Esperides Hotel

easy to locate and park for self-drive tourists. 5mins walk to nearby beach. friendly staffs

Beds & pillows were comfy. Hotel was quiet. Check in desk stayed open until midnight when I arrived and was very kind on the phone and in person... even at midnight! Parking was easy. Upper front rooms have balcony and slight view of ocean. Toilet was leaking, hotel is a little old, but the property is kept up very nicely. Five-minute walk to village & beach. Amazing hotel for the price of $44! Didn't use shower or pool and didn't eat breakfast--only stayed one night. Hotel is a 1-1/2 hour drive from Heraklion airport on a steep winding road.

We have just left here from a spontaneous 2 night stay, we were staying on the other side of the island and decided to take the car and explore. We have been to Myrtos a few times and love the village. We read many varying reviews and they were mixed, but for the price £65 for 2 nights we thought we’d give it a go. So glad that we did, owners welcomed us immediately and told us the WiFi password and gave us our room key. We stayed in room 232 which was rear facing and had some amazing reviews of the beautiful mountains. The bathroom was very modern and exceptionally clean, the shower power and hot water was the best we’ve ever had anywhere in Greece. Beds were comfy, small fridge in room & kettle, with mugs to make tea or coffee if you took them with you (not included) The soap in the bathroom was lush the smell just gorgeous, I hope to find the same to buy somewhere. Highly recommend this hotel for location, fantastic price and cleanliness to the place. Yes the doors and walls seem outdated but it didn’t put us off and we would definitely be back in the future and would book here again.

Good hotel in central Myrtos! Walking distance to tavernas and the local beach. We booked last minute and were welcomed with a lovely clean basic room. Thank you for an enjoyable one night stay - we will be back.

Positive: Vintage-y Hotel is a good location and has plenty of on-site parking which is a big plus. Five minute walk to beach and village. Nice outdoor patio area with pool to relax and people-watch. Negative: We booked a twin room back in January but for unknown reasons received a room that looks nothing like the representative photos. Orange-brown bathroom was in great need of a renovation; flimsy shower curtain rod, missing toilet paper holder, cracked sink. Photos speak for themselves. Stayed one night only, but was expecting a more modern room based on photos and reviews.

Currently a week into a 9 day solo trip to Mirtos and I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. To start with the rooms. I was a solo traveller but was allocated a room with two single beds push together to make a double. I have a nice room at the back of the hotel with a stunning view over the mountains. The room itself was spotlessly clean, not a speck of dust anywhere. The cleaning staff empty the bins every day and change the bedding every other. The aircon is great so the room is always cool. The fridge with small freezer is great and even comes with an ice cube tray. Also has tea-making facilities. The pool area is nice and private with ample sunbeds. I've had the whole area to myself for most of the week which has been great. The pool itself is unheated, and is very cold, but top tip is to have a cold shower (located next to the pool) first and then it doesn't feel so bad! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I made the mistake of leaving my USB plug at home so couldn't charge my phone at all but the hotel manager made a point of allowing me to borrow his spare USB plug for the duration of my stay. So grateful. Mirtos itself is stunning. The vibe is so chilled and relax and all of the local restaurant staff are all very welcoming and friendly. Even as a solo traveller I was treated with the same importance as tables of 10. So refreshing. I can't recommend Mirtos or Hotel Esperides highly enough.
