Steris Elegant Beach Hotel & Apartments

Oh we loved it. Totally wheelchair friendly. We loved the location. It's in walking distance from everything. The staff is helpful and friendly. Thank you, Maria and Konstantinos! The accessible room is big, and I enjoyed the pool. Good job!

Sea view matters. I have been passing by this hotel for years, envying the people sitting in chairs in these front sea view loggias of Steris hotel, and wishing I had been there. I would drink sweet wine and eat kefalotyri cheese at sunset and night and watching vawes, I thought. Finally I decided to pay the price and spend 7 days there, although I felt guilty for betraying my old landlady from next door hotel. But if I didn't try, I would never know. The price is double compared my landlady, but one would have paid tripple or quadruple price in Milano or Berlin for ordinary 2 stars room. „Objectively“ the prices in Steris are good value compared to above mentioned cities, in the peak of the season. I booked First minute. State of my finances suddenly deteriorated, however, after Easter, so I was a bit nervous about my decision. No way back, though. When you swim in the beach you can see your loggia so close to the beach is the hotel. Between the 7,5 km city beach and the hotel there is Strand Road with two lanes which operates as 6 lanes in continental motorway. People overtake cars and bikes in both direction, can temporarily park on both sides, shuttle buses stop and take suitcase in the middle of the road, locals ride bikes with no helmet, in sandals and holding mobile phone in our hand and cigarette in the other, and still no traffic accidents, and turists can cross the street slowly as holy cows with no honking and cursing from drivers: it is island mentality. I like balconies and loggias looking at the strand roads. Since it is one of main roads and this is Crete's third largest city, so it is normal for the road be busy. If one doesn't want noise, than they should take a house in the wood. So, I decided to consume that famous sea view as much as I could. Like a poor Roma boy invited to Christmas dinner and who eats until food comes out though his ears. I didn't want to waste any minute of it. And it's magnificent, specially on II and III floor. Kitchenette was fairly well equipped. I decided to help water preservation and used only 1 set of towels and asked for no changing bed sheets. I asked for a kitchen cloth and dish-washing liquid, but I didn't get it. I wanted to do the dishes on my own. I didn't cook much, and I survived using serviettes. Bathroom is spacious, with many sharp edges which are not recommendable for elderly people, I think. Enough sockets and functional lighting, with two ways to light the bathroom: besides main light (with ventilation fan) there is a cool discrete ceiling lights which enables you to use the bathroom without fan noise. Toilletery (excellent herbal har&body foam) is of high quality. I never figured out how loggia lamp functions and how it is turned off. (Mea culpa, I come from an unergonomic part of Europe.) I wanted a sign „Do Not Disturb“ for my door knob, and of the ladies at the reception explained to me (to my embarrassment) that I should touch the button in my room, and really, I overloo

Si la chambre est propre et confortable, le séjour est gâché par le niveau très bas de gamme du petit déjeuner. Le buffet est minable, et rien n’est appétissant ok ne donne envie. (Voir les photos). Et si à 10h37 vous souhaitez reprendre un café c’est trop tard, à 10h30 la machine à café (Si on peut appeler ça du café) est arrêtée. Autre remarque, déjà que la terrasse donne sur une route plutôt passante, il ne s’impose pas de mettre la musique aussi fort quand les gens prennent leur petit déjeuner.
