    Glazing early season value for money holiday.

    rating18 May 2026

    We arrived very early in season and were given a fantastic family room just a few steps up from the swimming pool. The Hotel looks out over bay and is designed beautifully for that and respect. The room was spacious and had great air-conditioning. The pool is nice and new and clean. The are very friendly. The food is okay, but could’ve been a little bit more exciting for a four star hotel. The free drinks were the usual local brands andall other drinks were at the usual bar prices.The one thing I can say is that there is not an awful lot else around hotel to do. It’s a very small village with just a short sea front with a few bars and restaurants. The water is crystal clear Prince of the beaches a short walk away over The hills are beautiful too.I would recommend getting a hire car and travelling east and west of the island to see some of the most beautiful beaches.

    Lovely place with amazing staff

    rating09 May 2026

    After reading the reviews we had planned to eat out a few times but in the end the food was good. A good selection of hot food, plenty of fresh salad and superb desserts. Special thanks to Eva and Ibrahim who kept us supplied with drinks and were always smiling. You can get fresh pizza from the bar until 6 and it was always freshly made. If there was none left a quick phone call and someone prepared fresh ones ready in a few minutes. As per previous reviews sunbed availability can be an issue although we always found space but the lovely beach is a 5 min walk away. Would recommend

    rating07 Nov 2025

    Came to this hotel Solo for my 60th Birthday, the hotel was lovely and clean, the cleaners were really friendly, the bar staff lovely, the Manager couldn’t do enough for you! The pool was relaxing, the beach was close by. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay for my 60th birthday.

    Fab little hidden gem .

    rating18 Oct 2025

    We arrived after midnight and was greeted with a 70 euro tourist tax charge which is a lot of a 3 star hotel. We paid and as there was 7 of us we paid 4 lots of 70 euros as we had 4 rooms between us. We then went to our rooms after a trek up and down lots of steps. Our room was very clean on arrival with lovely white sheets and bedding. Two of us were staying in our room and to our delight there was four beds in two rooms therefore we had our own room each with wardrobes and a lot of storage and floor space. A small balcony but was nice. The pool area is well kept and clean with plenty of sunbeds if you like to relax. Bar was lovely with very attentive staff who really do go above and beyond to make your stay a happy one. FOOD ; All inclusive menu that was ok, breakfast was my favourite time as served lots of fresh fruits , fresh baked breads and waffles with a wonderful continental feel. There was a hot option too with eggs , sausages , toast , beans etc however I did not try these. Fresh fruit juices and water along with hot drinks. Lunch was served daily however did not try this. Fresh pizzas baked daily in a fabulous outdoor pizza over at the pool bar with fresh drinks flowing too. Ice cream and cakes there too. Evening meals were different themes over 7 days however not a lot of traditional Greek foods. No souvlaki which was a disappointment. They did a gyros night however it was not the best. There was spaghetti bologniese served each evening which was nice. Not a good menu for kids however chips served daily. Staff work so hard to make the stay memorable as possible and always have a smile and ready for a chat. The local area is stunning with amazing beaches which are small but typical greek. Lots of tavernas and shops along the front. Lots of quaint little villages with the friendliest of locals. There is a little church on the beach path too which has a seated area by it making it a lovely spot to sit and watch the world go by.A bus stop outside the hotel costing 4 euros per person to go into Hereklion town centre where you can catch others buses to other destinatons. Over all Alexander House Hotel is a lovely little place however it is not good for ones with poor mobility due to lots of steps and very steep ramps. Crete is amazing in every way with a lot of happy people.

    Fantastic holiday

    rating13 Oct 2025

    We had a lovely week here early October. The rooms do vary and we changed rooms due to my husband's mobility issues. However we had lovely rooms with an amazing sea/town view. There is a fridge but no kettle so we took our own travel kettle. We were near the bar so could hear the music and chatting but it wasn't disturbing. The food and drink was very good (lovely salad) and the staff work hard to please. I loved the pool and didn't find it cold at all. The beautiful, traditional village and beach of Agia Pelagia iare only 5 minutes away.We visited a beautiful restaurant very close to the hotel which was amazing.There are alot of steps in the hotel which can be an issue to the not so mobile..A big bonus for me was how the villagers cared for their animals.We are hoping to return as we just loved this little place.
