Absolutely live this hotel. It exceeded our expectations. Very modern room with everything you can think of there. Stuff is super caring, friendly and helpful. In any time of day or night they give the most profound advise and info. The most plentiful breakfast with Greek and European cousin. Very conveniently located walking distance everywhere.

The location is spot on being only 10-15 minute walk from the bus station and the ferries. On top of this, the staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. Especially the lady at the front desk who was not only there to greet us when we arrived in the mid-afternoon, but also when we came back from a few errands in the early evening and again as we got up to have breakfast and check-out before we left for the ferry. That woman must work around the clock!! Efcharisto poli!

Staff was very helpful.and friendly. The breakfast was excellent - especially since they offered the local pastry - bougatsa, a custard filled filo specialty of the area. Also, fresh squeezed juices. Thank you, Kastro, this was my third stay here and I will continue ciming back.

This hotel is "cleverly situated" in the Old (inner) Town of Heraklion and is conveniently located to essentially everything worth seeing. For travelers with rental vehicles, a 7-euro/day secure parking garage is close nearby...a BIG plus where parking is otherwise a serious challenge. The hotel, and especially the staff, are simply fantastic! The amenities (bathroom, audiovisual, living space) are fully modern and designed for comfort without killing one's budget. The breakfast buffet (included in the price) is outstanding. Thank you Margareta! Finally, I can not say enough about reception, and very specifically, Tasos. There is NOTHING he can not provide useful insights into, as well as help in all matters related to a guest's comfort while staying at Kastro. Kudos!!! I would absolutely stay here again, without hesitation. In fact, I was so impressed during my stay that I recommended this property to several others I met while out and about. Thank you again!

“Passable, central hotel but in a noisy spot”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The property’s location meant it was noisy and very hard to sleep - it is directly below a flight path so there is the noise of planes until midnight and starting at 630am on the dot. When we stayed there were also dogs barking relentlessly for a 20 min period from just before 5am and we were woken by noise in the street at 3am too. (I am not a light sleeper...) the first room we were given (55) had a horrible smell and was on an outside terrace which was really noisy from music nearby. They moved us to 43 which had no smell but not a great start and we were still kept up with noise although we had requested a quiet room at booking. Not hotel’s fault but I would be aware... all we wanted was a good nights sleep, especially as I am five months pregnant and we had a long drive the next day, so it was not a good stay for us. Breakfast was not of best quality but was standard and ok. Whole place is a bit tired. Lastly, they didn’t ask us on check out how our stay was which was telling (bad restaurants and hotels never seem to ask, maybe because they don’t want to know...) so didn’t seem the hotel were bothered about feedback or customer experience
Well located for ferry port and it was easy to find somewhere to eat nearby. Clean. Fast check in and check out and WiFi worked.

“What a find....”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The outside street was very narrow - I wouldn’t try driving there. When the wind blows in a particular direction the jets fly overhead - however, that must affect all of the old city. I didn’t notice the planes late at night or early in the morning.
The location was marvellous for walking to the important attractions. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. Our room was huge, with a double basin bathroom and a delightful shady terrace. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean (and I am fussy).

It was a bit hard to find it by car, but once we did parking was was very close and not too expensive for middle of town.
Lovely rooms, very clean, we were on 5th floor right by the roof terrace which was nice place to sit. Also great breakfast.
