Staying at So Young Hostel in Heraklion was an absolute highlight of my trip to Crete! The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Public transport is super convenient too. What really stood out was the staff—friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. They went the extra mile to assist with recommendations and even helped me plan a day trip around the island. The dorm rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a great value for the price. Whether you're traveling solo or with friends, this hostel offers a warm, social atmosphere without compromising on comfort. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to any budget-conscious traveler exploring Greece.
Staying at Intra Muros Hostel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Heraklion. The staff, made up of friendly volunteers, went above and beyond to help with everything from local recommendations to navigating the city. The rooftop is a fantastic spot—perfect for relaxing during the day or mingling with fellow travelers in the evening. I loved how central it is; major shopping areas are just a short walk away, and there’s a 24-hour convenience store within five minutes’ stroll, which is super convenient when you need something late at night. The vibe is welcoming, clean, and full of energy without being overwhelming. It’s clear the team cares about creating a great experience. This place offers unbeatable value and charm—I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Crete.
Staying at Mirabello Hotel was a fantastic experience! Located right in the heart of Heraklion, it’s incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the port and bus station, making it easy to explore all the main attractions. The area is bustling with great restaurants, so dinner options are plentiful and varied, from local Greek cuisine to casual dining. My room was cozy and well-maintained, with a kettle that came in super handy for making tea or coffee anytime. The location, comfort, and value made this stay truly memorable. I’d definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Heraklion.
This was the perfect place to stay for our last night on Crete. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable—exactly what we needed after a long trip. There's ample parking right on-site, which is a huge plus if you're arriving by car. The breakfast selection was excellent, with fresh options and great variety. It’s also conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to explore on foot or take public transit. Overall, an outstanding experience—highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Heraklion.
The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the heart of Heraklion, making it easy to explore all the city has to offer. I loved how close it was to public transport and local attractions, so getting around was hassle-free. The breakfast wasn’t overly varied, but everything was fresh, well-prepared, and tasted great—especially the local pastries and Greek yogurt. What really stood out was the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations or directions. Their warm hospitality made the whole stay feel personal and special. It’s rare to find such a cozy, well-located hotel with such genuine service. Definitely worth staying at again if I ever return to Crete.
I've been staying at this hotel for years, and it's always top-tier. First off, the welcome is genuinely warm and authentic—staff are friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with any request. Even though I speak Greek, I appreciate how the owner, a charming gentleman with a distinctly Cretan aristocratic flair, speaks flawless French, making communication effortless for fellow Francophones. The daytime front desk team is equally pleasant and attentive. The location is perfect—quiet, peaceful street, yet steps away from everything you need. Rooms are immaculately clean, down to the smallest detail. And the breakfast? Absolutely sumptuous—huge variety, fresh, delicious, and more than enough to fuel a full day of exploring. It’s rare to find such consistency in service, cleanliness, and hospitality. Honestly, what more could you ask for? This place feels like home, and I’ll definitely be back.
Absolutely fantastic value for money! The hotel's location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the airport, right in the heart of Heraklion, and steps away from the beach. There’s a free shuttle bus stop right outside the property that takes you straight to the city center—no extra cost, no hassle. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-designed with modern touches. The staff go above and beyond with their warm, helpful service—always smiling and ready to assist. And yes, the pool is a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring the island. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, this place delivers on every front. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Stayed at Pasiphae Heraklion Hotel with my mom for one night, and I was genuinely impressed. The property feels a bit dated but everything works perfectly and has all the essentials you'd need. The room and bathroom were spotless—impeccable cleanliness throughout. It's just a 10-minute walk from the bus station, close to the port, and well-connected to the airport and major attractions like Knossos Palace. For the price, the value-for-money ratio is outstanding. This place is perfect if you're not chasing luxury but still want comfort and convenience. One small downside: the elevator starts on the first floor, so you have to climb about ten steps to get to it—but honestly, that’s a minor inconvenience and nothing that affects the overall experience. Overall, a great choice for travelers looking for a no-frills, reliable stay in Heraklion.
Great option if you land late at night. The location right next to the airport runway is truly unique—falling asleep to the sound of planes taking off and landing is an experience in itself. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which adds a nice touch. While the room cleanliness could use some improvement, it's still a solid choice for a single night stay. One thing to note: the engine noise from the planes is actually louder inside the room than it is on the plane! It’s not ideal for light sleepers or anyone wanting complete quiet. But for a quick overnight stop after a long flight, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience and a memorable vibe. Definitely worth considering if you're catching an early morning flight.
The location is actually great—close to the airport and just a short walk from the beach, making it convenient for travelers who prioritize proximity over comfort. However, the reality falls far short of expectations. The water barely comes out of the bathroom tap, the shower area is completely inadequate, and the furnishings look old and poorly assembled. Cleaning was extremely poor—there’s no excuse for such low standards in a guest accommodation. When I asked about a hairdryer, I was told there wasn’t one available, which is unacceptable for even basic amenities. The entire property consists of two containers sitting in an empty spot, turning into a sauna during the day and freezing at night. It feels like no care was put into either the space or the guests. Honestly, this place might appeal to someone seeking an extreme off-grid experience, but for most travelers looking for a decent stay, this is not worth it. If you’re after something unique and don’t mind rough conditions, maybe it’s for you. But for comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality? Definitely not recommended.
The staff greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile right from the moment we arrived—such a nice touch! To our delight, we were unexpectedly upgraded to a room with an amazing view, which made our stay truly unforgettable. Waking up to the natural light pouring through the windows and overlooking the historic surroundings was simply magical. The location is perfect—close enough to explore downtown Heraklion yet quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. Public transportation is just steps away, making it easy to get around. This hotel offers incredible value and charm, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Crete.
Staying at Aquila Atlantis Hotel was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk or quick transit ride to the airport, the beach, the old fortress, and countless restaurants and cafes. Whether you're looking for local dining, car rental, or just exploring the city, everything is within easy reach. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. From check-in to checkout, every detail felt thoughtfully considered. It’s rare to find such convenience combined with excellent service and value. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this gem to anyone visiting Heraklion.
