    Very loud, near a busy road, the doors close by slamming and it is impossible to sleep after 7 in the morning.

    Very pleasant staff, clean rooms. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel for the busses that go to the center and airport. A beach nearby 10min walk.

    The dinner was very poor. The placement of The hotel is noisy. Bath wall is missing for us and the shower head wasn’t work well. Uncomfortable bed and pillow.

    There was a beautiful sea view from the balcony. The design was nice. The breakfast was delicious and various. The beach was close to The hotel. You can reach everything by bus. The staff so kind and helpful.

    The most annoying part was loud guests checking in at night who didn't care about people sleeping. Also the housekeepers were moving the chairs loudly during their cleaning.The thin walls and tiled floor made the noise worse The shower head holder was broken so it couldn't hold the shower head which made it uncomfortable to shower. The view from the balcony wasn't great and there was a road close to the hotel with lots of loud motorcycles cars and what not. The area is not the best either.

    The breakfasts were delicious with lots of variety. The room was spacious and a good size balcony. There is Lidl and another huge Greek supermarket nearby. 5 mins from the nearby beach.

    I don't know if the last-minute nature of our booking meant the hotel had to scramble a bit to get the room together but there was no plug for the bath and no shower curtain either. No kettle in the room either, which for a tea-obsessed Brit was a disappointment but, as I say, this saved us in the middle of the night. Though breakfast was pretty good, nectarines were the only fresh fruit available; everything else was tinned. My preference is for a decent healthy dose of fruit at the start of the day so I think that would have bothered me, were I staying more than one night. It was a 30 Euro taxi ride from the station (easyJet have picked up this bill for the cancellation).

    This was an emergency booking when our flight got cancelled so we arrive late but were very glad to get into comfortable beds in a decent size room with a balcony. The next day, while we waited for our new flight, we enjoyed a decent breakfast with plenty of options (particularly for carb fans). The staff were all lovely, helpful and accommodating. They let us store our bags with them whilst we made use of the pool which was lovely to cool off in when the lounger-based sun-soaking got too much. Bus back to the airport was a lovely way to weave through the city on our way home and only cost 2 Euros each.

    Hotel rooms are a little outdated in decoration but still have all the basic amenities. Hotel is not a walking distance to the city in my opinion, and would be better suited for a person travelling with car. Many breakfast options were available, however not all were very good quality (bacon had consistency of leather). Hotel.is also situated between two busy roads so there is some traffic noise all throughout the day.

    Hotel went through, what seems like recent renovations. The pool area is clean and nice, pool itself.is deep 2.9m on one end, the reception is very well maintained and modern. Staff was helpful at the reception desk.

    It was a bit loud since it lies directly at a frequently used street even in the night it was never really quiet.

    Nice convenient hotel in the near of Heraklion stadium. Breakfast was good and plenty. The beach is only 200 m away and nearly empty. There are some nice bars and restaurants nearby.

    A pillow was a bit too stiff

    Seriously, I'd say it's a great place for the value. Thus, breakfasts here are rather tasty, though their variations are a bit limited. Our room was big and spacious, everything you need here (including TV, hairdryer, air conditioner). Also they cleaned the room every single day, adding toilet paper and soap/shampoo when needed. It's worth mentioning there is a supermarket just across the road and another one (Lidl) nearby, and since we had a fridge in the room, well... buying a pack of water is a good idea. The nearest beach is a 5-7 minute walk. We enjoyed our time here

    Hotel is very nice, pool is excellent, breakfast is good, everything is very very clean, which is important to me and the staff and service is excellent. Location is good, the bus station to the center of Heraklion is near by hotel, so it's very easy to visit the city or Knossos palace Also, near by is a hipermarket, if you need something, so the location has lots of positive characteristics. It takes about 10 min by foot to the nice beach. The most important for me is the nice and very pollite staff and service that you can get in this hotel. I will recommend it to my friends and family.

    Unfortunately the breakfast was really bad for us. Omlet was the worst I have ever tried. No juices just nectars full of sugar. It was really hard to choose something to eat for us.

    Just few minutes with bus to reach the city. Nice and comfy rooms. We enjoyed the pool because the beach was not the nicest one compare to the one we visited before on Crete.

    Friendly welcome, staff is helpful. Location is good, 7-10 km from airport or harbor or Héraklion city center, beach at 400 m.. . Nice swimming pool. Rooms are not big but sufficient, with a terrasse. Breakfast is great with lot of different foods. Good value!

    There is one thing which was really unbearable - noise. We lived at the 4th floor and we were lucky because we didn’t hear noises from the street. However, we weren’t so lucky with the neighbors. French-speaking young people living next to us were constantly bumping the door 4 times in a row in the middle of the night (1-2am). And after that they were screaming and laughing like nobody else lived there except them. I simply couldn’t sleep because of that noise, I could hear everything, like they were in my room. Soundproofing must be better!

    Everything was close to perfect. I would like to express my gratitude to the workers at the reception desk - they were always kind, understanding and helpful. People, who were working at the restaurant were also very nice and helpful, especially the man who was frying pancakes. Without those people our stay wouldn’t we so comfortable. When we arrived too early for the check in, we were allowed to leave the suitcases in the lobby. When we checked out and had some time before the flight, we were allowed to use the swimming pool. I’m grateful for that! The breakfast food was varied and every day there was something new what is important when you stay there for 10 days. The location is amazing, you can get from the airport for 1,5€ and the bus stop is just in front of the hotel. The bus stop to the city center is also very conveniently located.
