The hotel is very clean, the area is nice, you have a bus station to Chania 3 mins away from the hotel. Did not try the nearby restaurants but you have a couple of options from what I’ve seen. The only complaint would be that you need mobile data since the Wi-Fi is very slow, but mobile data has good speed so I didn’t mind.

If you're booking through Expedia this will be your room. It's the worst room there; staff service room next door, there's an unbalanced washing machine in a niche and Everytime it goes through the spin cycle you'll hear it. Motor for fridge and AC labor loudly. An alarm goes off between 3:30-4:30 both am & pm. Housekeeping is aggressive and will bang (not knocking) on your door - cleaning in their schedule only. The beach toys are outside the door so high traffic area. WiFi out 2 days, 3 nights loud parties til 3am - rabid desk staff. Nauseous that I wasted 1000€ on this place. Transportation arranged by hotel unreliable. Was left at port to figure it out for myself then unreasonably berated by desk staff. When staff demonstrates irrational behavior, I'm not comfortable with staff entering my room bcuz you never know what passive aggressive things they might do to your stuff. Staff says only one bus, actually 4. None convienant for a busy schedule. Taxis unreliable & overcharge. Hotel is in bad location for tourism. If you're just going to let on beach, maybe okay but if you want to tour...not. much better hotel just next door.

We organized a shuttle with George and despite it being late in the evening he was able to collect us and provide a wealth of knowledge about the area and activities. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall great value for our stay. Would stay here again if I am ever back in the area.

Everything was great. location to the sea - super! Two bays are very close, two more bays - 5-7 minutes on foot. So, you can always find a calm swimming bay (without wind and waves) even at the end of October. Also nearby, within walking distance (up to 10 minutes), two large supermarkets. Bars and taverns are also nearby. Cleaning every day, change of linen and towels are also available. Dishes (saucepan, frying pan, plates, etc.) are all there. If you need excursions or a transfer to the airport, everyone will be organized at the reception. So - it's an excellent hotel.

This place is amazing! The brothers at the front desk had so much useful information to provide about the area and everything. I really felt welcomed. The room was in perfect condition and looked like it was recently renovated. Best of all it was quiet!

The location was perfect near the beaches, bus, awesome park for running and chilling and a lot of shops and restaurants. They sent an email right after I booked with super useful information on how to cheaply use public transport to get to the hotel from the airport or set up transfers as well.

I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

Just back from a 9 night stay at Niriis Hotel in Apostoloi, and I am pleased to say I, and my daughter, had a fabulous time there. The room was exactly as the photos depicted and the service from all staff members was top class. They gave us valuable info on where to go and what to do in the area and arranged our trip to the Samaria Gorge - just one of the highlights of our visit! The hotel is 2 minutes away from 3 beaches and there are several tavernas and mini markets close by. There is also a regular bus into Chania which is only 10/15 minutes away. I would definitely recommend Niriis Hotel for its location, standard of accommodation and service provided. Thank you for a great stay George. This was our first visit to Crete, but I know it won’t be our last !

Good experience for what we paid for

Nice spacious place! Kitchenette was good too. Noisy at night and we had to pay for air conditioning. 1 kilowatt is 1 euro. Location is decent, about a 15 minute bus ride (1.50 per person each way) to Chania. But also a 3 minute walk to a really nice beach with hiking paths to other beaches, lots of cool coves and cliffs and super warm water even in the end I September. Supermarket about 15 minute walk away. The stay was what you would expect for the price and we were happy!

Cheap and cheerful

Hotel staff were great, on arrival offered very comprehensive information on the city & attractions. There was an air conditioner in the room but no control to use it. Not all Power points in the room worked had to plug the fridge into another socket for it to work. Guests partied on verandahs well after midnight which management should have dealt with as it was inconsiderate to other guests and adjoining properties. Room was full of drain flys.

All u need

The taxi dropped us at the Nireas instead of the Niriis hotel at 1:30 in the morning . No matter, George responded to our panicked call of 'where are we' with cool aplomb considering he was probably fast asleep and offered to pick us up for 5 euros, which considering the hour was frankly just a gesture figure. Once at the hotel he still booked us in properly and gave us information on excursions, beaches and restaurants, so we were fully briefed for the next day. The room itself was large and immaculate with a big balcony and excellent wifi. The only drawback for me was that if u are 6 foot plus, the beds are too short. Overall, that doesn't really alter my 5 star rating though. Also, take note the area is very quiet, but within a 100m or so of everything u could need in terms of shops, restaurants and of course, nice beaches. Tip - the Talos (remember the 'Man of Bronze' in Jason and The Argonauts) restaurant immediately next door is excellent - try the walnut cake - unbelievable (and home made). All in all, the Niriis does everything u want from a good hotel, but at Hostel prices and has superb service. A real cracker all round.

The room even has a fridge, stove top and cooking ware. The staff was very helpful in providing information and tips for hiking in the area. The price was unbeatable. We would recommend it without hesitation.

Could be a great place to stay

Niriis has a perfect location; a short walk to the beach, restaurants, markets, and even a nice park. The hotel is nice and clean. However, nobody was there when we arrived. The sign said 'Back at 5:30', but nobody showed up at 5:30. Thankfully, the owner of the market on the corner was able to help us out. When Peter, the hotel owner, finally showed up, he was very disorganized. Couldn't find the key for our room, couldn't get the credit card machine to work, we couldn't reach him in the morning to check out. It was still in low season. However, if you are going to say you are open and take bookings, then you need to provide customer service, otherwise just don't open until you are ready. It's too bad, because this could be a great place to stay. But there are lots of other hotels in the neighbourhood.

Great hostel with excellent host

My sister and I booked a twin room here for 2 days and ended up extending it to 4 days. Great hostel - clean but very inexpensive. Close to the 5 little beach bays especially iguana beach which was our favourite. Regular bus to Chania every half hour. George was extremely helpful (does the man ever sleep?) and was always around to give us advice on market days, the best way to travel to Samaria Gorge (well worth doing), Ellafonisi and Balos and the best boat trips to take out from Chania... he also gave great advice on restaurants in town and the cheapest places to enjoy a drink with a view without paying tourist prices.... thanks George you really know how to run a hostel...

Cheap, Clean & Great location

We spent two weeks at the Niriis Hotel in Agi Apostoli and had a fantastic time. The hotel is family run and the owners went out of their way to give us advice on what to do and where to go. Their advice was solely to make sure we had a great time and they always gave honest opinions on how to do trips the cheapest way! The rooms were immaculate, cleaned everyday and by far the most luxurious Greek accommodation we have ever stayed in. The hotel is a few minutes walk to different beachs, well connected by buses to get to Hania, the mountains or the west coast, and surrounded by good restaurants and supermarkets. There is so much to do in Western Crete that we could easily come back and do something new everyday for another month! Overall we were very impressed.

George is great. We arrived so late at 1130pm and well past the check in time, but we called him and he was happy to check us in. He was friendly and helpful. We only had a short stay at Niriis but it was great. Location is ok, too far to walk into hania but easy to access if you have a car or to take a bus. Room was big and clean and SO cheap. Only drawback was that you have to pay extra to use kitchen (extra charge for A/C is understandable for a small hotel and easy to take into account considering how cheap the room is)

Positiv:
super Lage. Strand, etliche Restaurants, Bushaltestelle, Supermärkte in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar
Chania Innenstadt ist mit dem Bus in 15 Minuten erreichbar
sehr freundliche Begrüßung und super Tipps für Kreta und Chania an der Rezeption (George)
das Zimmer war bei der Ankunft sehr sauber und wurde jeden Tag gereinigt
immer genug frische Handtücher
kostenlose Luftmatratzen, Sonnenschirme etc. für den Strand
gut funktionierende Klimaanlage

Negativ:
- WLAN funktionierte oft nicht und wenn nur sehr langsam
- Matratzen für unseren Geschmack zu hart
- manche Zimmer haben als Sitzmöglichkeit außen nur den Platz im Flur zu den anderen Zimmer. Sehr eng. Ich würde mich beim nächsten Mal im Vorfeld darüber informieren, wo das Zimmer liegt.
