Wonderful staff, comfortable room, good food - a hotel I can warmly recommend.
Pros:

The staff was amazing - always helpful, incredibly friendly.
The room itself was quite nice - everything you need for a short stay.
Breakfast was a nice continental buffet! Quite tasty, good selection.

Cons:

Not an issue for me, but might be for others - due to how close the hotel is to the airport, you'll be hearing airplanes constantly. This, however, is not a problem only for the hotel - there's basically no place in Heraklion where the same won't happen.

Pros:

Personnel accueillant. Check in flexible. Lits un peu dur et grinçant. Emplacement proche de l’aéroport et de restaurants. Bruits des avions diminués par les fenêtres.

Ok pentru o noapte
Pros:

Locația usor accesibila, lângă stație de autobuz, cafenele si magazine in preajma.

Cons:

Ușa de la balcon a fost blocata, practic nu am avut deloc lumina naturală in camera. Zgomot foarte mare de la avioane.
