That’s the best hotel we ever stayed at. The rooms are very well designed and they were cleaned every day along with changing towels. In the room, you can find flip-flops, vanity sets, shower gel, and hair shampoo (refilled every day). You can also borrow a beach towel and umbrella to take it to the beach. The hotel itself is not very big so we enjoyed an excellent peace during the entire stay. Breakfasts were very delicious and they varied every day. We were leaving the hotel very early (before working hours). When I asked the night before where to put the door card, the hotel staff was so kind to propose to me a breakfast packed to go. The hotel is in the calmer area of Kissamos, far away from the noisy road but still very close to the supermarket (like a 4 min walk), to the beach and to the all restaurants as well.

The neighborhood seems a little unmaintained, but that's totally not the hotel's responsibility.

Everything was perfect about this hotel. It was very clean and even the perfume of the lobby and rooms smelled amazing. The location is perfect, 5min walking to the beach, and very close to all the delicious restaurants. You also have a supermarket at 250m. The breakfast was good as well, and it was different everyday. The pool is very quiet and very relaxing to chill after a long day. You will be able to order some fresh drinks including cocktails ;)

Nothing

The experience with this small hotel in Kissamos was way over any expectations. The building, though not happily located (area still under construction) looks modern and brand new. The room was spacious, super luminous, perfectly clean and equipped with all amenities, including a pleasant see view. The breakfast was abundant and varied, with many options also for lactose intolerants like me. Taking aside all these positive aspects, the real plus of this accommodation is the amazing staff, from the cleaning ladies to the breakfast staff to the very kind reception girls, Sofia and Fiorela. Everyone was always ready to help and make my stay as perfect as possible. At Kallistefan Hotel, it really feels like home.

The hotel is located in an area of Kissamos which is still under construction but this is a minor issue compared to all the positive aspects that you can enjoy there

Aside from the super friendly staff and heart warming breakfast, everything about the location is very well designed, a lot of attention went into the interior design and the materials used in the finishes. About the breakfast - it was a delight, rich and really tasty; we stayed three days and enjoyed a bit of variety every day. Also I really enjoyed the extra espresso included in the menu apart from the regular coffee. Definitely on our shortlist for a future travel in Crete and I wholeheartedly reccomend them! The proximity to Balos, Elafonosi and Falasarna beaches makes this boutique hotel a perfect choice rather than driving all the way from Chania.

Kallistefan is a hidden gem in Kissamos, a vegeta place to spend some relaxed days near the most beautiful beaches in Crete 😍 it should be almost new, and the rooms are super clean and comfy! The pool is amazing, the breakfast delicious and abundant and the staff couldn’t be nicer ❤️ We are planning to come back in June to Crete and for sure we will come back here!

Everything was perfect!

It was quite clean and contemporary, looking too cold for our taste. Rooms were fully renovated but without any extra plugs. Breakfast was sufficient but you had to pay for every extra coffee.

It was a family run hotel and the owner was near the swimming pool all the time kinda watching the stuff, making it look like the old Greek managerial style. Usually small family run hotels are much warmer and more welcoming.

We stayed 3 nights at Kallistefan and we got very satisfied of the hotel and the service. The hotel is totally new, clean rooms, with quality equipments, a beautiful terrace with a swimming pool and some deckchairs. The breakfast is good and complete with a variety of products. A special thanks to Sofia who has been so kind during our entire stay. On our arrival, we explained that we were going to miss the breakfast the day after as we had to leave very early for Samaria hiking, and Sofia directly proposed us to prepare a box with bread, ham, cheese, cake... Even if we informed her last minute, she took time to prepare everything with care, what we appreciated a lot. We recommand this hotel if you plan to stay in Kissamos (especially if you want to visit Elafonissi, Falassarna or Balos beaches) Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderful, peaceful week at Kallistefan. It's a new hotel in its second season so all the facilities are superb. What sets the hotel apart are the people. The small team provide the highest levels of service from reception, cleaning, catering and management. Lots of delicious choices for breakfast. The location is great too: just a few minutes from the beach (although the pool is lovely) and Kissamos town centre, and yet the hotel is quiet and peaceful.

We loved everything.

Good selection of products for breakfast, very clean rooms, friendly staff, possibility to borrow in umbrella to the beach. Good location if you want to drive to Chania, Falasarna or Elafonisi.

Not really about the property itself, but some guests are annoying when they start smoking if you are still eating in the table next to them.

Nice welcome with a list of locations to visit and restaurants to try. Really useful. Parking. Close to the restaurants and city center. Breakfast with Greek specialties. Umbrella can be borrowed

Really noisy fridge, and if you unplug it, there is a water leak from the ice melt. Walk-in shower badly designed and the floor can be easily watered.
