3 star hotels in Agios Nikolaos

1. Staff pleasant and helpful 2. Restaurant, bar & reception was modern & clean. 3. 2 minute to beach and close to restaurants, bars, cafes & shops. 4. Beds were comfortable & clean. 1. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room. 2. Room was booked as a standard double room but it was a twin room. 3. Room was very dated and needs some updating. 4. No storage for toiletries etc in the bathroom. ...

This is an excellent 3* hotel with a very relaxed atmosphere. The bedding towels changed everyday. The rooms are perfect ,clean and Greek. The food was very good and something for everyone. The location couldn't be any better, 1 min marina beach and excellent walks around the peninsula from Marina to the port and lake this way is a flat surface to walk it. The hotel staff are one big family and brilliant...

As previous reviews have stated, there are many more positives than negatives with this hotel. First the negatives, the single room I was in was clean, but in need of a general update; there was also a safety issue where the gap between the end of the bed and the wall where the TV was fixed, was so narrow that you had to crane your neck to avoid a collision. Onto the positives. The hotel is a city...

Pool was dirty with old sun tan oil - very orange and greasy above water line, plus black mould on the grout lines - yuk! Complained to pool manager, who shrugged his shoulders, said it was cleaned at 7am! Pointed this out to night manager who promptly passed to hotel manager. Pool partially cleaned next morning but mould still on grout of pool tiles. Hence we never used the pool! Otherwise lovely...

Receptionist went well beyond what was required of her to correct a booking error. If the hotel manager reads this, the lady in question, I did not get her name, deserves promotion. Hotel facilities are at least the standard of a good 4 star hotel

Here's my honest review. The location is fantastic. A couple of lovely beaches in walking distance and in easy walking distance to countless bars,restauranrs and shops. Agios Nikolaos is a very laid back and chilled resort and the hotel has the same feel. The staff are fantastic, very friendly people and very accommodating. Special shout goes to Maria and Demetris who look after the bar, and Eleni...

We stayed here in May 1986, it was owned by a family of Dad, Mum and 2 Sons aged about 8 & 12, they treated us like family we had a great time, We hope they are still there 😃❤️😃

Stayed here while in town for a wedding. Absolutely perfect. Quiet area with cute, clean rooms. Breakfast every morning was amazing. Our travels to Crete were a bit rough and it was so refreshing to have a nice shower and meal once we got there The staff was INCREDIBLE and treated us so well. Definitely worth visiting again!!!

We were here at the end of September and it was just perfect. The room was great the position right next to the beach but especially the staff ! The people that work there are very nice welcoming and always ready to help! Mihalis is a great person! We stayed one week and we will definetely come back

Hotel is in a very nice location, nearby a beautiful beach. Unfortunately, the rooms are too small, feel crowded with 3 people in them. It's obvious that rooms were created for two people and they put an extra bed in them to make them triples. Also the shower is too small to be left open without a curtain. Last about the rooms, the balconies are too small, and had water sprayed on us from the AC units...

We reviewed this hotel 6 years ago and this is our fifth visit .. I shouldn’t have to say anything else really. This is of those rare establishments where they genuinely care whether you are having a good holiday. New management has definitely injected a new dynamic into a tried and tested formula. A lovely small hotel. Looked after by loyal staff who know their customers. Fabulous breakfast - eggs...

Ok, hotel for the price close to Agios Nikolaos. The rooms are somewhat small but have all the amenities. It's surrounded by nature, so if you go to your balcony, you can enjoy the calmness of it. There's a wonderful but rather cold beach right behind it, with a small river at the end of it. The pool is amazing, the breakfast is good but could have more options. Overall, I'd say it's worth it if you...

Generaly we enjoyed our stay in DuLac and Agios Nikolaos.We had a room on the lake side wich was simple, clean and nice with a incrediblle view with the only disadvantage being the bathroom wich was small, We felt that the price we paid was appropriate for the quality of the room. The reception lady was nice, kind and helpfull even though she said it was her 3rd or 4th week at the job, but her colleague...

I stayed 4 nights and it was my first time in Crete, enjoying the sights and also visiting family who had recently moved to the area. The room was very spacious with a large balcony and a side view of the lake. There is also a nice lounge and terrace overlooking the lake and the seafront is 2mns away. Price was very reasonable for late May. Will definitely book again for my next visit!

I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel, the room had a beautiful view looking out onto the lake, the bed was extremely comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. I found my whole stay very relaxing and will definitely stay here again when I come back to Agios Nikolaos

We were there for Easter Celebration. A perfect beautiful view to capture all the festivities of the Easter celebration. A quaint village with wonderful restaurants and pleasant people

I stayed here for 3 nights in a studio with a city view. Room was nice, clean and spacious with a kitchenette and ensuite bathroom. The hotel is literally next to the lake. I also had a balcony overlooking one of the main streets and I could see the lake from my balcony. I thought I booked a double bed as I was travelling alone, but I was given two twin beds but that didn't matter as I simply pushed...

A decent enough budget hotel. I only came for one night, so didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel. The room was a simple room - comfortable and clean and no problems. There's facility to make a tea or coffee, and a fridge and TV, and a small balcony. I didn't check the wifi so can't comment. The reception seemed friendly although a colleague (who speaks the language) did the actual checking in...

Just realized I never rated this! We stayed here for a week in June 2023 and I still think back to this as one of my most favorite stays ever! Stavros was more than outgoing to help us with navigating around the environment, and everything else, including bringing our laundry to a cleaner! Only things we didn't like were: 1. The loud road directly in cront of the balcony (though that also allowed us...

I found this very charming hotel by coincidence. Lucky me. Victoria Hotel is located a pleasant walk along the promenade from the center of Agios Nikolaos. A family driven place with such kindness. The pillow cover and the sheets are washed with such delicious fragrances, that really lifts the spirit. Everything is so clean and professional. I surely recommend Victoria Hotel and this small and beautiful...

Spotlessly clean, amazing view and the best location in AN run by the nicest people. Great new modern wet room shower - cannot find fault.

Very clean , smart, spacious modern room with amazing views over the bay. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful particularly with sorting available parking outside the hotel. Bottles of water on arrival and then wine and cake after a couple of days were a really nice touch. Location is good - short walk to the lake and main centre but also close to some very nice restaurants in the other direction

Me and my wife Alexandra spent wonderful ten days in this place. We still regret that we did not extend our stay for at least a few more days. Mrs. Victoria and Mr. Stavros are wonderful hosts and very kind, hardworking and generous people. They make you feel at home. Their efforts to please their guests are not servile but discreet and noticeable in every way. Rooms are clean, cozy and very well maintained...

Superb! Stayed ten nights. These people are wonderful!

I recently stayed at Casa Porto Boutique Hotel in Agios Nikolaos, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by how immaculately clean everything was, every corner of the hotel sparkled, and it felt so fresh and well maintained. The views were absolutely perfect, waking up every morning to the sea was a dream. The location couldn’t be better either, it...

Great comfort and hospitality Thank you for a wonderful stay in August. Service was top notch at all levels. Will definitely book again if we’re in town another time.

The hotel has a lovely bar with great service. From the minute I arrived they really took care of me - bar lady bringing me a drink upstairs as she noticed I was hot and bothered. Nice touch! Receptionist lent me a charger for my phone overnight. Other bar lady got me towel for the beach. Chamber maid got me more milk. Nothing was too much trouble at all. Highly recommend. Staff are an asset to the...

Casa Porto is a must. Having been travelling to Agios for over 30 years it was the perfect place to stay as a couple. We had a room with a balcony and sea view which was ideal to wake up to and also to have a coffee in the evening with the sunset before heading out into town. Location is ideal as you are within walking distance to all beaches, shops and restaurants. We opted to have breakfast included...

We stayed in this Hotel for two weeks, from the moment we arrived the staff could not be more helpful and kind. For me they make this Hotel what it is....a real gem! The hotel is stylish, clean, comfortable, the breakfast is amazing and real value for money. You couldn't get a better location, and the views are amazing. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making our holiday...

I wish I were able to enthuse about this hotel because it gets many things right but, unfortunately, it also lets itself down in other ways leaving me unable to rave about it. Out of the four hotels we stayed in during our two weeks in Crete, this was the one that had most excited me when we booked but it was actually the one that disappointed me in a number of ways. We were here for six nights and...

Do believe all the reviews - this hotel is just so so good! We booked a room on the top floor with the spa/jacuzzi on the terrace and it truly was incredible. The room itself was nicely decorated, bathroom is nice and modern, bed is comfortable - it is just a perfect hotel. Now, to the amazing people who run the hotel - absolutely everyone was incredibly nice and helpful and just great. It was a very...

We have been staying in Agios Nikolaos and came across port 7 to catch the late sunshine and that is where we meet a lovely lady called Soula, she was the best ! Lots of helpful information and laughs we had .This was our go to every evening. We wished we booked the hotel it is beautiful, very clean and lovely staff on our last night Soula made me a bracelet and wrote me a letter I was very touched...

We stayed for 2 nights in room 801, the room is huge, with sunlight pouring in and the most breathtaking views of the sea, the lake, the mountains and the town. The terrace has a jacuzzi, sun loungers and is perfect for watching the world go by. The bed was extremely comfortable with lovely linen, everything was sparkly clean. What makes this hotel even more special is the staff, each and every one...

I'm sick of the trend of hotels using the word, "Boutique" in their name & thinking that they qualify by placing a pot plant & some questionable art in reception. Fortunately, Hotel Port 7 - Boutique Collection is NOT one such hotel. The good: the location is outstanding; the staff is superb, always smiling, attentive & personable (special hat tip to Soula & Maria); the room I stayed in (which was...

We stayed in the highest room in the hotel that had a large balcony with private sun loungers and a jacuzzi. The views from the balcony were spectacular. The room itself was modern and spacious, with plenty of storage. The bed was huge and very comfortable. We had breakfast included, it was buffet style and included hot and cold options. If there was something you wanted that was not on the buffet...

We had a wonderful stay at Mirabella Apartments. The studio was comfortable and had everything we needed. The ocean views from our balcony were beautiful. My husband swam over a mile each morning right in front of the property. Also, the staff were super friendly. One added bonus was the ping pong table. We played quite a few fun games.

This apartment was okay to sleep in, it was in a quiet area with quick access to outside amenities (beach, taverna, groceries). The view was stunning, however, we were unable to enjoy any time on our deck given the area directly underneath and beside our balcony was reserved for people who sat and chain smoked from morning to night every day. Of course we expect some smoking in Europe, however, this...

Nice view from the property. But kitchen bar area needs upgrading. Breakfast was disappointing as all food offered was processed (the ham, cheese, bread, pastries nothing was fresh. Crete has nice bread, tomatoes, good produce in general but the breakfast was mainly from Lidl unfortunately. We would not recommend or stay there again as the information provided was very misleading.

Very cozy and family-friendly place, very quiet and very well located. Great rooms with wonderful views. Beach right in front, a tavern (Olga Tavern) across the road with an extraordinary view of the sunset. If you rent a car, you will be close to Agios Nikolaos, Plaka, Heraklion and Knossos, etc. Supermarkets nearby. Wonderful experience. We will repeat.

The property is located a few kilometers from Agios Nikolaos. The apartment is basic and not very clean. Overall, it's a good value for money.

Have been to this apartment five or six times the rooms are very comfortable and love the swimming pool Yvonne and the staff are so nice you feel like family The pool side bar is good nothing too much trouble I love it here nice and relaxing deffo coming back next year

We stayed here very recently. The hotel is perfectly situated. Across the road from a beach & beach bars. A very short walk to the lake. Close to the harbour & the marina. The hotel is well kept & clean. The owner Popi goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect for you. Nothing is too much trouble

We had a wonderful stay at Palazzo.We stayed for 2 weeks and we have nothing to complain about, - nothing at all! The manager, Popi, is extremely service minded and helpful and full of information regarding Crete and Ag. Nikolaos. We highly reccomend this small and cozy hotel!

Brilliant hospitality and service at the Palazzo Arhontiko Apartments. Thank you to our wonderful host!

Fabulous apartments, all amenities, fabulous beach opposite, easy parking on the roads or port.

Kept promises We had high expectations having seen the previous reviews. We must say the Palazzo met them. Just willing to find some minor critics we can mention the bed: comfortable but closed along three sides so that one has to climb over the other to exit

Big rooms, great view! You get everything you need for your stay, very comfortable beds, great cleaning service, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. On top of everything Popi is a great host and very welcoming. Definitely recommended.

Maria is an excellent host and is a font of local knowledge. The apartments are clean, neat and have everything you need. The location is spectacular, highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing family holiday.

Lovely place,great apartment with 2 terraces and self catering facilities. Lovely quiet pool area and a stones throw to the beach ⛱️ A couple of tavernas on the beach serving excellent food. Beach is lovely but sunbeds quite packed in together.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was run down and needs to be renovated. Tv didn't work and ac was very noisy and loud.

What an absolutely gorgeous, quaint and traditional family run hotel. The staff were honestly exceptional. Maria who runs the office, bookings, a true gem. Incredibly friendly, great organiser and super friendly and helpful. The owners and sons and team were all so kind, generous and a real pleasure to each day, smiling and being very attentive. The grounds are kept immaculate, the pool very clean...

Lovely little village type hotel compound, Great location and a sand beach. Rooms are clean and have a strong AC. Lovely place to stay.

It was perfect for us but we did have a car. As we went for 16 days we were upgraded free of charge and given a lovely 2 bedroom apartment with a sitting area outside. The beds were comfy and it was spotlessly clean. Maria the manager was so helpful marking places on the map for us to visit and generally looking after our every need. There's a lovely sandy beach across the road with 2 fantastic Tavernas...

Kostas and Maria were the kindest hosts/owners. They welcomed us with a welcome drink and treat, showed us where to go and what to see, and sang a lovely song in the evening with him playing the accordion and both harmonizing. Our room had a gorgeous view of one side of the many harbors! Would go back and stay again!

We loved the warm welcome from the owners and effort they make to personally provide local information. Our apartment was of a good size, spotlessly clean and with a great sea view from the balcony. Location was only a few minutes walk to restaurants. We would stay again if in the town.

We cannot thank Mrs Maria and Mr Kostas enough for their warm hospitality. What a beautiful hotel and location ! I arrived with my mother and they allocated a lovely apartment with balconies and all the comforts. We reccommend this hotel highly and would love to return on our next visit. Many thanks from Lance and Hilda.

Super location, view and staff A super location, very friendly staff and a fantastic apartment, that has everything you need. The balcony overlooking the Harbor and sea is wonderfull.

I booked a studio room with sea ( harbour view ) as a soo traveller for 5 nights. The owners / hosts are AMAZING. Their hospitality was incredible. They put on a Monday night music night in the foyer … truely unforgettable. They are so generous with their local knowledge and making you feel at ease. I truely felt at home. Agios Nicholas is a a fantastic base from which to explore the eastern half of...

All thumbs up. My stay was very good. The top floor corner suite had a great view of the marina and of the bay. The location allowed ready access to all amenities and things to see. The hosts were very accommodating and made the stay feel like a home. The glass of wine and snacks when I arrived was very welcome after the drive. The bed in the room was excellent. I had the best sleeps since I arrived...

Delightful host, great apartment in perfect spot We stayed for 5 nights in this perfect apartment with our bedroom balcony overlooking the lake where we could sit comfortably and enjoy a drink and relax . It was quiet and peaceful. Everything in the apartment was immaculate. There is a nice kitchenette with a sofa and a further balcony which was perfect (with a fridge, kettle and Nespresso machine...

Excellent place to stay! What an amazing place to stay! An excellent property. The hostess is sensitive to needs, and hospitable. It is a quiet place with an amazing view of the lake. Highly recommended property right in the midst of all the action in Agios Nikolaus. Restaurants and shopping right outside the door.

We loved our stay! Maria was such a warm and inviting hostess!

Great place if you don't have a car ! Great view on the lake. I was on the impression they have parking but no at all and not easy to find if you arrive by car. This is a challenge because their place is right on the center.

Perfect Beautiful location. Great food and even a Irish bar close.

The property is beautiful, perfect location, possibly the best view over the lake/sea. Maria is so lovely and couldn’t do enough for me! I had an amazing time in the short time I was there. Thank you! I’ll definitely stay again

Have just spent a week in this hotel and had a marvellous time. Continental breakfast in room each morning to set you up for the day. Room kept beautifully clean each day. Reception staff helpful and went out if their way to help. Going on a half board basis, you will be issued with a voucher to be used in a restaurant close by and it is delicious. Fabulous choice of dishes but be prepared to be given...

Had an absolutely amazing time in Agios staying at this hotel. Room was beautiful & spotless clean, balcony views over the lake which was stunning. Cleaned daily. Angel & Ross were so helpful. On our last day we unfortunately could not have late checkout due to other guests arriving but were given access to an en-suite beside reception. This was also spotless & offered plenty of products and towels...

Our room was perfect, with a balcony overlooking ageos Nicholaos and in the midst of this lovely town in Crete, walking distance from beaches, boat trips, restaurants and cute shops, Angel and Ross, the brothers that manage the hotel were mega helpful and friendly, snorkelling easy in all beaches, this has been one of our favorite holidays, open air cinema on a Tuesday night very cool and restaurants...

Was our first time staying at Porto Maltese and it did not disappoint, my daughter and I booked the family suite and it was lovely, staff were so helpful and friendly, I wasn't well one evening and they couldn't have been more helpful advising me,and after trip to hospital was all sorted,amazing service. Great location to get round the resort of Agios nikolaos, will definitely booked again, nothing...

Nice atmosphere, best view roof top. Very good music too. Quality coctails. Stefanos is the best one there. Find him! We love that place. Recommand to everyone. I will come here again. All employee’s have very nice attitude. Service is excellent,

The hotel was just as on website, our room was very tastefully decorated and we had a spacious balcony with an amazing view of the sea. Location was ideal and staff were super helpful and friendly.

"Super beautiful apartment with a magnificent view. 22 apartments ranging from 2 to 5 people. Run by a passionate, friendly family. Good food, good service. They truly do a great job. Car rental is also possible here, as they've worked with the same car rental company for 20 years, everything is easily arranged. Thank you for this wonderful time in Agios Nikolaos"

We stayed there four nights in April 2025. Room ( 2 pers.) was recently renovated. Kitchen was brand new. So was the kitchenware. The view from a seaside room is fantastic especially for sunrise ( seaside rooms overlook the pool and terrace. That might be a bit noisy during high season when guests enjoy the good mood during the evening). The apartment is perfectly situated for visiting the town, nearby...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Havinia Appartement is an incredible place to stay! The view and location are fantastic, but what truly sets it apart are the unique pontoon and excellent snorkeling opportunities. The hotel has a very pleasant atmosphere, and the breakfast is highly recommended. The staff are exceptionally service-minded. A special thanks to Kelly, Patricia, and George for giving...

Havinia Appartement is an exceptional place to stay. The view and location are absolutely fantastic, offering breathtaking scenery that makes every moment special. The unique pontoon and opportunities for snorkeling truly set this place apart from other destinations. We spent hours exploring the underwater world, and it was an experience we will never forget. The hotel itself has a wonderfully pleasant...

this is the most relaxed place on earth.. great family run apartment complex. great setting.. absolutely outstanding we have been here many times and will keep returning if you like swimming or snorkelling there is no better place to do it safely

We went very early in the season so it was very quiet. Our apartment was spotlessly clean with a stunning view that I would never tire of. It's out of the way so a car is pretty essential unless you want a long walk or just intend staying at the resort/pool all the time.

This is a nice little hotel, safe and quiet. Communication with manager was easy and very responsive

Excellent location Great room with lovely view overlooking the sea, met the owner fortini who was very friendly and pleasant , room was well equipped with everything you could need , our flight home was late at night and we asked could we keep the room on at a extra cost, but fortini explained that the room was already booked for new arrivals , but found us another room , we asked how much and how...

Place was Very nice and clean but a lot of steep inclines to get to main road. Overall nice

Fabulous in every way. If i could give more stars zI would. The apartment was very comfortable, beautifully appointed with a stunning view from the huge balcomy & the kitchen well equipped. Added to was the bonus of the delightful Fotini who welcomed us warmly and offered helpful advice & recommendations. We have a fabulous few days there & I would happily recommend Bellevue Suites to my family ...

Our stay was great, I wish the towels were a little thicker and change every day, also we could have had more coffee bullets for expresso machine.

Great location, lovely well decorated rooms, but the best thing here is the thoughtful owner who gives great recommendations

Excellent location and sea view!!! Beautiful scenery. Excellent view from the balcony. Clean room. Excellent location. Nice and friendly family.

Simple but efficient place to stay. Very well located.

Pella was amazingly helpful in my time of need and during my stay. Room was exactly what I needed, perfect location, great views, lovely and quiet at night. Such a relaxing sleep with only the noise of the sea. Definitely be back.

Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a basic place to stay in agios. We booked our room through Airbnb. The host Pella is so nice and friendly she's really trying to make you feel welcome.

Lovely old Greek rooms. Very cheap. 😇👌

Fantastic pension with amazing sea views. The host is super super friendly and will help with anything. Good location as it's a short walk to the town center and an even shorter walk to a lovely little beach.

We had the most amazing stay here! Everything was just perfect—the service was incredible, the food was absolutely delicious, and the whole setting was beautiful and relaxing. What made it even more special was the manager, Alex—he’s so lovely and genuinely interesting to chat with. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Excellent 5-star hotel! Everything was perfect — stunning sea view from the room, high-quality service, and great comfort. The cuisine was varied and delicious, and the staff was always professional, friendly, and helpful. A truly wonderful stay — we will definitely return!

Elegant relaxation and authentic Cretan charm at St. Nicolas Bay We love the St. Nicolas Bay Hotel and stayed at the hotel many times over the years. The park, facilities and swimming pools are well designed and the resort feels elegant and personal. The staff of the hotel in the different departments are warm, interested and treat you as family. The hotel breaths a chic and authentic atmosphere with...

We were here for the tail end of our honeymoon, and when I say this was the best stay that myself or my wife have ever had, I mean it. From the moment we got there we were treated like family - everyone knew our names, greeted us with joy and went above and beyond to ask us if we need anything. My wife has a gluten allergy, and from day one, whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they knew to...

An absolutely fantastic stay! The place is stunning and the staff is simply amazing. You truly feel special, like part of a small family where everyone cares. Service was top-notch, the food was excellent, and the villas are absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended!

Fantastic place to stay, staff are so friendly and helpful. Food a breakfast and evening dinner has a wide choice and selection and has been an added bonus to the stay. The only fault is it states 500 m from he nearest shops. That should be shop.
