Kedrissos Hotel

As with so many things in life, its the small thins that count. This is a hotel that lifts itself over and beyond what you expect from a small, family-run hotel. And it does so because the owners take pride in their work. Everything is clean, functioning, well thought-through. And if you ask them for advice on where to go, be it a restaurant or an excursion, they will take out time to find out who you are and what you are looking for, before nailing it with something that fits you perfectly. We'll be back!

So this will be a long review. Summary is that hotel is clean, staff professional and friendly. Just book it if you can! Arrived at hotel after taxi picked us up at the airport (arranged by hotel). Great driver and we came through the city for great views. Check in was very friendly and professional. All explained by Annie and our room 306 had a lovely view and we got beautiful sunsets. The room was very clean and easily big enough for the two of us. The balcony is very large with seats, table and drying area for clothes. Bathroom is lovely and shower has very good pressure. The shower screen is excellent and no flooding the bathroom. The air-con is the best we have ever had and adjusted using a remote control. The hotel is about a 30 minute walk to the harbour but a bus is only 10-15 minutes and buy ticket at reception for 1.10 euro each. The pool area is lovely and clean and the staff are always smiling and professional. The pool is super clean, even at end of day when people have been in and out with sunscreen on. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. The food portions are very big. Toilets and other areas are spotlessly clean all the time. In the evening the bar area is a great place with Yianni our barman serving drinks with a smile and Georgos the waiter being a great young guy who is very funny but also professional. Nikos is always around to keep an eye that everyone is happy and his laugh is infectious, he is a very funny man. Andreas the owner is the best owner/manager/receptionist/pool cleaner ever. He has given us so much help to enjoy our holidays. He organised trips for us like Samaria Gorge, a boat trip and a car so we could go to Balos. All at a great price. He is always happy to help with places to eat and drink in the Chania area. Our top recommendation is to go to Throumbi restaurant in Chania. It was possibly the best restaurant we have ever visited in 15 years of travelling. Chania itself is a beautiful city with friendly people and great history. It is chilled and very cool place to visit. So finally just to thanks everyone at Kedrissos for a wonderful 2 weeks. All the staff are wonderful but special thanks to Andreas, we will never be able to repay you for how special you made our holiday. Thankyou 🙏

What a great find this Hotel was! My wife and I regularly travel and have visited numerous of the Greek islands, but this was the first visit to Crete. The hotel and pool are modern (It looked so new I queried when it was built), well equipped and has everything you could need. (It is located just outside Chania itself, but the public transport system works well, the bus ride into town is a max 10 mins and runs every 20- we were going to walk until the heat wave hit!) Rooms are big, spotless and offer everything you need on holiday, the aircon and fridge were a godsend! The bar and restaurant offer a wide variety, the quality of which ensured we 'stayed in' to eat on 3 of the 7 nights! - Great value. This Hotel is rated as a 3 star - in which case, it is a top level 3 star!! The massive difference is the staff, they are all 5 stars, they could not do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The infamous brothers Andreas and Nikos were always available to offer any advice we needed, facilitated car hire (There is ample car parking) and suggested locations to visit, which were all spot on. They were also happy to recommend where to eat out - My top 2 were both in Chatzimichali Ntaliani Street in Town (Andreas will provide a map which he marks - it was easy to find) 1 Throubi 2 Oivonieio (both offer local cuisine of a very high standard) They also ensured our last day was completely stress less, even with a late flight back the high quality facilities there have separate areas to shower and change. Nothing was too much trouble, and we got the feeling that the staff are all happy to work there, it was like the proverbial 'one big happy family’. A special mention to Annie, who despite our flight in being over 3 hours late, still managed to ensure we got into our room at 3:30am without any problems. If you are travelling to Chania, I can't recommend this hotel enough.
