Top Palace of Knossos Hotel Reviews

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here overnight before our flight back to LA and it was perfect. It’s a gorgeous and chic historical hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating and gave us a nice complimentary upgrade for our anniversary (so sweet!). The housekeeping woman was also so nice and left us some local treats and Raki. The room was huge and the bed was also really comfortable (I am very picky with beds, especially in Europe). The large bathroom was by far the nicest of all of the hotels we stayed throughout our time in Greece with Korres bath products which was a very classy touch. Amazing rain shower and water pressure. Make sure not to leave Greece without picking up some Korres! The rooftop is perfect for sunset drinks. We didn’t have time for the pool, but if we were there for longer we definitely would have taken advantage. It’s on the smaller side but perfect for a quick dip. It is also very well located in a safe area and walking distance to so many shops and restaurants while also being a quick drive to the airport for an early departure. We had a nice time walking along the marina and checking out all of the boats and grabbing a fresh seafood dinner on the water. We were trying to locate a specific type of unique souvenir we had been looking for but couldn’t find throughout our trip, and the front desk receptionist was very helpful in helping us find it a short walk away! Will come back for longer next time, thanks GDM!"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

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."
