“I found that a stay here hinges on securing a room with a view, which elevates the experience considerably. While the location is convenient for exploring Heraklion's attractions, including the Archaeological Museum and Knossos, potential guests should note that parking can be challenging. Although the breakfast is adequate, it's the renovated rooms that catch the eye, even though some guests have experienced cleaning issues that should be improved.”
