Hotel in zona Museo Storico di Creta, Heraklion

Sono stato in questo hotel per tre notti, e sono state tre notti favolose. La stanza era pulita, ben ordinata, il letto comodo, la notte è tutto molto silenzioso, l'aria condizionata di ottima qualità. Poche note dolenti, tra cui la cassaforte a pagamento (cinque euro) e il televisore con l'audio auto-limitato. Colazione eccezionale, se si eccettua il caffè espresso che è veramente scarso.

El Greco è un mio punto di riferimento a Heraklion ed è migliorato negli anni anche se conserva lo stile anni '80. Però è pulito, ha tv, wi-fi, AC, minifridge, tende semioscuranti e infissi insonorizzanti. Il bagno è piccolo ma nuovo e funzionale. Ha il deposito bagagli. Ed è in pieno centro!

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel tra fine luglio e inizio agosto avendo prenotato circa tra febbraio e marzo. Per la prima volta ho trovato un hotel di cui sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto. si trova a circa 10 minuti dall’aeroporto di Heraklion, a 5 minuti a piedi dal centro, dal mercato e da tutti i vari negozi e supermercati. La pulizia delle camere è ben eseguita, il personale competente, gentile e sempre disponibile. Nota di merito ai pasti, semplicemente ben eseguiti e presentati; Gli orari sono flessibili, con possibilità di pranzo/cena dalle 13.00 alle 22.00 per permette di gestire al meglio la propria giornata. Colazione altrettanto sfiziosa a buffet. La colazione viene servita dalle 7.30 alle 10.30 )se non erro) a piano terra, mentre pranzo e cena sono effettuati nella terrazza al 4^ piano dell’hotel con una vista molto bella sul porto e la fortezza veneziana. Nel complesso rimasto veramente colpito e faccio i miei complimenti a tutto lo staff. Matteo.

I had a pleasant 7 night stay here at this accommodation while in Heraklion, Crete. It belongs to the Lato Boutique, which is the main hotel. The Annex is right opposite and required card access to enter. Room was the Economy room (15 sq. metres), a little on the small side, but good enough for a solo traveller. The room was right next to the stairwell and the lift, so there were times I could hear people moving about, but at night it was very quiet, and there were no sleep disruptions. Bed was comfy, air-conditioning was also good. The shower was also good, with shampoo and soap provided, though I noticed it was running a little low towards the end of my stay (i.e., no refills were done). I also appreciated that a luggage rack was provided, along with two bottles of water on check-in day. Fridge was big enough to fit lots of mineral water bottles to keep them cold, which would be a great reprieve in the summer time. Room safe was incredibly huge as well, it can easily store laptops securely, if needed. The elevator door got stuck on the day of check-out, but still worked, so not too big of an issue there. Wi-Fi requires a special code that you can get from the reception. My first code strangely stopped working after two days, but was promptly rectified after I informed the reception of the issue. There were no other connectivity issues for me. The hotel location is pretty near to the Venetian Port, and the Rocca Fortress; it is also walking distance away from the main shopping street in Heraklion and lots of good eating places nearby. There are also supermarkets nearby to get water as well. It does get quiet at night, but I did not encounter any incidents that made me feel unsafe. My room came with buffet breakfast included, which is served in the main building. Breakfast starts service from 7 am onwards, and was generally quite crowded at the start. Depending on the crowd level, the staff will occasionally open up a new section of the dining area. Breakfast was generally good, there was a good spread of American breakfast items, to pastries, ham and cheese and even Greek yogurt with a lot of condiments. It varied a little bit from day-to-day, but was generally the same for the most part.

Abbiamo soggiornato una settimana in questo hotel a due passi dal centro, raggiungendo facilmente fermata dei bus per visitare l'intera città. Personale cordiale ed efficiente, il tempo della colazione è la nostra stanza era già pulita e sistemata. Grazie mille a tutti e in particolare alla Sig.ra Ivina e Geovgia per la loro professionalità.

Ottima posizione, vicino al porto ed al centro città con la sua via pedonale ricca di negozi e taverne, tutto a breve distanza e percorribile tranquillamente a piedi. Abbiamo avuto una bella camera con vista mare. All'ultimo piano c'è la sala colazione con vetrate sul mare e fortezza. Tutto molto pulito ed arredamento nuovo. Ottima e variegata colazione. Il parcheggio lo abbiamo trovato a neanche 5 minuti dall'hotel, al porto ad un prezzo molto conveniente di 3 euro al giorno (se si entra dopo le 10 di sera non si paga).

Le camere sono così così, il balcone è generalmente ad un piano basso e non ha privacy, e la piscina non è aperta in inverno. Solo la colazione è ottima, varia, il ristorante è pulito e ordinato, e il prezzo è quello, giusto? Il servizio è da migliorare ed il rapporto qualità prezzo non è elevato

WE' LL COME TEAR! Fantastico gioia & piacere abbiamo avuto a Aquila Hotel al nostro soggiorno lì a Heraklion, è stata la nostra prima volta.

A dirty, dingy, dull, noisy hotel that should be a 2 star rating and not a 4 star! I had a 3 night stay at this hotel following a weeks stay in a lovely hotel in Rethymno. My friends checked in to the Castello City hotel later that evening for 3 nights too. We found the hotel to be the most depressing place to stay. The hotel is not what it describes itself and the photos do not match up or come close to what they show on Trip Advisor. Our rooms no 201 and 202 were very small, dark and gloomy as there was no natural daylight coming into the rooms and the glass doors that should have led out to an airy balcony (with no room for a table) was facing brick walls. It was difficult to see what the sky looked like unless you wound your neck around. The walls and curtains were dark in colour and lighting was so poor in the rooms that you couldn't see yourself in the mirrors. The noise outside of the rooms was unbearable at night and early mornings. The carpets were filthy and worn in the corridors. The breakfast was poor and the welcome from the hotel receptionist was very poor. When l first arrived at the hotel and waited for my friends to arrive, l walked a short distance from the hotel only to find the streets dirty with skips of rubbish strewn everywhere. It was chaotic with speeding traffic and a lot of undesirable people hanging around and l found myself scared. Had the hotel advised me of where to go and what areas I should avoid, that would certainly have helped! When l spoke with the receptionist about the rooms, he just didn't care! He said there was nothing he could do as they were fully booked. We most definitely would have moved hotels if we were staying for longer. Once you find your way around Heraklion, you will enjoy the city centre filled with nice restaurants and shops especially in the evening. The port is worth a visit and there a few nice beaches on a short bus ride away. Looking at other reviews on Trip Advisor, I note that the hotel does not respond to them which gives me the opinion that they simply don't care. I have attached photos

Simply amazing decor to match the great history of Crete, particularly the Minoan civilization; clean spaces; and excellent communication for late arrival to the hotel. Perfectly located within walking distance to the Archaeological Museum, yummy seafood restaurants, the bus and taxi stations, if one wants to visit the birthplace of Zeus/cave or the famous monastery. The manager, his son, and Mary were very friendly and welcoming. It was wonderful to hear Mary’s historical knowledge of ancient Pharaonic and Hellas civilizations-- the bosom friends of the ancient Khmer civilization. Cheers!
