I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were extremely clean and comfy, with fluffy duvets and pillows that are not always easy to find in Greece. Although the size was a bit small with the double bed against one wall, I had a lovely, clean, modern, and beautiful room. The location was nice, and it was in a quiet area. However, I found the room to be quite small as the only downside.

The service was top-notch! The staff was very kind and provided useful information about buses to get to the airport and Knossos. They were friendly and helpful, offering maps and info on getting to Knossos and arranging airport and port taxis as needed. The only minor inconvenience was the slight delay in table cleaning and juice preparation due to the short staff, but overall, they were both friendly and helpful.

The location was excellent! It was very close to the main part of town, Lion square, restaurants, the beach, and the port, making it convenient to explore all the sights on foot. Additionally, it was walking distance to the bus station and in the center of Heraklion, ensuring easy access to all the main tourist spots. Breakfast was a feast, providing a great start to the day.

The dining experience was good overall. While there weren't many choices and some products seemed industrial, the food was over-average for Greece and tasted very good. Although it was not the best quality, it was standard and okay. I did enjoy the fresh-baked scones.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while nice and clean overall, had a bit of a smell to them. They were on the smaller side but functional. Unfortunately, my room was located near ongoing balcony renovations, which impacted the view and attracted pigeons.

The hotel's location was both a positive and a negative. It looked cool, and though I only had a quick look around, it seemed ideal for exploring Crete with convenient access to the city center and harbor. However, being in the city center made it noisy and difficult to get a good night's sleep.
