What guests think

At Lato Boutique Hotel, travelers praise the central, port-side location and harbor views, frequently calling out friendly, professional staff and a generous breakfast, while noting an older building with quirky elevators, off site parking, and some dated or small rooms.

The setting is highly walkable for the old town and ferries, though aircraft or street noise can be heard in some rooms. While many find it clean, others report maintenance or hygiene issues like leaking showers, musty bathrooms, or pests, and occasional lapses in problem follow up. Expect a convenient city base suited to short stays and ferry connections rather than a full-service resort.

Convenient spot to spend a night really close to the airport. Excellent breakfast buffet! Free parking was 2 mins walk in the city port and convenient. Room can get noisy because lots of cars passing in the main road. Palace of Knossos was a few mins drive

We used this hotel just for one night while travelling from Heraklion to Chania. Everything was what we needed, including a restaurant open to midnight and an excellent breakfast. Parking is at the port (half-mile away) but this was easily accessible and convenient to use. Good choice!

A very good place to stay with a nice view of the port. We stayed twice on our travels to Crete. Parking is the only big issue. The site says it has parking but it’s not on site. It’s either at the port or in a public garage. Both are about 500-600 meters away. Difficult if you are handicaped.

The floor in my room was sticky to my bare feet. The weird little elevator closed on my hand and scratched me. The employee who was just standing there inside the elevator said it wouldn't go up, so I went to get out, and the doors closed fast again - this time bumping my shoulders. Pro tip - the bathroom light switch is opposite the bathroom door with the other light switches. Wasted about 5 minutes on that one. The lobby has a weird/choppy layout. Poorly designed and poorly maintained.

Nice enough place with easy walking into shopping and dining areas. Clean. Nice room and balcony. One of the things that I searched on was parking included and it’s not really. It’s on an incredibly busy street where you can’t even stop and parking is in a lot around the corner and cost about €22 for two nights.

The breakfast was quite fantastic. Menues varys day by day. I thought the services and rooms were good untill I found the roaches. The first time was infromt of our room, but it was okay and they got rid of it very quick. But the second one was found on the floor at breakfast corner. Besides the roach problem, everything was good.

The staff was helpful and the sack lunch they gave us when we left before the breakfast was available was much appreciated. However the hotel is in need of a refresh. The pictures of it were accurate, maybe 5 or more years ago? Everything was a bit worn and dingy. So marks on the wall, the bed just at the edge of still comfortable, pillows that were on their way out, the towels thin and skimpy, and so on. It was an okay place to stay for the night, and our view was lovely, but don't expect what you see in the pictures.

When we arrived for our reservation for our stay at this hotel we were informed unfortunately that the air conditioning had broken down and was not going to be repaired for 3 days. The hotel was incredibly accommodating and had arranged for us to be transported to another nearby hotel with an upgrade to a suite. They held our luggage as we had arranged a tour right after our check in and then transported us to the new hotel which was nearby and centrally located. So unfortunately we didn’t get to stay here but it looks so cute and the staff was incredibly gracious.

Very good hotel, and friendly staff. Vi booked a superior room with seaview. But you could not see the sea from the room, but if you went out on the balcony og look to the right, then you could ser the sea. I was told that this was the correct room. In that case - the seaview - I would say is oversold. However we got another room the next day, with correct seaview. The balcony here was very very small. All in all a good stay. The top bar/restaurent has a fantastic view.

Spiro said that's the way it is.Poor service. Manager was good.
