106 hotel reviews for Hotel Alianthos Garden
A hotel for a quiet, relaxing vacation in the south of Crete. The journey with a tour of three hours Crete the night I hope that not everyone will have. Return has shown, that it was faster. This has however nothing with the hotel to do. We were in the hotel accommodating and friendly at 1:20 o'clock welcome. A small snack at front desk in the room. For a couple of days we had a rental car in the hotel rented, to explore the southern part of the island. Read more

Stayed three persons in the restaurant Building, room was huge. Cleaning team provides excellence. Front desk was okay, could be more friendly. Staff in the restaurant: great! Very polite to children. Beach at the hotel despite stones ok, but 500 meters farther east, great sandy beach with wonderful tavern. Read more

We had a double room and got a free upgrade as an apartment, very pleasant, separate living area and bedroom to have, with a lovely balcony. Breakfast and dinner in buffet form tasted excellent and the offer left nothing to be desired. And the staff was very friendly in the entire hotel. Read more

Despite the tiny room, we felt very comfortable-not least because of the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the entire hotel. All in all, it was simply furnished, but all basic needs.
The beach is very close and invites to bathe.
We have our two weeks very much and would definitely come back. Read more

As Hotel suitable for families. The rooms could have been a bit bigger, since we were hardly in the room anyway, it wasn't a problem. No activities or child care-but the beach is very close and in good condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and generally in good condition. We would return to this hotel. Read more

The only thing that could have been improved on was that our very small balcony looked out onto the road but we knew on booking that there would be no sea views so no complaints.
