Nireas Hotel

My husband and I stayed a week in Hotel Nireas at Kato Daratso. The studio flat has a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. I believe this flat was the cheapest, yet it had a large balcony to dine in. The flat was equipped well enough for light cooking. It had one saucepan and one frying pan and cutlery and plates enough for 3 people. There was a kettle and a sandwich maker and implements like knives, ladles, chopping board and so forth. The shower had good pressure and worked very well. The place was quiet and we never had any problems with sleep. Christos was at hand to recommend the better restaurants although it looks as though all the restaurants around were decent as there was so much competition. There are two supermarkets nearby. The buses take us to Chania town in 20 minutes. Tickets from the machine cost 1.20 € whilst cash payment on the bus is 2€ each. They are regular and work well into the evening. There is a Saturday morning vegetable and non-foods market in Town which shows what the Mediterranean Diet could be. We had everything - shops, Market, beaches, restaurants, a pine forest park with walking paths, mountains with villages for lunch. In Stylos, we saw water coming out of mountain springs where the water would be filtered and bottled. For those of you who believe in natural energy stored in the water molecules, you could drink it straight off the spring. The village restaurants serve the water in big glass jugs. I have always liked Greek food and the strength is in its simplicity. In various restaurants, wild mountain greens were offered. These greens are not of one species but change from season to season and from what that can be foraged. The flat was cleaned everyday and we arrived back to really fresh clean rooms. Cristos is not always at the hotel but everyone who works there is willing to help. Will I return to Nireas Hotel? Yes I would if Jet2 keeps the prices keen with big prints in their brochure of all the add-ons required on arrival to the hotel. Air-conditioning - 5€ per day. A Tourist Tax. 5€ per week to get Wi-fi for each kind of device in the room with communal wi-fi free downstairs. It would also help if there is a menu card with prices for breakfast or coffee and drinks by the pool. Outside a cappuccino was 2.20-2.30€ in the cafes. There was a bakery quite near the hotel where we bought spinach pies for breakfast. It was a fabulous holiday and thank you to Hotel Nireas.

Very nice, clean room. LInen changed daily and towels very regularly. Super bathroom and good standard kitchenette with adequate utensils, coffee pot etc. Only downside was the short steep hill which is not ideal for those with mobility issues.

First of all I really dont know why is this hotel with only two stars, it is perfect. Reception really helpfull, rooms big and very clean. Had that luck to be in room 30 with pool view and shadow very quite. Lovely kind girl will clean room every day, kitchen is great, new towels every day and sheets. Walking distance to the beach and many restaurants around. You can take rent a car on the reception or they can book tour for you. There is parking and very clean pool. I have nothing to say bad, one of the best where I have been.
