Great hotel in the best location possible, the ocean is your pool. Staff are fantastic, understated, helpful, friendly. Room was a junior sea facing suite, loved it especially the balcony with glass railing. Breakfast had an extensive choice, everything was very tasty.

Wonderful stay at the El Greco Boutique Hotel
I stayed at the El Greco for my birthday celebrations and the hospitality far exceeded my expectations, I travel regularly Andy have stayed in many hotels around the world and can honestly say that my stay at El Greco was a wonderful experience and one I shall never forget. One of the best boutique hotels I have stayed in.

Excellent hotel.Excellent staff. Excellent room.
We spent only two nights in this beautiful hotel in the center of the Ierapetra. The room was with sea view, stylish and very clean, lovely size bathroom. The staff at the hotel was wonderful. We would like to say special thanks to Athena and Giorgos. We will sure to come again and we certainly recommend this hotel.

Well appointed, boutique hotel....
Well located hotel on the sea front in Ierapetra. Boutique hotel, friendly staff and well appointed rooms. We paid a little bit extra for a sea view room which did not disappoint. Overall a nice hotel for a 4 night stay. Not too many amenities so not sure would suit a longer stay but perfect for a short break.

We stayed for 2 nights as it was our Wedding Anniversary. The hotel was OK but our room was noisy as it faced the main through road from the town. We weren't overly impressed with Ierapetra and wouldn't rush back there again.

Relaxing, convenient place
I found the hotel a lovely place to spend a few days. Sea views were great and love watching the people on the promenade. The breakfast was good with a variety of items and a coffee bar. It was SO nice to be close enough to shops, restaurants and the few tourist sites found in downtown area. I would stay here again. I gave it 4 stars for cleanliness as I found hairs in a few different places - but that may just be a fluke for that day as the room did seem to be well kept otherwise.
