Excellent hotel in the heart of the city. Staff immediately greeted us to help us unload our luggage and park our car. The room was very well furnished and the shower was amazing. Nice balcony off our room. The rooftop pool is a nice touch. We saw other guests order food and drinks to their lounge chairs with a phone that calls the kitchen from the roof deck.

Christopher United States of America

Nice hotel with great views from the room. The roof top swimming pool was great. Very close to the airport and walking distance to the port to take ferry to other islands. We did not try the breakfast so can't comment on that. Very close, 3 blocks, to the anthropology museum.

Luis United States of America

Our dinner was amazing, and very romantic. Walking distance to old Town. The pool on the roof and gym were great.

J United States of America

The staff's behaviour was excellent. Room service was decent and the breakfast spread was amazing. Room was equipped with a coffee machine and coffee shots (loved that). Sea View from the balcony was as promised. The bathrooms were quite spacious.

Dipannita India

Breakfast provided. Staff very helpful and friendly

Robert United States of America

The staff was top notch - so accommodating. Breakfast was terrific and the staff even put together a nice breakfast box for us the morning we left early. Bed was super comfy. Room was spacious. View was great. Shower temp and pressure perfect. Every amenity possible was offered. Well located for visiting all of Iraklio's sights. This hotel goes above and beyond.

Anne United States of America

The location is great as you can walk to it from the port and also walk to town. The room was clean and the lobby looked grand and luxurious but the room was just ok. Nothing fancy or special about it. I didn’t buy their breakfast so can’t comment on it.

Genevieve Canada

Comfortable bed, tv with BBC, plentiful breakfast, helpful staff at Reception.

Susan Canada

Friendly and supporting staff, nice hotel close to center and the sea
