Modern Room Options

The 24 individually furnished rooms at Metropole Urban Hotel feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and laptop-friendly workspaces. Options include Economy Double Rooms, Deluxe Rooms with city views, and a 409.0 ft² Suite with panoramic views. Family Rooms connect two spaces with double beds and balconies, while Superior Rooms cater to two guests with modern amenities.

A shared lounge provides a relaxed setting for guests at Metropole Urban Hotel in Heraklio Town. The surrounding area offers cafes, taverns, and restaurants within walking distance. St Catherine Square hosts the Museum of Christian Art, formerly a mosque during Ottoman rule.

Local Attractions Abound

Heraklion's 2-kilometer Limenavrachion pedestrian-bike path starts near the medieval Koules Fortress, located at the end of August 25th Street. The Archaeological Museum displays Minoan antiquities spanning 5500 years, while Knossos Palace once housed over 100000 inhabitants. Families can visit CretAquarium or try escape rooms nearby.

Multilingual Support Available

Multilingual staff at Metropole Urban Hotel provide around-the-clock service in Greek, English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. Safety measures include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and a first aid kit. The property complies with National Public Health Organization recommendations for guest wellbeing.

“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its prime location in Heraklion, placing guests steps away from the city's cultural heart. The modern rooms, some featuring relaxing balconies and jetted tubs, offer a comfortable urban retreat. Though breakfast receives mixed feedback, the hotel's central position and responsive service ultimately deliver a solid value.”
