Great location, friendly and helpful staff, meh breakfast
Pros:

Great location, very clean accommodations, luggage storage services was a nice touch. The front desk staff were helpful in calling a taxi, making recommendations, finding bus depots and routes, and they were always very kind. Very impressed with the service.

Cons:

The breakfast was not worth it in my opinion, none of the food was very good. The juice was “apple taste” and didn’t taste like juice at all which might be why it wasn’t called juice. Everything else was nice about the hotel, a solid 3 star facility.

Great hotel near the port!
Pros:

Great stay in Heraklion for 1 evening; our room had plenty of space, good AC, and comfortable beds, not to mention a beautiful view of the port and sea; the breakfast was nice with many options. Hotel staff were very helpful and it was very easy to store our luggage all day after check out. We appreciated that it was only ~10 min walk to the ferry and also to numerous shops and restaurants!

Krásný hotel, skvělá lokalita
Pros:

Hotel je v klidné lokalitě, do centra cca 10 minut pěšky. Měli jsme pokoj v 5.patře s velkou terasou a krásným výhledem na přístav. Dobré zastínění vnitřními žaluziemi. Snídaně skvělé, velký výběr, vše doplňovali. Pokoj i hotel čisté, personál velmi příjemný. Na ulici u hotelu je parkování obtížné, ale je možné parkovat přímo naproti, v přístavu za 7 EUR přes noc.

Cons:

Snídaně začínají brzo ráno a náš pokoj byl přímo pod jídelnou. Do posledního patra, kde je jídelna se musí po schodech, takže ráno byl slyšet z chodby hluk od ostatních hostů. Také nám trochu vadilo, že jsme slyšeli posouvání židlí v jídelně.

Alles topp - für uns die perfekte Wahl für eine Nacht in Heraklion!
Pros:

Zum einen die Lage: Kurze Fahrt vom Flughafen - Kurzer Fußweg zur Altstadt und zum Hafen.
Die Zimmer waren sauber. Wir konnten auch früher ins Zimmer als erwartet. Das Personal war ebenfalls sehr freundlich!
