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

Gottfried Austria

I like the view. I like the restaurant I like the reception

Irina Romania

Everything. The facilities, staff, location and services were great. It was also a very good value in the heart of Heraklion.

Peter United States of America

Everything was just like I expected. Clean, comfortable, well appointed room. Good amenities, excellent coffee machine. Good breakfast.

Yyznyc Canada

The location is central and the free parking nearby was great! The staff was very accommodating and the room was very comfortable. This was the most upscale hotel we stayed in, very opulent. The AC actually came from within the walls, rather than a wall or window unit. The shower had a rain effect and a hand-held faucet--all with good pressure. There was a coffee maker with actual coffee in the room. All other hotels we stayed at had coffee makers but no coffee available. The sheets, balcony, temperature, and noise level were all pleasant.

Tarasphere United States of America

Everyone was happy to help and make our stay comfortable. Staff was great! The room was clean, well appointed and big enough.

Theodosia United States of America

I did like the lobby and the location! It’s very close to the town! But the room is very simple, the beds not comfy at all!
