Porto Maltese Boutique Estate

Room type booked was not given, having previously stayed here I chose the room type specifically to have this and was changed on arrival. Receptionist was not welcoming , couldn't care less when we advised of problem. Unable to shower due to such low water pressure. Noise from bars made it difficult to sleep.

We stayed in this lovely independent hotel for 10 night in September. The town is beautiful, and the hotel had a comfortable suite with good facilities and was perfectly located by the lake. It is a fairly basic hotel in that it has no restaurant and the rooms are also quite basic, but the staff were lovely and we wanted for nothing. A special mention for the concierge, Angel, who went out of his way to help us, with information on travelling around using the buses as we weren’t driving, and places worth visiting. When I became ill on our last full day he was so helpful in sorting out a taxi to the hospital, and when my wife came back to collect a couple of things I needed he gave her a lift back so she wouldn’t have to walk in the heat or wait for another taxi. He is a real asset to the hotel and such a lovely man, I hope the owners appreciate him.

I stayed at this wonderful hotel for 7 nights. the cleanliness was perfect and the staff very friendly. the position of the hotel is perfect, you can see the harbor from the hotel room. although I had emotions with the noise, the windows insulate well and nothing can be heard from outside.

Super location right on the water, and right near shopping, and the men at reception were both helpful and kind… However, our room had no view of ANYTHING even though we were right next to the water.💧 The room had a few problems: as a three-person suite it was just a regular room with a cot added. It was very tight for the three of us, The toilet 🚽 never worked properly throughout our stay. We had a small terrace that we had to share with two other rooms on one side, and the other side of the room faced out to the common area, so it was quite loud at night. At least it was fairly cheep 🤔

Lovely little hotel for the price and in a brilliant location. The guy that checked us in on reception was super helpful and both my husband and I commented on what a lovely welcome we received. We had a suite with a side sea view, the windows opened fully (no balcony), good aircon and the fridge had a couple of bottles of water chilling which were very welcome. It was very relaxed and had a good vibe about it. Thank you for a very pleasant stay

We spent a week in this lovely hotel, felt very welcomed and homelike. It was our first time in Crete so we got nice recommendations of things to do and places to eat . Housekeeping was top quality. Special thanks to lovely Nectaria, she is a such a kind soul of the place:) Would definitely come back!

Fantastic location overlooking the port with views towards town and lake too. We stayed in a honeymoon suite on the first floor (definitely worth the small fee we paid to upgrade as not all rooms have a balcony). The balcony isn't huge but had 2 bucket style rocking chairs and a table, just enough for a spot of people watching. The room was large with fridge, ironing board, iron, hairdryer, tea a coffee making facilities, a small Sofa bed and one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. Despite being on the roadside and some other reviews mentioning a noisy bar next door, we slept really well. I did use earplugs as don't do great with road noise, but they also drown out my husbands snoring! On arrival we were greeted by Damose who carried our cases up the steps, gave us some lemonade and a map, also recommending some restaurants and beaches. He also booked us the best table at Gioma meze restaurant for our final night. The shower room was small but no issue, the sinks were located in the hotel room rather than the shower room instead. The room was cleaned daily and towels also changed daily. Breakfast was served at a beachside cafe jut 2-3 mins walk , choice was of bacon, egg and beans with toast, or greek breakfast of fruit and yogurt, there was also a toast and jam option. You also got tea or coffee and a slice of cake, not amazing but perfectly sufficient. There are at least 2 ways to get to the cafe, either turn right and follow the coast road to the beach or turn left and then left again just after the crepe and ice cream cafe and follow this road to the beach - the 2nd one is shorter. Could I pick fault? Probably if I tried but I won't as we had a very good holiday in a fabulous location with a very comfy room and friendly staff. We would definitely return.

Very interesting cozy centrally located hotel. Warning, many stairs. Also must be careful to get in writing, confirmation of the exact room you have been promised. We were a couple, and a friend, so needed 2 rooms, next to each other preferably. Why we booked early. We booked the 2 honeymoon suites with balcony on the top floor, 1 year before arrival. 2 weeks before our arrival we emailed hotel to inform them of our arrival time and to confirm our reservation for the 2 honeymoon suites with balcony on the top floor. We received confirmation email confirming our reservation for the 2 honeymoon suites with balcony and that they were on the top floor. The day we arrived we, the couple were given as confirmed, one of the honeymoon suites with balcony on the top floor. Our friend was put in a room in another wing of the hotel in a room with no balcony. She couldn't have been any further away from us the way the hotel is setup. We immediately talked to the receptionist, showed her our emails confirming our reservation and that our friend did not get the honeymoon suite with balcony on the top floor that she had booked, paid for, and was confirmed multiple times by hotel. She told us the owner would talk to us in the morning. In the morning he offered to move our friend to the room down the hall to ours, however it was not the honeymoon suite, as they had given it to a longer term renter. Nothing we could do but accept, at least our friend was close to us and happy with the new room. He also gave us free breakfast for the last 2 days of our stay. We appreciate his effort in trying to right this wrong, but does not change the fact that he did not honour our confirmed reservation in order to accept a longer term renter.

Highly recommended hotel to stay, great location, room was excellent and free parking is only a short walk away. Very welcoming and informative greeting from Damose at reception. Breakfast on the waterfront just around the corner was a great way to start each day
