It has been a fantastic stay. Hotel completely renovated, with style. And despite the central location (and the very noisy country...), the insonorisation was excellent. Exquisite personnel. I strongly recommend this hotel, without any hesitation. The quality of the work of cleaning personnel should be improved to reach the 5-star standard (they forgot to empty the garbage bin and to clean the mirror in the bathroom). But despite this, the stay in the hotel has been fantastic anyway. |

The bed is really comfortable. The reception desk should have told us that where to buy the bus tickets as there is no signage at the bus stop and we were embarrassed when we got on the bus. |

It was a short stay and had no hiccups. Very friendly staff and the rooms were nice. My wife is not fond of tight spaces and being in the tiny elevator made her uncomfortable. |

Very impressive hotel and very clean. The location is 20 minute walk from the city center and the port, were you can find great tavernas, shops and cafes. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. Wish we would have stayed longer than one night. |

The hotel was clean and well-decorated. A male front desk man was atrocious. He was ingratiatingly polite but then put my mother and me in a room with only a queen bed when I had just explained to him we wanted a double w/ two twins. Furthermore, both times for each new room, he made it sound like it was some kind of special "club suite" when it was clearly not a very good room. It stank of stale cigarette smoke and was located right next to traffic. My mother got about 1 hour of sleep. Oh yes and the bright flashes of light from the smoke detector right above our heads kept us both up as well. In consequence, we were exhausted from a sleepless night. The hotel looked nice but turned out to be terrible in almost every crucial aspect of an enjoyable hotel stay. |

The close proximity of all major historical locations, the ease of travelling to the best parts of Crete make this an ideal base to operate from. The hotel itself with its genuinely friendly and very helpful staff made this a superb holiday |

Nicely designed and clean room (recently renovated), nice bathroom, polite and helpful staff, good room facilities and service, relatively convenient location in the city. In general, the hotel is an excellent value for money. The general impression after we left was very positive. (We were also lucky to get a free upgrading to a suite-type room.) Minor issues: (1) The balcony of our room looked over the pool and the interior of the building, which was somewhat boring. (Other rooms possibly have a better view over the city.) (2) When we arrived in the room there was a subtle smell of humidity, which vanished in a minute or two after we opened the window, and never appeared again (possibly it was due to some temporary malfunctioning of the airco) |

Everything about this hotel was superb. Excellent breakfast buffet, welcoming and well-informed staff who appeared to truly enjoy thier jobs, luxurious little extras that made it all rather special for our 'challenging' group of 5 (kids + couple + senior) It was an excellent way to relax at the beginning of our holiday to Crete. If you need or want to stay in Heraklion, stay here. |
