Reasonably priced for one night
Good value for money. We needed a budget stopover having flown in late night. Close to airport, clean, reasonably quiet and an fairly comfy bed for two sleepy travellers.

Very charming and quaint. Amazing staff. So clean. Comfortable beds. We booked here because it was close to the airport, but we didn’t realize just how much airport noise there would be.

It was alright. Maybe more of a $40 a night hotel than the close to $70 that I paid but the staff was nice enough. Really not much of an advantage over some other slightly more expensive hotels or cheaper hostels

very noisy caused by low flying airplanes and a highly frequented road in front of the hotel, there was an advice at the door to the balcony to keep it closed at all times and to use the airconditioning

Ga hier niet heen
Een verwaarloosde kamer, airco werkte niet, bed was doorgelegen, douche was slecht.Heel veel herrie in de kamer van voorbijrijdende auto's met keiharde muziek en elk kwartier een landend vliegtuig. De hele nacht geen oog dichtgedaan.

Our stay at the Asterion Hotel was short (about 12 hours) but comfortable. The front desk staff were gracious and accommodating to our needs. A special shout out to Stelios, who prepared an awesome continental breakfast for us since we had to leave so early (0430). We scrambled to make our flight so having some good food in us was greatly appreciated. THANKS STELIOS!!!! We look forward to our next trip to Crete and chance to stay at the Asterion.
