Good access to the airport. Close to the bus to Heraklion. Staff were very helpful. The only wrinkle is that water in the rooms is non-potable so bring your own water.

Local gem

Super close to the airport and was close to where I wanted to be as I was in Crete for a friend's wedding. Pool area was nice with enough sun loungers for October. I stayed in a single room and was a decent size for the little time I spent in there. It had a tiny balcony attached, which I wasn't expecting but was nice to sit outside in the evening and read. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel is very well situated for easy access to the airport. There is onsite parking available and it is close to car rental companies, literally walking distance. There are a couple dining options nearby but not as many as a traveller/tourist would expect.
