Heraklion hotels near Historical Museum of Crete

Pros: Lovely rooms, very clean, we were on 5th floor right by the roof terrace which was nice place to sit. Also great breakfast.

Cons: It was a bit hard to find it by car, but once we did parking was was very close and not too expensive for middle of town.

Pros: Very friendly staff, close to main areas of town for shopping and eating, nice rooms, nice roof terrace overlooking the Aegean

Pros: The location was marvellous for walking to the important attractions. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. Our room was huge, with a double basin bathroom and a delightful shady terrace. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean (and I am fussy).

Cons: The outside street was very narrow - I wouldn’t try driving there. When the wind blows in a particular direction the jets fly overhead - however, that must affect all of the old city. I didn’t notice the planes late at night or early in the morning.

Pros: Well located for ferry port and it was easy to find somewhere to eat nearby. Clean. Fast check in and check out and WiFi worked.

Cons: The property’s location meant it was noisy and very hard to sleep - it is directly below a flight path so there is the noise of planes until midnight and starting at 630am on the dot. When we stayed there were also dogs barking relentlessly for a 20 min period from just before 5am and we were woken by noise in the street at 3am too. (I am not a light sleeper...) the first room we were given (55) had a horrible smell and was on an outside terrace which was really noisy from music nearby. They moved us to 43 which had no smell but not a great start and we were still kept up with noise although we had requested a quiet room at booking. Not hotel’s fault but I would be aware... all we wanted was a good nights sleep, especially as I am five months pregnant and we had a long drive the next day, so it was not a good stay for us. Breakfast was not of best quality but was standard and ok. Whole place is a bit tired. Lastly, they didn’t ask us on check out how our stay was which was telling (bad restaurants and hotels never seem to ask, maybe because they don’t want to know...) so didn’t seem the hotel were bothered about feedback or customer experience

Pros: Hotel was lovely close to all we wanted to see and only 5 minutes away from the port where we had to take the ferry to Santorini. Very modern and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom facilities was excellent.

Cons: Just the small elevator

Pros: Nice room and bathroom. Comfortable bed, pillows and sheets. Good breakfast. Good location and helpful staff. Instagram: @monalifestyles

Pros: The hotel was obviously loved by its management and it showed, it was immaculately clean and the rooms really made use of limited space

Pros: Good location, parking close, beautiful rooftop terrace, the room was very nice. I recommend the hotel.

Very comfortable. Really good location in Heraklion - short walk to the centre and port etc. Unobtrusive background staff.

Pros: Everything!

Cons: From checking in to checking out it was perfect,we had arrived early but there was no problem Very nice breakfast We were looked after when we used the pool ,we had a great relaxing time .

Pros: A lovely hotel close to the centre of town and a short drive to the airport. The facilities were fantastic and the room was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing and having drinks beside the pool. Hotel staff were very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed.

Pros: I traveled with a group of 30. We were all pleased with our 3 day stay. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. the staff went out of their way to make sure we were pleased. The location was close to everything. The pool and the pool bar were beautiful.

Pros: Location and breakfast good. Walking distance to centre of city and hop on hop off bus stop outside hotel entrance

Cons: Upon arrival transport was booked however no transport hence arranged self. Suggest hotel advise Taxi available at the port

Pros: Modern and comfortable with all the amenities located in a nice residential area

Cons: For some maybe a bit far from the center; 30 min walking or a short taxi ride

Pros: Awesome stay, friendly staff, clean and upscale

Pros: Decent room size We’ve traveled with a 2 year old boy and we received a baby cot Excelent breakfast

Pros: Buffet for dinner and breakfast was great, staff very kind.

Cons: Because the hotel parking site was full, a staff member parked our car the evening we arrived. The next morning it turned out that he had parked it in front of the hotel loading dock and the car had been damaged by someone trying to get past. It showed a big dent and scratches exactly on the spot (rear right) where a trolly would pass from the road to the sidewalk. A mere passer-by on the sidewalk could not have caused such damage. Yet the hotel refused to take any responsibility. We spent several very unpleasant hours talking to managers through the phone and ended up paying for the damages ourselves. We were only lucky that the friendly car rental service (Kydon) showed some understanding and did not charge the full amount. One would expect more from a hotel in this class.

Pros: Great location, very central and a short walk to restaurants and shops. The restaurant opposite was great, friendly staff and good local food. Breakfast was great with a selection of continental (toast, cereal, fruit and yoghurt) plus cooked items (bacon, egg, tomato and mushrooms). Friendly staff, check in and out very easy.

Cons: No complaints, we would recommend this to people staying in Heraklion.

Pros: Pros: quick check-in process, great breakfast, clean room. Cons: very uncomfortable mattresses, basic accommodations, small bathroom. We arrived to the hotel around 21:00 after flying in from Athens. The check-in process was very fast; they had our key waiting on us when we arrived, so we were upstairs in our room within five minutes. The hotel offered a fresh, delicious breakfast each morning -- it was included in the price of our room -- which we took advantage of for three of the four mornings we were there. The staff were friendly and helped us with a few questions/requests throughout our stay. Overall, this was a clean hotel that is great for a budget traveler, but if you're looking for a nice hotel with a few more amenities, I'd look elsewhere.

Cons: The downside of this hotel is its simplicity. The rooms -- while clean and tidy -- are very, very basic. We weren't expecting a lot given the price and the amenities outlined on this website, but it was more basic than we were expecting. The mattresses were incredibly uncomfortable and made noise every time we rolled over, waking us up throughout the night. We stayed for four nights and not once did we sleep uninterrupted through the night. The room also didn't have an ironing board. There was an ironing board made available in a room on the sixth floor, but it was inconvenient to have to venture to the sixth floor each day to iron our clothes.

Pros: Good location, good staff, good breakfast.

Cons: Uncomfortable bed, old rooms, little bathroom.

Pros: Excellent breakfast selection. Close to the centre of town

Pros: Wide spread of breakfast. Rooms are decent.

Cons: Breakfast could be earlier. Hot water not available for boiling in room.

Pros: Staff, food, cleanliness and overall efficiency.

Cons: No tea/coffee making facilities in bedroom

Pros: Great little hotel within the city centre and within walking distance to the local attractions including the Archeological Musem (10mins walk) and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. Free off-street parking or a discounted rate at a parking station less than 3mins walk.

Pros: Location and hotel restaurant

Cons: Bed was not comfortable...sagging mattress Inappropriate male nude picture on the wall???

Pros: Walk to city center or the water in less than five minutes. Walked with luggage from the port to the hotel in 15 mins. Great central location. Staff was very helpful. 12 euro cab ride to airport. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Rooms were comfy. Good water pressure.

Cons: That we had to leave.

Cons: Excellent in every way

Pros: Hotel was convenient, a few blocks uphill to center--or 1 block downhill to the sea--and a short walk along to the venetian fortress and one short block to a grocery store. The front desk was friendly, room was a decent size with fridge, good shower. Bed was too hard for me--but that's my preference alone. We didn't have one of the super-duper rooms with views of the sea--just a standard room. Buffet breakfast was good and we didn't go hungry. No complaints. I thought about renting a car to go out to Knossos and parking close to hotel--but forgot that idea as soon as I saw just how tight parking was on the street--so we took the bus to Knossos which was easy enough. That said--there is a paid public parking close by and the hotel does give you a voucher to lower the cost.

Pros: Front desk staff were friendly and helpful answering questions about parking, luggage storage, and surrounding area. For breakfast they provided everything anyone could want and plenty of space inside and outside.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location. Lovely balcony for each room. Friendly staff.

Cons: Breakfast was somewhat limited and exactly the same for each day. Wish there were coffee and tea making facilities available during the day. Rooms are quite small.

Pros: Great location. Stayed for 1 night. Family of 4 so it was great value. Lovely breakfast and all staff very helpful. We would use this hotel again.

Pros: Everything was fine.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Only 15mins taxi to airport. Hotel was clean and comfortable, Short walk from some nice restaurants. 10min walk to the bus station for onward travel to Rethymno, Chania, Knossos etc Staff were friendly and helpful

Nice view from the restaurant on the upper floor, good breakfast. We were able to have the breakfast ahead of official opening to catch our ferry in time - thanks! Stayed one night only

Cons: Parking was a bit of a problem but we finally manged, otherwise nothing to complain.
