Fijne locatie voor heraklion en luchthaven
Pros:

Uitgebreid ontbijt, fijne kamer, kinderbedje, behulpzaam personeel dat veel talen sprak.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niet echt iets. Was alleen even onduidelijk dat de airco alleen aan kon als je het raam dicht deed.

A due passi dall aeroporto
Pros:

Accoglienza al nostro arrivo sensazionale, disponibilità assoluta a farci trovare un parcheggio e darci tutte le info per arrivare in centro.
Ci hanno prenotato il taxi e ci ha subito indicato il prezzo.
Siamo arrivati alle 19 e siamo andati via alle 8 del giorno dopo, possiamo valutare solo per una notte.
Posizione ottima a pochi minuti dall aeroporto visto che avevamo il volo alle 9 di mattina.

Cons:

La camera risulta un po datata nello stile e nell arredamento ma aveva tutto il necessario al suo interno.
