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.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! And the location is good ☺️

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..
24.10.2025
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 hotel but definitely doesnt deserve 5 stars, would not go there again.

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, it was for one night not 3. They were to correct that problem “later.”
Clearly it was not corrected because on Day 2 we return to find we are locked out. The card worked on the elevator but not to the room.
According to the front desk, we created the lockout giving us several reasons as to why “we” likely demagnetized the cards. When I suggested that maybe “they” hadn’t extended our stay they doubled down on their intransigence. No apology and a poor attitude.

The hotel is well located and clean with comfortable suites but you have to find your way to the shops because unless you ask for it, there is no map offered. The planes overhead make it noisy and they run until late at night and restart at 4am.
During our 2 month journey across 4 countries including 2 in North Africa we consistently received warmer welcomes and better service from the front-facing staff than we did at this hotel.
This is their weak spot.

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 working properly so that was a bummer. Overall, a reliable and enjoyable hotel experience - would recommend and stay again if doing a stopover.

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.
02.05.2025
The hotel is very good, just a dozen minutes walk from the museum!
Hygiene: Very good!
Environment: Comfortable!
In the central city, there are dedicated parking spaces, which is very convenient for travel!
The price-performance ratio of the room is also very high, and the breakfast is also very good!
02.02.2025
The review is just so so and the pool is quite small. Location is great , easy to walk to the museum, central bus station and the old town area. Don't expect it as a 5 star hotel, then everything will be ok.
03.12.2024
The great service we experienced started as soon as we arrived with help getting luggage out and valet parking of hire car. This was very welcoming after having driven from Chania Airport to a strange place. When we checked in they had upgraded us which was a very pleasant surprise. We had already booked a harbour view room but room we got was bigger than expected still having that view. The only downside was the airport. It's almost directly underneath the flight path with planes taking off throughout day and night. The breakfasts are wonderful with a wide selection of fresh foods. Big thank yo
u to the lady who cooked our omelette every morning. Delicious. In fact a big thank you to all the staff from the maids who make the beds to the waiters and front desk workers. They are all a great team and made our stay memorable.
