Staying at Marin Hotel was an absolute delight! The moment I stepped into the room, I was captivated by the elegant design and clean, modern vibe. But the real highlight? The ocean view—right outside my window, the endless blue of the Mediterranean stretched out like a postcard. Waking up to that sight every morning felt like a little vacation in itself. The breakfast was equally impressive—fresh, delicious, and full of local flavors. I especially loved the homemade pastries and the vibrant fruit selection. The location is perfect too: just a short walk or quick metro ride away from the heart of Heraklion, with plenty of great restaurants and lively spots nearby. Everything about this stay was top-notch—from the service to the ambiance. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet convenient getaway.
The hotel was absolutely perfect! The rooms were stunning and immaculately clean, with a real artistic vibe that made the stay feel special. Being just a short walk from the city center is a huge plus—everything you’d want is within easy reach on foot. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to help. The only minor downside is if you’re arriving by car: the narrow streets make parking tricky, and there’s limited space nearby. There is a paid parking garage on the main road leading into the alleyways, but it’s not super close to the hotel. It would’ve been helpful if the hotel had mentioned this detail during booking or check-in. Overall, though, this place offers an exceptional experience—great location, beautiful design, and excellent service. I’d definitely stay here again.

Breakfast was solid: eggs, local sausages, flavorful ham, fresh veggies, cheese, and a cappuccino that was just a touch sweet but still enjoyable. The packaged juices were convenient and safe to drink. One thing to note is that due to the hotel’s proximity to the airport, you can clearly hear planes taking off and landing—but honestly, that’s expected and manageable. Getting here from the airport was super easy via bus (just three stops), which was a huge plus after long flights. You can get to your room quickly and rest without hassle.

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.
