My boyfriend and I stayed at Akti Olous last September for a friend's wedding. We did not want to spend the prices of some of the other hotels in and around Elounda so we picked Akti Olous. What a bargain and what a find! It was definitely the best value hotel I have ever stayed in. Clean, quiet, with amazing... More

If you are lucky enough to have a room in the new modernized part - great - if like us - you pay over the odds to be roomed next door to the staff quarters! - in a room with 'a NASTY' garden view (check out the picture) and a toilet that smells NASTY too of urine - unlucky! every... More

Lovely family run hotel. Very welcoming and helpful. I notice previous comments regarding breakfasts being a bit poor but I can say that they cater for a wide variety of tastes (and the new toaster is brill!). Only negative comment is that sometimes the hot food wasn't - but that apart from that no complaints. I ate in their restaurant... More

Not a 4 Star - does not pretend to be - so if you're looking for "bells and whistles" - don't bother but if you are looking for a perfect 3 star hotel (where your bed linen is changed every day) this is the place for you as the Akti Olous is exactly what it says it is. I had... More

To shame the sinners and praise those that make your holiday an unforgetable experience. So, what of the Akti? Having read some of the reviews before our trip we were inclined to find alternative accommodation. However, we're... More

Some times one is saddened when reading such a mix of reviews and it makes you wonder was I actually in the same hotel as these people.... Right gloves off here goes Akti Olous not a five star hotel never claimed to be and never tried to be in My eleven years..... Clean rooms good food on a budget or... More

Hotel is in a lovely part of Elounda, excellent views and facilities. Roof top pool and Sky bar give brilliant views of the town and the Island of Spinalonga. Our rooms were adequate, clean and serviced every day. We thought the air conditioning was expensive - 6 euros a day so we opened our windows and let the sea breeze... More

My husband and I have just returned from a fabulous two weeks in the Akti Olous hotel in Elounda Crete.The staff were very helpful from day one and nothing was too much trouble. The maid tidied our rooms every day and sheets and towels were changed every two days. The room had a small balcony which overlooked the bay. The... More
