Kriti Hotel

We have just returned from a two-week package holiday with Thompsons/Tui, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The Kriti is perfectly positioned at Koum Kari, just outside the walls of the Old Town. A few minutes walk will see you at the Venetian Harbour and all the sites, bars and restaurants are within easy reach. We were in a standard room, on the second floor at the front. As requested, via the Tui website, we had a double bed, which was two singles pushed together to make one huge bed, which was very comfortable and we slept very well. It was fairly quiet at night even with the tilt&turn window open. Air-conditiooning is included and there is a ceiling fan, so temperature control is not a problem. The shower room is bright and modern with plenty of hot water at all times. There is a pull cord in the shower which is the emergency call system, not the extraction fan, as I soon found out. The room is serviced every day with toiletries, fresh linen, tea and coffee making supplies. The only problem with the room was a little dust on some surfaces, but this was very minor. The free WiFi seemed to work well in the room and in all areas of the Hotel. Breakfast was served from 07:30 till 11:30 and was of consistently high quality. I was particularly impressed by the fresh orangejuice machine, the various types of coffee available and the quality of the hot cooked breakfast options. A bonus was that if you were sat by the pool at 10:30 and fancied a Frappe or Capuchino, you didn't have to pay for it as it was considered part of the breakfast service. The pool was a pleasant place to spend an hour or two. The pool itself was quite shallow, with maximum depth of 1.3m, so not for diving in. There was a Lifeguard on duty at all times. One of the best features of the Hotel was the friendliness and high level of service provided by the staff. The front desk were very happy to give us all the information we needed and even arranged our excursions. They also lent us a USB charger. Just across the road is a little Minimarket, which has everything you could want, and In the side street close by there is an ATM machine. One word about the Tui transfer, the drop you off and pick you up at the traffic lights on the main road, not at the front of the hotel. Thoroughly recommended.

All the staff at the Kriti Hotel are fabulous. The service level at this hotel is 5STAR PLUS. The best you could ask for who ensure a perfect holiday for all their guests. This hotel is a very special find.

What a gem of a hotel. It's all about location, location, location...! Turn right out of hotel and 50m to sea and promenade. 15-20 minute walk along seafront to harbour. 10 minute to the lighthouse. Turn left and rhen right to the old town streets, market and shops galore. The hotel is extremely clean. The reception staff very professional and helpful. Good Wi-Fi in all areas. Rooms clean and modern. Pool area is immaculate. Not alot of sunbeds but we never had a problem. Most people are put at the beach or hiking. Great to come back to a pool in the afternoon. TIPS: ask for floor 3 or 4 and a balcony. Rooms at the rear are quieter and have sun all day (great blackout blinds and air conditioning). Great breakfast. Freshly squeezed orange juice, hot and cold choices. Fantastic yoghurt and artisan bread. Antonis at reception was great help and advice on booking excursions. All the reception staff very welcoming.
