The receptionist at the front desk went above and beyond her call of duty. She suggested a day trip to Spinalonga when we didn't have plans for our last day. She was able to get the taxi to bring us to the bus. We went a full day visiting the historical site, a BBQ, swimming, touring the countrywide and cruising the Mediterranean sea. It was a most worthwhile experience. The Kastro Hotel is centrally located, within two blocks of the downtown tourist area. It is also close to the bus lines and museums. The room is spacious and the staff is most helpful. The breakfast is good with the usual items like bread, coffee, eggs and cereal to get the day going.

David Israel

Great location to everything we wanted to see and do in Heraklion. The staff are very warm, friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast is ample and varied (cereals, Cretan rusk with feta, tomatoes and green peppers, bacon, sausage, hard boiled eggs, fresh orange juice, coffee, yogurts, breads). We highly recommend this hotel. There is free parking on the street, which is quite busy and often full of parked cars. The hotel has 2 spots in front, which may be available.

Alison United States of America
