Souda Studios

nice chilled out 10 day break quiet area but only a short walk into town definitely would return greek night is worth doing

We stayed at Souda at the end of July and had a great week. We love small, friendly hotels and this was just right. Amy made us fee very welcome as soon as we arrived, even though it was late. The room are in a building set back from the pool, so always peaceful. There is a road to one side but it really wasn't ever a problem regarding nose. The rooms are traditional Greek basic rooms, with lovely balconies. The self catering facilities are basic, but we were able to prepare breakfasts and salads for lunch. The food at the bar is tasty and well priced, and there is a coffee bar just to the other side. There is a small supermarket nearby and a big one in the village about 10 minutes walk away. All the distances we were told in minutes took us a bit longer because of the heat and having a five year old with us, but the horse taxis home were great fun! The pool was great, we never had a problem getting a sunbed. It's got a little area for toddlers and a graduated shallow end, although the plinths in the pool took a bit of getting used to. It was always clean and the children spent ages there. There's also a nice shady area with hammocks and swings. The Greek Night was excellent, good food and a great atmosphere. We loved joining in with the dancing and it was great to have this at our hotel and not have to make our way home afterwards. The nearest beach is pebbly but walking on a little further, there were lovely sandy beaches and lots of restaurants to chose from in the village. We especially liked Paradiso on the beach - friendly staff & traditional specials, Zorba's - a super family feel to it, Al Fresco, where we ate on the balcony overlooking the town and they did a great Pasticcio and Nostos, which did the best apple pie in the world (according to our 5 year old!) We had a fantastic time here at Souda and would love to return.

Having booked a relatively late cheap deal we were not expecting too much of these studios.. however we were pleasently surprised by the whole experience. The staff were all very pleasant and efficient, the pool area was very relaxing with ample sunbeds, the bar food was very good and the prices very reasonable. The studios were typically basic but quite spacious and clean. My only gripes are that there is no toaster and no shower curtain. Apart from that f you are looking for a value for money break I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these studios. We will certainly be returning at some point. Ps. If you like a good Greek night @ 10€ pp Including a BBQ you cant go wrong.

bit of a walk to beach BUT was worth it for the peace and tranquility , great pool and bar staffed by lovely people. did nice snacks and lunches and the drinks were reasonably priced also, would def return. nice walk up to katistari

Good little studio. Small but does the job yo sleep there. We were on ground floor. People we met said top floor is better view. Staff are family and so lovely. Had a great Greek night huge pork chop was delicious and a lot of fun with the Greek night dancing and smashing plates. Drinks and food cheap and made fresh.

Basic but ok. Bed alittle uncomfortable. No outside lights working.Very friendly owners and would go back for sure. Maybe needs alittle updating if I was to be picky and not enough sunbeds around the pool.
