went out of their way to welcome us and make our stay enjoyable. Good restaurant on site, with helpful waiters giving advice. Several others within a few minutes walk (but beware that there are some steep, albeit short, hills if mobility is an issue). TV had only a couple of English stations (surprisingly from Russia and France), but who cares on holiday when there is good internet as an alternative? Kitchen area has fridge, two-burner stove, kettle and coffee maker. Microwave would have been nice, plus a tea towel and some washing-up kit too! Would gladly visit gain for longer.
• Dee (8/5): Nice hotel with lovely view - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Floor got a bit dusty. Bathroom was small, however the room was very spacious.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice hotel - Very nice hotel with very helpful staff best place we have stayed in Crete .only downside is there's a bit of hill to climb but we did not find it a problem
• Rachel (10/5): Brilliant stay- would recommend highly! - This is a brilliant place to stay! Rooms all lovely, spacious enough with fridges and hair dryers and anything else you could need for your stay. The rooms were cleaned daily, close to the beach, local restaurants of which there are many and most importantly, very friendly owners and staff. Always greeting you and waving you goodbye as you left for the day. Nothing was too much trouble- even on the last day when we had checked out and I became ill, they kindly gave me a room to lie down in until I felt better enough to leave for the airport. This was a god send! Couldn't recommend this place enough!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Overalk nice, but not what we expected - Overall nice hotel, but pictures of the building and pool did tho represent the reality. It was much smaller then it looked like and no toilet next to the pool. With kids made it difficult as we had to keep going back to the room. The balcony only fits 2 people, with family you cannot enjoy a meal in the room. Also it was in 2 levels, which makes it again difficult with kids, as they won't sleep as far from the parents in a strange place and during the night it's hard to get them down the stairs to toilet. It's a nice place for adults, as pool bar service is good, and staff is nice, but we were disappointed in the facilities and we won't go back with kids.
• Maggie (10/5): Fab hotel with great views and superb facilities. - We had Room 28 which had a balcony with great views. The hotel noted our request for 3 rooms next to each other so as a family (gran, couple with child and Aunty) we could breakfast together on the balconies! The rooms were large and clean with kitchen facilities which suited us as a family.Lovely blue pool was a good size and plenty of sun beds with the outside bar made it very accessible. The staff could not do enough for us and were also charming and friendly. We ate in the hotel a few times and all food was freshly made and wholesome and delicious. On check out we were given the facility to store bags and use showers before departure in the evening. We would certainly recommend this lovely hotel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 5-Minute Walk to Beach - In some reviews, people complain about walking up hill from the beach. Yes, there is a hill, but it is NOT bad. There a beautiful views from the hotel, the staff is incredible and price is great. I would highly recommend this place if you are the the type of person to explore on vacation. If you are the type who wants to hangout by the pool or beach and do nothing, Folia could get a little boring, since it is 5 minutes from town. Since I am in the former group, I would 100% stay at Folia again.
• Helen (10/5): A great place to stay! - We had a wonderful holiday at Folia apartments, the owners were brilliant, the food was delicious, the apartments were clean, the view from our balcony was beautiful, the pool was lovely and the apartments were in a quiet area, but still just 5 minutes from the beach and the main street with loads of shops including a large supermarket. My only 'even better if', would be for the kitchenette to be a bit better equipped, as there was only 1 saucepan and 1 frying pan, no colander, and no toaster. Small things, but if you like toast for breakfast, quite important!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect Hotel to discover Crete - We thoroughly enjoyed our 14 night stay at the Folia Hotel. We were welcomed on our arrival by the owners and assisted with our luggage to our room. First impressions were of how clean and well maintained the hotel was, our room a Studio sea view was spacious and all the appliances were new and worked. The bed was comfortable and large and from our balcony we saw olive trees , mountains and the sea. The hotel is up a slight hill , but this allows it to be just off the main stream of traffic ,which then makes it so peaceful and relaxing. All staff were friendly and helpful, and it was no trouble to them organising a trip to Samaria Gorge. We ate 4 times in the restaurant and every time the food was excellent, this would have been more ,but for the fact of many excellent restaurants near by. I cannot fault this hotel or Agia Marina which had everything for a perfect holiday. We will definitely be back. Nigel + Debs
• J Owen (10/5): Agia Marina's best - Splendid hospitality by fully-engaged management team and staff. Spotlessly maintained property with modest pool, good food, comfortable accommodation. Challenging access to covered car parking. Less than 10minutes from really great beach. Good public transport to Chania and throughout island.
• Lesley (8/5): Beautiful view - Quietly located on the edge of most restaurants and bars etc so a little walk to reach them - however there are a couple within easy reach. Of course the hotel has its own excellent restaurant & bar as well. Could not fault our room except for us the bed mattresses were a bit too hard. Also the pillows. The furnishings in the kitchenette are a bit dated but perfectly serviceable. No toaster so you have to go down to breakfast at the hotel for that. The maid was so discreet we never saw her but she kept our room immaculate. Altogether a great holiday as Folia is near the beach & you can walk right along it forever.
• Liam (10/5): Great Hotel with Great Staff - Booked a short trip to Crete, following reviews we stayed at the Folia, staff were fantastic, pool area was nice. Easy access to Chania, the beach and all day trips you'll need. Staff were willing to arrange any and all things for you. Definately recommend.
• David (10/5): - Overall this is was an excellent stay with customer service really key to the charm of Folia Apartment with the family run ethos really showing. I would recommend this hotel again and would be happy to stay there in the future. Only gripe was the room had a shower with a shower curtain which was not ideal.
• jo (10/5): Lovely apartments in good location - Family run Wonderful clean apartments. Good location 5/10 minute walk to beach and shops, bars etc.
• Maria (10/5): A perfect hotel for Agia Marina - The stay in this hotel was one of the most pleasant surprises during my short trip to Agia Marina, Chania. Super friendly and accommodating staff and owners, took the time to personally meet with each guest and make sure you were always pleased.Clean rooms, good food and good raki!
• Christina (6/5): No attention to detail - The stay at this hotel was less than satisfactory. I booked and paid more for a sea view room. I was not given a sea view room. When I alerted the staff, he was friendly and gave me a free drink. There was no mention of a refund of the difference. On the day of checkout, I had an early flight and needed to check out at 7. There was no one around to help! The one staff member looked at me like I was crazy and very rudely said the front desk opens at 8. Most of the staff was very friendly and the property is in a wonderful location, but it is run down.
• sarine (10/5): It was very enjoyable our stay at folia hotel - We stayed in folia 6 nights ..its close to beach by walking like 5 minutes.. bus station very close as well and all around restaurants and tavernas.. stuff was very friendly..d good thing is its family buisiniss and we felt family member as welll.. so definately if i will go crete again i will book folia hotel without any hesitation.. thank u to all folia family members...
• Steve (10/5): Superb! - Incredible value for money. The staff were extremely helpful and always freindly. The food was delicious, I really couldn't recommend this hotel enough! Fantastic!
• Anne-Marie (8/5): Fab, friendly hotel - Lovely hotel ran by a very welcoming, helpful and friendly family. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Plentiful breakfast and lovely food in the restaurant (even for a veggie like myself). About a 5/10 min walk downhill to the main strip and beach. Lots of lovely restaurants nearby. An excellent value for money place to stay. Would definitely stay again.
• Simon (10/5): Great value friendly family run hotel - From the moment we arrived at this friendly, family run hotel we felt welcome. The rooms aren't massive but were very clean, well kept and had all the facilities we needed for the stay. The hotel is located up the hill from the main resort area and beach which means it's a quieter location and the views from the room were great. For the price we paid, I could not fault our stay!
• Simon (10/5): Perfect from start to finish! - The staff are a credit to this hotel. Brothers Giannis and Nikos who run the hote Were brilliant. Extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality and humour was much appreciated! They even booked us 2 excursions which were great (and reasonably priced) as well as assisting with transfers. The cleaning staff through to the bar/resuturant staff were also amazing, especially Akis the barman who made great cocktails and made all of the guests feel very welcome with his hilarious jokes. We had a Seaview studio which was spotlessly clean and well equipped...the view from the balcony topped it off though...spectacular sunset and sunrises! The food in the resturant was great and amazingly priced, we also had a continental breakfast included in the price of our room which had a good variety of food and was good value for money. All in all Folia is a brilliant family run hotel with a true essence of Cretan culture radiating through their hospitality...we will definately be returning and recommending to our friends!
• Verified traveler (10/5): the place to stay for a real Cretan atmosphere - enjoyed our stay with this lovely family run business, the two brothers are very friendly and make sure every guest has a great holiday. They are very helpful and they mingle with the guests, making it easy for residents to get to know each other, the pool and bar areas are small, therefore, you get a very friendly atmosphere that you wouldn't get in a large hotel.
• Indur (10/5): Friendly family like hotel - Had a wonderful 2 weeks stay at Folia- Owners and staff go out of their way to make your stay comfortable Would highly recommend
• Karen (10/5): Great apartments! - This hotel is well deserving of it's high rating. The staff are friendly, the restaurant food is very good and the place is spotlessly clean. The beach is a very short walk away and the surrounding facilities are excellent, with plenty of choice for eating/drinking. Totally recommended!
• William (10/5): Good value for quiet clean hotel - Staff friendly and welcoming. Room clean with nice balcony view of sea and some olive trees below. Higher up on hill away from main road, so quiet. Could hear roosters crowing at sunrise. Bathtub and shower. TV very small and only Greek stations. Breakfast buffet plentiful and pleasant eat poolside. Only complaint is that our backs were not used to the rock hard Greek beds. We wound up buying a couple of air mattresses (8€ each) at the market nearby to sleep on. Also housekeeping staff were loud in the hallways each day, loudly talking and laughing. Beautiful landscape on the grounds.
• Charlotte (10/5): A great place for a relaxing holiday - The apartments are located within easy walking distance of the bus stop and close to shops and restaurants. The hotel also has a restaurant but I did not eat there so can't comment on it. The hotel is well run and has a great swimming pool. The rooms have balconies and have nice views. The rooms are quiet at night. You can hear the music from the resort hotels in the distance. Makes one very happy not to be staying there and rather be staying at a great apartment hotel.
• Peter and Anne (10/5): Friendly resort, superbly run. - We have just returned from a week's stay at the Folia apartments and I can only say what a pleasant experience it was. The staff are very professional and caring. The apartment was spotless and was cleaned regularly: they even did the washing up for us when we forgot to do it. It is your choice whether to eat in or out but the view from the balcony of the seaview rooms is spectacular and well worth enjoying in the morning for a leisurely breakfast. The two brothers that run the establishment are very helpful and allowed us to store our baggage and have a shower before we left for our evening flight. Altogether a great experience. I would recommend you visit.
• Olly (10/5): Very comfortable stay! - Stayed here for 5 nights and had a very enjoyable stay. Hotel staff were very polite and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, I was surprised at the amazingly high quality of the room for such low prices. Some of the most amazing hospitality I've experienced. We ate in the hotel restaurant twice, very good prices and excellent food. We were made to feel like royalty. And it's only a 3 minute walk to the shops. Would recommend this place to anyone.
• jools (8/5): Very relaxing - Really lovely family. Very clean and relaxing. Staff helpful and guided well on where to go and visit Really lovely place to be good restaurants and beaches. Hotel restaurant could be lovely. Food good service good and fab location. Quite empty most nights which was a shame as staff tried so hard, but some lovely places to eat nearby so some tough competition. May benefit from more extensive menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
• James (10/5): Couldn't ask for more - Great hotel, really clean and perfect location. The food was great and the staff were really friendly with great service all round. Really nice pool area as well. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
• Petr Stransky (10/5): Excellent stay in Agia Marina - "Folia Apartments" is pleasant hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Rooms are spotless, excellent Wi-Fi everywhere. Restaurant has good choice of local meals, well prepared. It sits few hundred meters uphill above the main street, which makes a walking to it in the noon heat little "sweaty", but you get, for the same reason, much better ocean view and quiet.
• Wellness Bish (10/5): Great stay with freindly family local welcome - Recently stayed here on business and had a greta stay. The owners deliver a great family welcome and Adriana at the bar is a great hostess. Good food made it easy for business stay as I did not have to venture out to find quality food. I would recommend this venue especially as very low budget but delivers hospitality and local feel in abundanceoften lost in more expensive bigger hotels. Try it an enjoy yourself :-)
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic Folia - We stayed a for week at the Folia and enjoyed it very much. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean and the facilities are first class. There is an onsite restaurant with fabulous traditional food even vegetarians were catered for with each meal a taste sensation.
• Claire (10/5): Great Hotel, Lovely, lovely staff - Couldn't have gone to a better place for a break. Hotel, weather and people all absolutely fantastic. Beaches were lovely and clean, restaurants and bars were very hospitable with lovely food and a very substantial range of cocktails!
• Zarko (10/5): Good position, not far from the sea (5min.by foot) - Good position and not far from the sea (5 minutes by foot) over a street, very friendly hotel, and nice for relaxing. The hotel with apartments is calm and is close to the town. We got a nice apartment with mountain view and from our balcony we can see also the sea and Chania harbor. Rooms are nice, very clan, not big but enough for a couple (also possible for three) with a nice bathroom. The staff Giannis and Nikos are really very helpful and considered all our wishes . They recomended us nice trips by car to the west and south part of Creta – for us it is the best part of the island although we saw in several times the whole island. The position of this hotel is good location for exploring the west part of the island. The food in the hotel's restaurant was great and staff in restaurant is very kind. We would definitely come back to this hotel, it's really good value for money.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly family run hotel with 1st class service - The owners gave a warm welcome on arrival and could not do enough for us. The hotel restaurant provides good quality Cretan cuisine and the local Charmer beer which was very moorish! The location was a good base to explore western Crete with a reliable bus service to Chania. There is plenty to see and do from this location especially if you hire a car, or alternatively local beaches and the lovely hotel pool if you want to sit back and relax.
• AK (6/5): Close to the beach - Very poor equipment in the room. Room does not have even a shampoo /conditioner. Not enough space in the parking garage, we have a problem with parking every day. Friendly staff, very good pool area. Good hotel for people with low budget.
