Reviews and Ratings
I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was a mixed experience. The location was great for our late arrival, being close to the airport and Heraklion city center. The rooms were comfortable, and I enjoyed relaxing on the balcony in the afternoon. However, the staff seemed overly attentive at times, making me feel a little rushed, and the dining options weren't the best. Overall, it’s convenient for a short stay but may not be ideal for a longer getaway.
