    Close from Heraklion airport and convenient for the midnight flight arrival. Yet the taxi cost 15 Euro. The reception was open all night. My room was OK and was rather spacious. I didn't know that there was an air conditioner until next morning....

    Perfectly acceptable airport hotel. We were able to walk to and from without a problem with a rental car drop off the day before and an early morning flight. Great location with some cafes nearby for a coffee on the way to our flight. Clean, staff...
