The Hotel was nicely located to be able to reach different signs by foot with a nice restaurant right across the street. Unfortunately, the AC condensated onto the floor.

Room was clean and bed was very comfortable.The staff were very pleasant and helpful. My only complaint was my room faced the street and at times it was quite noisy. Parking is a premium on the street but the hotel has an arrangement with the city for parking at 8 euro/day
The breakfast was first rate!

Great hotel for a quick stopover in Heraklion. Comfy beds and friendly staff. The streets around are quite narrow so if you plan on having a rental car, just be aware.
