Odkryj pobyt w mieście Agios Dimitrios

We stayed here for twelve nights. The staff is the best achivement of the hotel. At the reception, Orestis and Maria make you feel welcome and are always willing to help, with politness and a smile. At the restaurant, on the terrace, our special thanks to Maria and to Marina, who took care of us, with efficiency and kindness, contributing, every day, to make our meal time a relaxing and pleasant moment, even when we could see that they were very tired. We extend our thanks to all the restaurant staff and to Manos, at the restaurant bar, for his promptidude on helping us whenever we needed him. Also, our congratulations to the chefs and food team, for providing tasty and diversified meals. We also thank Dimitris, at the Veranda Bar, for making our evenings smoother with his niceness, drinks, and music; thanks to Mariana, at the Wet Bar, who made our afternoon cocktails with a smile, in spite of our grumpiness upon arrival. Special thanks to Irene, the guest relatins officer, (who has a smile thats lights even the rainiest day), for being so professional and so nice in caring on the satisfaction of the guests. We can not forget our smiling cleaning lady, Voula Efsevia, who kept our room tidy and spotless and everyday gave a different artistic touch to our towels on the bed and bathroom. We loved the nice note she left, along with a red rose! About the hotel: I'm sorry to say that it lacks some features to be considered a 4 star hotel. The room was plain, it had little usable place to accomodate your clothes, and small veranda too close to our front neighbours. However, the water pressure was good and so was the bed. The hotel only provided one greek night with music and dance to entertain the guests, during all our 12 days. There were two snooker tables, a pig-pong table and a play park for the children. But the location was great, next to the beach and bus stop, allowing you to explore the beautiful surrounding areas, at low prices. There were also several gift shops and supermarkets at walking distance, if one doesn't want to go further. A note for cat lovers: there are several lovely and friendly cats in the hotel, wanting to be petted. All toghether, we had a great time here, thanks to all the Marilena Hotel staff! We will be back, for sure!

The hotel is very suitable for a holiday. It has a beautiful environment, a swimming pool and a beautiful beach. It takes 15-20 minutes to drive to Knossos Palace and Museum. The staff are very warm and friendly. The breakfast is very rich. The dinner is a buffet, which is also very good. The next day There will be music and dance performances with Cretan characteristics. All in all, it is a very cost-effective hotel and the four of us are very satisfied. The only drawback is that the room facilities are a bit old and the water in the wash basin in one room is broken.

Lovely stay, nice food lots of activities but not perfect for honeymooners

I arrive with my wife at about 9 AM, were told we have to wait for about 2h or more for room to be ready. Not a big deal. Left to eat and got back. Upon entering the room, we noticed it had a funny smell. The century old looking AC also was not working and was not fixed even after we complained about it. When turning on the light to the bathroom, the fan started to make a loud noise. That fan hasn’t been changed in many, many years. The noise was so bad, we had to turn off the light when entering the bathroom, especially at night when you’re tired and don’t want to hear noise. Speaking of noise, every single day, there was music from a hotel nearby up until 12 AM. From that same hotel, during daytime, you could hear continuous, non-stop LOUD music. The music was the worse, filthy mainstream music you can imagine. It’s like they purposefully gathered the worst radio “hits” from present day and several years ago and played them to drive people crazy. Now, breakfast starts at 8 AM and ends at 9 AM. But when you’re forced to go to sleep at 12 AM because of the bad and continuous music being played every day, it’s safe to say you can’t wake up at 8 AM. However, we did wake up at 8 AM a few times, to see what the included breakfast is all about. The breakfast is poor, but passable. It’s important to mention that if you don’t arrive on time for breakfast, an old guy, which I assume is the owner, will tell you off. Yes, that’s right. He won’t let you go have breakfast if you’re late. One situation that shocked me was the following: Wife went for breakfast at about 8:30, I went there at 8:52. I wanted to go inside to my wife, but the old man would not let me. He said I can wait for her on the other side. I was shocked. How can an old man tell me where and if I am allowed to check on my wife? This is crazy. Later I found out that many people were actually complaining about the old guy and how early the breakfast starts and how soon it ends. Let me tell you more about the room: It looks like crap. Tiles on the floor are old, look ugly, and all in all make you feel dirty. The room looks and feels dirty. The furniture is also very old and again, looks dirty. Our sheets have also never been changed, but on the last day. Only the sheet that we cover ourselves with was changed, like a few times. But not the sheets on which we slept on or the pillow covers. So we slept for a week on dirty sheets and pillows. Outside, at ground level, the green bushes/vegetation was sprinkled on with some kind of chemical that smelled bad. This means that you could not open your window for fresh air, because the smell of this chemical would get all inside the room. Also, at ground floor, where we stayed at, there was a whiff that would come from somewhere, and that whiff smelled like bad cheese. I was like *** is this. Also, colonies of ants can be found on the property and next to our door. The pool they have is dirty, found a lot of hair in it which got in my mouth as

Lovely new hotel and rooms. Liked that the room had it's own small kitchen facilities and fridge. The hot tub was nice, we had 2 separate balconies and our hot tub felt quite private. No pool or breakfast/bar, but with kitchen and local shops not an issue for us. The sea view was distant and just glimpsed between other buildings. It's a really nice relaxing place and quality hotel, it is opposite a 'love' shop, but don't let that put you off. Really close to the beach, shops and a great restaurant. Really easy to get the bus into Heraklion too which took about 20 mins.
