"The breakfast was absolutely surreal! It was made by the next door coffee, you could eat it outside, and it was made at the moment (not buffet style) which definetly made it better!"

“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.”
