Pennystella Apartments

"Great hotel with really friendly staff! The view is truly magnificent."

"While driving on the road, we decided to make a stop and eat with the family. Nice terrace, nice view. As for the rest, it is a total miss. Two tuna salads (green salad, canned corn, and a can of tuna), a pork chop with absolutely no soul, and a piece of defrosted moussaka. 4 drinks and 4 scoops of ice cream for 90 euros. I asked for the bill 4 times. Impossible. The total was normally well below (68), but they give a random price thinking that the customer won't have counted. I paid, we left, and a red card for this establishment that brings shame to Cretan hospitality. Thieves without a conscience. Keep moving."

"I wouldn't say the stay was a total failure, as I don't let accommodation conditions dictate my experience, but the conditions here were very poor. The rooms had old furniture and a stifling smell; air conditioning cost an extra 10 euros a day—something not mentioned by the agency. Although I had paid for a sea-view room, I spent two days in one without that view. The "quadruple" rooms actually consist of a bedroom with a double bed and another room with a single bed plus a folding bed placed right next to it. The rooms are terribly noisy; the street—with traffic passing day and night—is just 4–5 meters away. The doors and window shutters constantly slam and are difficult to close properly. The walk to the beach is quite unpleasant (along the roadside); I knew about the distance—about a 15-minute walk—but the return trip takes longer as it is uphill. Toiletries were limited to two samples of shower gel; there was no hand soap. I would not return under any circumstances, and I do not recommend this place."
