I went thinking it would just be an ordinary place at best but I was delighted to find a very warm welcome, a lovely pool, great hosts in fact the best holiday stay ever. I did n
not want to leave and if I could have booked again straight away I would!
I went away on my own but enjoyed eating out in Amoudara, going to Heraklion, Spinalonga where the leper colony was, Aghious Nikoli
us, where they filmed "The Lotus Eaters" years ago. I managed a very cheap bus ride into Chania to admire the Roman Architecture, an old Turkish bath which is now a very good restaurant, one of my favourites with live music some Sunday afternoons.
The shops in Chania are a must a street it seems for each commodity and a market hall for food,clothes,spices,leather goods well see for yourself before you go for refreshment down on the seafront where you'll be spoilt for choice and views.
I will return Janice Davies

On your arrival you will meet George and Zak!! 2 great guys who will take care of you well. We found this hotel through a last minute deal and we've been back a number of times since! We've even got my husbands parents addicted to the place, as they holiday there every year!!
It's a small, clean hotel. The pool is excellent and for the use of those staying at the imperial only.
They have a pool bar which sells snacks and light meals and good beer!!! Very good price!
The rooms are basic, but that's greece for you! Very clean and tidy, and the guys mum cleans each room daily.
I can promise if you just want a quiet holiday, next to the beach, with good taverna's this is the place to go. George and Zak will take good care of you and tell you a few tales!! Oww and their weekly bbq is worth a try.

The Imperial Hotel. What can I say but fantastic. This is such a lovely place to stay with the most welcoming proprietors ever.
The Hotel: The unfortunate thing about this hotel is its location but this is where the bad news ends. The garden and pool are lovely and in great condition. The rooms are standard (for a Greek island) and all you need. AC as standard in every room, fridge, kitchenette (or a hob to you and me) etc.
The best bit about this set up though are the 2 brothers that run the place (Zak and Georgio) who were unfalteringly friendly, generous and welcoming. On arrival we were greeted with a complimentary drink and introduction (of which they already knew our names).
Throughout our fortnight we were treated to one of their evening meals cooked in the outside stone oven for which I have to say was one of the best meals we had in the entire 2 weeks. Georgio is especially funny and both brothers have fantastic English skills. Their pool side food and drinks are also absolutely great.....cheap too. The tuna jacket was the size of a toddler!
Zak and Georgio's mother cleans the rooms and they were always in immaculate condition.
One minor problem was the music (for which you learn to tune out). As the hotel is situated near a road (NOT as busy road by any means) they play music all the time. Now this is okay but I think their iTunes playlists are very limited. However if you like The Beatles, Abba, Michael Jackson, and Eric Clapton you're in for a treat. Saying that though when you've heard 'Wonderful Tonight' 3 times in a row it starts to make you a little queasy :-)
Apart from that little minor criticism the place is an absolute find and after talking to a few others staying there - many of whom have been going back there for years, everyone seemed to have had a fantastic time.
One last point is about the area though. Ammoudara is not the best place and seems to be geared solely for tourism. The Restaurants/Tavernas are okay but nothing special. I would recommend hiring a car and driving 20 mins to Agia Pelegia for dinner, much more atmospheric (by the beach) and nicer food.
If you do hire a car, Fodele beach and Plake (Nr Elounda) are worth a visit, the latter great for swimming.
Overall this is a fantastic place to stay and we would definitely return!
Hope this helps anyone thinking of booking the Imperial Hotel - Couldn't find anything on this place myself.

i think it may have been even longer than 05 but my son and his fiancee went in 06 on our recommendation and absolutely loved it - George & Zac are brilliant hosts I have been trying to find who is doing the apartments this year as we really want to go back - you could not wish to meet nicer people - my husband ran out of cigars and Zac went into the main shops and bought him some and would not accept payment for them - they really treat their guests like family i would recommend this place to anyone -you could not help but enjoy yourself, clean friendly and all you need a really great holiday - maybe i shouldnt tell people how good they might book then I wont be able too!! George hope you are still supporting Manchester City - HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON
