Rating this for what it is - a two star hotel. And for the price (~70€ a night for 2), you really get a good room! It's nothing fancy, but it's clean, A/C works fine and the breakfast was good (enough choices to have it a few times - great doughnuts!). Good curtains to block the morning sunlight. It's a nice spot to spend a night or two when you're traveling further, especially if you use the ferry! It's very close to the port. The check-in is 24/7, so you can arrive at night - there was a person at the reception. The hotel seems to be renovated quite recently. Free parking available on the street, but may be hard to find a spot... Overall, very happy with our stay, but wouldn't stay longer than a couple of nights.

The shower curtain does not stop the water, so you get some spills on the floor. The balcony is small and has the A/C unit, so not a great place to sit and rest. The street next to the hotel is very busy and noisy (main street). I slept with ear plugs and it was fine, but if you need peace and quiet - you may be frustrated. Also, the elevator smelled of urine or something like that :(.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, particularly due to the hotel's excellent location. Situated near the edge of the old town, it offers the perfect balance of being close enough to easily walk to the historic center, while still providing a peaceful escape from the bustling crowds. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. On our check-out day, they kindly stored our luggage, allowing us to explore more before our afternoon flight. The breakfast was satisfactory, and the rooms were clean with comfortable beds, making for a pleasant stay overall.

Nothing in particular

Friendly welcome and helpful recommendation for a place to eat when we arrived late after flight delay. Clean and comfortable room with fridge, quiet air-con, little traffic overnight on the road outside so a peaceful night's sleep. Decent breakfast in pleasant lounge with option to use the pretty terrace outside. Very handy for our onward journey from bus station.

A little more information at breakfast would have been nice; we'd nearly finished when people arrived and were served different coffees to the flask on the counter. But, overall a good stay and we would consider returning.

The hotel is recently renovated, hence the room was looking upscale. It was spacious and had all the basic amenities, and the spacious balcony was a big plus. The hotel offers room cleaning every day. The staff was very kind and attentive. The best 2 assets are probably the location (10 minutes away from the city center on foot) and the breakfast (had an abundance of options).

The AC in room 305 didn't work properly as it was probably lacking freon, ao we had to have it on 24/7. There was a slightly unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom, so we kept the door shut while we were out.

The hotel is approximately 15 mins away fron the city centre on a very busy street. The rooms were very nice and clean, the personnel was extremely kind and helpful and breakfast was really good. Overall it was great to stay here

The hotel is located on a very busy street, which means that at every hour of the day there is noise coming from outside, thus it is not recommended to sleep with the windows open. While the room was fairly spacious, the bathroom was quite tight with just enough space to move. Finally, I had booked this hotel also because it offers some parking spots: the parking area is on the main street, opposite the hotel, which makes it a bit complicated, once you reach the hotel, to u-turn and park in tranquillity.

The room and bathroom were very clean, bed was comfortable and you had everything you needed in the room. The staff was friendly and the location also pretty good - ca 15-20 min walking distance to the old town. Price-performance ratio was very good.

The hotel is by the main, pretty busy, road, so it's hard to find a parking spot, since you don't have a guaranteed one. Breakfast was ok, when something was out, it wasn't refilled that soon or not at all. But for the price, it was still enough to choose from and to get your belly full. :)

- great location: 5 min. to the bus station and 10 min. to the city center - okay breakfast: buffet-style with enough options for a day or two, but will definitely get boring if you plan on staying longer. The seating area is small, but there’s enough room and you can even sit outside in a nice area filled with plants - 24/7 reception with nice and accommodating staff

The room is small and somewhat old-looking which is completely fine for an overnight stay, but a problem if you are staying longer

We stayed in room number 310 for 3 nights.The room itself was adequate for our needs and the beds were comfortable.The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the bus station, which is useful to ourselves.Katerina, and Miltos, the reception staff were great,as usual,as we had stayed here before.So all in all a good stayover in our 3week vacation.

We were obliged to report a broken toilet seat which was not able to be repaired during our stay, but were offered a different room, to move to, which we declined because of our length of stay! The outside table/chairs were uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time.And the room was very close to the neon hotel sign which lit the room up all night unless we pulled the shutters down.But because of the outside heat, we don't like to do!

The room is perfect for solo travellers and couples. The room is clean and comfortable. The balcony view was great. We can enjoy the view of the buzzling streets. Located closer to the Heraklion port - Walkable distance from the hotel. You can reach other attractions also by foot - Historical museum of Crete, Fortress near the port and the port. You can reach Palace of Knossos through bus. The hotel is not located in the city centre. But it was closer to all attractions (quoted earlier) that i opted for. You can just go to the port, see the magnificent ships and ferries, explore the restaurants closer to the sea side etc.

Nothing to say.
