My partner and I stayed for 2 nights on our return from Chania as we were flying at an unusual time from Heraklion back to the UK.
The hotel was clean and tidy and while the rooms were basic and a little dated they were perfectly suited to what we needed for a couple of nights stay.
The room had one single bed as well as a double, a small balcony and bathroom. The bathroom was adequate, everything worked, if a little tired in terms of the finish. The avocado colour scheme was very 70's!
The guys on reception were very friendly and happy to help with any questions we had. The location is pretty good as well what with the port, bus station and main bars and restaurants all within a 10 minute walk.
The only down side is that there is currently a multi storey car park being built opposite but then again with the black out blinds and patio door both being shut there is very little noise intrusion.

All in all this is not a bad hotel and for the price it's pretty good to use as a stop off point.
I'd not recommend it as somewhere to stay for a week but then again if you wanted better you'll have to pay for it.

We booked a few hours before arriving. Very attentive recpetion. Bathroom floor was wet. air con, ddin't work. They offered to change the room but we didn't bother as it was too late and we were tired. Following day I had some work to do. Internet connection fine but at 3euro/hour. However the construction site next door was extremely noisy. Without asking the hotel offered not to charge for breakfast for the inconvenience. Overall good value for money and very close to travel agency and laundry which we needed to do. Old town attractions are all very close. Note that Lonely Planet's guide map show the hotel one street further north.

I disagree with previous reviews here saying that the hotel is "a dingy dive masquerading as a luxury hotel" or that its "shining lobby promised luxury" or even that it was the kind of hotel you'd "splurge" in. From the get go you can tell it's a two star hotel with basic but clean accommodation - under no circumstances did we think we were entering a Shangri-La or a Four Seasons! But saying that, it's no "dingy dive" either and you couldn't accuse it of trying to be something it's not.

Throughout the hotel's public areas and rooms, furnishings are simple and maybe a bit worn yes, but it is a clean hotel and we didn't have any problem staying there for one night before we took our ferry to Santorini the next morning.

The rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable enough for one night. Ours had a double bed and single bed, a balcony and small bathroom. This is the first hotel we stayed in in Greece where the hotel had a shower curtain however the curtain didn't touch the floor so it leaked anyway - defeating the purpose of having a shower curtain in the first place!

Location wise it's very handy. Only a few minutes walk to the bus station, to the port and to the main street where you'll find the restaurants, kebabs, bars and shops.

We hadn't reserved a room, we were just "walk-ins" off the street and paid €50 for the room without breakfast which we thought was reasonable for Greece in saturated, touristy-mid August.

So if you're just passing through Heraklion to catch the bus to other parts of Crete or the ferry to other islands (as we were) and need a clean, no frills place to lay your head for the night I'd have no problem recommending this hotel. If you require more bells and whistles, try the Megaron down by the port but expect to pay at least triple the price.

Rooms are good, breakfast was good, bathroom was good, view wasn't too bad either, construction work across the road didn't effect at all. Helpful & friendly staff.
