Ok pour une nuit mais cher pour la prestation
Pros:

La vue de la terrasse et l'emplacement

Cons:

Pas de douche mais une vieille baignoire compliquée à passer en mode pommeau de douche
Pas de bouilloire ni de the ou café pour l'accueil, tout est payant en bas comme l'eau dans le frigo.
Une terrasse tres grande mais inexploitée : juste 2 chaises et une table ! Pas de transat ou chaise longue, mais d'étendoir à linge pour les maillots et serviettes et pourtant il y a vraiment de la place !

Hôtel charmant et très près de tout
Pros:

Nous étions de passage à Héraklion pour une nuit seulement. Le personnel de l'hôtel était sympa et le réceptionniste nous a recommandé un excellent restaurant pour le souper. La chambre, située au 5e étage, nous offrait une vue sur l'eau et un énorme balcon. Le petit-déjeuner était varié et disponible dès 6 h 30. Nous avons même pu nous rendre à notre bateau à pied.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, meh breakfast
Pros:

Great location, very clean accommodations, luggage storage services was a nice touch. The front desk staff were helpful in calling a taxi, making recommendations, finding bus depots and routes, and they were always very kind. Very impressed with the service.

Cons:

The breakfast was not worth it in my opinion, none of the food was very good. The juice was “apple taste” and didn’t taste like juice at all which might be why it wasn’t called juice. Everything else was nice about the hotel, a solid 3 star facility.
