Yair, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed at City Lion by Semavi in a two story condo with the bedroom upstairs. The bed was comfy; however the shower is located next to the bed which was a little strange. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is not easy; however, there are parkades nearby.

10/10 Exceptional

We had an excellent stay at City Lion. The room was spacious and beautiful, with a private shaded yard area. The location is great.
Lee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed here a few times and we love it. Little details really do make the differnce. Clean and friendly, fantastic quiet air-conditioning, the beds and pillows are unbelievably comfortable and a nespresso machine in your room with extra pods if needed fror free.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We wish we had more time to stay at this lovely hotel! Smack downtown and minutes away from museum, harbor, great food and sightseeing. Our ground floor apartment had a garden and it was spacious, clean and with a very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The only caution I have is to not attempt to reach the place by your own car… very tight roads and nowhere to really park to unload so get a cab instead and ditch the car at the airport before you arrive.
Katerina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff is very friendly and very accommodating. We could store our luggage at the beginning and the end of our trip to go enjoy the city. The place was immaculate and renovated. The hotel is near the city center and everything is accessible by foot.

Georgia, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved all of the features, the decor was beautiful and modern. The rooms had everything we needed and were very close to the main tourist area of downtown Heraklion. It was very easy to get to the ferry port the morning we checked out, it was only about 5 mins away by car. Perfect for our family 4.
Elsja, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wow, this hotel. Our room had a spiral staircase leading up to a 2nd bedroom, a full kitchen, 3 balconies! Excellent location too, just minutes away from Lion Square and a ton of restaurant options. Christos the owner is very nice and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful modern apartments

Really beautiful, modern apartments and the staff were really great. Plus it had a really helpful app. The closest parking lot isn’t far, but you do have to wind through some cobbled streets, so just be prepared if you have luggage. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back!

The place is clean. Very close to heart of Heraklion. Good value for money. You do .hear sound of people talking and or playing music even with doors and windows closed

10/10 Exceptional

My family's experience at the City Gate was nothing short of excellent. The rooms are meticulously clean, well designed and spacious. The two staff we interacted with (Karissa and Manos) are both exceptionally attentive and accommodating. The location is excellent and is about a 3 min walk to all the restaurants and shops. Hands down the best hotel that I've stayed at in all of Greece.

10/10 Exceptional

I lobed that it was central to the old town but it was on a quiet corner. Also, the apartments were excellent and the Hosts were also very friendly. I would definitely return with my family. Thanks, Sandra
