Absolutely loved my stay at 3 Pines Design Living! The apartment is beautifully modern, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean. It's just a short walk from the city center, making it super convenient for exploring all the local charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Everything was thoughtfully arranged—from the cozy bed to the stylish decor. I truly felt at home. I’d book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Heraklion.
Olive Green Hotel
Staying at Olive Green Hotel in Heraklion was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of the city, everything—sights, restaurants, and public transport—was just a short walk away. The room was spacious and recently renovated, with a surprising bonus: a tablet provided for guest use. 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.

The interior design is stunning, blending modern elegance with traditional Greek charm. My room was spacious, beautifully furnished, and incredibly comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring.

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.
Lato Annex Boutique Rooms
The location is incredibly easy to find—just follow the slope along the exterior wall of the Archaeological Museum after getting off the bus, and you’ll arrive right at the door. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a clean, inviting feel. Front desk services and breakfast are located in the main building across the street, while dinner is served on the fourth floor. They offer a choice of three courses, and the meal quality was solid. The dining area has great views of the Venetian Fortress and the harbor—especially beautiful at sunset. One small note: drinks are à la carte and paid for at the time of ordering, but that’s a minor detail. Overall, the experience was excellent, and the value for money is outstanding. I’d definitely stay here again.
Castello City Hotel
If you're dreaming of visiting Crete, this is the place you absolutely must stay at. Yes, it takes a bit of travel from Korea—bus transfers involved—but everything along the way is well-organized, with convenient stopovers, comfortable accommodations, and a great breakfast experience. The whole journey feels seamless and rewarding. Plus, the price is incredibly fair for what you get. I’d definitely come back here on any future trip to Crete—it’s truly a top choice.
Ezith Luxury Apartments
The location of Ezith Luxury Apartments is perfect for a relaxing getaway, just a short distance from Heraklion's city center with independent entrance access for privacy. While having some form of transportation is necessary to explore the area, I rented a scooter which made getting around incredibly convenient—perfect for spontaneous adventures. The pool area is outstanding: spacious sun loungers and an outdoor shower add to the resort-like vibe. It’s quiet, well-maintained, and offers a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. Highly recommend this place for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a serene atmosphere.
Chandakos 8 Design Apts
I absolutely loved this place! Right in the heart of the old town district, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the local shops, restaurants, and attractions—everything is within walking distance. The only minor downside is limited parking nearby, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. The apartment itself is beautifully designed with a modern, minimalist style, offering plenty of space and a cozy, comfortable feel. I especially enjoyed the small balcony—perfect for morning coffee with a view of the city. Everything you’d need for cooking is provided, and they even included two bottles of local spirits—a nice little touch. Before arrival, I received clear instructions on how to get the key, important tips, and some great recommendations for dining and sightseeing. The whole process was smooth and thoughtful. This is definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Heraklion—well worth every penny, and I’ll be back!
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.
City Life Port Hotel
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.
