Great find
loved this place, I got a very warm welcome and shown to my room. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. I was allowed a very late check-out which I really appreciated, having a flight at 19:40. I have already booked to stay here again and will do so repeatedly as I go to Crete often, - could not recommend this place more highly

Hotel was in a perfect position. Stayed at the back on the ground floor. Would have preferred a room on the floor above as we had a child under the age of 2years so it made it a bit harder for us with the balcony. But apart from that it was. Great stay

Great apartment with lots of extras
The Niriides is a fab little apartment block located very centrally in Almyrida and just a short walk from the beach. There's a great bakery just across the road who apart from lovely bread, sell a huge array of cakes and the best frappe in town! The apartment differs from many in that there are complimentary bottles of wine, olive oil and raki in the room and a small selection of jams, tea and coffee. There is a bottle of washing up liquid provided which is great as you never use a whole bottle whilst on holiday. The bathroom has some amenities and the daily cleaner always makes sure there's a spare toilet roll. The bed, for Greece is super comfy: memory foam I think. That for us is a HUGE bonus - getting home without sore joints! We had an upstairs room at the back which was lovely and quiet. I would think the front facing rooms would be noisy as it's on a busy crossroads. The swimming pool is clean and refreshing with a bar alongside which wasn't actually open when we stayed at the end of May. The only downside and the reason I have given 4* instead of 5 is the bathroom. Unlike most Greek bathrooms which are wetrooms, this one has a tiny little cubicle in the corner. I'm far from large but found it really restrictive. The wifi was also really slow. Whilst it's not great anywhere in the resort, Niriides was almost unusable.

Perfect for what we needed and clean!
The beds were very comfortable, one of the best on Crete. The kitchen has everything you need. Hotel staff was nice. The pool and grounds looked amazing. To Note: We stayed one night in the off season and I'm pretty sure we were the only guests in the hotel, so I can't comment on how it would be at capacity, but it was perfect for what we needed and would definitly stay again.

Nitrides apartments are perfectly situated close to the beach and tavernas. The rooms are large, well equipped and cleaned every day. Mosquito plugs, guest size soap,shower gel and shampoo are provided for your arrival. We also received a welcome pack of wine, olive oil, raki, tea, coffee and jam. The owner and his staff are very friendly and helpful. There are two small supermarkets, a bakery and a well stocked pharmacy within close proximity to the hotel. We had a wonderful time here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Excellent aparthotel great location
Very homely establishment, very friendly. Well maintained rooms all with balconys. Lovely clean swimming pool. The situation was great, on the edge of the village only 200 metres from plenty of eating houses and the sea-front. Well worth a visit. Our first visit to Crete but we will return. Almyrida a lovely small town, plenty of places to eat even though it was October, the weather was excellent and as it was so quiet it was really relaxing with everyone totally laid back. The local bus stopped outside the hotel and ran into Chania 4 times a day, only 2euro 90cents each way. Lovely walks in and around the area.

great hotel in Crete
this hotel ticks all the boxes for a very relaxing break. The bakery is opposite, the supermarket is 2mins walk and the beach a 5 min walk. there are numerous restaurants along the sea front for lunch or supper. the sea seems very clean and clear. The apartments are cleaned daily and contain all you need for a holiday. On arrival there is wine, water and fruit in the fridge. There is a beautiful pool right outside the rooms. The owner could not be nicer or more helpful. We hired a car from the airport in Chania, but you don't need it at all in Almiryda
