8/10 Very good

Decent hotel within walking distance of the old town, Venetian port as well as the central bus station. Very friendly staff and the the room was comfortable and had a nice large balcony, but the level of cleanliness was not ideal: when we arrived to our room there were hairs stuck in the pillow covers and sheets and the bathroom had some mold in the shower and dust on the toilet and sink. The towels however were clean and got changed every 2 days. The breakfast was tasty albeit quite limited in terms of options, however on the last day we had the surprise of finding mold on a rice pudding... So overall an okay experience and a very convenient location, although the hotel would definitely benefit from a higher level of attention when it comes to cleaning.

2/10 Poor

Staff were nice but our AC dripped the entire time we were there. We used a bucket & glasses to catch the water. We told them the day we arrived and were told “ there was nothing they could do now”. That was fine because it was late but it was never addressed after that. I am pretty sure they knew cause when we checked in our room the window& door was opened and the AC was off. Had the AC been on, water would have been all over the floor. Other than the AC issue, it was a convenient walk to the ferry port, supermarket, car park & restaurants.

4/10 Fair

Do not stay here. Despite the great location, it is clear management simply does not care about the state of this hotel. Our room was too small for four people, the AC was broken, and constant street and plane noise made it impossible to open the windows (which blocked out most but not all of the noise). On top of that, the staff dropped off a baby crib without mattress or sheets. Furthermore, the barely functioning soap dispensers, the way too short shower curtain, and the fridge that was frozen over with ice made the owners’ overall apathy towards their property obvious. They clearly haven’t stepped into their own rooms in years. I recommend you follow their lead. Breakfast was good.

Old style hotel with basic rooms but great location and friendly staff. Perfect for visiting Knossos and heraklion museums. Great restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Also just a few minutes walk to fort, port and bus station. Rooms basic with very old showers, but beds surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast had ok choices but lacking in quality. Good budget / mid range choice for short stay.

The hotel is very close to the venetian port and within a 3 minute walk to the city center. The hotel stay was good. It is a good value for the money.

8/10 Very good

We had an absolutely phenomenal view of the port from our room, beyond what we could have ever expected. The room itself was decent but I couldn’t get the shower to turn on and there was some mold in the corners of the bathtub, not too big of a deal for a one night stay but we did let them know about it before we left. Breakfast was tasty and the hotel is perfectly located with a short walk to the port.
