Sadly, this review does not allow me to highlight some of the actual benefits of this property. The greeting was amazing the place as a fantastic façade and very inviting, but sadly, the rooms are very dated, and there is housekeeping products all over the floors. The rooms are extremely dated and the crew covers are disgusting and should be replaced immediately. It was what I required, which is absolutely location to the port for an early morning ferry. It did not help the strikes on time whilst this is not the Hotel’s fault. It did add sadly to the dissatisfaction.

Heraklion budget hotel.

It s a budget hotel centrally located close to the port. It is not boutique by any stretch of the imagination. It is small, clean and adequate for a budget conscious traveler.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property was atrocious. We went to checks in and there was billed proof glass at the counter, a huge panel of security monitors visible in the lobby and it is on a terrible street. I attempted to give it the benefit of the doubt and when I went upstairs the hallway has wires dangling from what appeared to be a ripped out security camera. The room was dirty as is couldn’t even use the restroom, I saw evidence of bed bugs and there was literally a window that showed into the room from the hall that passing guests could look in. We were in the room 1.5 minutes bf immediately leaving and notifying reception we would not be staying bc it was dirty and unsafe - they refuses to reverse the charge they made just moments before. I immediately booked another location and filed a charge back. DO NOT BOOK HERE. You have been warned

The location was perfect for the ferry. The beds were uncomfortable, it’s on a busy street, and the bar was not particularly accommodating. Our room was not ready and we had to wait over 30 mins for it despite arriving 2 hours after check in time.

Love this place- closest thing to airport hotel

Fantastic. Dubious at first, but probably the closest thing to an airport hotel, with good basics you can’t take for granted in Crete, like a hairdryer, great AC, extra towels, and it was scrupulously clean. Close to pharmacy, bakery, supermarkets, and the divine restaurant Taverna Vardis. Luggage storage, a cafe, nice patio kind of lounge for drinks even if facing the main road. Offered a breakfast you order the night before. For the breakfast, they set your table and have it waiting at the time you select. Good food, French Press style coffee. My mother was discharged from the hospital (hip replacement) straight to the hotel and they were SO helpful. Gave us privacy and support where we needed it. Tiny lift but worked a treat.
