Reasonably priced for one night

Good value for money. We needed a budget stopover having flown in late night. Close to airport, clean, reasonably quiet and an fairly comfy bed for two sleepy travellers.

Our stay at the Asterion Hotel was short (about 12 hours) but comfortable. The front desk staff were gracious and accommodating to our needs. A special shout out to Stelios, who prepared an awesome continental breakfast for us since we had to leave so early (0430). We scrambled to make our flight so having some good food in us was greatly appreciated. THANKS STELIOS!!!! We look forward to our next trip to Crete and chance to stay at the Asterion.

It was alright. Maybe more of a $40 a night hotel than the close to $70 that I paid but the staff was nice enough. Really not much of an advantage over some other slightly more expensive hotels or cheaper hostels
