We enjoyed our time at the Knossos Palace and seeing so much history. People are so very nice and helpful. I would have liked more time in Heraklion, but we spent more time in other areas of the island of Crete.

It is very urban not to many historical points of interest left. That said the dining scene is very good and the shopping is varied and at all price points and interest.

I was in Heraklion mainly to see Minoan sites and I got that done - Knossos and Malia. Hotel Sofia provides a great base for this.

So much too see, wonderful clean city,street cleaning all day every day.
"We were only at the hotel for one night, and arrived at 7pm due to a delayed ferry, but we had a lovely if brief stay! The staff were welcoming on arrival and provided a welcome drink and showed us to our room. The rooftop pool is open until 8pm so we managed a quick dip and headed out to get some dinner. We walked to the old market area (Kalokerinou- about fifteen minutes away) and found a lovely restaurant. The buffet breakfast in the morning was to a high standard as well. Definitely recommend this hotel and would go back. Only thing of note is that it is on the main road and you can hear traffic if the window is open."
"The hotel is very modern, clean with all the amenities of a 5 star hotel. It is close to all the bar’s restaurants and shops although the area around is a little sketchy.
It has a good parking in front and good breakfast. "
"Really great hotel in the heart of Heraklion. Very convenient to the port and the airport. Staff was very nice and went over and above; we were leaving before breakfast so they made breakfast bags for us and sent us on our way. Highly recommend. "
"We were a family of five in three rooms for two nights. We all really enjoyed this hotel. Nice roof bar and pool, where we spent a lot of time. Very comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfast. And a great location, across the street from thecArchaeologic"
"Clean and nice room. Convenient location if you want to be near the airport. You can definitely hear the airplanes overhead when they are using the runway that points toward this hotel, but the night we were at the hotel the airplane noise stopped at a reasonable time, did not start up again until morning, and did not impact our sleep. If I were planning on spending a lot of time in the room during the day or evening, the noise might have gotten annoying. "
"Amazing hotel! Front desk, spa staff & lobby bartender were so nice and helpful! Rooms are amazing with balconies, fridge, and iPad controlled. Bellhop came outside and helped with parking right across the street & our luggage! They even have a pillow menu! Best part were the reasonable prices of the spa services (best massage ever) especially for the 5 star quality amenities - sauna, pools, jacuzzi, manicures etc. 5 minute walk to Lions Square for shopping & restaurants although the bar onsite in the lobby & on the roof are full service. The rooftop patio & pool are incredible. & the onsite gym. This place is amazing . King beds were separated ahead of time at our request. We will definitely return!"
"the location was excellent the hotel was private the staff were attentive
the adjacent hacienda restaurant was fabulous particularly for breakfast on the square
there wee no negatives a great holiday elizabeth"
"Wonderful Stay in Crete!
We had an amazing experience at this hotel in Crete. From the moment we arrived, everything felt inviting the entrance smelled incredible, and the same went for the lovely, high-quality toiletries in the shower. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the shower was great, and the entire place was spotless.
The location couldn’t have been better: it’s in a safe, vibrant area with lots of great shops and restaurants just a short walk away. Everyone we encountered was friendly and spoke English, which made our stay feel easy and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the local food scene Central Park was a favourite.
Our host was incredibly kind and helpful, arranging transportation from the airport and to the port, and staying in touch with quick responses through the app. Housekeeping even helped us with our laundry, which we really appreciated during our trip.
We also loved the thoughtful extras a coffee machine with pods, milk and creamer, cozy slippers, and even Netflix on the TV for winding down in the evenings.
The only thing to keep in mind is that there are quite a few stairs (we stayed on the third floor), but honestly, it just made us feel better about enjoying all the delicious local food!
Overall, we’d highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again!"
"Everything was very clean and neat. Amazing city and water views from my balcony. The staff was super attentive and welcoming. Perfect location, easy walk to anything. I would definitely stay here again. "
"Fantastic property and friendly staff. We had paid the half board with breakfasts and dinners. The food was beyond expectations. It was fresh and delicious. Thank you!"
