Not a bad little hotel. The staff are all lovely and friendly and will help you if you need it! There's a lovely beach only 2 mins away and the pool is nice and clean. Although there are a lot of bad reviews, it's not all that bad if you haven't paid for a 5* hotel!! Although the room wasn't... More

We came home a week ago from a three week long trip to Crete where we stayed at Castro Hotel in ammoudara right outside Heraklion. We wanted a greek holiday and are from sweden so we dont care about the tea and full english breakfurst. We got a really nice 2 room apart with 2 balconys, one in the shadow... More

For the money you pay you cannot really have too many complaints with the hotel overall. I wanted a cheap week to explore Crete before heading to Santorini where most of my budget was spent. On arrival we were advised there had been an overbooking so were moved for the first night to the Arhodiko Hotel across the road. This... More
