Great experiance - Nice little hotel We stayed for 10 nights at IDI Hotel and are overall happy with what we experianced. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony towards the road and sea. Great view, as the street - even the main street down to the harbor is not to busy in the night - but we enjoyed a good look on the blue sea.
The rooms are small, but well renovated and of good standard. All day cleaning was provided by the family who runs this place.
The breakfast is like many others mentioned allready on this platform - simply good and great. It is served freshly in the small garden and has every day one different local speciality served, beside bread with butter, honey and marmelade, cake, fresh fruit, fresh orange juice and coffee. Lovely and good.
Very close to the hotel is a small super market, that makes live more conveniance there by having some drinks available.
Downhill in 10 walking minutes is the beach with good options for a sun bed and swim. Same time is needed to walk downhill reaching all the taverna's and restaurants with great local food. Our favourite Taverna was the PANTHEON with a roof top terrace and a phantastic view to the harbor.
The free wifi is working well and a mini TV (we not use it) is installed. The remote control of the A/C was not working, but we did not complained as we did not use the A/C as well during our stay - just let the balcony doors open.
If you do not matter the stairs up (no elevator) and ask for a room at the 3th floor we beleive the sea view would be fantastic.
The IDI hotel is a family runed hotel with great host's.
We can definitly reccomend the IDI hotel !!! - 03/08/2015

Zalig chille vakantie 😀 - Superlieve familie, de mama maakt elke ochtend zelf een Grieks ontbijt. Heel rustig tijdens alle momenten van de dag. - 15/09/2024

Entspannend 😀 - Das familiengeführte Hotel ist überaus gastfreundlich, sauber und hat eine wunderbare Terrasse mit Garten. Das Frühstück ist jeden Tag typisch kretisch von der Hotelbesitzerin selbst köstlich zubereitet. Wir waren in diesem Jahr das zweite Mal dort und können es nur weiterempfehlen. 😞 - Man muss noch gut zu Fuß sein, denn die Pension hat keinen Aufzug. Auch de Weg zum Weg ist nur mit Abstieg und später Aufstieg zu bewältigen. Gutes Training für die Kondition. - 12/10/2025

''Οικογενειακό ξενοδοχείο με τέλειο πρωινό'' Όλα ήταν υπέρχοχα!Το περιβάλλον όμορφο και οικογενειακό.Ένα πολύ καλό ξενοδοχείο, καθαρό, ήσυχο και ιδανικό για ξεκούραση. Το δε προσωπικό πολύ φιλικό και πρόθυμο να εξυπηρετήσει.Εκείνο όμως που πραγματικά δεν έχουμε ξανασυναντήσει είναι η μεγάλη ποικιλία του πρωινού που καθημερινά αποτελούνταν από νόστιμες ,παραδοσιακές κρητικές λιχουδιές.Η παραλία είναι μόλις 5 λεπτά με τα πόδια . Σας το συστήνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα. - 13/06/2013

Good Bon accueil, petit établissement familial, situation correcte centrale, choisir une chambre côté mer.
bon petit dejeuner sur la petite terrasse du jardin. Difficile de se garer,
Pas d'eau chaude le matin si le propriétaire oubli le chauffage électrique d'appoint (chauffe eau solaire) en été pas de pb. - 10/08/2019

Zeer aangenaam verblijf 😀 - Ontvangst door de familie die eigenaar is van het hotel was hartelijk. Ontbijt was heerlijk en zelfgemaakt, in de voortuin van het hotel. Omdat ze 40 jaar waren getrouwd werden de gasten uitgenodigd voor een zelfgemaakt Grieks diner, waarbij de zoon wat liedjes op zijn luit speelde. 😞 - None - 07/08/2023

Excellent value for money We spent 3 nights at Hotel Idi and gladly came back for an entire week after leaving for 1 night on the northern coast. It's a GREAT bargain. The rooms are basic but very clean and well furnished (a/c, fridge, free wi-fi) with a wonderful balcony, and lady Jasmine is the best hotel owner I ever met: she will make you feel at home, and her handmade pies for breakfast are excellent. Restaurants and beach are respectively at a 5 and 10 minutes walk... perfect!!! - 20/07/2012

I'd rather you stay away from Agia Galini, but ... If you insist on going and spoiling the bucolic splendor of the area, Hotel Idi is the place to stay. A small hotel with perhaps a dozen rooms, the place is simple but very clean, very comfortable, has reliable internet, and awesome, delicious, breakfasts that vary daily. The owners - like everyone we met on Crete - are warm and inviting. - 03/06/2016

Superb Selbstgemachtes Frühstück auf der gemütlichen Terasse unter Blumen, schöner kann der Tag nicht beginnen. - 07/10/2019
Wir hatten einen super Urlaub und werden es weiter empfehlen! Es ist ein kleines sehr gemütliches Familien geführtes Hotel! Jeden gab es ein kleines extra beim Frühstück-kuchen, Eierkuchen mit Joghurt,Blätterteig mit Käse,jeden Tag immer dazu Obst.Ausserdem konnte man zusätzlich Eier, Wurst und Käse bestellen. Es fehlte an nichts! Die Zimmer wurden täglich gesäubert, es war ein Kühlschrank im Zimmer und es gab eine kleine Küche im Haus,die jeder hätte nutzen können! Es hätte nichts besser sein können! - 28/08/2018

Perfect Perch for a Sea View! We liked this place. Easy to find. Right as you take the main road in, it's up on hill above looking down on port.
Ask for a room on top floor if you can with terrace - beautiful view.
Good breakfast, home baking, and nice staff. Bed was a bit hard but the sweet balcony view made up for any shortfalls the room had... it was very basic. Washroom was clean.
Only negative thing is we had to show our print out of our reservation confirmation at check out, as they said it was more money, so I had to show here the reservation print out and then they agreed - but they became instantly unfriendly.
We would say there again though. - 04/07/2015

Exceptional Wunderschön eingewachsenes Haus mit Blick auf die Bucht und überaus netten Besitzern, die täglich ein individuelles Frühstück (aus eigenem Anbau) liebevoll zubereiten. zahlreiche Tavernen fußläufig zu erreichen. - 21/07/2020

Lovely owners, great value, amazing breakfast My wife and I stayed here for two nights. We were on the 3rd floor with a village view. Upon arrival the owner's son took up our luggage for us, which was nice. The room was very clean, the bathroom was good sized and functional with a countertop (not just a pedestal sink). Water pressure and temperature were also very good. There are blackout shutters to the balcony. These totally blocked out the light, keeping the room cool and dark enough for an afternoon nap. A small TV and fridge were also present.
There is a small shared kitchen available to prepare simple meals or grab a plate/utensils for in-room snacks.
There is no lift, so you have to take the stairs. The rooms are one, two or three flights up from ground level.
Now to the really good part: breakfast!
Each evening when we walked through the lobby, the smells coming from the kitchen would have drawn the gods down from Mt. Olympus. When I asked what it was the owner would say with a sheepish grin "It's for breakfast tomorrow, it's a surprise".
Breakfast was served at tables for two outside on the front patio and garden, which is beautiful and well kept. (larger tables are available inside)
We were told with justifiable pride that most of the vegetables come from their own gardens, that a sweet and savory is served each day, and that there are 10 different meals. Upon hearing this, I wished we were staying for 10 days, not just two!
Excellent bread, a fruit plate, vegetable pies, coffee, juice. All of it was delicious and carried us through to the early afternoon.
Hotel Idi is a great value in a great location. It is the lowest street down to the 'port' area. There are a few parking spaces out front. I would not hesitate to stay here again. - 19/06/2018

Good Jeden Tag unterschiedliche salzige und süße (selbstgebackene) Gebäckteilchen bzw. z.T. Spiegeleier - keine Wurst und Käse - inkl. Obst - 11/10/2019
