Friendly good hotel

We booked this hotel so we had an easy walk to the Santorini ferry port. The hotel seems to imply that there is parking but parking throughout Heraklion is a nightmare.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-day stay. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were all very friendly. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city centre, which was very convenient. All in all, we would definitely stay here again!

ONE APPALLING ROOM, ONE GOOD ROOM

4.0

Arrived late evening with a pre booked room that had a balcony and city view. Immediately discovered it had neither. The "balcony" was a bricked up internal corridor with fully enclosed windows and iron bars across the windows for security and full curtains for privacy (see photos). No view. No natural light in room. The night staff were fully aware of this and were sympathetic and apologised but said we needed to speak to someone next day about changing room. Next morning we were given a change of room. No apology however, just told we had booked the room and there was no interest when we showed the booking that promised a balcony and city view. The new room was good. Would stay here again is we were guaranteed not to be in a room similar to the first one. IF YOU BOOK HERE INSIST YOU ARE NOT PUT IN ROOMS 111 OR 112.

Fabulous hotel

I only ended up in Heraklion because of circumstances beyond my control BUT I could not have chosen a better hotel. Very clean and comfortable it is within easy walking distance of the city centre, Venetian walls, port, bus station and city buses. But the best thing about this hotel is the lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for me and I appreciated it. It’s also very safe for a solo female visitor. And has a cute cat 🐱 Highly recommend

Pleasant hotel in a good location.

We only stayed here for one night, but were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We chose it because it is within walking distance of the ferry port. The check in went smoothly, the staff were helpful. Our room was clean, had a big comfortable bed, balcony, fridge and aircon. The room overlooked the road, but we didn't notice any traffic noise. Breakfast was a good buffet selection. In terms of location, the hotel is around a 15 minute walk to the centre of Iraklion and its bars and restaurants. We would certainly stay here again.

Clean room, AC worked well and bed was comfy. Close to the port for catching ferry early and walkable to old town. We didn’t have the breakfast as we left too early, but it was available for 10 euro per person
