Hotel Mare Olympus Apartments (Agios Nikolaos, Greece)

An excellent location is a great part of the appeal of this apartment hotel. The beach, restaurants, and city night life are very close. There's a big-city vibe to the atmosphere with great bars like Chez George with fantastic views or Sirocco a Cretan taverna, which also provide views of yachts and flotillas. There are also museums, churches, and plenty of history and culture. It's nice taking a stroll in the evening to have a drink at one of the bars along the lake. The area feels safe as well.

If your room is on the top floor, you are in for awesome views of the sea. The hotel has a number of balconies where you can chill-out and enjoy the scenery.

Hotel personnel are friendly and hospitable. They are more than pleased to offer advice and help with planning excursions to make sure you have a fulfilling day. Don't be surprised if they offer to supply you with a nice breakfast and lunch for your trip!

You may find the bathroom so small that it's difficult to open the door without hitting the sink. When taking a shower, water goes everywhere. The décor is a bit outdated as well, but not too distracting.

Being located in the town centre, it can get noisy during the night-time hours. Noise from people shouting, horns blowing, and scooters along the street can get chaotic.

It seems that tea and coffee are not always available and not all-inclusive when you make your booking. You receive one cup during breakfast, one cup during morning snack, and one cup during the afternoon meal.
