La partie kitchenette du studio est plus que minimaliste

Zakros is a small, quite town out of the hustle and bustle of the more crowded beach towns. The hotel is spartan but everything you need is all there and the staff is eager to help. There are restaurants and supermarkets incredibly close by.

Great location and view from the balcony. Woman who runs the hotel is friendly

The water was cut off from 7pm until 8pm the next morning. No showers or toilet. Left one day early because of the problem..

Friendly proprietors, excellent local typical restaurant offering basic rooms, on the E9 footpath and close to the start of the 'Gorges of the Dead' walk. Quiet at night, with a lovely view from balcony. Typically Cretan lodgings but not a 'hotel' ... remember that although it has the title 'hotel' it also has the title 'rooms'. This is a good overnight stay for walkers, and is by no means luxurious. But the water is hot, there is a kitchenette in your room with a couple of items to make a snack, and the bedding is clean, although somewhat basic. We ate well, slept well and felt safe and ready for the day ahead. If you are looking for luxury, fine paintwork or room decoration, a lift, a lounge or car parking adjacent to the building, this is NOT the place for you. You can park on the street or in the car park of the museum 100 m away. Remember this is an untouristy part of Crete, where the locals go to meet and have coffee or a meal, and the place reflects that it is a place for the local community and not for luxury-hotel seekers. Be open-minded and enjoy the real Crete.

Nothing, because I accepted that the hotel has not been refurbished to modern tastes, but has all the basics for a very reasonably priced overnight stay. Yes, you might be shocked by the state of the grouting in the bathroom, yes you might feel that certain parts of the paintwork need to be refreshed, but if you are there to eat and sleep and move on, try not to judge - not everyone has the income to keep up with modern taste and this is a good reminder of real-life Crete, and for some a pleasant trip back into the past. If you are not open-minded and ready to see or experience things as the locals do, please go elsewhere.

Right in the centre of Zakros, easy access to nearby beaches and places worth visiting, e g Gorge of the Death. Friendly and helpful owners running also a restaurant next door.

it had character. also bright and warm. balcony to hang washing. very friendly and helpful owners

bit old but that goes with the price and cancelled out with the character of the place

People really down to earth kind & helpful x

The location & price

Marcos and Nectaria are generous and welcoming. Hotel ideally placed to make the gorges towards Kato zokros.
