We enjoyed our stay tremendously

The hotel is luxurious and the service was excellent at meeting our needs with items that aren’t standardly in room. The staff is very friendly. You must try the breakfast buffet. The location is very walkable to the marina castle, restaurants, and the city center.

We stayed one night before taking the ferry to Paros. The room was quiet and comfortable, and they accommodated our wish for an early breakfast. Great location for us: the hotel is a 10 minute walk to the archaeological museum and to many good restaurants, and 5 minutes from the ferry.

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!
