I must admit, before we booked our trip we were a little apprehensive due to the lack of pictures. The accommodation is very affordable and it seemed that there had to be a catch - but there wasnt! The owner of the apartments, Fragiskos, emailed me detailed instructions for how to find the hotel prior to our arrival. Luckily we... More

The hotel is only 300m from the beach and has nice restaurants and bus stops close by. The gentleman running the studios was always very friendly and helpful. The mattresses are a little old but no other complaints. We stayed for two nights. Overall a very nice stay.

The apartments are located about 40 min walk from Heraklion centre, although there is also a bus that stops not far from the hotel. Is about a 5 min walk to the beach (although it was empty, but given the weather this is not surprising!). Plenty of bars / clubs / restaurants nearby, which cater for a range of tastes.... More

The owner of Manos (Fragiskous) showed us the best hospitality I've ever received from any hotel in my life. Due to taxis being on strike, he took the time out to pick up his customers regardless of the late hours. For €20 it was the best value. The studio apartments were very spacious and clean, equipped with comfortable beds, a... More

We booked a appartment for 3 nights in studios Manos. It was fantastic! We had a large room, with a clean bathroom and nice kitchen. Very nice pool. And the best was the owner. The taxidrivers were on strike and we arrived late with the boat, so he picked us up at 3 am! The only downside is the location.... More

We stayed here for three nights in August. The hotel is only a short 5 minute walk to the beach and hip beach bars. To the main street in this beach town, it is about 50 meters - there is a nice bakery, shops and restaurants (we went to Petousis). The pool was clean and private, but we prefered the... More

From the moment i arrived the gentleman who managed this hotel was incredibly helpful. Frangesco ( sp) not only relayed messages from people I was meeting, he allowed me the use of the hotel phone and his cell phone for no charge. He even came up three floors to my room to give me the use of his phone to... More

We picked the hotel for the price and proximity to the airport. The room was ok but had some problems. Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner and fixtures more updated. The cabinets in the kitchenete smelled awful. Fragiskos the manager was very nice and helpful. Hotel was convenient to shopping and restaurant in Ammoudara but I did not like... More

I stayed at Manos during my "early-early" May vacations to Crete for 6 days and I believe my choice was superb. Great service, big rooms, big pool and Ammoudara was the perfect starting point to explore the rest of the island with a car. I agree with the previous comment that breakfast in the price is a plus since I... More
