    clean room
    comfortable bed
    great view
    limited breakfast
    inadequate options

    I stayed for 4 nights in a Superior Room with Balcony and City View, and the highlight was definitely the view of the cathedral from my balcony. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was super comfortable, allowing for great rest after exploring the vibrant area. I loved that I could easily walk to various attractions, including Agios Minas Cathedral just a short stroll away. The breakfast left a lot to be desired with limited options available, something that I hope they can improve in the future.

    It all depends on your needs

    The excellent breakfast featured an extensive buffet with delicious options, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating!

    Inconsistent Wi-Fi service was frustrating, and the noise from church bells interrupted our peace .

    great location
    breakfast quality

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, just five minutes from the beautiful sea. I loved the spacious balcony that offered an amazing view of the bustling plaza. The room itself felt modern and clean, with a large, comfortable bed that gave me restful nights. Breakfast had potential but fell short, with limited choices and some items tasting stale. Service during breakfast could be faster. I noticed some delays. Staff were friendly, always willing to help and recommend nearby places to eat. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but I managed to find a spot nearby.

    amazing breakfast
    friendly staff
    bathroom outdated

    The breakfast in the morning was out of this world, especially the local pastries. I took the kids to an escape room nearby, and we all had a blast figuring out the puzzles together. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout.

    My wife says that the bathroom could use some updates.

    great city view
    hard beds

    The super nice team in suggesting local spots. The location was perfect for accessing everything we wanted to see, and the rooms offered a great view of the city. Don't miss the nearby eateries for a true local experience.

    One downside was that the beds felt slightly hard, a bit uncomfortable for some of us during the night.

    clean shower

    It was just a perfect match for a lightning trip in Heraklion with fantastic value. The shower was refreshing after a long day exploring the city. Try to check out the nearby cafes for a local meal instead of relying on breakfast here.

    disappointing breakfast

    The hotel is perfect location in the heart of the city center, just a five-minute walk from the sea. The staff is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a warm and cute atmosphere. We loved that the bed was large and comfortable.

    The breakfast options were quite disappointing, offering limited items that felt more fitting for a lower-rated hotel.
