Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
I booked a studio room with sea ( harbour view ) as a soo traveller for 5 nights. The owners / hosts are AMAZING. Their hospitality was incredible. They put on a Monday night music night in the foyer … truely unforgettable. They are so generous with their local knowledge and making you feel at ease. I truely felt at home. Agios Nicholas is a a fantastic base from which to explore the eastern half of Crete, and the two main shopping streets and the amazing sea lake right in the centre of town were incredible. I would highly recommend staying at Mantraki. Although it’s not a resort with a pool ( which you will need to travel 20 minutes out of town for ) I puts you right on the heart of the old town and downtown harbour. Everything is only a 5-10 minute walk - including 2-3 beaches. I can’t praise the owners of Mantraki enough. All the best

All thumbs up.
My stay was very good. The top floor corner suite had a great view of the marina and of the bay. The location allowed ready access to all amenities and things to see. The hosts were very accommodating and made the stay feel like a home. The glass of wine and snacks when I arrived was very welcome after the drive. The bed in the room was excellent. I had the best sleeps since I arrived on Crete. Knock on their door, take a look. You won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our stay at this family-friendly hotel. It is well-located and walking distance to all the main attractions, in a safe, quiet area of the city.

Amazing stay hosted by great human beings!
Such a typical and charming place. The warm welcome, the kindness of the owners, the local charm, the convenient location... this place has a long story and a beautiful spirit. The apt is big with a balcony view. Also I forgot my glasses and they nicely offered to ship it back to the USA as a gift, before I even asked the favor.

Comfortable hotel with great hospitality
The apartment was spacious with a nicely stocked kitchen and balcony. We managed to park in the lot at the hotel. The hotel itself was located very near a beach and within 10 min stroll to town. However what really made Mantraki a wonderful stay for us was the hospitality of the owners and staff. Costa and Maria shared their love of music with us and Julita, Leontine and others went above and beyond with recommendations and kindness. Do not hesitate to stay here!

We chose a room with a verandah and a water view. The apartment was of a good size well equipped and presented. Owner and staff were terrific. Welcoming and provided useful information. A little difficult to find. Parking limited to a couple of hotel controlled places. Alternative is street parking.

Wonderful hosts, fab location...
A wonderfully warm welcome awaits you at Mantraki... from the moment you step over the threshold, the hosts are intent upon assuring you of a most friendly, kind, attentive and informative stay.., The location is also excellent; from the entrance to the appartment, in every direction there is a different avenue leading to the variety of activity Aghios Nikolaos has to offer the traveller. Clean, spacious rooms, with good kitchen and bathroom facilities, all in traditional style. I had a most relaxing short break and am already looking forward to returming! Thank you

Definitely would stay again!
Loved staying at Mantraki Hotel. It was nice to have an apartment style room rather than just a bed/bath. Spent time in the morning/evening on the balcony overlooking the harbor area. I didn't end up cooking anything so can't comment on that. The room was clean and the facilities well kept. Kostas and Maria have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. They are wonderful hosts at this family run place, offering helpful advice as if I were the only one they ever shared it with. I particularly enjoyed the evening conversation and when inspiration strikes, Kostas, a former musician, breaks out the accordion and he (and maybe Maria) will sing! I would definitely stay here again. The one hardship, which I find fairly common in Greece, was initially finding a parking place. The GPS takes you directly to the hotel, but parking is hit or miss. I didn't have much stuff, so the paid parking lot (€3) 2 blocks away was fine for me.

Wonderful Position, Very Friendly & Helpful Staff.
Spacious flat with mini kitchen area, large separate lounge/ dining room, shower room, superb terrace with fabulous vews. Literally 2 minutes from one of Agios Nikolaos's lovely beaches, restaurants, shops and about 10 minutes walk to the beautiful 'bottomless' lake area. Ag Nik itself is a delightful town with top class restaurant food at very low prices compared to the UK and has easy access (by car) to such enchanting places as Spinalonga Island, Elounda, Lasitha Plateau, the Diktian cave etc. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. We shall definitely visit again, hopefully with some of our family including grandchildren!

Clean + Quaint
Stayed here for a couple of nights--apartment is super cute, room, and comfy. Two balconies! One in bedroom one in sitting area. Owners are super sweet older couple and give complimentary drinks in the morning. Place was a bit hard to find (by car) but just notify reception if you're having problems! The owners live in the hotel as well. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Clean and quaint.

Comfortable rooms with full amenities in a convenient location to discover town by foot. The hotel owners and staff were incredibly helpful to get us oriented and made sure we enjoyed our stay -- which we did. Next time we go we would email them directly to book to get the cheapest rate and a flexible cancellation policy.

Great place, very friendly and helpful hosts. One drawback is that the air conditioning in the entryway took awhile to cool the bedroom in midsummer, and required the key in the slot and all the doors closed to work, as is the case in many Greek places.

A Hotel With Heart
Beautiful, Cretan-style apartments (meaning that our beds were made of stone but with soft mattresses and bedding. Nice kithcen and balconies, many with sea views, but the treat that makes this hotel staund out beyond all others is the hosts. I realize you may hear it time and again and service, friendly staff, etc. but this goes way beyond that. This is a hotel with heart, and lots of it. You won't regret your stay here.
