The property was located at the edge of the village but close to everything and had ample parking available. The breakfast was simple but nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again

Excellent hotel, with very good taste in decoration and comfortable rooms in the heart of Paleochora. The location is great, just one step away from the restaurants and bars, but at the same time calm and quiet. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped, the bathroom very comfortable and clean.

If you are looking for a small laid back beach town in Crete, this is a greatchoice. Many of the more full service touristy options are on the north side of the island, Palaiochora is on the south. You can drive from Palaichora to Chania in less than 1.5 hours : drive to Heraklion is closer to 3.5 hours.
Plenty of beaches, good food, good people. Not really a party crowd, at least when we were there at the end of the season. There are many options for boat trips, hiking and outdoor activities. Ebikes and similar are easy to rent.

Lovely relaxed seaside town - really chill atmosphere in the evenings with lots of restaurants along the sea front and in main and back streets serving great food and generous extras (bread, olives, small desserts and raki).
We enjoyed a good balance of some hiking (Aghia Irina Gorge was lovely and very quiet), hiring a car to explore the area and a couple of days of swimming, snorkelling and reading on the beach.
I expect Paleochora is heaving n high season, but in Kate September was wonderfully laid back - a few days here and a few in Chania& Rethymno was a really nice balance.
I would stay right in the town next time - lots of small studios advertised along the road from town to harbour looked nice, quiet and close to everything

Palauochora is lovely low key resort with great food and beaches. We really like the vibe of the town which is authentic and friendly. Highly recommended for 3-4 days or longer. Really like the fact that it can be easily accessed by a very efficient bus and ferry service. We’ll definitely be back

Pretty little town with a chilled vibe but still has some action. Excellent cocktail bar in the middle of town. Amazing sunrises on one side and the most stunning sunsets on the other side.
Sandy beaches for those who like that but rocky beaches on the ither side that offer great snorkelling opportunities.

What a lovely place this is.
What a lovely place this is. It has lots going on in the harbour town. With a very friendly vibe. Soooo many places to eat, either on the harbour front or in the lovely little narrow streets of the town.
The town beach near the harbour is pebbles but across town is a wonderful wide stretch of beach that is lovely and sandy. It did get a bit windy and this makes the sand blow around. So use the edge near the Castel.
The ferry comes into the main harbour , so although we didn't venture that far ypu could take day trips from there. Next time we will🙂
We will revisit- its one of those places that you want to return to.
— The location in Paleochora is wonderful. Right on the beach and a minute’s walk away from town and the restaurants.
— Quiet environment with beautiful view on the hills and the sea.
— The staff were extremely helpful. I advised them that there was a problem with the toilet when we arrived at 7PM. When we came back from dinner at 8:30PM, the problem was already fixed.
— The room and the hotel in general is impeccably clean.
— The kitchenette was functional for preparing lunch.
— The breakfasts at Votsalo’s are very good.
We had a room for 2 with a little balcony and stayed only 2 nights but the stay was amazing. The host was super helpful he recommended several restaurants and bars. The communication was very amicable. The room was clean and cleaned every morning.
The building is located in front of the sea and near the city. There are several supermarkets in the area. The city of Palaiochóra is a very charming and the vibe is unique.
What a pity that we only stayed 2 nights, we wish we'd have stayed longer :(
The location could not be better, right in the center of town and short walk to the beaches. Our room and terrace overlooked a pretty little courtyard, nice and quiet for good sleeping, AC worked great. Our room was no frills but exceptionally clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed. Our host Maria was friendly and helpful, we loved the fresh homemade baked goods she brought us. Will definitely stay here next time we visit Palaiochora.
It's one of the best and most comfortable places we've stayed so far! The host is so nice and one can see and feel that he has built and manages the whole building with a lot of love and care! There are many small things that highlights how well-thought everything is. Location is also great - just 1minute away from the beautiful long sandy beach with amaizing waves! Highly recommend this place, it's a hidden jem of the pretty touristic city!
I was very please to be met with such a hospitable, friendly owner. Stelios did a great job building this place. First - it is next to the beach. Second, the bathrooms are ample and spacious, and thirdly, the bed is super comfortable. We slept great. There are real black out curtains- allowing you to sleep in if you want . Stelios is a talented and pleasant man who gives you great value for money
We were countless times on Crete. After several years we discovered Paleochora on a day trip. Since then we relaxed there 4 times in a row. The last 3 holidays at the Nicolas Beach. For now we don't plan to change that habit for the coming years. Wonderful place with wonderful people. Who could ask for more. Special greetings to Pantelis, Odie and the owners family.
Morpheas rooms is located on one of my favourite beaches outside Paleohora. These are basic rooms like most on the south of Crete. Everything is operational, the owner was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. There were a few games for the kids to play with outside. I recommend!
New and modern, very clean and well located. Just a few steps from the beach and all the restaurants, cafes and a big supermarket. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and always ready to answer your questions. Appreciated that they had free parking space.
The whole team was so nice and friendly.
The location is 2 min from the beach and so many nice restaurants are near by.
Would definitely recommend Palaiochora and this accommondation if you are looking for a relaxing vacation!
This is a lovely beach town, the property is located by the sandy beach and close the restaurants around the corner. The balcony was nice to sit and have coffee but just faces another building.
Everything! The place is close to the beach , the owner of the hotel was amazingly helpful and friendly ! Beautiful area to explore. The room was very spacious and clean , very cool vibes!
Best hotel you can find. Beautiful interior, super clean and great location!
Beach is only 2 minutes walk.
Host was very helpful!
I can only recommend!
