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.

Everything about hotel was 5 star , rooms , amenities , staff , location . Literally boutique hotel close to everything. Only draw back was we stayed Saturday with our room facing water , bar next door blasting music till 4 am . Thought it was odd that they included ear plugs in their welcome amenities. Once again , property and staff amazing . Just do not book a room on that side of hotel on a Friday/ Saturday night .

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.

We booked here for an overnight as we were awaiting our ferry. The hotel is new and clean and the staff is professional and helpful. However, some rooms (including the one we were given) are not sufficiently insulated against internal and external noise. Ours was located on the mezzanine floor directly next to the breakfast restaurant with our room door directly across from the service station. In addition, there was a party next to the hotel until late into the night. Between the two, we could only manage a few hours sleep between 3am and 7am.

New hotel so very clean and new, the hotel is on a busy road so a lot of road noise during the night but that did not bother us. We had breakfast, which had a good selection, but could do with more tea options, rooftop pool was great after a busy day exploring
