Pros:

Perfekte Lage zu Stadt, Archäologischem Museum und Flughafen. Eigener Parkplatz und vor allem: ein fantastisches Frühstück mit allen nur denkbaren einheimischen Spezialitäten.

Cons:

Ein bisschen schade, dass durch die wenig individuelle moderne Einrichtung das "Grand Hotel" Flair verloren geht. Aber das ist wirklich Meckern auf allerhöchstem Niveau bei einem an sich tollen Hotel.

Pros:

The room and bed were very comfortable. The staff on reception and management were very helpful and nothing was too much for them.
The hotel is five minutes walk from the port so good for those travelling from other islands like Santorini. The hotel is also five minutes away from the shops and restaurants. Would definitely return and recommend. Well done Megaron.

Amazing hotel, super relaxing pool and AMAZING STAFF
Pros:

Our room was gorgeous, very spacious, very clean. The breakfast was AMAZING. But the best thing was the staff. They go above and beyond. Irini is an angel, so friendly and helpful. The guys working the rooftop bar too. We were mostly alone by the pool from 10 til 15, so relaxing ❤️

Cons:

The only small remark I have is that the pillows on the beds were a bit flat for me

Ανυπομονούμε να σας ξαναδούμε
Pros:

Τα πάντα ήταν τέλεια και το προσωπικό ευγενικό, ευχάριστο τέλειο. Είναι η τρίτη διαμονή μας στο Μέγαρον και θα ακολουθήσουν κι άλλες. Νιώσαμε σαν στο σπίτι μας. Θέλουμε πολύ να ξαναδούμε τα πρόσωπα τα όμορφα που κάθε πρωί μας υποδέχονταν στο πρωινό με ένα τεράστιο χαμόγελο και προσπάθεια να μας περιποιηθούν
Σας ευχαριστούμε όλους και ιδιαίτερα την υποδοχή

Pros:

Un petit déjeuner extraordinaire en immersion totale avec la Crète. Un personnel excessivement au petit soin. Un roof top idéal avec une bien jolie vue. Un luxe qui n’a pas de prix et une véritable parenthèse appréciée.
