Truly 5 Star

On arriving at the hotel we were warmly welcomed. The staff are professional and friendly and we were upgraded to a beautiful sea view room. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice in a room overlooking the sea. The staff were helpful and friendly as usual.

I'm not sure how this hotel gets a 5 star rating, but it was a perfectly adequate 4 star. Our "junior suite" was a room with a sofa and a desk, with the smallest bathroom. The hotel was renovated in 2003 and feels both dated and a bit tatty by now. The location is fine but you are basically on a roundabout next to the bus station overlooking the ferry port, so not exactly atmospheric.

Top stay in Heraklion

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel offers a fantastic Cretan breakfast with local delicacies and fresh honeycomb that really set the tone for each day. The location is superb—just a 10-minute drive from the airport, right by the ferry, and only a short walk from great local restaurants. The rooftop pool and restaurant were a highlight, offering beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. Our room had a comfy bed and a spacious shower, making it extra comfortable. Free parking was another big plus for convenience - as was the friendly staff. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect base in Crete!

A nice hotel convenient to the port if you’re taking off from there… Very close to the main streets of shopping and food… Parking is on-site in an uncovered lot… The rooms were tall and large, although a tad outdated… We’ve stayed here on one other occasion and felt it was the right choice for our visit…
