    location advantage
    bathroom issues
    elevator problems

    quiet pedestrian area, efficient luggage locker, convenient air conditioning

    Bathroom size barely accommodates average adults!!! Showers without doors lead to water all over the floor!!! Additionally, the elevators are too cramped for comfort!!! The hotel's maintenance and renovation could use serious attention!!!

    fantastic spot for exploring heraklion's city center attractions

    staying in this hotel made my mornings amazing as I strolled to the nearby Morosini Fountain to enjoy a cup of coffee and then later walked just a few steps to the archaeological museum for some fascinating history—definitely a perfect base for exploring the lively streets of Heraklion!

    great value
    pleasant balcony
    small bathroom

    Great value for the price with an excellent location right in the heart of town. My room had a pleasant balcony overlooking the busy streets, which made for nice people-watching. The housekeeping staff did a fantastic job cleaning every day, keeping everything tidy and organized. The bathroom, though recently renovated, was quite small and had a door that almost hit the toilet, making it a bit challenging to navigate. Occasionally, the noise from the hallway echoed through the atriums, making it harder to sleep at times. The breakfast choices could definitely use some improvement, especially for those who prefer non-carb options. They still served breakfast in paper bags, which felt outdated. I think an upgrade to their breakfast setup would make a significant difference in the overall experience.

    thin walls
    tiny shower

    I stayed in a Standard Twin Room for 3 nights as a solo traveler. The room was really clean, which was awesome. But it was in an old building, so the walls were thin—I could hear neighbors quite easily. The shower was tiny, and I felt a bit cramped in there. It worked well though! For breakfast, it was simple but good value, just don’t expect anything fancy.
