Highly recommended
I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay somewhere close enough to amenities but away from excessive noise. Clean, well maintained and with helpful and pleasant staff. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful, airport transfer a bonus. Pool clean and well maintained, pleanty of sun beds. Grounds well looked after and pretty. Rooms clean and well equiped - only downfall was the shower which is fairly small. Stalis and Malia centre/old town all within easy walking distance. Nearest bars/restaurants/beach within ten minutes walk of hotel.

Lovely hotel
We booked the Socrates as a last minute deal and we were really pleased with our choice. The welcome from Sophia was warm and sincere and she offered us lots of useful information on the local area. We were given rm 202 om 1st floor facing swimming pool but enough of a distance away not to be too noisy. The room was a good size with a king size double and single bed, TV, kitchenette, hairdryer, and a small but functional bathroom. The room was spotless and cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided as well as bottled water. A/C was free and worked well. WiFi was strong in reception but weak in the room. Pool was a decent size and again cleaned regularly with enough comfy beds and a couple of cabanas that there was never the normal rush for beds even when the hotel was full. The breakfast was buffet style with the usual cold meats and salads, hot bacon and eggs, toast and pastries, unlimited tea and coffee so you could really fill up for the day. Served at the pool bar till 10.30 meant that it was still there after a heavy night on the strip. This then became the bar where snacks were served all day. All again well cooked and presented. Staff were all happy and welcoming. Socrates is 5 mins from the beach, 10 mins from the main strip and 15 mins from the old town so was handy for everything. Lovely hotel and a lovely stay!! NB the hotel advertised with free airport trfers but this is only from Heraklion. Chania will cost around 190 euros!!
