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!

Outstanding location with stunning views. Walkable to town and perfectly located if planning to take a ferry. The pool is at the top level with a breathtaking view but the water was a bit cold. Planning to come back and stay at this hotel again. Perfect for families

The staff was amazing, the breakfast buffet was way above expectations and 5 star quality. I was sad to leave, truly wished we had more time. If we ever come back to Crete we will stay at the Megaron.

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streets of shopping and food… Parking is on-site in an uncovered lot… The rooms were tall and large, although a tad outdated… We’ve stayed here on one other occasion and felt it was the right choice for our visit…

Hotel in a historic building in Heraklion. If you're looking for a place with all the modern amenities, this is not it. But it's clean and comfortable if you don't need all the bells and whistles.
