Clean room, no parking but we were aware of that as free parking is offered at the mall next door. Clean room and a few restaurants near by, nice but small roof top pool and lounge. Good for shorter stays and close to the port.

This is a very nice, new and modern hotel. The breakfast every morning is very good and contains a lot of options and variety of food. We arrived early in the morning on our check-in day, and the staff was incredibly friendly and got our room together as soon as possible for check-in a bit before the standard time. Nice view from the sea-facing side of the hotel and only about a 20 minute walk to Heraklion center with a lot of restaurants, shopping, souvenirs, etc. Overall, this was a great stay.

Everything about hotel was 5 star , rooms , amenities , staff , location . Literally boutique hotel close to everything. Only draw back was we stayed Saturday with our room facing water , bar next door blasting music till 4 am . Thought it was odd that they included ear plugs in their welcome amenities. Once again , property and staff amazing . Just do not book a room on that side of hotel on a Friday/ Saturday night .

A very nice hotel, a bit outside of the city centre of Heraklion, however taxis are available and not too expensive. The staff is very charming and professional. There is a small pool on the roof and a nice little bar. The rooms are big. The parking at the neighbouring shopping centre is ideal and without charge. It is a good parking. The only thing: There is bar next to the hotel, which plays music until late night. Depending on the temper of the DJ, that can be extremely loud. The first night was bad, the second night was better. The hotel is offering eardrops.

The hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were lovely, and the beds were comfortable. The view from our balcony was amazing! It was conveniently located across the street from a mall that had plenty of options for food. The breakfast at the hotel was very good. Most importantly, the staff was phenomenal! Everyone was so courteous and helpful, which made our stay incredibly enjoyable! The only drawback was that there was no close access to a beach across the street, but they had a gorgeous infinity pool on the rooftop. The weather was not suitable for swimming the day we stayed there so not having access to beach did not affect our plans.
