The Coral hotel is a large hotel freqented by tour companies. Whilst it appears unattractive from the exterior the room we stayed in was in good decorative order and had a modern bathroom. The dining area was also modern. The pool area and terrace are well situated but a little dated.
A good range of food was offered at breakfast but the hot buffet was not hot. What we could not understand was why in a country where oranges are so plentiful and cheap, artificial fruit juices were on offer. Jam also was cheap and nasty. The hotel really should try to source the excellent and good value local produce.
On the basis of breakfast we did not take any other meals but there is plenty of choice within easy walking distance.
The staff are very friendly and overall this is a good value hotel in a central location. Make sure you ask for a room on a high floor {5, 6 & 7}.

We stayed one week in middle August.
Very nice city, many shops, restaurant and bars.

The Hotel doesn't have a private beach (the one in the photos is of the near Hermes Hotel, you have to pay to go there).

Nice pool, but impossible to stay there. All tables and sunbeds are always occupied by towels of German people who is never there...

The rooms are clean but the maid always arrived not before 2 o' clock. If you want to sleep and relax it's impossible because they knock on the door even if you put the cartel "don't disturb"

The buffet is various, during a week there were plates from all over the world and always greek salades and cakes.

All the evenings there is something organized, such as musing, parties and traditional greek shows.

In total good hotel for a good price in all inclusive treatment.
Nice room, good food and good location, 5 minutes walk to the centre.

Beaches at Aghios Nikolaos are not very good, go to other cities!

Good bye!!

p.s.
Pay attention parking your car, it's easy to get fines!!!

This is a lovely hotel, nicely appointed, clean and provides immaculate service.

The breakfast is nicely presented and there is planty of variety. (The OJ is a bit watery though).

Try to get a room with a sea view if you can. Floors 5,6,and 7 are the best.

There aren't enough sunbeds to go round, especially as there is little done to discourage people reserving then as early as 7 a.m., well before breakfast, and not then using then until several hours later - shame on the hotel for allowing this.

Would definitely return here

My friend and I stayed at the Coral Hotel for a week in July 2006. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and the hotel was very clean and hospitable. We stayed on an all inclusive basis but ate out too. The food in the hotel was average although there was always plenty of it. I can definately recommend the 9 Muses restaurant in the main town (3 Akti Themistokleous Str) it is the best restaurant in town although only open from 6.30pm onwards, worth it though, fab. If I have one criticism it is that there are not enough sundbeds at the hotel, people were putting towels on sunbeds early and not using the facitlity all day. There is a beach across the road with a 7.5 euro charge per day. AG is not a rowdy town but very laid back. The lake is fantastic and having some cocktails in the early evening is what needs to be done. All in all we had a lovely holiday, the weather was amazing. I would like to visit the Chania area of Crete next as its meant to be beautiful. Happy holidays.
