Two nights at an iconic luxury classic hotel.
Pros:

It's a wonderful classic hotel,in a prime location near the fortress and in walking distance to central Heraklion.
Superb decoration in an iconic building from years gone by.

Cons:

The air condition got direct over the beds. We were obliged to ask for duvets, which was promptly solved.

We had a great stay
Pros:

It was so convenient to the airport, ferry port and bus station. The hotel was lovely and clean. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and each room had a balcony. We normally don’t eat in hotel restaurants but got back late from touring and decided to grab a bite at the hotel. Their rooftop restaurant was lovely and the food was delicious!!!

Magical even in Spring!
Pros:

Happy and glad that they honored our request of a quieter, higher (6th floor), and corner suite for our family of three adults. The property has very few rooms to accommodate for three, since they do not have the option for a roll-away bed or a pull-out sofa-bed. The 2-beds were 2 twin beds joined together but it was very comfortable and linens were luxurious. The third bed was a futon with extra linens. Our 6th floor Jr. triple suite on the back of the hotel had a wrap-around balcony with a partial-view of Sea of Crete and ferry harbor. Bathroom was beautiful with a big-window overlooking eastern sunrise. Luggage escort from the car park was provided by the front-desk, which was a great help. Effie and Vicky at front-desk were very cordial and welcoming and also responsive prior to our arrival. Breakfast gets 10/10 stars for hot and cold fare, in addition to at least 2 dozen very tasty, freshly baked Greek specialties. The entire hotel smelled ginger-bread-cinnamon festive and Christmassy even in Spring season. Breakfast tables had a nice view of the Ferry port. We didn't use the fitness center on the lobby-floor, which seemed a bit too dark, but was well equipped for your gym needs. Neither did we use the roof-top pool because the pool was too cold and not heated, however, the views from the roof-top terrace were amazing. Without doubt, we'll be back for a longer stay!

Pros:

My stay at Megaron hotel was simply exceptional. A true 5-star experience with outstanding service, beautiful facilities and an atmosphere that makes you feel instantly relaxed and welcomed. I would specially like to thank the afternoon receptionist, who kindly helped me send a Whatsapp from her telephone to my family, after my phone accidentally fell into the pool area. Her calmness and empathy meant a lot to me. Also, many thanks to the bartender and the waitress at the R floor who immediately tried to help and solve the situation. The breakfast was spectacular. The terrace.and pool area are exceptional, perfect for relaxing and enjoying. Everything about this hotel reflects care, professionalism, elegance and genuine hospitality. I would definitely return and highly recommend it.
