Mari Kristin Beach

No surprises for this hotel, which was completely up to our expectations: Very clean room Quality catering Pleasant staff

A very nice discovery of this family hotel, but with excellent services. We were lucky enough to have a Junior Suite, and that greatly improved our stay. The entire staff is incredible, from the housekeeper Léa to Remer, our little waitress with a contagious smile, and our Chef who whipped up some delicious little dishes for us. Not to mention Katerina, who is kindness and professionalism personified. The hotel is located right in the city center with access to everything, and a bus stop is at the end of the street to get to Agios Nikolaos, Heraklion, or Ierapetra. Very well soundproofed, impeccable cleanliness, the pool is certainly small, but we have the sea 50 meters away. In short, go there with your eyes closed; you will not be disappointed.

I stayed in the hotel June 26. Hotel room was nice and kept clean by the room staff. Food was VG with lots of choice. No complaints there. Restaurant staff were attentive, helpful and very friendly. The Pool area is small but kept immaculately clean with sunbeds, canopy beds, bean bag chairs and loungers, all very comfortable. The hotel is near the beach on a side street just off the main road. The location is great. Close enough to the main strip but far enough not to be disturbed by the nightlife. I will return

Nice clean hotel environment and lovely staff, the room we had came with a tv, kettle (with mugs and coffee/sugar sachets) and a small fridge. You have a sign so the room can be tidied daily or simply left alone should you choose, very quiet environment beyond the random eagle sound that plays at intervals from somewhere nearby. On the lower floor there are extra public toilets as well as brochures for various activities, some books you can borrow to read and a couple of games like chess you can also borrow to play. The lift is a small one so only 1-2 people should use it at a time. Both the breakfast and dinner buffets were nice and full of a variety to choose from and slightly different each day (the only thing I disliked was all the dill herb in the salad area which is common but not my personal favourite). Breakfast comes with hot drinks like various tea/various coffee/hot chocolate via a drink machine while dinner has an ice cream freezer as well as the usual desserts. There is a voucher for the restaurant behind the hotel on the coastline should you need it. Good wifi throughout the hotel and a small pool that is kept clean to take a quick dip in plus the hotel itself is a few steps away from the coastline so you can walk to the various small beaches and restaurants along the strip. The main Herssonisos strip/shops/port area is about a 10-15min walk along the coast.

Everything was nice but the staff was extraordinarily helpful.

Greeted upon our arrival by Mike the night porter after a late flight. Arriving around 1am, Mike had a great sense of humour and a warm welcome. As we missed dinner, there was a lovely 'cold plate' for each of us. Breakfast for us was OK, there is a wide variety of foods, but not our cup of tea. One member of the breakfast staff throughout our stay stood out being happy, smiling and welcoming each day. She is the first to say morning and appears to lead the lads in customer service. Dinnertime offerings meant eating some of our childhood film animals including Thumper, so we opted to go elsewhere. The restaurant attached to the hotel by the beach (Petalida) provided traditional Greek cuisine. The hotel is literally a couple of hundred metres from the beach, with a bit of sand available, which appears uncommon along this coastline! We got a double bed 😀 in our room, and a balcony overlooking the main road, great for people watching! The layout of the bathroom could be better for the use of the space, but everything worked. This is our first visit to Hersonissos, and we will return to this hotel when we next return.

Very handy for the beach, shops and bars. Our room was quiet with a small balcony overlooking the pool. The shower was small but manageable . Staff on the most part were very welcoming and helpful. The bar was open all hours and pleasant after an evening out. Good value for money. The only downside for us was the food, which most seemed to enjoy but we ate out most days. I would however use this hotel again.
