Guest Reviews

• Isaiah (9/5): -
• carmel (9/5): - The room was very clean and comfortable with a fantastic view of the ocean. The pool was great and also had an amazing view very friendly staff.
• Nadine (10/5): Had a wonderful stay with the nicest staff and superb facilities. - Super clean, superbly maintained and central location There was nothing we did not like
• Yve (10/5): A perfect peaceful escape in beautiful surroundings with stunning views with super friendly staff. - We had the most wonderful stay at Hermes Sea View. The whole place was spotless, with real attention to cleanliness. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming - always with a smile. The apartment is set in beautiful surroundings with an amazing panoramic view of the sea. We loved relaxing quietly by the pool, tucked away from the bustle of the town yet it is still close enough to enjoy the beach and a great selection of restaurants. That said, after discovering Kri Kri restaurant on our second day, we pretty much made it our second home! Excellent traditional food, unbelievably friendly staff and beautiful beachfront setting. Nothing. Everything was perfectly wonderful. I will give a mention to the hill that you need to take from the Main Street to the apartment. It IS steep. Not a problem for us AT ALL but it could be quite challenging for anyone with mobility issues.
• Giannopoulos (10/5): -
• Enrico (10/5): - Posizione, vista, spazio stanza, comodità letto
• Renate (9/5): -
• Heather (9/5): Great base to explore the Chania area of Crete and beyond if you hire a car. - Clean and comfortable with a great view. Well equipped kitchenette. Really comfortable beds. Pool/beach towels provided. Water, coffee & tea provided on arrival. Air con very efficient. All staff exceedingly helpful and friendly. Up a pretty steep road.
• DELPHINE (10/5): - Very Nice apartment quiet with an incredible sea view. Very clean and confortable. Great swimming pool. Walking distance to the beach. And the bus Line just down the street. Friendly hosts.
• Ashleigh (10/5): A lovely holiday, wonderful accommodation with superb views, the only downside was the hill/steps up Hermes Sea View - Very clean Staff were very friendly and helpful Lovely pool area Very steep hill/steps up to the apartments
• Gabija (10/5): -
• Catrine (10/5): Anbefales varmt! - Fantastisk standard, elsker at vi hadde to soverom og god plass på rommet. Nydelig basseng og utsikt. Sentralt til alt. Fantastisk service! Ingenting
• Clement (10/5): - Un séjour exceptionnel c'était vraiment vraiment trop bien
• David (9/5): Excellent stay - Location, staff, views, pool, facilities in the room...just about everything really. If there was a pool bar or something similar I would have rated it at a 10. It would have been nice if it was made clear that breakfast is not available at the property as there is some conflicting information on booking.com about breakfast availability.
• Aryna (10/5): Love this place - Amazing place. We loved our stay here, felt very relaxing. The view, very welcoming and warm staff, beautiful room with great conditioning, fresh tasty breakfast, nice greenery on the hotels territory, parking spots. Everything was spot on, thank you :)

• agnes (10/5): Merci à toute l'équipe ! - Un ensemble appart'hôtel impécable, un accueil adorable et un petit déjeuner au top au bord.de.la piscine avec vue sur mer. Le logement pour 4 est top avec deux belles chambres, grande terrasse, salle de bain avec baignoire, cuisine suffisemment équipée et le tout climatisé biensur! A 5 minutes à pieds d'une longue plage, 20 minutes de Chania. Très bien situé. Nous reviendrons c'est sur!

• Roussalina (10/5): Beautiful property, exceeding our expectations in every way! - Breakfast outdoor with a stunning view of the sea, good variety of foods, having an almond milk option was a nice bonus for me personally! Breakfast lady was super nice and helpful! The property is very well maintained with a beautiful garden and a nice swimming pool, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The room was cleaned thoroughly and restocked every day with all necessities, coffee capsules, beach towels etc. (unlike most other hotels). Special thanks to Helen for making us feel very welcome and attending to every little detail or need of our stay!
• Pernilla (9/5): Superb - Everything was very good. Nice hotel and very Nice staff. The woman in the pool bar is very friendly and always does her best to make you happy!

• Jaspreet (7/5): Good -

• Éva (9/5): Amazing place with a stunning view at the sea! - Perfect location! The view was amazing! My son loved the pool! The rooms were cleaned every day. Breakfast was very delicious. The staff was also very helpful and welcoming!
• Kelly (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment and the view looked exactly like in the pictures - beautiful. The property is high enough to have a great view but also so close to the main road with a lovely beach and great restaurants in walking distance (approximately 3mins). The staff were so nice and went above and beyond to make our stay even better. We will definitely be back next time we are in Crete!
• Nurminen (9/5): Superb - The view was nice from breakfast area and from our 2 bedroom apartment. The staff is super nice. A litlle update to bathroom would be nice.
• Steven (9/5): Brilliant place to stay, close enough to the attractions, but far enough away not to be swamped - The staff were brilliant, friendly, genuine, not too intrusive- they all went above and beyond what was expected. Breakfast was extensive and really nice, the views were jaw dropping and the location perfect N/A
• Renaud (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrei (10/5): Beautiful, cozy and delicious - Wonderful sea view, amazing people and great service Nothing. Everything was great!
• Nilsen (10/5): Wonderful - Excellent sevce None
• Mark (9/5): This Hotel saved our vacation, what a fantastic find. - Breakfast was by the pool overlooking the sea and island, (what a view) it was fantastic and the staff where super friendly, Helen who was on the desk and met us when we arrived was absolutely great, we had a fruit platter in the room and she could not do enough for us. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel if you are looking for that cozy friendly feeling over splash pools and playgrounds. Would have been perfect if we had a sofa to sit on in the room, but the bed was comfy enough to sit and read.
• Michal (10/5): Fantastic experience. Phenomenal sea view and super friendly staff! 10/10 - A fantastic hotel and a solid 10/10 experience. The lady at the reception which I assume is the owner was super friendly. She even let us use the pool after we checked out (our flight was late at night). The view from the pool and the room was unbeatable. The hotel is on a hill so you can see all the area and the sea. Also the breakfast was really nice and the lady who worked in the bar in the mornings was super friendly and cheerful. We loved the experience Would definitely recommend staying here. Nothing
• Marie (9/5): A great little hotel - Very nice swimming pool and breakfast, super friendly staff. We had a room with a view on the sea and a big balcony, which was super cool. One thing I can think of is that there were maybe too few tables at the breakfast, considering there were not many in the shade
• Tyrone (10/5): Hermes offered everything we were looking for making our 12 day stay so relaxing and enjoyable. The staff couldn’t do e - Excellent location, very clean, well maintained, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Nothing
• Charalampos (7/5): Good - wifi in my room did not work for 2 days. little annoying. not horrible.
• Peter (10/5): We couldn’t fault our stay at the Hermes apartments. Everything was perfect. Great pool, fabulous apartment, amazing vie - The location was fantastic. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. The view spectacular. Nothing.
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, room was clean, staff very accommodating, view of the balcony was fantastic and location convenient.
• Ella4bella (7/5): Amazing view - Amazing view, great location, close to shops, restaurants and bus stop, beautiful garden with figs tree, pomegranate and grapes. Located on the hill, difficult to walk up.The breakfast didn't have too many options and if you are going late then you may not find anything, the bar by the pool closing at 4pm, room needs improvement.
• Jakub (8/5): Very good - Amazing location with the seaview. The staff is very nice. Nice breakfasts. Very clean place. The kitchen equipment is poor, if you want to cook something more than pasta.
• Nadya (10/5): hospitality, great location - very friendly staff, great hospitality. we arrive early in the morning before the check in and the owners support us with everything.very nice view to the beach,very clean,comfortable beds.great location and great service.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Location is great, view from balcony was excellent, size of balcony was great , you could enjoy your meal and admire the view. Room was cleaned every day and clean towels were supplied. Hosts were very nice, friendly and helpful in every way. I liked everything, my husband sad it would be nice to have a tv in the room.
• Elisa (9/5): Superb - Location was wonderful and hotel area was very clean. Staff was super friendly :) The bed wasn't that comfortable.
• Dušan (9/5): Great place to stay near Chania - Good location for frequent travel to city of Chania and the most popular beaches in west Crete. Location is also with close proximity to the various shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Good wifi and parking spots near the accommodation, although only 5-6 parking spots, but possible to park in nearby streets for free. Nice pool and amazing view over the bay. Stuff was friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom was clean and spacious, but some bathroom renovation in the future would make it perfect. Nothing special, maybe breakfast can be a little bit earlier (it is from 8:30) for the people who want to go to Elafonisi or Balos beaches.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Perfect in every way - Everything, breakfast was excellent, location perfect, bed very comfortable, view stunning Nothing
• Anthi (10/5): Relaxing - Maria, Ermis, Veneta, Galini, Litsa and all the other personnel of Hermes make the facility exceptional. Located up in a hill at Kato Stalos facing a little island, amongst olive trees, colourful flowers and local aromatic herbs set the ideal scenery for a relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breathtaking and the property is built in such a way that all rooms face the beach gifting its guests with beautiful colours of the dawn and sunset every day. The owners, Maria and Ermis run the business themselves making sure to meet every expectation of each client; lending us an umbrella for the beach and un adaptor for our cell phone amongst others, they personally greet the guests and they are the ones taking care of the pool cleaning which is done every evening by Ermis. The pool area is child friendly having a shallow pool for kids and all kind of inflatable mattresses. The breakfast is set by the pool and it’s plentiful and meets every taste, salty and sweet with a vast choice of egg dishes, fresh fruits, cheese, bread prepared by Veneta who politely mingles with the guests greeting them every morning or Litsa, who both with their professionalism make the breakfast time more enjoyable. Note that the WI-FI is present in every area of the property, inside the rooms and outside by the pool. All kind of restaurants are found just a few steps from the hotel and should you need to go to Chania town then the bus station is just down the hill. I haven’t regretted booking Hermes apartments for our holiday, after a long research on booking, and when I visit Chania again it will be my first choice. Thank you all Hermes team! Before booking Hermes apartments I did what every guest does. I read the bad reviews. Most of them inexcusable, some of them based on the location of the property. It’s true that there are two Hermes properties, one is the Hermes Beach located exactly on the beach, and the other one is the property I’ve chosen, that has the pool. It’s very easy to distinguish which is which on booking.com and you choose according to your needs. You want beach, you choose Hermes Beach. You prefer the pool, you choose Hermes apartments. Easy. Some of the previous guests were complaining about the distance from the Hermes apartments to the beach while in reality you need to go down a small hill and cross the road. Or some were complaining about the mattress which was hard. And it’s not fair. Choices and preferences are always subjective and if some expectations cannot be amended then you see the positive side of it. The bathroom was on the small side but the room was spacious so this makes up for the size of the bathroom.
• John (10/5): Wonderful hotel, great people, beautiful view and a terrific breakfast. - We made a last minute reservation (9:30pm) and arrived about 10 minutes later. The host and his wife greeted us and the wife went to makeup our room. The husband helped us with our bags and we got settled in quickly. The room was great. They also said that they would extend our check out time. I’m the morning we went outside to their patio area overlooking the sea and next to their very large pool. The free breakfast was great and we enjoyed the morning. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone looking for a great accommodation at a reasonable price. Thank you John Higgins USA. Everything was first class.
• Athanassios (9/5): Superb -
• Lucia (8/5): Very nice view and location -
• Abby (10/5): Exceptional -
• Manese (10/5): Such an amazing place and we felt so good here - the staff is amazing, the rooms spacious and super clean. Pool really good and the view from the location really nice
• Mihaela (10/5): It was a perfect vacation , - Everything was just perfect, the hotel, the garden , the food and the most of all , the sunset.Magnificent view over the sea .Every day we eated fresh figs from the garden and picked lemons and limes for limonade.The staff were nice and cleaning was done daily.In a word, if we will come to Crete again, this hotel would be our first choice. I highly recommend it! Our stay was too short!Everything was as just as we expected.I have nothing to comment on
• Rasmus (10/5): Super great!! - Hermes Apartments was the GREATEST! Excellent breakfast, the apartment, pool, garden and surroundings very nice and clean, super friendly staff, fantastic view... We were VERY happy with everything!
• Taja (10/5): Stunning view, warm staff and nice pool. - The pool is very nice. We also liked the view from the apartment. The amount of work and passion host put in this place is exceptional. The WiFi was working bad in our apartment sometimes not at all. Maybe because the apartment was the furthest from the reception where the WiFi router is. Everywhere else on the property the WiFi was working well.
• Theoharis (10/5): Exceptional -
• anna (10/5): - Beautiful place, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, 5 minutes walk to the beach. I highly recommend this place!!!
• Nick and Mel (8/5): Great location - 5 min walk from beach. 15 min drive to town. Great staff at the hotel. Rooms large and very clean.
• Stuart (8/5): Weeks stay in July 2016 - The hotel is well located with magnificent views of the sea. The pool is clean and well maintained, there is also a garden area overlooking the sea. The family who run it and the staff are friendly and helpful. They work hard to provide a relaxing place to stay, and the guests I asked were happy with the level of service provided. The room facilities are basic, but clean with air conditioning provided. The internet connection was excellent and overall I think it is a good location to stay for those who want quick access to the beach (a short stroll) and also a good selection of restaurants. However, it is not the quietest of places, with live music being performed at one of the clubs down the hill on a number of nights I stayed until late. Also beware of non inclusive breakfast, as this caught me out. There are many places to rent cars and bikes, along with a good bus service. So, all in all, a good base to explore Western Crete.
