Exceptional from beginning to end. Helpful and communicative with arrival and taxi for departure. Delicious breakfast with offerings for all. I loved how comfortable the seat was at the breakfast lounge. Cozy and quaint modern room. Perfect for solo travelers. Location allowed to add my fitness steps in but not far at all from all the shops and restaurants. Frankly, it allowed me to see a bit of the local culture. I'd probably choose one of their big rooms if I traveled as a couple, but the queen standard I booked could serve its purpose, too.

FAQs about hotels in Heraklio

The Cradle of Minoan Civilisation

Nowadays known as the capital of the Greek island of Crete, Heraklion was once the centre of the Minoan civilisation and the port of the ancient Knossos. This stunning gem features rich history, outdoor markets and important archaeological sites.

Just 6 km from the lively Heraklion is the world-renown ruins of the Knossos palace, where according to the Greek mythology Daedalus built a labyrinth to hold the Minotaur.

Home to the 16th-century church of Agia Ekaterini, the cathedral of St. Minas, Venetian Loggia and the Archaeological Museum, this destination is much more than just a cosmopolitan city with vibrant nightlife. Do not forget to wander around the old port or visit the Venetian Walls.

Beach lovers can discover some of the most popular places of Crete like the tourist resorts of Malia and Hersonissos, the golden beach of Amoudara and the fishing village of Agia Pelagia.

The international airport of Heraklion, Nikos Kazantzakis, is the largest one in the island and the second busiest in Greece. Situated about 4 km from the city centre, it offers seasonal flights to Vienna, Barcelona, Zurich and St. Petersburg. Booking.com offers a great variety of hotels in Heraklion.

    Heraklion has a lot of car and bike traffic.

    Heraklion has a lot of car and bike traffic. It is like peak hour in Sydney constantly. Parking is horrendous. I would recommend staying out of Heraklion. Drive to Knossos Palace, but go early. The other attraction for us was the Archaeological Museum. Get a uber or taxi to that. The foreshore looks like they gave up on it years ago. After Chania, Heraklion was a disappointment.

    Of the 3 major cities, Heraklion has the most interesting sites and museums - especially the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Science . Rethymnon was the most relaxing and romantic. Chania was far too touristy, but the Natural History Museum is excellent with exhibits well-titled in English

    Heraklio is perfect for those who want to go sightseeing rather than only beach. It is a bustling city with an excellent museum and good transport links. The bus timetables aren't the easiest to understand and if you want to really explore Crete you may wish to consider renting a car.

    Location (very near the centre and a few minutes away from the harbour area), extremely helpful staff, excellent buffet breakfast and clean and comfy rooms. The hotel’s restaurant food is good too. Reception staff can give you a list of day trips and will book them for you. Good internet connection. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. 15-minute walk to KTEL coach station (for other destinations in Crete). 10-minute walk to the Archaelogical museum where you can also catch the bus to Knossos.

    The hotel is located in a great location, right in the heart of the city. There is a bus station nearby that will take you directly to other cities of Crete. The accommodation was clean and pleasant. The rooms are quite spacious. A minor minus was the very soft mattress, but it's only a small thing. There was a beautiful Greek atmosphere here and we will definitely always be happy to come back. I always come here to Stalida. What takes breakfasts - super tasty and very vaious.

    Good for business trip. Don’t choose it if you are a tourist, maybe just for two-three nights only. Close to city center and harbor. Pool on the roof is useless, very small and always busy with other people or their towels. But view from there is stunning. Bed and room were very comfortable. Lobby is not what I would expect from 5* hotel. But coffee at the breakfast was much better than anywhere in Crete.
