Heraklio Town, 75 Dimokratias Ave 🧭 Map
Excellent quality hotel with a large and beautiful swimming pool, very comfortable rooms and professional and attentive staff. A true 5* hotel, a 5-minute walk from the historic center of Heraklion. This is not our first stay and we are never disappointed. The price-quality ratio is absolutely correct.
A lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and patiently recommended food and group tours, great 👍
The room was great! The hotel is in a convenient location and the service is great. It should be the best hotel on the island? There are so many delicious things to do on Ke Island! The slow-roasted lamb is really delicious! !
we could not find a hotel in the southern crete, and luckly it is only one hour drive back to heraklion. this is the best hotel we could find in the souther area of keraklion.
We were seven people in our group. We had an amazing stay over here very recently. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Though rooms are a bit small for our liking, they’re very nicely decorated. Beds are comfortable. All the amenities one needs are provided.
The staff are very enthusiastic and friendly, breakfast has many delicious dishes.

Heraklio Town, 2 Ygias Street 🧭 Map
Good location. The reception looks nice and staff is friendly. We had agreed on a wakeup call since we had an early morning flight but they forgot that, we got up with our own alarms so that turned out fine fortunately.
The reception area looks nice, the rooms are old and need some upgrade. I would not classic this as a 5 star hotel, 3 stars at top.

One of the authentic hotels in crete island. It was built in 1964 originally. It seems renovated recently. Good view on harbor side. Hotel staffs are friendly and professional. Only weak point is GYM 🏋️♀️ facilities. Relatively small and lack of machines. Smell from the gym is not good..
The hotel is in an ideal location. But I would never call this a 5 star hotel the toilet was dirty the swimming pool was small. For 5 stars i expected alot more. Furthermore on their website it said that they have parking. However once we got to the hotel they told us that they have one but only a very very small one, basically they refused our car and told us to park it somewhere else. Honest decent...
This is decidedly not a 5 star hotel although they think they are.
You arrive and there is no one to even ask if they can take your bags let alone actually do it. There is no bellman at the door.
Front desk couldn’t find the reservation and grilled us for the proof although our tour company made it months previous. A 5 minute check-in took a frustrating 20 minutes because when they finally found it...
Aquila Atlantis Hotel is a solid place to stay in Heraklion - the location is excellent, close to the city center and easy to explore nearby sights and walkable to great food spots. I don't think I would call it a 5-star because the carpets could be updated and the amenities were basic, but it was a comfortable stay and a fair price. Breakfast was good, decent variety, but the coffee machine wasn't...
The hotel looks a bit dated but still okay. The staff are very nice and warm. The breakfast buffet was also very good with a wide variety. Room was clean and spacious.

The staff is very friendly. Lady Effie is very kind and helpful with check in and check out . Restaurant at 5th floor has excellent view of the harbor. Cannot miss that! Breakfast is very quite special.
Very good hotel, opposite the port, within walking distance of getting on and off the ship, close to the old town, museums, Koules Fortress, and within walking distance of Heraklion city attractions. It is clean and sanitary, with free parking, which is convenient for self-driving.
What a lovely stay in Crete! This hotel is gorgeous and spotless. The Breakfast Buffet was outstanding, and every staff member I encountered during my 3-day stay was smiling and helpful. My Executive seaside room was spacious and well-furnished, and it was a perfect place to recharge on my 3-week journey. It was an easy walk from the port (I arrived with SeaJets), and the public bus to the Palace...
The hotel is a historical building, located right next to the pier and bus station. The rooms are spacious and the sunlight is particularly beautiful! The bedside cushions are really thoughtful and are changed together with the bedding for each guest! There is also a turndown service at night, which is standard five-star.

This is the hotel I stay in every time I come to Crete. It is convenient for travel. Close to the beach, the rooms are simple and comfortable, and the staff has a good service attitude. The breakfast is rich with distinct local characteristics. When the weather is clear, the blue sky, white clouds and sea are unmatched.

Incredibly friendly staff, nice & modern hotel. We had great days there 🙂
Visited the Sentido Unique Blue resort with great pleasure. First and foremost the staff is extremely polite, helpful and above all good humoured. This made the stay memorable in combination with the great facilities, neat rooms and stunning vistas.
What makes it stand from other all inclusive resorts is that it still feels cozy and there is no need to rush for a beach or terrace bed.

I'm in love with this hotel - already planning next year's stay, and we haven't even left yet. Beautiful little hotel with very nice and helpful staff - love the small pool with the seaview to enjoy a cocktail in. Swimming in the sea is the best though, even if it's very salty here. It's all very mellow and relaxing. You can hear the planes arriving at the nearby airport quite well, but they don't...

Very nice personnel, very attentive and friendly and due to the small size of the hotel almost a family feeling.
Food is always fresh but may lack variety, but there is always something local next to the continental buffet.
Rooms are freshly renovated and adequate.
The pure sand beach is literally just falling down the stairs away.

My family and I stayed at Legacy Gastro Suites for seven nights in early July, and it was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s exceptional hospitality stood out — always friendly, professional, and ready with thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our stay.

Me and my boyfriend had an amazing stay at this hotel. We were there for four nights, and the staff were always so friendly and helpful. Very special shout out to Nikos on the reception - for the very best food recommendations ever! He made our trip very special.

I don't understand why Greek hotels often give downgraded rooms.
We stayed two nights at Legacy Gastro Suite before flying back home. Room 103 was okay with some wear downs. It was clean and close to the city bus(1-4 minutes walk). The shower is pretty good but water leaks outside to the floor. For two days stay it was okay

The hotel and beach were very beautiful nad well-kept. Staff was helpful and kind, always smiling. Entertainment was well-organized by likeable animators (especially water gym). Delicious, varied food. I highly recommend!
Very kind personnel, clean rooms (daily room service). Pools and animation team were perfect. Big waves most of the time. Really good food.
I like the hotel and the place where it is located very much. In particular, the people who work there are so kind! Maria, maître d 'hotel, has given me such a beautiful and unique birthday last year - it was a pleasure! The party at the greek barbeque was so great!

Because it is close to the port and attractions, I booked it for 2 days. Unfortunately, this is the worst hotel in my trip to Greece. There is a weird smell in the hotel. The sound insulation is poor, after all, it is on the island. But after staying for two days, the power outage occurred 3 times. The first two times were shorter, and the last time was longer, which was almost life-threatening. Because...
The hotel is in a good location, close to the commercial street, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk to the bus terminal and the port. However, the service level of the front desk is poor, and the professionalism is insufficient, especially the young lady on duty in the afternoon. We booked three rooms for 7 people. On the first day, each room was only given one door card, and each person was...
The room was large with a large balcony and sea view. Located in the old town, there are many restaurants around, and the food is also very good. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic and gave us a lot of travel suggestions.
Nice place. However, the staff was very rude with us. We traveled with our 11 months girl and asked to kindly prepare our very own baby food, which needed to cook just 4 minutes in plain, boiling water. They refused saying that it wasn't possible. We were very frustrated, as we didn't expect such a bad treatment from a 4 stars hotel and didn't know what to do. Luckily, the restaurant nearby accepted...

Outstanding hotel with excellent staff, friendly, professional, warm and responsive. Room extremely comfortable. Loved sitting out on balcony overlooking park with chairs, footstools and table. Very comfortable bed. Great shower. Spacious room. Breakfast was outstanding. Great location. So glad we chose Olive Green. Don’t miss the archeological museum!
I was tired from traveling, so I chose a centrally located hotel with front desk service, which was acceptable. I booked two nights on Ctrip, but the hotel provided two separate reservations, with different rooms and different rates, requiring separate check-ins. This meant I had to pack and check out after one night, then check in, and then go back to the front desk after 2 PM to get a key card for...
The Olive Green Hotel is a clean, friendly and helpful place to stay, in a great location in the middle of the best parts of Heraklion. The food at the restaurant is decently priced and tasted great, the staff were super helpful and can organise taxi's to the airport or port. The rooms are well priced and larger, which makes things easier for a longer stay.

The hotel is in a great location in the city center, convenient for shopping and visiting museums. The sink is in the bedroom, and the bathroom contains both a toilet and shower. After showering, the entire bathroom floor was flooded. I suggest the hotel separate the shower and toilet areas with a full door.
Great location, very comfortable bed
great location near the entrance of the old town. close to the port and bus stop. room was clean with amenities provided
Parking was available 👍 The roof ventilation was very loud at the pool, so unfortunately a longer stay at the pool was not possible for me. The hotel is a bit older, the rooms could do with renovation, everything was very worn.
Nice and pretty modern rooms. Great breakfast buffet. Wifi not reliable. Some cheap parkings nearby. Busy area but not noisy. Many nice restaurant options nearby.

The location of the hotel is very good, and the room you booked has a sea view as soon as you open the door, and the beach is just a few steps away. The only bad thing is that a lot of ants and bugs run into the room, and there is a very unpleasant smell behind the small refrigerator!
Nice premium bungalows with plenty of space for 3 persons. Nice beach with free sunbeds and good service if you want to order drinks and snacks.

Friendly staff, nice Hotel and some of the best Mojito‘s I ever had. Thank you for a nice Holiday.
The Cinema right next to the hotel can be heard pretty good, but it did not bother me.
Excellent personnel, very friendly. Rooms/facilities, for the price, not up to par. Standard room is very tiny but still expensive, we got an upgrade from the personnel which made it better. Minus points: loud outdoor music on right side of hotel, on left side loud outdoor movie theater. Beach is nice, but beds contantly occupied by people laying down towels at 7:30 am and views on Coal Power Plant...
Great hotel! Super friendly staff! Delicious food, and clean poolside + rooms!
Accomodation:
We had a super plus swim up room with our own super comfy sun bed right in front of our veranda. There are "public pools" which we also used, but it's a nice thing to have your own bed whenever you want to relax at the pool :)
Food:
The breakfast had a good choice of food (also vegan options available like...
My stay was amazing.
The hotel is very clean, nice staff, smells good, the room was perfect and the clean housework was done everyday :) The buffet was amazing with various choice of food with excellent quality. Since I have been visiting many hotel around the world this hotel deserves a 5 stars for Greece.
Thanks a lot to GEORGE he really made the difference ang good luck !
Can't wait to get another vacation in this Hotel.
The properties, the staff, the place of the hotel are excellent

Amoudara, Melinas Merkouri 🧭 Map
Very nice location close to Heraklion. There is hop on, hop off bus for sight seeing just in front of hotel. Hotel has pool, small pool with slides, it is close to beach. Food was very good through the day, there were also snacks on top of 3 main dishes. There was great animation program even for adults including stretching, aquafitness, sports such as volleyball, water polo. You have plenty of activities...
Huge resort with hotel rooms, bungalows and multiple canteens is in my opinion ideal for families with babies and small children. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated, beds are not very comfy, but hey, you won't be inside for most of the time. The beach is clean and equiped with free beach chairs for guests, beach bar is just a few steps away. Pool is also clean and big enough for multiple groups or families...
We had 9 fantastic days in te Dessole Dolphin Bay Resort. I think the price was worth it. The animation team was excellent, the food was delicious (the snack buffet at beach taverna was the best, the children loved it). The staff was very helpful. The bungalow we got was simple, but we liked the cretan style. The cleaning service came every day and changed the towels, cleaned up the room. Every place...
The manager Pepi is over there and she do the best to have that you need treatment!!! It's so beautiful and clever nice and friendly! The Hotel she have so nice food! And so beautiful gardens with tree's flowers everywhere! We love and we come back for the spa and the hotel!!!
Abgeordneten Spas Team Manager Pepi Therapist Rania It was a nice Massage! I enyoyed it very much. The Personal was nice and professional. Also the Hotel was nice also the Hotel Staff und especially the Animators. I would go again in this Hotel and the Spa
I had a wonderful stay! The best part was how friendly and helpful the staff were—they really made me feel welcome. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Everything was well organized and the service was excellent. Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. I’d definitely stay here again!

Atlantica Akti Zeus Hotel
Amoudara, Amoudara 🧭 Map
Very friendly staff, very good atmosphere and family friendly. The facilities are good. A great water park for children and the beach, when it's not windy, great too (beware, there is a barrier of big rocks to get into the sea, but then it's sandy and shallow). Food was great and the snack bar was very handy!

Heraklio Town, Nikolaou Katechaki 🧭 Map
Very cool stay for 1 night in 7Rizes Luxury Living ! Everything available, very neatly cared for, very modern and with a cozy roof terrace. Also the breakfast on the roof terrace was fine and Christina is very friendly and very helpful. Perfect hostess!
Chris - Belgium
Decent hotel, plus is service team and furnished rooms, downside very thin walls. Heard the doors slamming 5-6 times and thought it was our door! Also ramp to the garage is very tricky steep and dangerous.
If somebody is not using this garage, you will need luck to find an open parking slot as the alleys are small and tight
This is very nice cozy hotel! We stayed with our 9 months old baby and they provided baby cot as we asked. However they went beyond and provided changing mat and baby spoon. It really means a lot that they thought about our baby to have comfy stay as well! The room was nice, stylish, with comfortable bed. And they have greeat roof top area where you can enjoy sunset and where we had our breakfast....
We spent six nights at 7Rizes, the room was comfortable and clean and we really appreciated breakfast on the roof terrace.
It's close to airport and you can easily walk to city center.
Christina's mum is a really kind and caring person, my kids loved staying there ..... highly recommended.
Comfortable, clean and modern, fully equipped room and perfectly located in the city center. Excellent service, really felt like being home. Kids loved the breakfast! We enjoyed the roof garden! It really exceeded our expectations!
In case we're going back to Heraklion, we'll definitely going to stay in this hotel again!

Thank you for a nice time in your hotel. We are very pleased with the service. Special thanks 🥰 to the waiter Nikos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Greetings from Poland Monika, Asia and Krzysztof
Our stay at the Atlantica Akti Zeus was absolutely fantastic! The food was a real highlight – incredibly delicious and so diverse. We especially loved the abundance of fresh seafood and fish, and the desserts were divine, particularly the cheesecakes! It was such a treat to have snacks available all day at the grill snack bar, with tasty options like souvlaki, pita, gyros, and burgers. And the fresh...
Hello. Like every year, we choose a vacation. The offer of hotels in Europe is huge, as everyone knows, but despite that, we decided to return to you and use your services. Last year we were so satisfied that there is no other option for us this year. We are already looking forward to spending our vacation at the Atlantica Akti Zeus Hotel again. Therefore, on May 28-29, 2025, we are already looking...
We had an amazing stay at Atlantica Akti Zeus Hotel! The property is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with regular housekeeping that truly stands out. The food was varied and delicious, with plenty of options for both sweet and savory dishes.
The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help, something that is rare to find in many other countries. Their warm smiles and positive...
The standard of the hotel definitely exceeds expectations. The rooms are practically new and spacious. The service was helpful and not overbearing. Good food, beautiful green areas and a well-kept beach. I also recommend massages in the SPA zone. As for the location, a city bus leaves from right in front of the hotel, which takes you to the center of Heraklion. I recommend.
Very nice hotel with water park and close to the beach. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good quality food on the all inclusive. The snack bar was absolutely the best restaurant. Traditional Greek food. Greek salad, Tzatziki, pita, gyros, French fries. Very good and easy to access. Over all a very nice hotel with lots of facilities to enjoy your stay at.

Excellent hotel. I recommend it to everyone. Good food, rooms, pools, etc. The best thing was the animation programs where there were darts, football and other sports. There was also a mini-board for children and the animation team was nice. I recommend it.
Thank you so much for your hospitality to your entire staff. We would especially like to thank Mr. Manolis for his professional and human approach to guests, which is admirable and exemplary. Best regards, Rudolf, Eva and Adam from Prague, Czech Republic.
Very nice staff and service. Kids club met our expectations, entertainment crew was very welcoming. Hotel is located 30mins by bus from Heraklion city center, easy to get to see Knossos and Heraklion sights by public transport.
The Apollonio Resort Beach & Spa markets itself as a 5-star hotel — which was a key reason why we chose to book it. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. In reality, the property resembles more of an outdated 3- to 4-star establishment, frequented — regrettably, again and again — by guests whose behavior lacked basic social etiquette. At times, the atmosphere felt reminiscent...

Beautiful accommodation, great beach and awesome diverse food. The staff was very welcoming, especially Mohammed contributed to an awesome vacation. We will come back! :)

Dom Boutique Hotel
Heraklio Town, Almirou 14 🧭 Map
Honestly, we arrived late and because earlier ferry cancellations just ate breakfast and left. The breakfast had a large variety of good food, the staff was attentive and the rooms had simple luxury. The location is central.
Downtown stay
Nice clean hotel with a great staff. Good location with tons of dining options just a block away. Parking across the street for $12 euro.
We arrived and door was locked. No one there. No check in instructions. Our room had one tiny window. No natural light. Property doesn’t communicate with guests
Typical large hotel, everything is fine.
It is a good location because the subway is right next door, but it is close to Omonia station, so if you take the wrong road, you can get into trouble.
I got my wallet pick-pocketed while trying to transfer at Omonia station.
Very good experience, worth recommending
Great place to stay in the middle of everything! The staff were kind, the beds super comfortable and breakfast was included. There is not parking for the hotel directly but central parking is right in front and is discounted to 8€ (2023) for hotel guests. Overall great hotel!

This is the best hotel in Greece! Great location, beauty inside! I’ll be back again!
Amenities in room were perfect. Location very good as it is walking distance to a lot of restaurants, shops and other point of interests.
A very clean hotel with lovely staff! Our room was super clean and spacious, and enjoyed two balconies, one on each side of the room. The main balcony we used was at the back of the hotel with a nicer view, as the front balcony was a bit noisy with shops and directly across from a gym. The area is more of a city vibe, and we were hoping for an island vibe - a bit disappointing but still pretty. We...
Great apartment clean spacious modern with all amenities. The fact they provide a private parking (200m away but we'll worth it if you have a car) is incredibly helpful as parking spaces are very hard to find. If you plan to rent a car. I dont recommend going for an SUV. Take something compact. Some roads are very narrow.

Heraklio Town, 15 Epimenidou Street 🧭 Map
Great room with sea view. Helpful front desk. We are mid 70’s , sadly no offer of help with luggage. Restaurant has tasty food and great views.
We only stayed for one night but the people could not have been more helpful. The upstairs restaurant was superb with wonderful views across the Harbour and great food. Our bedroom was clean and the bed very comfortable. It was easy to do some exploring of the nearby streets and harbour from the hotel. Next time we'll stay longer!
The hotel was overall a good choice for a couple of nights right in the heart of Heraklion city and extremely convenient for visiting both the old and new ports. However, I am glad I was only here for two nights and spent the rest of my trip in another, more premium, hotel elsewhere on the island.
The Superior Double Room Sea View we had was surprisingly small with very little in it except a bed and...
I stayed at this hotel for 8 days and I must say it was a wonderful experience. The room we got was a superior sea side view which was amazing, also it conveniently placed close to some amazing food places around, just a 5 min walk to all the restaurants in the area, also the hotel restaurant has some great food. I must add that the central bus station is very close just a 10 minute walk too , It's...
The rooms are quite nice, some with a beautiful look on the harbour. The stuff was really nice. Would not recommend if you come travel by car. We took the ferry next day and the location was perfect for that. The breakfast was awesome. All in all it was a great hotel for the night but did not feel like a real „summer holiday“.
Location is great, close to all the attractions. Room is clean, bed is comfortable for a good sleep
