An elegant hotel rather in the wrong position
Pros:

It is a very modern interior which been done well. The breakfast was extraordinary.

Cons:

The position in the harbour is not a great place to be in this town. The best position is more in the centre.

Prachtig hotel met alles erop en eraan en met het lekkerste ontbijt
Pros:

Prachtig hotel met een geweldig ontbijt. Parkeren voor het hotel. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Aan alles wordt gedacht. Zelfs wordt de kamer nog even gecheckt in de avond en wordt er een kaartje met snoepjes op bed gelegd.

Cons:

Wij hadden een kamer met een bad. Dus douchen in bad. Doorgegeven aan de receptie dat wij dat niet fijn vonden. Werd aangegeven dat je dit kan aangeven bij de reservering. Dus er zijn kamers met een douche.

Θέλει ανακαίνιση στα δωμάτια
Pros:

Θεά στη θάλασσα

Cons:

Έρχονταν μια μυρωδιά από το μπάνιο και παρόλο που το ξενοδοχείο δεν είχε κόσμο ενώ το είπαμε δεν μας άλλαξαν δωμάτιο

Pros:

Πάρα πολύ καθαρό , πάρα πολύ ωραίο το πρωινό , το προσωπικό είναι άριστο. Μας έκαναν αναβάθμιση στο δωμάτιο και είχαμε δύο μπαλκόνια που έβλεπαν θάλασσα, η τοποθεσία είναι πολύ καλή , δίπλα στο κέντρο , πας με τα πόδια.

Frühstück mit Meerblick
Pros:

Das Frühstück war außergewöhnlich, mit unzähligen Gerichten aus Kreta und toller Präsentation.

Cons:

Die Lobby war etwas lieblos - kann aber auch sein, dass im Februar einfach noch der Glanz des Sommers fehlt.

Beautiful sea view from our balcony. The breakfast was wonderful; an incredible variety of fresh and local dishes, all delicious. Parking was easy: hit the button beside the entrance gate to give them your name. A perfect location in Heraklion.

Cons:

The room size was a little small.
