Tonony Croatia

I liked the room size and the room with touches of character that stop it being utilitarian. The location was excellent though the centre of town was a short walk up hill. Staff at breakfast especially, and throughout, were cheery and helpful.

Good location and wonderful breakfast buffet, friendly staff who helped with restaurant recommendations.

The location is near the ferry port, bus station, and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum...all within a walkable distance.
