We stayed for two nights during Greek Easter. The staff was very helpful and helped us find a restaurant (a lot of places were closed for the holidays!). The hotel is really close to the bus station and the port, making it easy to get around.

We selected this hotel because of its proximity to the ferry and the bus for Knossos. Unfortunately they did not have a room that could accommodate our family of 5 so we had to obtain two rooms but were graciously given two side-by-side rooms at the end of the hallway. The rooms were clean but in need of renovation. One... More

We stayed here for five nights in early July 2012. We found the staff to be very friendly and hospitable. We adored Nico, a very friendly chap who was at the reception during the evenings. He always offered to make us a drink at the bar, or put on the TV - very sweet! The hotel itself doesn't have too... More

This hotel suited most of our basic needs. The location is ok, at a walking distance from the centre, but definitely a bit on the outside. Wi-fi worked great in the lobby but did not work on the 4th floor where our room was located. Some computers are free of charge to use in the lobby as well. The room... More

Althought staff was very helpfull and polite, and the lobby was renovated, the room was very-very small and not in good condition. Too hot (was on the top floor), with noisy air-condition and we found the beds rather unconfortable for a relaxinf sleep. Breakfast was very basic. wi-fi was working but in low speed.

This hotel is a great place to spend a night between connections or when visiting the Palace of Knossos. The lobby and common areas were charming, and the staff was really very helpful. The rooms were not terribly charming but they were clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

We chose this hotel because it was close to the ferry port for our AM ferry to Santorini. After the 10 minute or so uphill hike, we were greeted by a friendly lady at reception. She quickly booked us in to our room and then called to find out where we could pick up our ferry tickets. Our room was... More

This hotel was excellent value and provided free wifi. It was a 10 minute walk into the old town and the museum. The cake shop 2 streets up was to die for for breakfast but meals at night are best eaten in town as not much around. All rooms had just been renovated. Situated just up the hill from the... More
