Fedra Apartments — Hotel in Municipality of Chersonissos

So. myself and 2 of my friends have just returned from 10 days in Hersonissos, a bit of an older lads holiday; mid to late 30s. We wanted somewhere near enough to the beach front, the bars, restaurants, marina etc but just very slightly out so we could basically pick and choose what we wanted to do. We arrived at the apartments around 11pm and met the receptionist Cornelia who checked us in and advised us where we could get something to eat at that hour before we went out for a few drinks. (Valentinos which is a bakery/greek grill house. Very nice and also well priced and what we wanted at that time of night.) The previous tenants of the room had caused a bit of damage to the television and lost the safe key prior to us checking in. (Not reflective of any other persons we saw staying in the apartments; these things happen I'm afraid). We werent bothered about the TV, but the safe was an issue. Anyway we got back and the key was found and we could store valuables in the safe so no problems there. We came down the next day asking for some advice on the local area, the staff were very very helpful. They advised we tried old Hersonissos of an evening to visit some more traditional Tavernas which we did on most nights following. The foods much better than on the front in general and the atmospheres great. Taxi is a must; the hill up to it is a good trek and would probably take about 40mins and coming down after copius meat, Mythos and Raki probably not advised. Its about 7 euros; nothing. So anyway, one major factor of this very good review; I mentioned earlier the staff. Apart from being incedibly helpful in general, Cornelia, who was the front of house, who we mainly spoke with, was amazing. It was my birthday when we were over there and this was mentioned in passing. A knock on the door later that night and a scurrying of feet. We open the door to find a box and a letter. "Happy birthday, with love, Cornelia." (A boxed chocolate birthday cake from Valentino's bakery as it transpires - it was amazing). I have no doubt this was bought out of her own pocket. Such a lovely and unexpected touch which made the holiday experience so much better. There was no need for anyone to do such a thing, we were merely paying guests and the staff were already incredibly helpful and friendly and would provide whatever needs in keeping with a the requirements of an apartment stay without ask. So, as the next day was my birthday, we went out for the day and celebrated. The cake was left the night before so upon return went to the fridge, brought it down and shared it with Cornelia and other holiday makers staying at the apartments. Happy birthdays were sung and Metaxa was drunk. Brilliant. On another side nte; check out was the follwing day. Normal check out is 12; we were allowed until 3pm with no additional charge. Bags were safely stored for us until the taxi picked us up from the front of the block at 6 and 10. Brilliant, would defintely retun to the island and Hersonissos and stay at Fedra again....

I stayed here for four days. The air conditioning has not worked this entire time and the room is so hot that we can not stand being in the room for more than ten minutes until we are covered in sweat. Since the air conditioning is not working, it causes me to have flare ups with my psoriasis. I have complained multiple times and nothing has been done. I even called the owner and he hung up on me. Initially, when I entered into the room this terrible odor struck me. The balcony lock does not even lock. On the white sheets, there was yellow urine stains all over. After I asked to have the sheets changed, they told me that they change sheets and towels every two-three days which is disgusting and unsanitary. The toilet is broken and you can not even sit on it without it moving. The shower also floods the bathroom floor, which makes it extremely slippery. The pictures of the apartments and pool look nothing like they do in pictures by the way. This place is absolutely horrendous and a catfish. If you want to sweat in your own smelly room, then go ahead and stay here!!! This place does not have any of the amenities it states online and does not even deserve to be a...

Llegamos de madrugada y nos dejaron las llaves en recepción. Nos dieron un estupendo y grande apartamento en la planta baja junto al jardín y piscina (en la esquina). El apartamento tenía de todo, buena cocina, horno, nevera, utensilios varios de cocina, y cubertería. Un gran salón con sofá, mesa y TV. Un baño bien equipado con bañera. Te limpiaban la habitación cada día y cada dos días cambiaban las toallas y cada 3 días reponen gel y jabón de ducha. La piscina era agradable. La usamos poco y por la noche, estaba bastante limpia y cubre bien para darse un chapuzón, temperatura del agua agradable, no la notamos fría como en otros comentarios. Los trabajadores del hotel muy amables y agradables en todo momento, se podía preguntar cualquier cosa que te informaban con mucha amabilidad (no me sé sus nombres). El WiFi era muy bueno, cada habitación tiene el suyo propio. Para comer comida típica griega podéis acercaros a la villa de Piskopiano a 3km al norte del hotel aproximadamente. Hay un supermercado carrefour cerca del hotel aunque es bastante caro, y otro que se llama Spar algo más lejos al que no fuimos pero es más grande. Si teneis taxi podeis ir hasta el Lidl que es algo más económico. El taxi desde el aeropuerto cobra 40€ hasta el hotel. Es recomendable alquilar un coche para moverse por la isla y poder ver todo, museos, playas, islotes, monumentos... Los griegos conducen un poco ''raro'' así que recomiendo alquilar el coche a todo riesgo, sin riesgos de pagar daños al vehículo, tened cuidado con los precios porque son bastante confusos y caros. Nosotros pudimos visitar las playas de Vai, Balos, Matala, (mucho tiempo conduciendo pero vale la pena). Otras playas más cercanas como la de la propia ciudad Hersonissos, Kokkini Hani... Museo arqueológico de Heraklion y el palacio de Knossos, centro de la ciudad de Heraklion. También Gorthyn, y la ciudad de Rethymno. En Hersonissos vimos la ciudad, playas y un buen acuario que no os podéis perder. En resumen, una gran estancia con un gran tiempo en septiembre y que seguramente volvamos a visitar lo que no que nos quedó por ver en alguna ocasión. Disfrutad de la isla y...
