Gemütliches Hotel mit herzlichen Besitzern - wir haben uns wohl gefühlt! Zum Frühstück wurden täglich 2 verschiedene hausgemachte griechische Spezialitäten serviert, ebenso frisches Obst, frisch gepresster Orangensaft und Kaffee.
Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Die Hotelbesitzerin und ihr Mann waren sehr freundlich und haben sich um das Wohl ihrer Gäste gekümmert. - 08/09/2018

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

Fantastisch Mevrouw maakt van ieder ontbijt een feestje. Ze kwam elke ochtend met iets anders en genoot zichtbaar van de complimenten hierover. Hele goede bedden! Erg schoon. We gaan er zeker nog eens heen. Niets aan te merken. Tja er is geen lift maar geheel Agia Galini bestaat uit trappen dus is het voor een minder valide sowieso geen handige locatie. - 07/08/2018

Lovely! 😀 - Wonderful family business. Very clean. Big. Very friendly hosts and great breakfast! Free parking in front of the hotel. The garden is so well taken care of it makes you feel good to be around planta and flowers. Our balcony was beautifully surrounded with flowers that i loved. 😞 - All was great. Sone shade in the balcony would have been useful. - 24/08/2025

Piccolo albergo a conduzione familiare Camera molto semplice ma con tutto il necessario e la pulizia è stata impeccabile. Bellissimo balconcino vista mare. La colazione è molto ricca e soprattutto preparata ogni mattina dalla proprietaria, ogni mattina una colazione diversa (ciambellone, torta di mele, crêpes...) sempre con prodotti fatti in casa senza cibi industriali. La posizione è perfetta, appena fuori dal centro storico del paese e in cinque minuti a piedi si è al porto. Proprietari gentilissimi e sempre disponibili. Manca l'ascensore - 06/08/2019

Best hotel in Crete Hotel Idi is such a wonderful place to holiday and a fantastic base for the south coast. The hotel is immaculate with amazing gardens and a sense of calm. The staff are all super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are really comfortable and immaculate. They’re cleaned every day. The breakfast is plentiful with every option you can think of. The restaurant is also really impressive- a lot of variety. We’ve never had a bad meal (this is our third year) you get the opportunity to meet with tourists from many other countries. I really can’t recommend Idi enough. It’s great for a few weeks or a few days. We come with our 9 year old son who loves the pool and the freedom. If you’re looking for somewhere with beautiful scenery and away from the crowds, with a very chilled atmosphere - you will not be disappointed. It’s a real hidden gem! More - 25/08/2019

Πολύ ωραίο, ήσυχο και οικονομικό ξενοδοχείο! Στο ξενοδοχείο αυτό είχα πάει μαζί με το αγόρι μου το καλοκαίρι του '13. Η κριτική μου άργησε λίγο όμως το ξενοδόχείο αυτό ήταν τέλειο! Τα δωμάτια όπως και η υποδοχή είναι διακοσμημένα με ωραία και απλά έπιπλα, έχουν air-condition το οποίο είναι απαραίτητο για τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες και οι ιδιοκτήτες ήταν πολύ ευχάριστοι και φιλικοί. Το πρωινό κάθε μέρα ήταν και διαφορετικό και πάντα χορταστικό. Επίσης, ακριβώς μπροστά στο ξενοδοχείο είχε ένα μικρό parking που εξυπηρετεί όσους έχουν αυτοκίνητο και για αυτούς που δεν έχουν το ξενοδοχείο είναι κοντά σε όλα, εστιατόρια, παραλίες, κτλ. Τέλος, το δωμάτιο είχε πολύ ωραία θέα ότι πρέπει για να χαλαρώνεις τα βράδια στο μπαλκονάκι. Ο συνδυασμός τιμής και ποιότητας ήταν άριστος! - 27/05/2014

Home from Home Where to begin! We spent nine days at this delightful hotel. It sits at the top of Agia Galini within easy reach of all the facilities of the town. But the steps are steep so regular stops to look at the excellent gift shops, or to sit with a coffee, or an ice cream, or possibly even a delicious cocktail are advisable!
The small hotel is run by Jasmine and Dimitri, and has been in the family since 1986. The rooms are very comfortable with delightful small bathrooms, and the breakfast is quite amazing and offers different local delicacies each morning - I am a coffee and toast person but my companion enjoyed every bite!
The beach can be reached on foot in ten minutes, offers a general store, eating places and lots of sun beds.
The owners offer a home from home and that is what we found - thank you very much Jasmine and Dimitri and thanks too to your charming son. - 04/07/2017

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of a walking holiday in Crete, this is a perfect base for walking the Zaros gorge. The hotel is very modern with pristine bathrooms and comfy beds. - 03/10/2023

Rodinný hotel v Agia Galini 😀 - Skvělé snídaně, každý den jiné a servírované ve velmi pěkném a příjemném prostředí. Hotel Idi má jako jeden z mála domů v Agia Galini předzahrádku se stromy, každý pokoj má malou lodžii se stolkem a židlemi, kde je příjemné posezení. Jde o rodinný podnik a tomu odpovídá i absolutní čistota, péče a přátelský přístup majitelů. Na městskou pláž je to pěšky asi 5 minut (schodištěm mezi domy), do centra a přístavu asi 10 minut. Ve vedlejším domě je malý obchod, kde vaří i výbornou kávu. Další větší a lépe zásobený supermarket je vzdálený zhruba 50 m. V hotelu je k dispozici i společná kuchyňka s vařičem a varnou konvicí. Bezplatné parkování je možné v bezprostřední blízkosti hotelu. WiFi v pokoji funguje dobře, každé patro (5-6 pokojů) má vlastní SSID. 😞 - Dům je třípatrový bez výtahu, což může být pro osoby s omezenou pohyblivostí problém. Klimatizace v pokoji byla poměrně hlučná. - 21/09/2025

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

Info vorab: Wie haben nicht in diesem Hotel übernachtetIch habe versehentlich dieses Hotel für meine Eltern über Booking.vom gebucht, wollte aber das Hotel mit selben Namen in Agia Galini buchen. Hier ist mir ein dummer Fehler passiert. Erst am Anreisetag haben wir mein Missgeschick bemerkt und ich habe die Unterkunft kontaktiert. Es wurde super freundlich und schnell reagiert. Die Übernachtungskosten wurden nicht von mir verlangt. Der Urlaub war somit gerettet und wir konnten das „richtige“ Hotel in Agia Galini buchen.Vielen Dank für das freundliche Entgegenkommen und die netten Tipps für die Reise. Das ist wirklich nicht selbstverständlich und wir schätzen das sehr ! 😊😊 - 03/08/2023

Wat een fantastisch hotel. Van onze vijftien daagse rondreis door Kreta (gezin van vijf met kinderen in de leeftijd van 18, 15 en 12 jaar) was dit met afstand het goedkoopst en tegelijkertijd beste hotel.Prachtige ligging met mooie tuin. Genoeg ligbedden met veel schaduwplekken onder de prachtige bomen. De hangmatten tussen de olijfbomen zijn top! Heerlijk en schoon zwembad. Goed ontbijt. Fijne sfeer. Goede service. Fraaie kamers (wij hadden met ons gezin de recent gerenoveerde kamers). Alles brandschoon. Overal goede wifi (handig omdat je telefoon tegenwoordig een belangrijk hulpmiddel is voor het plannen van trips en het vinden van restaurants).Ik zou deze plek aan iedereen aanraden!Enige nadeel is dat je wat hoger op de berg zit en je voor plaatsen als Matala en Agia Galini 50 minuten onderweg bent. Voordeel is dan weer dat je op loopafstand van de Rouvas kloof zit (als je deze in gaat via het vlakbij gelegen Votomos meer).In één woord: top! - 03/09/2023
