Lovely, quiet, family-run business with a relaxing pool area. The accommodation is well located, close to tavernas and just a couple of minutes to the beach. The staff are wonderfully hospitable and were very accommodating to our needs during our stay. The cleaning lady was especially helpful - so kind and always had a smile on her face. Would definitely recommend - and return - to Nicolas Studios & Apartments.

Excellent Accommodation Central in Agia Marina
Excellent accommodation, very central in Agia Marina, close to beach, shops and tavernas. Standard is basic, but perfectly adequate. Family run, and they take great pride that their guests are satisfied. Everything immaculately maintained and cleaned daily to a very high standard. Highly recommend staying here for a reasonable standard at a good price. On premises parking is limited, with only 2 spaces and 8 apartments.

Recommended: but couples advised to read reviews!
Good for: Price, private-ish location, closeness to bars, restaurants, beach, transport links. Pleasant garden/pool area. Nice owners who are helpful. Could be better: Studio room was small and had little to no storage space. Tiny, cramped shower with either cold or scalding hot water. Sandwiched in between noisy family rooms.

Go stay and enjoy !
Had a brilliant stay,arrived too early for our room but was given nescafe and cake then went to have a look around outside,Nicholas is up a side road but very close to the resort,turn left at the main road and go to the Atlas supermarket you will get everything you need there., we had a balcony that has an adjustable sun blind with a table and two chairs and a screen that separates the apartments,a washing airer was over the balcony with pegs which was handy,a lovely sized pool with sunbeds and umbrellas and a lovely little garden with coloured lighting. Our studio had a double bed with kitchenette and in the bathroom the normal shower tray squashed in by the toilet which is normal in Greece,we had to pop up the shower head by using the lid of the deodorant as the hook was floppy but hey no problem. It was all kept so clean and the towels were replaced frequently and they had a lovely fresh smell as did the bed sheets,my only gripe is I don't agree in paying for a safe €10,they should be included,we also didn't pay for AC. The bus for Chania is on the main road outside as are the taxi ranks,the Wi Fi is free and good at the studio so thank you....we would recommend Nicholas and stay here again.

Friendly apartment complex with small pool
Nice little apartment complex. Very friendly owner. However, the pool is small and can get crowded even though there are very few apartments in the building. There is an extra charge for the air condition, which we found surprising as the other guests did not have to pay separately for this. Not sure if this was because we booked through Hotels.com and they don't have an agreement for air condition. In addition the air condition was very noisy making it difficult to sleep with it on.

Great value friendly place
This was a lastinute, out of season break chosen on price and location. The apartments were excellent value for money - and extremely quiet and peaceful. Within a day of booking the owner, Stelios, had emailed to say hello, and to let us know the pool would be out of action for winter. Not a problem at all, but his communicating that information was an indication of how seriously he takes his job. If you want luxury go elsewhere, but if you want good value, clean, tidy, well located, and friendly holiday apartments then your money would be well spent here.

Small and beautiful property
With 8 letting studios and plenty of space it's a gem. The owners keep the place immaculate, the rear garden is a wonderful quiet retreat. The location is perfect being off the main street but 400m from the beach, 50m from a handy mini supermarket and 50m from a selection of restaraunts with loads more close by. Loved this place and great value

Basic room, good for a night or a week
The room was fine. I had some trouble finding the place. If you arrive in Chania airport take the bus to Chania central bus station, then another bus to Agia Marina, ask for bus stop #16. I arrived late and it looked like reception was closed. I phoned and the manager came down. Bus to town is €1.60. One day had an early tour (7:00 am) and the front gate was locked. Fortunately the front wall was low enough to climb over. Only saw the manager again when I left. WIFI was good about 90% of the time.

Fantastiske værter og god beliggenhed
Beliggenheden er god, meget tæt på strand, transport og indkøb. Der bliver gjort rent hver dag, skiftning af håndklæder m.m. hver anden dag. Fantastik værter (mand og kone) altid glad og er klar til at hjælpe med alt, en følelse af at være i hjemlige omgivelser. Det eneste mindre god ting er små og / eller fælles udendørs altaner.

L’endroit est bien, propre, une mignonne petite piscine et bien situé. Par contre, on nous a chargé 6,50 euro supplémentaire simplement pour avoir l’air climatisé ... alors qu’il n’est rien écrit sur le site (le frais supplémentaire) et même indiqué que l’air clim. est incluse. Il n’y a aucune bouteille d’eau à même la chambre ... et le lit est très peu confortable. Bref, nous n’y avons passé qu’une nuit et c’est suffisant.

Värdparet var helt underbara, försökte göra vistelsen bra för oss men en AC som dånade och kyl, sängarna stenhårda och en väg vägg i vägg med vårt rum samt ett hotell över den lilla gatan som förde ett himla väsen. Ägaren klagade hos detta hotell så det blev bättre. Men en mkt fin baksida med fin pool och sol/relax möjlighet. Tillgång till wc/dusch på baksidan, ett stort pluss.

Good and friendly staff, room was cleaned and bed made every day. Good location near the tourist street and beach. Pool was clean but little small for adults, great for children. Room was a little worn out, but overall it was very nice. Main complain goes to noisy AC, I needed earplugs to have good sleep while the machine was on. Also it is good to know that AC costs extra and is controlled by little key that is attached to room key (in a welded ring, so they cannot be separated without pliers). AC only works when key is in place, so if you leave the room and take your keys with you, the AC will stop. So after a long day at hiking, the room can be hot, damp or cold depending the weather, because the AC cannot be ON while you are away. This could be improved, more comfort over economy for the customer :) But overall a great place and would recommend. Only real negative thing is noisy AC and the usage limitation.

Dear anonymous guest. Thank you for staying with us and for your kind review and recommendation. I would like to comment 2-3 points. The pool size is proportionate and depends of the accommodations capacity. Some other quests have find the pool big enough. The extra charge of the A/C is state clear on the booking page. Finally in no one accommodation the a/c is working continuousness without the guests presence. Again, thank you for giving us the feedback as it allows to make changes where possible to improve guest satisfaction.

Små rena och trivsamma rum, det ända vi har att anmärka på är sängarna som behöver madrasser, detta är tyvärr rätt vanligt på många ställen i Grekland. Härligt pool område med solstolar. Super bra läge till affärer, tavernor och busshållplats. Vi trivs jätte bra med det trevliga värdparet Polly och Stellios, tredje gången vi besöker Nicolas studios o Apartm.
