This location had a great pool not large with a depth of 1.5 meters but just right for cooling off. Staff friendly across all areas.

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice hotel next to town centre. Thhe rooms are clean and well looked after. The staff are absolutely amazing and would try and help with any query you have! Food is delicious (we had dinners in a la carte restaurant a few times and all were a hit). Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Iraklio - for tourism or business.
Tatiana, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were all so friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was delicious with so much choice. The hotel was very clean & the rooms were a little small, but had everything and were also very clean.The pool area was small, but lovely and suited us perfectly. The hotel is located about a 10-15min walk from the city centre and the sites were all accessible by walking, taxi or bus which was perfect for us. We will definitely be back.
Nathalie, 4-night trip

I enjoyed my room upgrade very much. The room was very comfortable and provided a good night’s sleep. Breakfast buffet was superb, as always. But the staff is what sets this place above other hotels. Very attentive and professional. This is still my favorite hotel in Heraklion.

Staff was incredible. Pool was fantastic. Breakfast was great. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

8/10 Very good

Staff was very friendly and helpful, food was great. Walls are a bit thin and the rooms are a bir bright at night - but all around a no-brainer.
Jan Roger, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic hotel

Amazing stay and regretfully we didn’t stay longer than one night in Heraklion. The hotel is a 10 min walk to the port which is really lovely. The hotel is fantastic and the breakfast was superb, although we had to abruptly rush out after 15 min because we had a flight change and needed to rush. We will come again and stay longer to enjoy the amenities more next trip!
joshua, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We booked this property the night before flying out, due to the proximity to the airport. Upon arrival, we had a great welcome by the ladies at the front desk, who were able to check us in an hour early, and even provided a room upgrade. They were kind, efficient, and professional.
Breanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a very convenient hotel for our one night stay in Iraklio before a ferry trip the next day. The beds were decent and everything was very clean. The room was a bit small/tight for maneuvering around so perhaps not recommended for larger folks or folks with lots of luggage.
