2 star hotels in Kato Daratso

The hotel exceeded all expectations: it is located right by the sea, with a beautiful pool, an amazing view from the window, clean, and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly. Just a five-minute walk from the hotel there is a local boulevard with a huge number of restaurants, a grocery store, and an excellent butcher’s shop. Very close by there is a small port where you can rent a boat or take...

We loved Blue Dome. It looks just like the photos and has a great feel to it, the sound of the sea, the attentive staff, the lovely pool and restaurant. Accommodation is really good, spacious, comfortable, well appointed with lovely balconies. Cleaned regularly with clean bedding and towels 2-3 times a week. Location is great, it’s calm yet just minutes away from shops, restaurants, bars, supermarkets...

The room was clean, but poorly designed. We were in our room and could not use the closet or dresser because the doors don't open because the bed was in the way. Our family members stayed in a different room and had a totally different tv then ours and channels. They had a smart tv, and we had a computer screen. The room was comfortable and we had a great view of the water. No front desk after ...

We had a lovely time at Blue Dome Hotel. When we arrived we were greeted by the nicest staff member who showed us all the way to the room and provided the best service ever. Only negatives is the fact that there are very limited sunbeds and one morning at breakfast we were completely forgotten about and didn’t receive service until 30 minutes after we had been seated. On the day of checkout a lady...

We have just arrived home after 10 days at the Blue Dome. The hotel is literally on the beach it’s amazing. We stayed in room 512 which is a beach and pool view it was perfect for our family of four. The hotel is very well kept and the vibe is laid back and relaxed. The staff are lovely nothing is too much trouble they are friendly and super professional. The area of platanias has lots of restaurants...

We have just left after a great week at the Blue Dome hotel. The location of the hotel right on the beach - as well as still close to shops, restaurants etc - is amazing. We stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment and the standard was high. Breakfast was delicious - it was a la carte choices supplemented with a board with bread, pastries fruit etc. The hospitality and helpfulness from the staff was very high...

There were neither shampoo nor soap in their containers in the bathroom. The kettle in the kitchen had a layer of calcium that I needed to clean before using it. Other than these, everything was fine. It was very clean property. Swimming pool was also very clean. There is a limited parking space on the street and no where else to park since I’m the road ends at the property. We had to park by blocking...

We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment for three nights and this place is just fabulous. The apartments are very spacious and quiet, on nice grounds with a pool in the middle. They also have a nice bar and light meals available with delicious chocolate shakes too. The family who runs the business are super friendly and very helpful. We highly recommend. If there is any downside to note and only a small...

Loved my stay at Elea. A peaceful place to stay that is a short walk from the beach. Great for families with young children.

Me and my husband stayed for 10nights, I couldn't fault the place, we stayed on the first floor 1 bedroom apartment very clean and spacious, plenty of sunbeds around the pool, decent size pool, walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets, beaches just down the road. The only thing that annoyed me was the barking dog next door, it barked all hours and was really loud, enough to disturb your sleep

We visited in August as a family of 3 in the two bedroom apartment on the first floor. The apartment was spotless and had all the facilities that we required. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a couple of issues which were dealt with immediately. The grounds are constantly maintained and looked after. The pool area was fabulous with plenty of sunbeds in the shade and in the sun...

We recently had a 9 day stay at these beautiful apartments. Loved the chilled out vibe, it was so relaxing. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, no scramble for sun loungers by the pool. It’s a little off the beaten track but plenty of lovely tavernas within a couple of minutes walk. Several beaches close by also and excellent bus service (No 21) to Chania every 15 minutes until 1 a.m. I did...

10/10 location, so many restaurants and supermarkets near the hotel The food at the beach bar was amazing and very good price!! Very nice staff, clean room, comfortable bed. This was my second time staying there with my boyfriend and we were very satisfied and would love to come back!

Lived in the superior room with terrace. The staff, so so friendly! The pools, so nice, very clean, close to the beautiful ocean. Overall amazing! Would definitely come back, Love Greece in every way. The food, history, and people. My son loved everything about the hotel :)

Me and a group of 17 people (5 kids) stayed here for a week. The staff and the family that owns this hotel were so friendly and so kind! We felt so welcome and at home. The location is great, you have a walking distance to everything you need (beach, supermarkets, restaurants, shops) Big and nice rooms with great balconys, the room had everything you need and were always very clean! I have a 1-year...

we where here 14 days, with kids, super good hotel, good food, good pool, of course it is a place where families with kids go, so expect happy kids playing in the pool. it was VERY hot in the room, but AC is available at 7.5Euro extra cost pr day, we did that, and it was a life saver,

Nice and comfy staying. Housecleaning level was 100%.

VERY NICE PLACE, Very god service, and extremely nice personnel. Delicious and quite cheap food, to eat in the pool bar day and evening. Nice location, close to very nice beach, places to shop, a little amusement place and not further than a good stroll along the beach from Chania, or a direct trip in the bus. We have been there two years in a row, and are going back again next year. LOVE this place

Great stuff, pool bar. Some rooms with old furniture but newest are realy big and clean.

Good food with reasonable price and friendly service make this place easy to visit.

Very friendly staff, helpful and kids friendly. Pool with a kids section, perfect for our one year old

Close to beautiful beach. Calm place.

Just got here today, already loving it, very nice pool area, friendly staff, good food, nice room, good location and cozy atmosphere

Just returned from 2 weeks with a friend. We always book 2 or 2 plus star accommodation so know what to expect. We were in room B7. Spacious studio with balcony with everything needed for basic self catering with fridge and toaster and 2 ring hob. The bathroom was small and toilet next to shower but what we have come to expect from this level of accommodation. Cleaner came in everyday other than Sunday...

Very clean rooms , fresh bedding and towels, only down side was there was only one pool open and the bar closed early. We will definitely be coming back

My partner and I paid extra for a studio apartment which sleeps 4. It was a good size and very clean throughout. The grounds are also beautifully kept. One small downside was that the shower was a bit annoying! The shower head is fitted on the side wall rather than the tap end of the bath so the space between the shower head and shower curtain is narrow and keeps sticking to you as you wash. The...

Great location and spotlessly clean. Room large but bathroom needs updating or at least replace the shower curtain with a shower screen. Beds very comfortable with sheets and towels regularly changed. Some rooms had better views than others, ours faced another appartment block but we did enjoy the afternoon sun.

Most of this has been said before but this place is great, we had a top floor room in B block for 10 days on a self catering basis with Jet 2. We had a very late arrival and as expected the keys were on the counter in reception with a map showing where to go. The Aircon control was left in the room, which was a godsend, if you dont want to pay for Aircon (Euro8/day) hand it in the following day. The...

Arrived on the 12th of August, excellent ,Staff was all excellent, especially the young girl who serves breakfast and is at the bottom pool, the surrounding area is very good as we'll, just across the road from the sea, would highly recommend the hotel, and went on a few trips on the little train as we'll as going to chania, all in all excellent holiday

Would’ve been nice to have a chance for a firmer and thinner pillow. The pillows in the closet were the same as the ones in bed.

The restaurants head waiter is very kind and polite. As we arrived midnight after 15h travel, we did not have any toilet paper until next day. Luckily we survived. Would have been nice to apologize immidiately and offer some extra as a kind gesture. The shower head’s upper holder was broken in our room but we weren’t bothered about it after not having toilet paper the first night. Hope they wont try...

Good location (which is what you're paying for) but the rooms are a bit dated.

Just returned from 14 nights in Despina Apartments, our third time, nothing is too much trouble for George, the apartments are spotless, attended to by Valentino, and the surrounding area, by George. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and shops all along the main road, and a short walk to the beach with sunbeds and shades. We are looking to go back again next year and highly recommend this complex

Couldnt fault the studio . Spotless, everything you needed .. Lovely balcony with sun in the morning then tea time . Host George was very friendly and left juice and biscuits on our arrival and some basil which was lovely as we made pasta a few times instead of going out . Good location.. . The only thing I found disappointing was there was no pool ! It was advertised with pool but this was a...

Lovely hotel! It’s such a nice hotel, George is really accomodating. The cleaning lady (i didn’t get her name sadly) is so sweet and good at her job. We stayed for free on the day we were leaving ‘till 6:30 in the evening. George arranged transfer to and from the airport so we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location, nice walk distance to chania. Good food at the hotel.

Excellent place to stay! Location is great, near a very beautiful beach.

Staff was amazing. Beach across the street, another a short walk up the hill. 10 euro taxi ride to Chaina. 45 minutes to Kissamos, do a private charter to Balos. Food was very good. Friendly staff at breakfast and dinner. Very local feel.

The staff is very friendly and always helped me with my requests. The hotel is near a wonderful beach and a bus stop right in front going to Chania. The are so many options to take any activity or tour from this hotel, in good prices. Excellent room cleanliness, beautiful view from our room and very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was also really good.

Great stay at Forum Suites! Our family of 9 enjoyed our stay at Forum Suites this summer! The property is well maintained with a lot of privacy between all the rooms. The rooms are large with all amenities and very comfortable beds. Everyone who works there was great and you could see they take an active interest in ensuring their guests have everything they need and enjoy their stay. The only opportunity...

Very helpful staff, close to beach and town

Nice place. The room is good,but we miss a microwave and we would have liked some thin quilt instead of just a cheet. The bathroom is ok. The cleaning is ok, maybe they should sweep around the pool now and then because some guests don't know how to pick up after them selves. And it is a bit responsive, but I don't know if they can do anything about it. The staff is nice but the beer is always out when...

An extremely friendly, family-driven hotel. Clean, spacious room, close to four amazing beaches, a quiet environment directly next to an extensive park area and a bus stop right in front of the hotel with direct connection to Chania. Suitable shopping possibilities nearby, and good, local restaurants/tavernas. If you need anything, let the owners know and they will do their utmost to make it possible...

Clean apartment, staff were very friendly. Nice pool and close proximity to the beach. Could do with a few more plug sockets near the kitchen area.

We were looking for a small friendly place to stay near the Agii Apostoli beaches and found exactly what we were looking for. The staff were new, but Aida, Kostas and Rodhula made us feel very welcome. In fact we felt so welcome, that we opted to have breakfast prepared every day. The U-shaped layout around the pool opens towards the North, so the verandas are nice and shady for all (N) or most (E...

Nice hotel close to rhe beachwith nice apartments. The shower unfortunantly has low waterpreasure.

We had a very nice stay at Kiwi apartments. Great location, very close to the beach and right across the buss stop to Chania. The rooms were comfortable and we have enjoyed the little patio right out of our bedroom. The cleaning service was great and we got fresh towels every other day. The staff was lovely and very helpful. Katerina gave us great suggestions about places that worth visiting on the...

The hotel is located in Platanias, nearby Agia Marina. This is a small, but cozy hotel with service-minded and nice staff. The management is allways solution-oriented. The hotel has air-condition and sunbeds. The hotel is located by the beach, so you are practically living next to the sea. Nearby there are a lot of nice restaurants and other shops. Nextdoor neighbour is a minigolf and playground for...

Service was good. Not 24/7 but when it was open it was on point. Verry helpful. Our room was nice and we had a greta view from or beach front room, Kitchen in room had all the things we needed. Bed was god. Had some ants on the flor and went to reception to tell them. I think problem was solved within 2 minutes. Wow. No food here but hey. You are on crete. Dont eat at hotells when there is worlds best...

The owner greeted us with a smile and great spirits. It is an excellent family run place. I highly recommend it to travellers and families. Thank you!!!!

Recommended! Clean, good service and perfect location! Very helpful staff. Sunbeds are right by the beach and included. Comfortable size of the rooms and cozy atmosphere. We highly recommend this place.

The property was perfect for us. A good base for a day on the beach or trips in the surrounding. Clean, tidy and comfortable.

Simple and inexpensive accommodations. Beach is right there! Clean and well-kept. Wifi was almost pointless- barely got any signal. Shower was tiny, water gets everywhere even with best efforts to keep curtain in place. We were only there to sleep so it was fine. If you wanted a place to hang out it had no character or charm.

Lotus was amazing, staff were so friendly (and funny) the rooms and entire hotel was clean and beautiful and had a lovely community feel to the space. The location is great too, on a really direct bus route into Chania itself, and we counted four (not three as advertised) beaches which were within a ten minute walk from the hotel. Resident cat was cute and friendly too :D Really loved our stay, thank...

Great apartments, spacious and very clean. Breakfast excellent choice and again everywhere very clean. Pool areas spotless and many sun beds available. The staff were all very professional polite and friendly. Breakfast room lady was excellent and worked really hard keeping the venue clean. Reception staff very helpful and friendly.

Our favourite hotel in Chania Agia Apostoli! Excellent service,hospitality and cleaning! We have stayed there ceveral times since 2007 with our children and as a couple and its the best.The best beaches near by and close to the busstop to Chania.Wonderful breakfast and this is just the perfect place for us!

One of the best Hotel appartements i ever experienced. We , too friends shared a flat with 2 bedrooms ( 1 bedroom upstairs ) Both with our own bathroom, kitchn/ leavingroom and balcony. Very Nice and clean. Breakfastbuffet. 2 pools and sunbeds. The Stuff was very friendly and helpful. Will for sure come back , and i really recommand it !

Our first time in Crete We chose the Lotus Hotel as it was small & Friendly, the reviews were good, location to beach’s was a factor, as well as good transport links, I have to say we weren’t disappointed at all. The Staff were very helpful & polite, from the front desk to the cleaner, Georgia in breakfast area always had a smile. The pool areas were relaxing, the bottom pool had loads of sun beds...

We have had a fantastic week at the hotel. The staff are absolutely wonderful and helpful. The hotel is clean and the rooms are fresh and newly renovated. Only 10 minutes to all the nice beaches with the clearest water. The breakfast is okay. Go here, you won't be disappointed!!

Spent 10 excellent days in this Aparthotel with the family this summer! Clean rooms, very friendly owner and personnel, no extra charges beyond usual fee for air-conditioning and safe deposit box. There is a small pool, though we were not using it. The beach is just 1 minute away. Small grocery store is nearby - everything you ever need during vacation is in close proximity area.

Just returned from a lovely 10 night stay at lambrinos suites, having never been to that part of Crete was pleasantly surprised lovely clean apartments 2 mins to main strip and 5 mins to beach.Perfect location and lovely friendly owner, first pool I have been in in 9 years as they are often to cold but Lambrinos pool although small was really nice to get in to. Would definitely recommend I stayed in...

Very nice accommodation, cleaned daily, very quiet. All the staff very friendly especially the cleaner Maria and the gardener. Ideally situated only 5 minutes to the beach and 5 minutes to the many bars and restaurants. Great value, just to add the air conditioning is extra €8 per day but much needed at this time of year.

We absolutely loved it ! Lady Katerina is an exceptional host . Lovely location , clean and accommodating

First the good points. Great location for restaurants and tourist shops and bus’ also right next to the beach. We stayed here because of the location and ease of access to everything as we have friends nearby. We have stayed here before and knew it was pretty basic without a kettle, toaster, hairdryer or microwave. The beds were rock hard and uncomfortable and makes sleeping difficult The pool...

Pros: - The outside lawn, garden and pool looks beautiful. - Perfect location near different beaches, restaurants and mini markets. - 1 very friendly cleaner called " Maria", she could make anyone smile, gentile and careful. - Cons: - Rooms not astonishing as it looks, rusted beds. - Poor ventilation working on and off. - Only have access to 1 copy of key, so if you forget the keys you have to look...
