Ideal für einen Trip nach Heraklion
Pros:

Die Lage zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten und Restaurants ist sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Frühstücksrestaurant sollte etwas schallgedämmt werden. Wenn es voll ist kann man sich nicht mehr unterhalten.

Pros:

Geräumiges Zimmer, bequemes Bett

Cons:

Der dargestellte Pool auf dem Dach ist winzig. Das Hotel liegt direkt in der Startschneise des Flughafen, es ist daher sehr laut - für Planespotter wohl ein Traum so nah am Geschehen zu sein.
