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!

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streets of shopping and food… Parking is on-site in an uncovered lot… The rooms were tall and large, although a tad outdated… We’ve stayed here on one other occasion and felt it was the right choice for our visit…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