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.

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.
This hotel is an absolute gem! Located just 200 meters from the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, it’s incredibly convenient—right outside, you can catch a bus to Knossos Palace for only 5 euros round-trip. My room was fantastic: spotless bathroom, a small balcony perfect for morning coffee, and great overall ambiance. The only downside? It’s near the main road, so nighttime traffic noise can be noticeable if you’re a light sleeper. Also, while not directly on the beach, the sea view is a bit of a stretch—still, the location makes up for it. Everything you’d expect in a well-run boutique stay: a kettle, complimentary bottled water, and top-notch breakfast. I literally couldn’t finish all the food—so generous! And the coffee? Hands down the best I’ve had in years—rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. If I ever return to Heraklion, this will be my first choice again.
Stayed just one night and already can't stop raving about this place! The hotel is incredibly convenient—right next to the ferry port, with plenty of restaurants, pharmacies, and a major bus station all within walking distance. I didn’t need to rely on taxis at all; everything was super accessible. My room was spotless, the bed was comfortable and supportive, and the overall atmosphere felt cozy and well-maintained. It’s perfect for travelers who value location and simplicity without sacrificing comfort. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Heraklion looking for a stress-free base. Great value, great vibes, and an excellent experience in just one night.
Staying at Galaxy Iraklio Hotel was an absolute delight! The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed with modern amenities—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

The staff went above and beyond with their friendly, attentive service—always smiling and ready to help. I especially loved the slow-roasted lamb—it was tender, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The island has so much to offer in terms of food, culture, and scenery, and this hotel makes it even easier to enjoy it all. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-located stay with excellent value, this is definitely one of the top choices on Crete.
