Top Palace of Knossos Hotel Reviews

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was beautiful and the room spacious and very clean. But both bathrobes were missing the belts and the room service was very slow. We ordered a drink to deliver to the room and it took 1,5 hours until we got it."

Mirabello Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean and helpful staff"

Artion City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, friendly staff and management. Unfortunately had an issue with my ferry and missed a night of my stay but management was very helpful in trying to accommodate me. My only issue is that then hot water sometimes ran out in the shower and tap but the staff told me they were currently working on this issue which is reassuring. Great central location right near the centre of Heraklion"

Metropole Urban Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property was good and breakfast at the restaurant in the morning was plentiful as well (leave a lot of time for it). Area was quiet and nice. The thing that was annoying, however, was tha light in the washroom was turning on at night when you tried using it, waking up both yourself and your family members."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

8/10 Good

"A nice location just out of the old town. A quick and friendly check in with a small upgrade to a harbour view ,which was very much appreciated. Standard size room with an excellent shower but a terrible mattress that gave me terrible back ache , not something I suffer with normally. It was all a little “sterile” tbh, staff who were polite but not particularly friendly. We didn’t ear at the hotel but did enjoy a wine in the bar each night , being served by a scruffy and a little grumpy barman. We would not choose to stay again as it’s clearly aimed more of a business hotel ."

Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice Hotel and friendly staff."

Marble Luxury Suites

10/10 Excellent

Ibis Styles Heraklion Central
