Guest Reviews
- Adam (8/5): Perfect for our short stay to get a 4am ferry. - Location perfect for early morning ferry. Lovely hosts very friendly and welcoming. Great suggestions for restaurants. Lovely welcome Raki and cake. Windows sound proofed. Exactly as we expected.
- Judith (10/5): -
- Mary (8/5): Great location and staff. Central to everything - Location, close to port and city Small bathroom. Better getting a double room with balcony. Our delux room was small with no balcony
- SPYRIDON (10/5): - ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟ ΠΕΡΙΒΑΛΛΟΝ , ΕΥΓΕΝΕΣΤΑΤΗ ΕΞΥΠΗΡΕΤΗΣΗ, ΜΠΟΡΕΙΣ ΝΑ ΠΑΡΚΑΡΕΙΣ ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΕΥΚΟΛΑ ΤΡΙΓΥΡΩ.
- Elena (10/5): - Buen alojamiento. Cerca del puerto
- Keiko (9/5): It was perfect for our one night. - The location was perfect and the receptionist was very friendly and kind. Nothing
- Pavan (5/5): -
- Annette (9/5): Good - Lovely people and good rooms. Nice bar area at the front as it was hot and we were tired after the flight so excellent for a quick drink without have to go too far. Very close to bus stops for Knossos and for the central bus station going to Rethymno. No coffee in the rooms. Only tea but the reception gave us some coffee when we asked.
- STEPHEN (7/5): Ready to sail next morning. - The location of this hotel was ideal for catching our boat the next early morning. The hotel itself was ok.It has a lift. The room itself was slightly narrow and bed table in the wrong spot. And on the wall opposite our bed was the largest mirror in Christendom. And the staff were very friendly. Not much really. Location was great. Not sure if we could have stayed too many nights but who knows 🤷
- Varuni (8/5): -
- Dug42 (9/5): Bien - Très proche du port ! c'est ce que je souhaitais ! donc parfait
- William (9/5): - Superb welcome after an overdue check in due to flight delays.. and a lovely breakfast arranged by a lovely family...perfect start to the holiday!
- Hélène (8/5): -
- LeClaire (10/5): Great experience - Had everything I needed N/A
- Turner (8/5): -
- Justine (10/5): Super hôtel avec emplacement très pratique avec un rapport qualité prix imbattable !! - Le monsieur qui nous a accueilli a été très gentil et fort sympathique, les lits sont confortables, notre chambre côté cour était calme et c’est juste à côté du port où l’on embarque pour les ferrys, c’était parfait ! RAS !
- Martin (10/5): Good value - Very convenient for the ferry
- Denise (9/5): Perfect stop over - Close to transport hubs staff very pleasant and accommodating.
- Ruth (8/5): Good value for money. Excellent proximity to ferry & airport. - Access to the port. Friendly welcoming staff. Very clean room. Perfect for ferry trip the next morning. No English channels on TV
- Donna (8/5): Great value for your money - Excellent breakfast. Bed was so comfortable
- Ioannis (9/5): -
- Roopali (7/5): Nice place for a short stay of 1-2 days - Welcome drink and cake. Proximity to the port There was a drain running through the room which was very loud early in the morning when some one used their washroom
- Almut (8/5): -
- Martine (9/5): -
- Tessa (8/5): -
- Akie (8/5): Convenient location for transit stay - It is very close to the bus terminal (reason I stayed here as I arrived very late by bus and flew out the next morning) and airport bus stops right in front. Perfect for transit. Although the city center is still walkable, it is not the location I would choose for vising city itself. The late night self check-in instructions are very clear and easy. The room is clean. As it was one night transit stay, it didn't matter for me, but room was small and dim. Compared to other places I experienced on the island, I felt quality - price ratio is not so great (but as it was off season, not still OK).
- Alexander (8/5): -
- Trimmel (10/5): -
- Trimmel (10/5): - The street immediately in front of the property is not very walkable but you soon get to a good part.
- luben (10/5): -
- Edisa (7/5): - Gute Lage in der Nähe des Hafens.
Neu renoviertes Badezimmer.
Saubere und bequeme Betten.
Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Zimmer ist klein und bietet wenig Platz.
Inventar ist in die Jahre gekommen.
- Iman D (8/5): Excellent week-end ! - La gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel, l'emplacement du lieu. La Wi-Fi ne fonctionne pas très bien
- Tyacke (9/5): - Just right for what we needed. Very helpful staff nice breakfast comfy beds. A thunderstorm.
- Luís (8/5): - Melhor localização era impossível para quem tem de ir para o porto ou aeroporto.
- Stephen (10/5): - Excellent stay. Room was excellent. Good size bedroom and shower. Staff are very good with lots of helpful hints on where to go in Heraklion
- josef (5/5): -
- Tadas (10/5): -
- Fernanda (8/5): Good stay with great staff. - Good hotel convenient if you are getting a ferry early in the morning. Basically 2-3 blocks walking to the ferry. It is an oldish building but comfortable and the staff was really great. Easy walk to old town as well. wifi was a bit spotty but nothing too terrible. The old soap dispenser in the bathroom should be removed. Nothing major, would gladly stay again.
- Ranjit kumar (10/5): Excellent - The staff was very welcoming and friendly, ideal location walking distance to port
- Olivier (10/5): - accueil du personnel et petit déjeuner parking difficile et traffic
- Niall (9/5): Friendly, capable staff and spacious room very convenient to island ferries. - The manager was very friendly and helpful, telling me of a free parking spot nearby where we could leave our car while we took ferries to Naxos and Paros. We were offered a piece of cake and some raki to welcome us. The room was spacious with an excellent bathroom and a balcony. It was only a 10 minute walk from the ferry even with luggage. No reflection on the hotel but we saw no tavernas or restaurants nearby.
- Alisa Giaro (10/5): My Place! - Always i prefer this hotel when i am travelling to heraklion for a short stay. The personal is always happy to assist and the rooms are clean and renovated.
- DOMINIQUE (8/5): conforme au prix - le personnel est absolument charmant et se donne beaucoup pour rendre le séjour agréable le lit et la chambre pas très grande aucune vue , le petit déjeuner un peu limite
- ALAIN (6/5): - La proximité de l'aéroport Rue très bruyante une bonne partie de la nuit, petit déjeuner trop léger pour le prix.
- Anastasios (7/5): Πολύ καλή - Οι άνθρωποι Το νερό ήταν κρύο
- STAVROS (8/5): -
- Rhonda (8/5): - Proximity to the ferry port, bus station and old town.
- DANIEL (9/5): Très BON SEJOUR - Chambre adaptée aux familles. Proche de l'aéroport et très bon emplacement (près du port. A pied). Tout était bon. Juste penser à la lumière (A bas jour avant de dormir).
- Anne-Marie (8/5): A convenient hotel for night before the ferry - Location was perfect for us as we had to catch a very early ferry from the port and could walk there easily.
Our room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. Added bonus of kettle and fridge.
Although we didn't actually meet any staff due to our late arrival and early departure,the communication was excellent and contactless check in very efficient and smooth. Thanks! The shower was just about warm,not as hot as hoped. But minor issue and often the case in Greece on cloudy days
- Sebastian (7/5): -
- Catalin (1/5): -
- Edith (8/5): Très pratique pour accès ferry - Emplacement proche du ferry. Personnel très aimable Une bouilloire serait un plus dans

- ΚΟΨΙΔΑΣ (10/5): -
- Gregory (9/5): -
- BRUNO (10/5): Très bon séjour sur HERAKLION - bonjour
Emplacement super entre centre ville et aéroport. Station service pour laver le véhicule de location et refaire le plein en face de l'hôtel . Et surtout merci à l'accueil chaleureux de Nikos et sa collègue d'une gentillesse exceptionnelle. Pour le dernier jour de séjour nous avons pu laisser nos bagages à l'hôtel avant de repartir de Crète tard dans la soirée .
- Mariangela (8/5): - posizione ottima sia per andare in centro a piedi in pochi minuti sia per uscire da heraklion in macchina. vista particolare. l'hotel si trova molto vicino all'aeroporto e su una strada trafficata. le finestre sono abbastanza insonorizzate e noi non abbiamo avuto problemi a dormire ma se avete il sonno leggero cercate un posto più riparato. staff accogliente e disponibile.
- Milivoj (2/5): - On the night we arrived nobody was there on reception, so we were waiting for a more than 1h on the front.
Calling them, lady showed up after one h telli g us that we have no reservation. We showed her our booking confirmation and finally after that we got our room.
So after 1.5h
AC didn’t work as well, for 2 nights
So in our oppinion this hotel is overrated and is not value for money.
3/10
Better choose Chania or Rethymno, 2 pretty cities for vacation
- Jo (7/5): Functional - The hotel was the perfect location for an early morning sailing from the port. We had an “inside” room which felt claustrophobic.
However, it did serve its purpose. The room was very tired, it could do with a makeover new furniture and new towels.
- Agnes (7/5): -
- Bernard (7/5): - L'accueil
- KONSTANTINOS (8/5): - ΠΡΩΙΝΟ ΙΚΑΝΟΠΟΙΗΤΙΚΟ Ο ΘΟΡΥΒΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΨΥΓΕΙΟΥ ΤΟ ΒΡΑΒΥ Ι
- Martin (10/5): Great value for money - Spotlessly clean hotel, polite employees who are always with a good morning and a smile, beautiful decoration. Free Wifi and snack a bar at the hotel is also available..!
- Julien (7/5): -
- Artur (10/5): -
- Ulrike (8/5): - Wir waren wegen des archäologischen Museums in Heraklion, toll Gut
- Terrance (1/5): - Location and proximity to bus station. Lack of concern by hotel manager as to the care and comfort of guests.
Of particular note is the fact that housekeeping services were not provided.
In the morning I placed the Please Make up my Room on the door, but upon return in the afternoon the room had not been cleaned .
I confronted the manager "Hercules" who I noticed had sat on his ass all day at reception and was met with the simple reply "No housekeeping today"
There was no further explanation, apology, action or offer to compensate.
I point out that this in fact identified on Booking.Com as a hotel and not a Borstal, Borstal, Air b&b or guesthouse.
I was left to my own devices to clean the room, make the bed and scramble to find towels and water.
I should point out that I am a 70 year old pensioner with a bad back. I scrolled and saved all year to be able to afford an annual vacation and quite frankly did not receive the service at this hotel for which I paid.
I hope this is not emblematic of the sort of treatment I will continue to receive on the remainder of my holiday.
- RolArn (6/5): - Die Lage, Das Frühstück
- Dimitrios (10/5): -
- Michel (10/5): -
- Darina (9/5): -
- Richard (8/5): -
- Virginia (10/5): Espectacular - El recibimiento y la comodidad del espacio del lugar No de la propiedad todo me gustó, quizás las avenida principal mucho tránsito como peaton sin vehículo
- Eve (8/5): - Väga tore lahke pererahvas. Toa tapeet lõi meeldiva meeleolu. :) Põhiline pluss meie jaoks oli asukoht sadama lähedal.
- Tamas (10/5): Highly recommended hotel in Heraklion! - Location was great for me, very close to the bus station and the airport but also not far from the city center. I arrived from Chania a bit early but I could leave my luggage in their storage and came back to check-in at night. I was pretty exhausted but the night receptionist (Nikos) offered me a shot of raki and helped with finding my room. He was very welcoming and helped making me feel better. These kind of receptionists barely exist these days and they deserve a raise. The room itself was small (~10m2) but good enough for a solo traveler. It had an AC, a fridge and a nice little balcony with view to the main road there. I had an early flight from Heraklion but they helped me order a taxi which arrived in time and cost €13. I would stay in this hotel again. Everything was great.
- John (10/5): -
- Anna (10/5): -
- Samuel (5/5): - Très près du port, parfait lorsqu’un ferry nous attend tôt au matin. Bruyant (bruit de la ventilation ou de la tuyauterie en provenance de la salle de bain qui nous a réveillé le matin)
- Angela (9/5): I would happily stay again! - The very friendly and helpful staff. Close to Central Bus station, port and airport (€18 taxi ride from the airport), others easy walking distance Small rooms but ok for a one night stay. Some outside noise from the road and planes but double glazing helped. Nothing really not to like!
- Eric (8/5): -
- Sandra (7/5): -
- Collette (9/5): - They provided breakfast for an added cost but I didn't personally partake. The guy on reception was super helpful and genuinely wanted you to enjoy your stay Nothing
- Mike (8/5): Good transit hotel if you're on an early ferry. - We picked it solely for location & proximity to the ferry terminals. Room was comfortable, clean & quiet. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. n/a
