A lovely place right next to the sea. Good value for money
We hired a car to see the surrounding area and nearby mountains.
Would go again without hesitation
This hotel is magic. We stayed an extra night because it was so great. Our room was spacious and had everything of an apartment right on the water. Close to town, restaurants and shops. Staff were fantastic can’t rate this highly enough, wished we could have stayed longer.
This place is a dream. Basic furnishings, but very clean and comfortable. Dive right into the water without leaving the property. The Polydoros omelette is legendary.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Die Lage des Hotels ist direkt am Meer und wunderschön gelegen. In der Snackbar kann man sich mit Drinks erfrischen. Das Zentrum von Agios Nikolaos ist fussläufig erreichbar. Es ist ein absoluter Wohlfühlort, auch Dank der Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber…
Ho avuto la fortuna di abitare nella stanza più bella dell'hotel (n.6). Vista spettacolare, scendi dalla stanza e a due metri puoi fare il bagno in una cornice meravigliosa. Le ragazze del bar sotto sono super simpatiche. Scendi dalla stanza, occupi un tavolo, ordini qualcosa e se vuoi ti fai un bagno tra una portata e l'altra. Consiglio vivamente di alzarsi presto la mattina e fare un bagno all'alba. Non sarete soli, ve lo assicuro. Ritornerò!
Top, très bien situé, je recommande. Petit déjeuner extra. Mer a nos pieds, idéale, propre. Les chambres sont spacieuses, lit confortable. Possibilité de déjeuner sur place de produits frais cuisinés sur place. Le patron est vraiment adorable, ainsi que tout le staff. Note de 10/10 méritée.
Camera vista mare, ampia e accogliente con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Solo un po’ calda, condizionatore funzionante, ma un po’ debole. Il centro si raggiunge a piedi in 10 minuti
The Polydoros, is a great place to stay right on the sea front Almiros beach just 1minute to the right, the owners are the best, very helpful, and the accommodation is fabulous very clean, the food is great too, this is always my first my first choice of place to stay in Aghios Nikolaos, small and friendly little piece of heaven.
En veckas semester på ett litet, mysigt hotell som ligger alldeles vid vattnet. Vi bodde i en studio med egen ingång. Rent och bra städning på rummet. Vi åt frukost varje morgon med utsikt över Mirabellobukten. Vänligt mottagande, bra att kunna använda solstolarna och badstege nedanför hotellet vid sol och bad. Annars fanns även en sandstrand 100 meter bort. Lunchen åt vi oftast vid hotellet också. Vi kunde även parkera vår hyrbil bakom hotellet👍Mysigt ställe som vi gärna skulle vilja återkomma till.
Nice stay. Swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear water straight from the hotel terrace. Friendly Staff, clean rooms. The free parking area is gravel hillside, available for everyone. At nighttime used mainly by the hotel guests, then you can move the car closer , away from the bushes... There is a lively club next to the hotel, You can hear the music quite late . Luckily the hotel is built from bricks and the soundproofing is adequate. Note that hotels.com driving directions at confirmation e-mail are trying to take you into the Old Town...
Fantastic room with balcony practically in the sea. If you book here get room 6 no others compare. We were delighted
Stayed 4 nights wish it could have been more
La nostra camera è tra le più panoramiche che abbiamo mai avuto nei nostri viaggi: spettacolare vista sul mare, molto luminosa e con una cucinetta che permette di fare colazione in modo personalizzato (teoricamente si possono cucinare tutti i pasti, ma noi per pranzo abbiamo mangiato panini e per cena siamo andati al ristorante). La spiaggetta è proprio "sotto casa" per una vacanza tutto-relax. Ci sono diversi ristoranti nella zona e dei supermercati: da evitare, però, il supermarket più vicino che è carissimo in modo vergognoso.
Accueil très chaleureux de la part des gérants de l’hotel et des crétois en général. Les chambres ont été nettoyées tous les jours.
La vue sur la mer et absolument incroyable (y prétendre son café au réveil est un vrai bonheur). La petite terrasse au bord de l’eau rend le tout très somptueux avec une petite plage très belle à 20 mètres.
Seul petit bémol : nous avions pris un lit double et nous avons eu deux lits simples. Hormis cela, je recommande sans hésiter cet hôtel !
