Legacy Gastro Suites

Very friendly staff and good location

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.

Very close to Heraklion museum and local buses to Knossos, so perfect for us.

The breakfast was great, the room was lovely, spacious and fully accessible. Lots of great food and drink options in the mini bar and they offered discounts at local restaurants too.

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.

The location couldn’t be better: just a short walk to the Heraklion Museum and local buses to Knossos, with a taxi station right across the street and the central bus station within walking distance, making it ideal for exploring the area.

Breakfast was a real highlight, offering fresh food, fruit, yoghurt, and eggs cooked to your preference. On two early excursion days, the team kindly prepared generous lunch bags to keep us fuelled while out and about.

Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and fully accessible, complete with a balcony that offered stunning views over the city and harbour.

We were genuinely sad to leave and are already looking forward to our next visit. I highly recommend Legacy Gastro Suites to anyone planning a trip to Heraklion. A big thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!

We travel the world and always book at 5 star locations. What exceeded the 5 stars at this hotel was the SERVICE. The entire staff wore smiles during our stay and aimed to please. Special honors to Chara and Makes who really stood out and made sure we were well cared for. The location was perfect and accessible to everything we desired to see. The breakfast had every group covered. We were in an upgraded room which was also perfect!

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

Nice hotel in the very center of Herakleio.
It may tick the boxes for a five star hotel, but it doesn't feel like one. Room had a great view, was clean & tidy but was a bit strangely decorated, with a tiny WC and the glass covered shower + sink right next to the comfy bed, which came as a surprise. Reception of the hotel was super small (unlikely for 5* hotels). Table serviced breakfast (no buffet) had fair options but also felt somehow strange, as bacon & sausages with the egg came cold - probably cooked much earlier, pancake was burnt and there was no espresso or instant coffee available as the barista was not there and the waiter could not make a coffee (it was about 8am).

The room is not very big but it is warmly decorated and feels like home. The breakfast is also very delicious.

I booked a sea view room, but I could only see the sea in the distance.
The room utensils are very ordinary, the bath towels are not soft, and water will leak out when taking a shower
Breakfast was OK

Stayed there 3 nights. Great location - next to the old town; there is a taxi stand and a paid parking lot next to the hotel. Good service: the two gentlemen at front desk were very helpful.
