Excellent value for the money. Short walk to the old town.
Pros:

Very clean, excellent bed, very good breakfast, friendly staff.

Cons:

The walls are a bit thin so noise from other rooms as well as the street comes in. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Bathroom is small but very manageable.

Would return if the circumstances allowed it. Was rather expensive in my opinion
Pros:

The big bed, the cold AC. The friendly staff and the breakfast! The staff also let us check in early

Cons:

The shower head was broken, and a lot of water got onto the floor.

Basic
Pros:

Shower had a curtain which kept the water on floor to minimum. Not standard in this part of the world. Convenient to Knossos Palace and airport.

Cons:

The room had a musty smell. The bed cover I suspect. Breakfast was basic

Cons:

Despite the announcement of available private parking, parking is done on the public street in front of the hotel, where it is not always easy to find a parking space.

Pros:

Ικανοποιητικό σε γενικές γραμμές ξενοδοχείο, σχετικά κοντά στο κέντρο με τα πόδια . Ευγενικό, χαμογελαστό και εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό . Αρκετά καλό πρωινό.

Cons:

Χρειάζεται καλύτερη καθαριότητα στα δωμάτια . Το ντουζ δεν τραβούσε καλά τα νερά . Δεν μας άλλαξαν σεντόνια τα 4 βράδια που μείναμε και πετσέτες έπρεπε να ζητήσουμε εμείς καινούριες . Δεν έχει καλη ηχομόνωση με αποτέλεσμα να έχει πολύ θόρυβο από τον δρόμο κάτω .
