“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.”
