Hotel Brascos

We stayed in room 404,for one night, which was of a decent size for 2 people. The hotel had a lift and a nice seating area outside although balcony was plexiglass and being 4 floors up could create vertigo. Which luckily it didn't. The hotel was close to both old, and new towns, and the local bus station. The general feel of the hotel was one of need for a refirb. The air-conditioning was very old and didn't have a handset and had to be operated from a wall switch which was very awkward. And in ever increasing temperatures could be a real problem.

Location. A short stroll to the old town. Superbly located. Buffet breakfast with a tasty selection of hot savoury breakfast dishes. My favourite; baked tomatoes topped with grilled Herby cheese and ham and feta scrambled cum omelette eggs and also corn kernels. But lots of usual cereals, breads and Greek breakfast/continental. Left luggage. So helpful for having a day to explore after check out and before my bus without a heavy rucksack. Late check out time. It was possible to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and time to digest and pack after with a 12 midday check out. Excellent Size of room. Good and spacious

I like the location. It was also very cheap

We have stayed here many times over the years and it has never failed to be very satisfactory. Only little problem has been the loss of the roof garden which was an excellent facility.

Hotel has superb, amazingly professional and kind and sweet staff. They exceeded in helping me during the stay and made everything possible to make my stay in Brascos as pleasant as possible, I loved the friendliness and kindness of reception and restaurant staff. I highly recommend the hotel because you feel like you are staying with the family. I also loved the food the hotel, everything was super fresh and dinners were fantastic Greek home cooking. I was also using a lot swimming pool and room terrace which had park view. Hotel has wonderful location in the center of the city, with a lot of nearby shops, restaurants and cafes, very close to the city bus station and walking distance to the city beach. The bus station for daily trips (like Elafonisi, Balos, etc.) is just across the street which was super convenient. You can find hotels with more luxurious furniture, but you cannot find hotel in Crete with more welcoming and nicer staff than Brascos. Thank you for everything and you showed me once again that tourism is always and only about people! You are the best of Cretan hospitality!
