Kleine, gepflegte Anlage, macht einen guten, ordentlichen Eindruck. Das Badezimmer hätte eine Renovierung nötig. In der Küche hätten wir uns über eine Kanne gefreut (das ist offenbar in Griechenland kein Standard). Achtung: Klimaanlage kostet extra (6€ am Tag) Personal war sehr freundlich.

5 nights with friends
We loved our stay at Ourania Apartments. Service was great, staff were super friendly and helpful. The apartments we stayed in were slightly older but still fine. We had a lovely big balcony which was amazing. I think there are also newer apartments in the same complex which look much more modern which would be ideal for our next stay. The apartments are only a short walk from the beach and restaurants so location was perfect! Couldnt have been happier in terms of value for money - couldnt believe how little we paid for 5 nights! I would recommend!

Très bel hôtel, bon rapport qualité/prix
Séjour de deux semaines en Crète, dont une passée à Kato Gouves à Ourania Apts. Après un soucis rencontré à l’arrivee, nous avons été logés pour une nuit dans un autre hôtel. Malgré ce petit désagrément, le responsable nous a gentillement relogé pour la suite de notre séjour dans un appartement neuf. Très aimable et souriant, le manager a tjr été à l’écoute. De manière générale, tout s’est très bien passé. Emplacement idéal pour visiter une partie de l’ile et proche de la mer.

Would recommend to a friend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ourania Apartments. The complex is very picturesque with a beautiful pool, the staff are lovely and extremely hospitable, the location is perfect (being less than 5 minuets from the beach and wonderful restaurants), and we especially loved the wild cats that roamed the area. The apartments themselves, although are very basic and fairly bare, are kept very clean and bedsheets and towels are replaced regularly, and have all the basic necessities for comfortable living. There is no real faulting Ourania — although I would say for future guests — be wary of hidden fees for things that seemed to be advertised as included but in fact come at a cost i.e air conditioning, safe, etc.

Mooi opgezet complex. Veel groen, mooie bouwstijl, straalt rust uit. Zowel aan voor als achterkant een zitje, waardoor je altijd kunt kiezen voor zon of schaduw. Appartement is vrij basic. Goed schoon. Goede service en vriendelijk personeel. Eerste dagen heel slecht geslapen door de hardheid vd bedden. Met opdekmatras werd dit beter. Het complex ligt wel wat afgelegen. Directe omgeving vh complex komt wat verwaarloosd over. Complex ligt ook direct onder landingsroute wat wel geluidsoverlast geeft. Ook het geblaf van honden (op afstand) gaat de hele nacht door.

Liked: Room comfort
C'est vrai, c'est pas cher! Mais il faut savoir qu'à 15 kms à droite de l'aéroport, vous aurez un avion au dessus de vos têtes toutes les minutes...Peut-être n'étions pas dans le meilleur appartement, il était impossible de rester sur le balconnet puisque nous avions la fenêtre de la salle de bain et...toilettes de nos voisins juste à côté et un autre balconnet à 2 mètres. La promiscuité nous a beaucoup dérangé. Sinon, le personnel est très sympathique.

Great family spot. Big rooms for Europe
It was perfect for a family of 5. The price was right. The staff was always there when we needed anything. Plus they had security at night, but you didn’t feel as if you needed it.
