Nice stay close to the HER airport. Took the public bus to the hotel from the airport (2 EU person). The room was basic and clean, a great place to stay after a long flight and before renting a car to travel around the island. Very good buffet breakfast with a variety of items including breads, cakes, cookies, pasties, eggs, yogurt, cold cuts, etc.

Great hotel near the airport. Our flight arrived late at night, so perfect for our first night in Crete. Staff very friendly and efficient.

10/10 Exceptional

We only spent one night here and arrived in the evening. The hotel is very nice and had a small restaurant where we had dinner. The pool was lovely and clean and we were able to find parking for our rental car. I would have booked this hotel again on our return to Heraklion, but it was full and we couldn't get a reservation. It's convenient to the port and the airport.
