Sitia Airport Hotels from AU$86 (JSH)

"A lovely, large and well equipped apartment. The outside space is huge and we were able to enjoy breakfast outside, even in April. The cooking facilities were good with a well equipped kitchen. Washing machine is a bonus, though perhaps a slimmer model (elsewhere we had a roo loader which took up less space) would give more space by the toilet. Only thing to be aware of is that there is some traffic noise - and a very happy dog somewhere near by. Sitia was a delight - lots of bars and restaurants and a lot cheaper than places such as Agios Nikolaos. The archaeological Museum is worth a visit and the views from the castle are good. The harbour side walk is lovely and lively. We managed on most days to park outside or within 20 metres of the apartment but there is a very large free public carpark within walking distance. Despoina was a great host."

"Nice loft with high ceiling situated right by the port and the business district with many waterfront restaurants and shopping stores. It is also very close to the main bus station to Agios Nikolaos/Heraklion. The check-in process was very smooth and easy. "

"Lovely welcome, polite staff. We had a room upgrade to a sea view which was nice. Breakfast was plentiful but as it was end of season the bread rolls and croissants were very dry. The fruit had swarms of fruit flies so we decided not to bother, but there were other options. The pool area looked nice and clean with lots of seating options. It was very quiet, possibly we were there on their last open weekend, not sure. Sound proofing wasn’t good In the bedroom, we could hear a man talking loudly either in the next room or in the corridor around midnight. I’m sure that in the height of the season it is a very different experience. Having said that the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We don’t think it merits the 5* rating. "

"The location and room were exceptional. Communication was easy and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay at GM Luxury Suite and would return any time!!"

"Very friendly and helpful management. This is a good location. It’s just a short walk to the downtown, but it’s location is in a very quiet neighborhood with excellent views."

"Excellent stay! Highly recommended "
