Athinaikon

We booked this hotel so we had an easy walk to the Santorini ferry port. The hotel seems to imply that there is parking but parking throughout Heraklion is a nightmare.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-day stay. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were all very friendly. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city centre, which was very convenient. All in all, we would definitely stay here again!

Arrived late evening with a pre booked room that had a balcony and city view. Immediately discovered it had neither. The "balcony" was a bricked up internal corridor with fully enclosed windows and iron bars across the windows for security and full curtains for privacy (see photos). No view. No natural light in room.

The night staff were fully aware of this and were sympathetic and apologised but said we needed to speak to someone next day about changing room. Next morning we were given a change of room. No apology however, just told we had booked the room and there was no interest when we showed the booking that promised a balcony and city view. The new room was good.

Would stay here again is we were guaranteed not to be in a room similar to the first one. IF YOU BOOK HERE INSIST YOU ARE NOT PUT IN ROOMS 111 OR 112.

I only ended up in Heraklion because of circumstances beyond my control BUT I could not have chosen a better hotel. Very clean and comfortable it is within easy walking distance of the city centre, Venetian walls, port, bus station and city buses.
But the best thing about this hotel is the lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for me and I appreciated it. It’s also very safe for a solo female visitor. And has a cute cat 🐱
Highly recommend

We only stayed here for one night, but were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We chose it because it is within walking distance of the ferry port. The check in went smoothly, the staff were helpful. Our room was clean, had a big comfortable bed, balcony, fridge and aircon. The room overlooked the road, but we didn't notice any traffic noise. Breakfast was a good buffet selection.
In terms of location, the hotel is around a 15 minute walk to the centre of Iraklion and its bars and restaurants. We would certainly stay here again.

Clean room, AC worked well and bed was comfy. Close to the port for catching ferry early and walkable to old town. We didn’t have the breakfast as we left too early, but it was available for 10 euro per person

We had a great stay. The location was ideal for us. 5 minute walk to bus station and less than 10 minutes to SeaJets port. It was only a 10 minute walk to the main precinct of shops and restaurants. The room size was very comfortable although the bathroom was a bit tight but how much time do you spend there! Breakfast did not include any hot dishes but there was a good assortment of cold. All staff were very hospitable and helpful, in particular, Katerina at the reception desk. Katerina was a wealth of knowledge on places to go and how to get there so much so we referred to her as Κυρία Google. Thoroughly recommend this Hotel.

Friendly welcome, good location. We had a slight issue in that the shower head clip (to attach to the pole) was missing, I mentioned it to reception and it was dealt with immediately. Breakfast was basic as I expected for the price.

An excellent choice, close to everything. Good value for money. The people were the best, we were there on business and helped us with everything we needed and even more. It is old but we'll taken care of and recently renovated. If your budget is tight I can't think of a better place

I chose this hotel partly as it's easy to find by car. It is a pleasant hotel with very nice staff. Rooms were adequate size and bathrooms are bright and modern with walk in shower. A fridge in the room was helpful. I took breakfast here which was nice. I liked the toasted sandwich maker! A few minutes walk into the centre. Beware though, if arriving by car, it is challenging to find somewhere to park. This hotel is decent value for money and I would stay here again.

I was happy with my hotel room. My only complaint was that there was very little parking around the hotel.

This hotel is about a 6 minute walk from the bus station and is in easy reach of the town centre, about a 10 minute walk. The sanitary recommendations for Covid are strictly applied, the rooms are cleaned daily. Staff are on duty 24/24 and are all very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is varied and plentiful. Only one bad point, situated on a main street it's quite noisy you need ear plugs at night.

Great lobby service, clean rooms, excellent amenities, very central to anywhere in the city including the ferry port.
Optional breakfast is super convenient with a good price. It is a great value for the money if you will be staying in Heraklion

I stayed in the hotel at the end of my vacation. Hotel is situated not far from the city center, few minutes walk from the Heraklion Bus Station and bus stop to the airport. Staff is helpful, I have to change my reservation because the airline changed my departure time and couldn't eat the breakfast that I reserved before, no problem. Room was average but with a balcony. Just a hotel.

We stayed there for 3 nights. Not the most modern hotel, but the bed was comfortable and bathroom (with a shower) was clean and functional. Our room had a small balcony with a view to the street. In the room there was a small fridge - very convenient. Only the lighting in the room could be stronger, as it was quite dim.

Location is quite good - 10 minutes on foot and you enter the center of the Heraklion town. Finding a parking place on the street can be bit challenging.

We did not take breakfast at the hotel - if you'd like to check some local taste like we did, there's a good bakery Savoidakis (they also serve coffee) just hundred metres up the main street.

Nice staff at the reception.

We stayed in hotel in about 5 days. There was a clean nice small room with large balcony, where was chairs with table. View was not good because I saw opposite balcony. There was a AC with own controller.
Breakfast was ordinary but good.
Hotel is 5 minutes from McDonald's.
I recommend this hotel.

A lovely welcome. We arrived late but the gentleman in reception was so welcoming. We had a very early start to catch the ferry in the morning. He very kindly arranged for the catering staff to provide coffee, biscuits & cake for us.

We liked this hotel so much, that we booked 2 nights on our return to Heraklion. The staff are so friendly & helpful. It is also very conveniently located in walking distance of the ferry port, bus station & city centre.

It was one of the best hotels even if it is rated at 3stars category. the reason of being satisfied about my staying there is that it had a wonderful view of all over the coast line, it was clean and spacy, the breakfast was appropriate and the dinner was of a great variety on the boufet and well cooked foods as meat, salads, desserts and ordef. the only disadvantage is the charged Internet when u are in the room.

Amazing!! Beautiful, clean, friendly hotel. Front desk staff were all angels, gave great directions. Importantly, there is NO KETTLE in the room. The front desk provided me with hot water at all hours for hot drinks in my room or in the lobby. Wifi was fine. Cheap, good supermarket around the corner. Near McDonald's, bus station, and ferry port!! Quick walk to town, not bad.
