we stood at this hotel only for one night. it is in the centre close to port and main square in heraklio. But we had a room straight on the road and since no ac is available we had to leave window open which made all the street sounds seem as if they were happening inside, even very late at night.

We would recommend this hotel only for a short stay in Iraklio due to spaciousness of rooms and hotel surroundings. Also, the directions from the port to hotel were not clear and it took us 1 hour to find the hotel. On the contrary, the hotel receptionist was very helpful and friendly.

An excellent budget hotel, near to city centre and 4 Lions Square. Clean with friendly staff. No hot water at sink, but hot shower very good. Room clean and ready. Ate out so no comment on breakfast. 400m from bus stop, but not easy to spot first time as hotel not on Handakos street so asking directions did not help, although it was clearly visible as we walked down Handakos street. Street names easy to read, most also in english.

Rooms and forniture don't look nice but its clean and close to all attractions. We asked for a double bed but they gave us 1 and half size one. It was too small for 2 people and the same was for sheets and blankets. Its is a bit expensive too for the kind of hotel it is.
