"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!"

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.

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.”

Away at HomeIdyllic city setting

“Our room had a small balcony with gorgeous views of the Cathedral of Agios Minas set on a busy city square lined with restaurant terrasses and loaded with happy families, the children having the time of their lives playing football, hide-n-seek and riding scooters throughout the day and evening.”
