Hotel Galini Anisaras 3 * (Greece, Crete, Heraklion): description of rooms, services, reviews

Crete is one of the most popular places in Europe for excursions, beach holidays, ecological and other types of tourism, which are mostly chosen by middle class people.

In different countries and regions, hotels have certain characteristics. The island of Crete in this sense is no exception. Those who have become accustomed to the luxury of Thai, Egyptian, Turkish, etc. 5 * hotels are often disappointed with the service and even the kind of hotels in Crete. Those who visited hotels in 2-3 * in Portugal or France, pleasantly surprises an incredible price-quality ratio in local hotels of low categories, to which Galini Anisaras 3 * applies.

On the features of Cretan hotels and apartments 3 *

Most of the 3 star hotels in Crete belong to the same family for many years. Mostly owners of similar establishments are engaged in hotel business professionally.

Buildings and territory in such hotels (the same can be said about the Galini Anisaras 3 *) are usually roomy. Swimming pool is mandatory. But the design of the inner entourage can be much more modest than in the institution of the category 1 *. The reason is that the owners of such hotels have less funding, and taxes are much higher. In any case, as assured by numerous reviews, mainly in 3 * hotels, including in Galini Anisaras 3 *, holidaymakers get more opportunities than in the institutions of premium class. Owners, for example, can tolerate the fact that guests swim in the pool at an unseasonable hour. The bar here will begin to prepare for closure when the guests are already starting to get ready to go home. And workers (the barman and quite often the owner) can make a company to the guests during the evening.

Galini Anisaras 3 *: reviews

Many authors of the reviews believe that the hotel is quite consistent with its category. According to reviews, local Greek cuisine is always on top, with a slightly smaller assortment than in the premium class. Cleanup and staff guests are rated at 5 points. In general, everything is not bad, tourists consider. If you take a car and travel, rather than sit in a hotel, then you generally can not notice the flaws. The hotel at its 3 * is very good, tourists believe. And some even believe that the quality of services here exceeds the cost of the voucher.

Hotel Galini Anisaras 3 * belongs to a low price category, but it is quite decent, guests are divided, small, not modern and very homey. The Internet is available in the bar, there are usually no problems with it. The pool in the territory is very small, the residents share, clean it daily, the water is clear, clean. There is a swing on the playground. There is a bar by the pool. Is there a sauna in the hotel, the authors of the reviews do not mention.

The hotel is located in the village, the authors of the reviews tell, where there are almost no shops. Mostly the buildings in the village are hotels and private houses. Entertainment centers are completely absent here. In the resort village there is no quay, there is no central pedestrian street. The nearest town with shops and discos is 40 minutes on foot. If you want to have fun or something to buy guests need to go to Hersonissos, but this road is not simple - there are no sidewalks, you have to get within half an hour only by the side of the road. We'll have to go back up the hill. The hotel should be chosen by people who like to walk, according to the authors of the reviews.

Taxi costs 7 euros (450 rubles.), Travel by bus, which runs from the hotel once a day, -1.8 euros (115 rubles.). To the stop, where intercity buses stop more often, go for 20-30 minutes uphill. Tourists are advised to rent bicycles and ride around, along the sea you can drive to a neighboring village.

What guests say about rooms

Accommodation in rooms occurs immediately upon arrival. The hotel guests are called cozy, but at the first acquaintance with the rooms many are somewhat shocked. In the apartments on the first floor there are no windows, poor lighting, ants are running around the bed and in the bathroom, the tap is leaking. Air conditioning in the room is working properly. In the rooms there is a double door, one of them is wooden, the second is glazed. If, wanting to breathe fresh air or let in the sunshine, the tenants will open the door, they will be almost in the yard, people will pass by and cars will pass by. Vacationers are not recommended to settle in the rooms on the first floor. It is better to choose accommodation on the 2 nd or 3 rd floor.

The rooms in the hotel are very simple, even Spartan, the guests are divided. Cleaning and linen change in them is done daily. The rooms are clean, neat, wooden furniture is installed. If vacationers get a room with a view of the sea, the modesty of the room immediately ceases to notice. Rooms feature balconies. Often the shower in the room is not very comfortable, consisting of a pallet and curtains, when using it the water floods the floor, so the bathroom is always damp. Hairdryer is not available in the room. A fridge and air conditioning are available at an additional cost.

According to numerous reviews, the bathroom often happens in an emergency condition: the toilet constantly flows, rustles, water does not gain. For employees of the hotel, its repair, the vacationers are divided, can be a problem.

Those who hope to use the hotel only for spending the night can be disappointed. You can not sleep in the room, because the audibility is phenomenal, you can clearly hear the snoring and the conversations of the guests in the next room. A separate theme is the doors, which are so loud that they blast the sound throughout the hotel. Guests sometimes wake up at night from this rumble if someone comes out of their room.

How do they respond about staff

Staff at the Galini Anisaras 3 * hotel are called sympathetic, very welcoming, friendly and friendly. Employees are always ready to help, listen, advise. Many vacationers get the impression that they came to visit good friends. But in Russian there only one employee speaks, so those who are going to communicate in Russian, the authors of the reviews recommend taking a phrase book.

About nutrition

Those who are going to settle in the Galini Hotel, the reviews recommend to be prepared for the fact that a special variety of dishes should not be expected here, but they are tasty. Fresh vegetables and meat are always served. Of the fruits are usually watermelons and melons. Once a week, a barbecue is prepared by the pool (4 kinds of meat). The assortment of products also includes cheese, for dinner, fish, meat (lamb, turkey), fruit, the main dish is served every day different (from the national cuisine).

Guests are also offered wine, beer, crayfish, cola, water. From 14 to 16 you can buy ice cream. Drinks are poured into glassware, which distinguishes the hotel from many other "treshkas", the vacationers share where the dishes are used only plastic.

Dishes are changed every day. To a meat or fish dish serve as a side dish of pasta, potatoes + vegetables cooked and raw (in salad), olive oil, olives, delicious fresh bread.

During the meal there are never queues, and even if you come 10 minutes before closing - the food will not end, everything will be served fresh and tasty, the resters share.

About the beach

The beach is beautiful, the authors of the reviews share, but to go far. The road does not bother, there are no steep climbs and descents. There are no sidewalks, it is necessary to go simply along the road, the movement, however, is not too lively.

On the beach there are paid beds, inexpensive: 4-7 euros (250-450 rubles.), As well as a site where you can lie down with your umbrella. The sea here is simply wonderful, inform holidaymakers. Emerald water, small coves - all this pleases the eye! To bathe is a pleasure.

The beach - the more to the right, the better, tourists tell. If you go down from the shops - there is a very nice beach, small pebble, white, very beautiful, with a beautiful approach. The sea is nice clean, warm.

About entertainment

Animation, according to the guests, no, the hotel is designed exclusively for a relaxing holiday. Hotel Galini Anisaras 3 * is very quiet. At 10 pm there is already a call-off.

According to the residents, there is also a full-fledged children's playground: there is a swing across the road for children, there is nothing else. Authors of reviews recommend tourists who plan to go on vacation with children, to think carefully before choosing this hotel.

Conclusion

From the advantages of the hotel, guests celebrate good food, friendly staff, quick settlement. From the minuses: modest dilapidated rooms, location away from places of entertainment, the lack of windows in the rooms on the first floor. This hotel is recommended for those who are going to take a car or plan to come here without small children. Those who are accustomed to chic rooms, a variety of table and entertainment right in the hotel, this option should not be considered.

In general, according to many, the quality of the services provided at the Galini Anisaras 3 * hotel is quite consistent with their cost.
