Pros:

Abbiamo soggiornato una notte in occasione dell'arrivo a tarda sera al porto di Heraklion. L'hotel si trova infatti a pochi minuti a piedi dal porto e la reception è aperta H24.
Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Cons:

Il bagno è molto piccolo, la doccia era davvero minuscola.

It’s a great place for a one night stay. Maybe address the bathroom with some external Mosquito nets ✌️
Pros:

It was fine for one night and the staff were really cool

Cons:

The bathroom had a window that would not close. There was also an air grate above it and also another air grate on the door to the bathroom. The window led to the main air duct for the whole building and I only realised that this is how the 13+ mosquitoes I ended up killing throughout the whole got in to the apartment. Zero sleep the whole night. Eventually packed a towel in to the bathroom air grate, but the other issue was that the ceilings are pretty tall, so Mr and Mrs Mosquitoes are quite hard to kill.

Pros:

En nuestro caso necesitabamos un lugar cercano al puerto para tomarnos el ferry. Casi que fue en lo que más nos fijamos. Bien ubicado. Tiene lo básico. Pero nos satisfizo.

pratique pour un départ en ferry
Pros:

Un bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avions choisi cet hôtel pour sa proximité avec le départ du Ferry et c'était parfait.
Par contre, on entend les Avions

Pricewise good!
Pros:

The location was good, especially if you use the port. We could check out around 1am after resting and head to the port.
The room didn’t have a hairdryer nor a kettle but we could borrow them from the front desk. The staff were absolutely wonderful. We paid 52 euros for a night for the room (that’s 52 total for the two of us). They also have a nice set of books in the bookshelf downstairs.

Cons:

The inside of the kettle was a little dirty.
