Un bon hotel confortable proche de la citadelle
Pros:

Accueil très sympathique et professionnel.
La literie.
Tarifs preferentiels avec un parking proche (compter 15 €/jour) il est difficile de se garer à Heraklion.
La salle du petit dejeuner au sixième étage avec une vue panoramique.
Le petit dejeuner continental mais aussi des produits crétois.

Cons:

Salle de bain petite et pas très moderne.
Proche voie de circulation donc pas très calme

An excellent stay with very helpful staff.
Pros:

A lovely welcome from the very helpful staff. The best room had a huge balcony and view across the harbour. A bowl of fruit and some wine provided and a very comfortable bed too. A short walk to the Heraklion museum. Easy to park at the harbour and the bus station is not far.

Very pleasant stay.
Pros:

Breakfast was good and was in the top floor restaurant with good views out over the harbour. Not too far from the city centre. Convenient for a bus to Knossos. Not too far from the coach station.

Cons:

We needed to keep the windows shut when planes were coming in to land - they fly low overhead en route to the nearby airport also traffic can be a bit noisy at times.

Pros:

La vue lors du déjeuner et le personnel à l'accueil

Cons:

Nous avions réservé une chambre familiale et le deux lits jumeaux étaient collés ensemble ce qui a rendu difficile pour une personne de sortir de son lit.

Albergo con moltissimi punti a favore.
Pros:

Era solo una sosta di transito ma, io e mia moglie, ci siamo trovati molto bene. Le camere non sono grandi ma sono accoglienti con tutto quello che serve. Forse una sedia in più ..... Non ho mai trovato dei materassi e cuscini cosi meravigliosi. Dormi benissimo.
Colazione decisamente abbondante, e bellissima al 6° piano con vista sul porto. Per me buona la parte dolce e più che sufficiente per quel che riguarda il salato. È vicino alla stazione degli autobus dove è anche possibile trovare parcheggio per l'auto. Il centro è a 10 Min a piedi. CONSIGLIATO.

Cons:

Proprio per scrivere qualcosa: la TV non ha canali in lingua italiana e forse li ha solo in greco
