Great location near the airport. Paid for the hotel to order taxi service from the airport. Was easy and no issues dropping off at the hotel. Be careful as there are two Sofia hotels within a few blocks from each other. Drivers have gotten confused

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.

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.

Chambre simple avec petit déjeuner

Nous avions réservé une chambre simple avec petit déjeuner, assez correct pour le prix. Ne vous attendez pas à un hôtel de villégiature, à un hôtel de transition , très proche de l'aéroport, donc très pratique on vient d'arriver tardivement comme nous. Quartier pas génial, assez délabré mais à une demi-heure de marche du centre d'héraklion. Quelques restaurant s de pâtisserie boulangerie supérette autour très sympa, qui dépanne très bien. Etat de l hotel correct ,mais pas de quoi s émerveiller.

Stayed here for 1 night as it was close to the airport. Rooms weren’t clean and it had a smell to it. Bed was very uncomfortable and the sheets were paper thin. Super old hotel - wouldn’t stay here again but managed because it was only 1 night.
