Clean room, no parking but we were aware of that as free parking is offered at the mall next door. Clean room and a few restaurants near by, nice but small roof top pool and lounge. Good for shorter stays and close to the port.

This is a very nice, new and modern hotel. The breakfast every morning is very good and contains a lot of options and variety of food. We arrived early in the morning on our check-in day, and the staff was incredibly friendly and got our room together as soon as possible for check-in a bit before the standard time. Nice view from the sea-facing side of the hotel and only about a 20 minute walk to Heraklion center with a lot of restaurants, shopping, souvenirs, etc. Overall, this was a great stay.

The hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were lovely, and the beds were comfortable. The view from our balcony was amazing! It was conveniently located across the street from a mall that had plenty of options for food. The breakfast at the hotel was very good. Most importantly, the staff was phenomenal! Everyone was so courteous and helpful, which made our stay incredibly enjoyable! The only drawback was that there was no close access to a beach across the street, but they had a gorgeous infinity pool on the rooftop. The weather was not suitable for swimming the day we stayed there so not having access to beach did not affect our plans.

Fantastic staff that go above and beyond to provide a memorable stay for their guests. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated with amazing sea views from the balcony. The main road below isn’t ideal but, also not a deal breaker. Street noise is manageable and location right outside the old Venetian city walls is perfect for beaches/dining/shopping. The rooftop pool is one of the best I’ve seen, stunning views and sun coverage. Breakfast was well varied every morning and always tasty and fresh.

The hotel rooftop pool and location were great. Restaurants were within walking distance. The hotel is in an ideal location; however, the rooms are not fully insulated, so you can hear street noise at night. The front desk staff were okay and didn’t provide a full 5-star service experience. Overall, the visit was okay, but I am not sure if I would select this hotel again.
