We enjoyed our stay at Folia Apartments Crete and would recommend to others. There is a no child under 12 policy, so the complex has an adult feel, so not ideal for all families, but if you want to relax by the pool this would suit. The Apartments were clean and tidy, working air-conditioning, WiFi and the maids refreshed the rooms each day. There was a bar pool for food and drink during the day and the staff were helpful and friendly. The owners were on site and were also very helpful and friendly, with lots of local advice. Overall great value for money and would be happy to go back again.

Folia hotel apartments was very well kept, clean, newly renovated and everything was in good working order. They had a very nice breakfast buffet everyday for 10 euros. The pool area was clean and beautiful. We paid 3 euros/day to park our car. The driveway up was steep and the parking spot a bit tight, but everything worked out great. We even had a little patio area out back for eating and viewing the sea. The owners and staff were very nice and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel.

It's a somewhat older property, but very well maintained, and the management is helpful and friendly. Buffet breakfast can be purchased at the hotel for 6 euro per person per day if taken for the whole of your stay, or 8 euro per person per day if used occasionally. The buffet is modest but reasonable for the cost. On-site parking must be reserved by contacting the Folia management directly after you make your booking on Expedia. The pathway to the parking spaces is quite tight, and requires expertise in maneuvering. About four additional spaces (usually occupied) are available on the small street directly outside the hotel. Parking is easy and abundant on the cross street 50 meters below the hotel (Ioannis Kapodistrias). It's a 200m walk to the main street of Agia Marina where frequent buses run to central Chania, and also to the Alexandra supermarket. The beach is another 150m beyond that. Overall, it's a great value and we had an excellent stay -- buffet breakfast, quick swim at the hotel, drive all over western Crete in a rented car, with seafood dinner in some small town, and back for a quick swim in the evening.

Nice hotel with friendly staff, near to the beach h although it's quite a steep hill, lots of restaurants nearby but not many bars or clubs as such, a few little shops near by aswell. Room was kept very nice and clean and was decorated nicely, plenty of space and nice bathroom only issue really was the cooking facilities aren't great for self catering the hob takes a very long time to heat up and that all you have to cook with and the utensils and pots are very limited but it is typical of accommodation in Greece. The pool is well kept and clean with nice views and next to the bar and restaurant so access to food and drinks while down there as you may not consume your own by the pool except water. Always helpful staff we were able to park there free of charge and there is free WiFi and air conditioning.

All of the staff were really friendly and went out of their way to welcome us and make our stay enjoyable.
Good restaurant on site, with helpful waiters giving advice. Several others within a few minutes walk (but beware that there are some steep, albeit short, hills if mobility is an issue).
TV had only a couple of English stations (surprisingly from Russia and France), but who cares on holiday when there is good internet as an alternative?
Kitchen area has fridge, two-burner stove, kettle and coffee maker. Microwave would have been nice, plus a tea towel and some washing-up kit too!

This is a brilliant place to stay! Rooms all lovely, spacious enough with fridges and hair dryers and anything else you could need for your stay. The rooms were cleaned daily, close to the beach, local restaurants of which there are many and most importantly, very friendly owners and staff. Always greeting you and waving you goodbye as you left for the day. Nothing was too much trouble- even on the last day when we had checked out and I became ill, they kindly gave me a room to lie down in until I felt better enough to leave for the airport. This was a god send! Couldn't recommend this place enough!

Overalk nice, but not what we expected

Overall nice hotel, but pictures of the building and pool did tho represent the reality. It was much smaller then it looked like and no toilet next to the pool. With kids made it difficult as we had to keep going back to the room.

The balcony only fits 2 people, with family you cannot enjoy a meal in the room. Also it was in 2 levels, which makes it again difficult with kids, as they won't sleep as far from the parents in a strange place and during the night it's hard to get them down the stairs to toilet.

It's a nice place for adults, as pool bar service is good, and staff is nice, but we were disappointed in the facilities and we won't go back with kids.

Fab hotel with great views and superb facilities.

We had Room 28 which had a balcony with great views. The hotel noted our request for 3 rooms next to each other so as a family (gran, couple with child and Aunty) we could breakfast together on the balconies! The rooms were large and clean with kitchen facilities which suited us as a family.Lovely blue pool was a good size and plenty of sun beds with the outside bar made it very accessible. The staff could not do enough for us and were also charming and friendly. We ate in the hotel a few times and all food was freshly made and wholesome and delicious. On check out we were given the facility to store bags and use showers before departure in the evening. We would certainly recommend this lovely hotel.

5-Minute Walk to Beach

In some reviews, people complain about walking up hill from the beach. Yes, there is a hill, but it is NOT bad. There a beautiful views from the hotel, the staff is incredible and price is great. I would highly recommend this place if you are the the type of person to explore on vacation. If you are the type who wants to hangout by the pool or beach and do nothing, Folia could get a little boring, since it is 5 minutes from town. Since I am in the former group, I would 100% stay at Folia again.

My only 'even better if', would be for the kitchenette to be a bit better equipped, as there was only 1 saucepan and 1 frying pan, no colander, and no toaster. Small things, but if you like toast for breakfast, quite important!

Perfect Hotel to discover Crete

We thoroughly enjoyed our 14 night stay at the Folia Hotel. We were welcomed on our arrival by the owners and assisted with our luggage to our room.
First impressions were of how clean and well maintained the hotel was, our room a Studio sea view was spacious and all the appliances were new and worked.
The bed was comfortable and large and from our balcony we saw olive trees , mountains and the sea.
The hotel is up a slight hill , but this allows it to be just off the main stream of traffic ,which then makes it so peaceful and relaxing.
All staff were friendly and helpful, and it was no trouble to them organising a trip to Samaria Gorge.
We ate 4 times in the restaurant and every time the food was excellent, this would have been more ,but for the fact of many excellent restaurants near by.
I cannot fault this hotel or Agia Marina which had everything for a perfect holiday.
We will definitely be back.

Quietly located on the edge of most restaurants and bars etc so a little walk to reach them - however there are a couple within easy reach. Of course the hotel has its own excellent restaurant & bar as well. Could not fault our room except for us the bed mattresses were a bit too hard. Also the pillows. The furnishings in the kitchenette are a bit dated but perfectly serviceable. No toaster so you have to go down to breakfast at the hotel for that. The maid was so discreet we never saw her but she kept our room immaculate.
Altogether a great holiday as Folia is near the beach & you can walk right along it forever.

The stay at this hotel was less than satisfactory. I booked and paid more for a sea view room. I was not given a sea view room. When I alerted the staff, he was friendly and gave me a free drink. There was no mention of a refund of the difference. On the day of checkout, I had an early flight and needed to check out at 7. There was no one around to help! The one staff member looked at me like I was crazy and very rudely said the front desk opens at 8. Most of the staff was very friendly and the property is in a wonderful location, but it is run down.

The cleaning staff through to the bar/resuturant staff were also amazing, especially Akis the barman who made great cocktails and made all of the guests feel very welcome with his hilarious jokes. We had a Seaview studio which was spotlessly clean and well equipped...the view from the balcony topped it off though...spectacular sunset and sunrises! The food in the resturant was great and amazingly priced, we also had a continental breakfast included in the price of our room which had a good variety of food and was good value for money.

Good position, not far from the sea (5min.by foot)

Good position and not far from the sea (5 minutes by foot) over a street, very friendly hotel, and nice for relaxing.

The hotel with apartments is calm and is close to the town. We got a nice apartment with mountain view and from our balcony we can see also the sea and Chania harbor. Rooms are nice, very clan, not big but enough for a couple (also possible for three) with a nice bathroom. The staff Giannis and Nikos are really very helpful and considered all our wishes . They recomended us nice trips by car to the west and south part of Creta – for us it is the best part of the island although we saw in several times the whole island. The position of this hotel is good location for exploring the west part of the island.

The hotel is super cute! The staff are really nice, the food in the restaurant is so so good! It is a five minute walk to the beach (not the most scenic walk in the world, but its very quick!) there are shops right beside it! We shared a studio between three of us, which was plenty and spent lots of time sitting on the balcony. My only complaint would be that the pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures, BUT totally big enough for pool fun!

It is definitely the nicest of any of the apartments that we saw while I was there, and for the price its incredible!!! I had such a great time on this holiday, the staff made it so easy and enjoyable, very relaxing!!!

If i was going to go back to Chania (which i would love to) I would definitely stay at Folia again!!!! The best apartments in Agia Marina!!!!

Fantastic Service - I recommend!!

This is a fantastic hotel for the money. It's placed in nice quiet sorroundings with a great view over the bay of Chania. 5 minutes to the beach, which is very long and a lot of beach bars. Nice clean water. The hotel staff are very kind people, and the service is tip top. Cleaning is good, and there are possibilities for breakfast and dinner to preorder. Good plane food at small money. This is not a hotel for \"the party people\", but families with children and people who wants a relaxed holliday. I clearly recommend this holtel.

Hotelli oli siisti ja mukava kaikin puolin. Aamupala oli hyvä ja riittävä. Hotellin henkilökunta oli erittäin palvelualtista ja auttoivat esimerkiksi suunnittelemaan päiväretkiä eri nähtävyyksille. Palvelusta antaisin enemmän kuin 5 tähteä jos olisi mahdollista.

Suosittelen hotellia lämmöllä ja palaan varmasti itsekin uudelleen. :)

Fantastisk familievenligt hotel i rolige omgivelse

Hotellet ligger tilbagetrukket i smukke omgivelser med udsigt til bjergene og vandet/bugtene, og olivenlund.
Vi havde en dejlig balkon med udsigt til bjergene og vandet.
Hotellet har en hyggelig og familiær atmosfære og der er stor hjælpsomhed af brødrene der driver hotellet.
Personalets venlighed er også i top og rengøringen ligeså.
Morgenmaden er glimrende og alsidig.
Hotellet har vores største anbefaling.

La chambre avec vue sur la mer. Spacieuse, balcon, la propreté irréprochable.
La piscine agreable et le personnel disponible et sympatique. Hotel accueillant.
Il faudrait améliorer la wifi car coupe régulièrement.
Et peut être un petit point négatif : manque d intimité sur le balcon.
A part ca tout etait parfait

Apartamentos algo rústicos, muy satisfecha. Cans grande, venían cada mañana a hacer la habitación, lavabo algo estrecho. Con su cocina para poder hacer algún desayuno. La piscina está bien, pero ocupada de gente que dejaba la toalla en la hamaca y por la tarde no daba el sol. Alejados del bullicio

The rooms are very clean and tidy with modern bathrooms and double beds are 'real' queen size and not two singles pushed together like so many other resorts in Crete. Generally the hotel too was lovely with beautiful gardens and pool area. Owners and staff were always there to help and greeting with a smile! We loved the place!

Stedet har en fantastisk gresk atmosfære og en vennlighet blant personale som gir oppholdet en nydelig ramme. Rommene holder en fin standard med spesielt gode senger og dyner/puter. Kan anbefales for familier/par som ønsker et rolig hotell I nydelige greske omgivelser.

Vennlig atmosfære og forseggjort hotell

Et flott hotell med vennlig stemning. Man føler seg velkommen. Rent og pent i 2 romsleiligheten, og strøkent på alle uteområder på hotellet. Skikkelige dyner og myke senger var deilig!! Fint, rent, lite basseng, men ikke et basseng man kan leke med ballkasting/hoppe fra kanten fra. Mulighet for dusj (etter utsjekk) i fin liten dusj-garderobe. Flott balkong under tak til frokost/middag. Flott utsikt ned mot sjøen og nærområdet. Bra frokost, utvalg i brød og rundstykker, men ønskelig med mulighet for å få bacon hver dag. Litt bratt, men kun 5 minutter fra hovedveien når vi gikk raskeste vei opp fra stranden. Anbefales.

Folia - en flott hotellopplevelse

Hotellet er et fredelig og rolig sted, beliggende litt vekk fra hovedgatens travelhet, men allikevel nært nok til at du kun er noen få minutters gange unna alt du trenger av butikker, tavernaer og ikke minst en flott strand. Flott service fra hyggelige eiere og ansatte! Utmerket daglig renhold av rommene. Rommene utmerker seg med fantastisk gode senger, uten tvil de beste vi har opplevd på våre utallige reiser til Kreta. Det samme gjelder badet, med en dusj som fungerer flott (noe som ikke er dagligdags på greske hotell). Vi hadde i det hele tatt en meget fin hotellopplevelse, og nøler ikke med å reise tilbake!! Om noe negativt skal sies, så er basseng/bassengområde ikke av de største, og egner seg derfor ikke til aktive badeleker for de yngre.

Bon hôtel

Je suis venu au mois de mai avec mon conjoint j'ai payer dans les 30€ la nuit, la chambre est basic mais grande avec une baignoire, balcon, coiffeuse pour se maquiller.
Le seul point négatif c'était l'odeur dans la chambre qui était permanente comme une odeur d'urine c'était vraiment gênant. Je pense que c'est a cause du sol en pierre les femmes de ménage ne doivent pas passer la serpillère car on avait les pieds sales dès l'arrivée. A par cela je recommande cet hôtel pour le rapport qualité-prix. Attention il y a une monté pour arriver a l'hôtel rien de dur mais pour les personnes âgées c'est compliqué. La plage est a 10 min à pieds, jolie plage mais le mieux est de louer une voiture est de visiter les environs ce que nous avons fait, en quatre jours je recommande d'aller au centre ville de Chania(20min en voiture),la plage de Balos(1h en voiture),la plage de Stalos(5 min en voiture). Cela suffit puis d'aller après du côté d'Elafonisi et prendre un autre hôtels pour visiter cette partie de l'île.

I came in May with my spouse I paid in the 30€ per night, the room is basic but large with a bathtub, balcony, hairdresser to make up. The only negative point was the smell in the room that was permanent like a urine smell it was really embarrassing. I think it’s because of the stone floor that housekeepers don’t have to mop 'cause we had dirty feet the minute we got there. By this I recommend this hotel for value for money. Careful there is a climb to get to the hotel n

Kaunis ja hyvin hoidettu hotelli rauhallisella sijainnilla, sopivan kävelymatkan päässä rannasta ja kaupoista. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja huomaavasta ja herkullinen sekä monipuolinen aamupala.
