to get started.

Great room - was upgrade to a huge corner suite. Extremely polite stuff - the hotel’s big asset. Plentiful buffet breakfast.

Harry

Greece

Liked that they had pool options though far less inspiring in real-time than the photos. Breakfast was good - but have to beg multiple times for service if you are the sort to like a coffee in the morning or need glass of soya milk for your dairy free child. But just approach the group of staff all huddled chatting in the corner and keep trying - one may notice you eventually.

United States of America

So central, a great base for sight seeing. Harbor View suite was huge, very reasonable and super comfortable. Staff were very gracious, always going that extra mile to help organize trips or to make our trip more enjoyable.

We were three in our family and the hotel kindly upgraded us to a larger room on the side of the hotel with a view of the port. The room was typical for a city hotel, as well as clean, quiet and comfortable. They have a lovely buffet breakfast with many options. We didn't use the spa, but we did sit upstairs by the pool one day. There are two nice pools in the hotel.

Adrienne

United States of America

Comfy beds, good bathroom amenities, spacious room with nice (partial) view over the Venetian harbour, spacious wardrobe. On top of everything, the friendly and helpful staff, that indicated good restaurants, beach, directions, etc.! The breakfast was generous, tasteful and full of choices of warm and cold meals. Free car parking was a plus! We found the reasonable (short) distance to the restaurants area (where the action happens,) allowing for some walking "siesta" after lunch/dinner, very healthy.

I booked a superior suite with harbor view (if I'm not mistaken), I've been upgraded to a junior suite (thank you!) but no harbor view as seen at the time of the booking applied. There might be only a few rooms with clear harbor view. All rest must have partial harbor view from the one side of the balcony. Ok, not too bad but it would be good to amend this info in Booking.com
Everything was great from the beginning at check in till the end. Thank you :) Staff at the front desk was really helpful and polite!

Didn’t like the location too much, the view was ok towards downtown, but the port view was obstructed by nearby ugly tall buildings. Also tried to take advantage of the spa but they close for a few hours in the middle of the day!! So even tonight the hotel was hosting a 250 member symposium I was not able to book the spa. No movie channels on TV to watch a movie.
Great room - was upgrade to a huge corner suite. Extremely polite stuff - the hotel’s big asset. Plentiful buffet breakfast.

“Look elsewhere - staff will too. ”
- • Business trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights

Very poor reception staff - greeted with frowns (only after I’d managed their attention) and then thrown a form to complete on my own, no instruction, no pen. I was shocked by the lack of service to be honest. Others around but by no means busy. We travel for business and as a family so can compare properties from both perspectives, and spend over 5 months a year in European and middle eastern hotels and this one ranks among the most disappointing. So called harbor view - if you figure out where to look. Much better options exist in Heraklion that we’ve used before and for similar price and even lower star rating we’ve had far superior experience. Frequent travelers to Crete so wanted to check this place out but won’t plan a return and can’t recommend the hotel.

You had to call from the pool up on the top deck for a drink that was ok but each time we ordered cocktails the same 1 they came different think in a 5* the service should be consistent and made to the same standard the second 1 was the best although not very strong any of them . I expect a bit more 5*
The bed was soft and comfortable balcony was nice just dont lock your self out . Nice they help us with the bags all the way to the room. Massarge was ok :)

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms are lovely and clean. Plenty of room. It was great they could give us an interconnecting room as our family required two rooms. I probably was expecting more of a view when they said harbour view. So not worth paying extra for that unless you are on a higher level. The location is close to restaurants and shops Just short walk. It was easy and stress free to hire a car if you want to go exploring. We enjoyed the great buffet breakfast too. So all round the hotel is a get pick while travelling through Crete.

Nothing regarding the hotel. However, the airport is close by and can be rather intrusive though we very soon became accustomed to it. We were not affected by any other 'traffic' as the hotel is in a quiet position.
The genuine care and hospitality of all the staff was exceptional! Courteous, friendly, and always completely professional. The breakfast was excellent. A fantastic choice of cereal, hot food, fresh fruit, cheeses, pastries, lovely fresh bread and preserves - delicious! I could have eaten breakfast all day.....
