Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great restaurants and local shops.

Legacy Gastro Suites

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.

Capsis Astoria Heraklion

Staying at this hotel in the heart of Heraklion was a fantastic experience—its central location makes it super convenient for exploring the city, whether you're heading to shops or museums. The room layout is unique with the sink placed in the bedroom area, which works well for quick morning routines. However, one thing that stood out was the bathroom setup: the shower and toilet areas aren’t fully separated, so after a shower, water would spread all over the floor. It’s a bit risky and not very practical. I’d highly recommend installing a proper door or glass partition between the shower and toilet zones for better safety and hygiene. Despite this small drawback, the hotel excels in location, cleanliness, and overall value. It’s definitely a great choice if you’re looking for comfort and convenience in the city center.

I spent a few evenings catching up on my favorite shows, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from day one. Breakfast was a highlight too—offering variety each morning, so it never got boring. Plus, dining at the on-site restaurant came with a nice discount. The only minor downside was some noise from the street level at night, but it didn’t ruin the overall experience. With such great value, excellent service, and a prime location, this hotel is a top pick for anyone visiting Heraklion.

Evangelia Residenza, Elegant Stay in Herakleion!

This was a great base for our trip to Herakleion — spacious, well-located, and thoughtfully laid out. The apartment has three bedrooms, a fully functional kitchen, and a comfortable living area that made it feel like home. While we didn’t get a chance to use the small outdoor space, it’s there if you want some fresh air. Air conditioning in every main room is a big plus, especially during Crete’s hot months, and having a washer-dryer combo is a real convenience. It’s a 10–15 minute walk to the heart of the city, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants, shops, and local charm. Check-in was seamless — we received a code in advance, so no need to meet anyone or wait around. The property manager was responsive by text, which was helpful. That said, two things stood out: the mattresses were extremely firm, which might not suit everyone, especially those with back issues. More importantly, the Wi-Fi was barely usable — it dropped constantly and made streaming or even browsing frustrating. This really needs attention. Despite these drawbacks, we’d stay again if the internet issue were fixed. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers looking for comfort and value in a central location.
