Best hotel I've stayed in Crete so far (I've stayed in over 6 already) The rooms are modern and soundproofed with double glazed windows and AC. The breakfast is amazing, fresh orange juice with a selection of healthy fresh bread and local /international produce.

Perfect for strolling to port, restaurants and beaches. Lovely garden setting. Terrific welcome on arrival.

Booked a partial sea view but were not allocated one. Our room overlooked the garden which although pleasant enough it is not what we booked. Yiannis did apologise but it makes me insecure about what room I might be given if I wish to stay again,

Nice pieces of art everywhere, friendly service and tasty breakfast. If I would've stayed longer I would've gone through the vinyl collection in the lobby.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff and beautiful location. The hotel is a 5 min walk from the town center overlooking the sea. Rooms are quite small and especially the bathrooms are tiny. Breakfast is really nice with fresh vegetables and fruit. We had issues with the toilet not working which can happen but staff was very helpful. I think the value for money is very good.

Amazing little hotel - chic and artsy. Comfortable bed, great roof terrace with hammocks, very good breakfast included and free use of cycles. Could not fault it.

We were very happy with our stay at the Aris Hotel. Staff were helpful and friendly. Everywhere was spotless and well maintained to a high standard. A good choice was available at breakfast and well presented observing Covid hygiene regulations. The garden was a special feature with lovely planting and quirky, interesting sculptures a delightful feature all made from locally recycled wood and stone. We will return.

Arise Hotel is past the main dock from the bus station, which was our mode of transportation into Paleochora. The extra 5 or so minute walk is well worth the investment. The welcome is very friendly from this family run hotel. You will be challenged to believe the hotel is 30 years old. Our rooms were new with great air conditioning, ceiling fans and a working bathroom fan. There are free bicycles to use when heading back to the beach or going for a meal. We enjoyed the breakfasts at the hotel and visited many local restaurants for great Meals. The hotel has a lovely veranda where you can enjoy your breakfast or drinks in the afternoon before dinner or for nightcap. The hotel is very quiet and it seems the sun always shines on the Hotel Arise.

Definitely stay again. Perfect location. Front of hotel room great, possibly refurbished. Only downside not good for wifi unless downstairs (but could have been my phone) breakfast good, but not restocked if you arrived later say 9.30. Missed out on small things like pastries. Otherwise great and AC also as well as opened all year.

Nice hotel with possibility to borrow bicycles! Friendly staff!

Lovely family run hotel. Comfortable, clean and very close to the village centre (5 minutes walk). On the morning we got up really early to go to the Samaria gorge, they prepared for us a lunch pack for the day as we would miss breakfast!

Aris Liatakis and his family run this lovely, friendly and well situated budget hotel close to the pebble beach side of the peninsula of Paleochora. The rooms and facilities are simple but comfortable, at a great price, with nice views from either balconies or terraces (depending on your room), onto the lovely hotel gardens (full of foliage and flowers and interesting garden sculptures) or over one row of rooftops to the sea and mountains. The hotel is 5-10 minutes' walk from either the sandy or pebble public beaches, also close to some very nice restaurants, 5 minutes to the boat that goes to Elafonisi, Sougia, Agia Roumeli, etc. Nice breakfasts, including freshly squeezed orange juice, and a bar service for Greek coffee and other drinks when you need. And, importantly, really friendly, helpful and relaxed staff.

Good value for money. No Television in the room and the en-suite bathroom needs modernising. Ok if you are on a tight budget. The breakfast though seemed a little expensive for what was available. The location of the Aris is excellent.
