"I think the property is a super location to the vital parts of the town. The access was smooth and simple when coming from the airport. Checking out was easy and they even have a luggage store if your flight is later and need somewhere to store it until your departure! I did have a broken small shower head in my bathroom but the rainfall shower made this no issue. Would highly recommend a stay here to anyone."

RoccaMare Heraklion - Handwritten Collection

8/10 Good
"Overall, it’s a pretty great hotel, but it’s not worth the price point. Pros: - clean room and shared spaces - very warm staff, super helpful and great service - good breakfast selection - welcome drink and traditional beverage provided - in room amenities (hair dryer, iron, tv with many international channels) are great Cons: - for a newly built hotel there were some small issues that you wouldn’t expect. For example the bathroom door in our unit wouldn’t easily close without a very firm push. - there is a club/restaurant across the street and they were playing very loud music and singing until 3:30 AM and even with the windows closed it could be heard. We were told that the hotel will be undergoing some renovations to help with this soon so hopefully it will be fixed. - location is close to the water and some beaches but a little further from the city centre where most of the shops and restaurants are. We found it difficult to get taxis to the hotel so we walked around 20-30 mins which might pose a challenge if you have mobility issues."
