My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, although the view was slightly obstructed by a tree outside. The service was top-notch, with every staff member going above and beyond to make my stay special. The location was perfect for exploring the historic sites of Heraklion, and the dining experience exceeded my expectations. However, the noise from airplanes passing overhead was a minor drawback.

The hotel offers clean and elegant rooms that are comfortable but might feel a bit small for a five-star rating. The great central location is perfect for exploring Herakleion and Crete, although the view from the rooms might lack natural light. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and professional staff ready to assist with various needs. The dining experience impresses with top-quality options that cater even to vegetarians, and the facilities add to a satisfying stay.

The hotel rooms were full of antique furniture with an enormous bed featuring crisp cotton sheets, spacious and comfy, although the lack of ample daylight through a narrow balcony door with heavy curtains initially seemed a bit gloomy. The service provided was exceptionally wonderful from planning to our stay, with knowledgeable and welcoming staff, although there was a slight annoyance encountered. I found the location perfect for exploring historical sites and being close to lively streets with bars and restaurants. The dining experience was superb, standing out among multiple locations we visited in Crete.
