Great staff, good location, and a very comfortable room.
Pros:

Great location for the night before catching the ferry, and also a short distance to town center. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Lovely room, spacious and comfortable bed.

Cons:

The air conditioning did not appear to work in the morning, not sure why. So it was a little uncomfortable in the room when getting ready to catch the ferry at 8am

Séjour d’une nuit dans cette hôtel avant notre retour en France. Le personnel est très accueillant. Nous avons pu laisse
Pros:

Emplacement idéal pour visiter Héraklion à pieds, staff très gentil et aux petits soins.
Le dernier étage avec la piscine et le bar est très agréable. Les chambres sont confortables.

Cons:

Étant proche de l’aéroport, on peut entendre les avions décoller et passer au dessus de l’hôtel une partie de la soirée
