Odyssia Beach Hotel

My friend Mauro and I decided to have lunch in this place. We ordered toast, a hamburger, 2 Cokes and a water. Very honest prices, the only problem is the service guy. Very rude. We asked to redo the hamburger because it was full of sauces and we had to pay it back. As if that wasn't enough, when the 2nd hamburger arrived he asked us to go and pay with the plate in front of us.

On arrival we were updated to a suite, which was in the sister hotel a little further away (Ossirus). Room was nice and spacious. Breakfast was fine, dinner was OK, but we decided to eat out every day. Beds on the beach plus parasol cost per 2 € 8 euros per day. Beds at the pool are free. Service on the beach, but it is a lot cheaper to get drinks and snacks from the hotel supermarket/shop. Staff is very friendly. Large supermarket around the corner. The bus also stops at the corner. Please note that you can get bus tickets in the supermarket. Yes, the hotel is aimed at Germans, but you don't notice much of that. We thought it was a nice hotel

Helpful (2)Hotelier comments We are a family with 3 children and had booked a family room. In this hotel, unfortunately, these are either in the basement/semi-basement, with indoor, unlit/ventilated children's rooms, or in a regular, approx. 20 m² double room, in which the children sleep in the entrance area of ​​the room (can be separated by a sliding door, no outside window). , on sofas and extra beds. With five people on 20 m² there is neither room for suitcases nor enough storage space in the closet and nobody can sleep well. During our stay in June not only we but also numerous other guests complained about the rooms. Bathroom tiny and not very well maintained (everything calcified), sink in the room instead of in the bathroom. Balconies with views of buildings opposite. We have never had such a bad, small and noisy room in our life and we have never slept so badly on vacation. We were also annoyed that everything costs extra in this hotel: loungers on the beach with cushions and an umbrella 8 euros per day extra, beach towel 1 euro per day, food in the beach restaurant 5 euros per day - only the seat with Sea view costs more! We have never experienced. It all adds up, especially since the drinks are also quite expensive (small beer 3.50, non-alcoholic children's cocktail 6.50, Aperol Spritz 9). The hotel has 2 restaurants, of which the one on the beach is very nice, but it costs the extra charge mentioned. The location of the other restaurant ("Garden") is not worth mentioning. The food is okay, but there is little variety and if you don't eat early, you only get a little - a lot of things are not refilled and then it's gone. For us, this holiday was not relaxing because of the terrible room, especially since the price-performance ratio was not right at all. We booked an all-inclusive price and paid a whopping 385 euros per night with half board, taking into account the flight (500 euros per person assumed). Unfortunately, that doesn't fit in the back and front and we feel vera... I think for two in a renovated double room with sea view and if you don't attach much importance to variety in food, this can definitely be a nice holiday. There are only a few parking spaces, the bus to Rethymnon runs nearby.
