Old style hotel with basic rooms but great location and friendly staff. Perfect for visiting Knossos and heraklion museums. Great restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Also just a few minutes walk to fort, port and bus station. Rooms basic with very old showers, but beds surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast had ok choices but lacking in quality. Good budget / mid range choice for short stay.

We had an absolutely phenomenal view of the port from our room, beyond what we could have ever expected. The room itself was decent but I couldn’t get the shower to turn on and there was some mold in the corners of the bathtub, not too big of a deal for a one night stay but we did let them know about it before we left. Breakfast was tasty and the hotel is perfectly located with a short walk to the port.

Hotel is in a great location next to the Harbor and the center of the city. The staff are excellent, and the morning breakfast buffet was excellent as well. Our room (with huge balcony) faced the port, and the view was breathtaking (similar to the view from the breakfast room). The room itself was fine but had poor lighting but good A/C. Bathroom as well was dull (color scheme), and poor lighting but clean. BTW the airport is close by and the planes take off predominantly toward the city harbor and they are close and loud (impacts all hotels and residents). We would stay again without hesitation.

I chose this property due to its proximity to the ferry terminal and only stayed one night. It was about a 15 minute walk from the ferry to the property, and check-in was easy. Breakfast options were plentiful and I especially appreciated the cappuccino machine and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Our room overlooked the harbor with a view of the fort. The hotel is no-frills but clean and has everything you need!
