Hotel in zona Oploemporiki, Heraklion

The hotel is below average and obviously sells because of its central location in Heraklion. This is its only advantage. Otherwise : A lot of noise from early morning (big banging, etc.) - to the point where you can't rest. Small and uncomfortable rooms. (They don't even have hangers in the bathroom for towels!) The rooms show strong signs of abandonment. They need renovation. Very modest breakfast, with only the very basics. Everything served is without taste! Only low quality filter coffee is served - without taste. If one wants to get a decent coffee, they must order it from the cafe bar at the entrance and is charged. There is a scale for weighting luggage at the reception. Requires a fee of 1 Euro !!! The staff, although very polite, are not happy or cheerful with clients. To ξενοδοχείο είναι κάτω του μετρίου και προφανώς πουλάει λόγω της θέσης του που είναι σε κεντρικό σημείο του Ηρακλείου. Αυτό αποτελεί το μόνο του πλεονέκτημα. Κατα τα άλλα : Πολύ θόρυβος από τα ξημερώματα (κρούση μεγάλων κτλ) - σε σημείο να μη μπορεί να ξεκουραστεί κανείς. Μικρά και άβολα δωμάτια. (Δεν έχουν ούτε κρεμάστρες στο μπάνιο για τις πετσέτες !) Τα δωμάτια δείχνουν έντονα σημάδια εγκατάλειψης. Χρειάζονται ανακαίνιση. Πολύ λιτό πρωινό, με τα πολύ βασικά μόνο. Πολύ άνοστα όλα ! Καφές μόνο φίλτρου και χωρίς γεύση. Αν θέλει κανείς να πάρει έναν αξιοπρεπή καφέ, τον παραγγέλνει από το cafe bar της εισοδου και χρεώνεται. Υπάρχει χρέωση 1 Ευρώ για να ζυγίσει κάποιος τη βαλίτσα του !!! Το προσωπικό, αν και πολύ ευγενικό, δεν είναι καθόλου πρόσχαρο.

We stayed at the hotel for five nights in July 2022. There were eight of us in total so two families. The location is absolutely perfect as it is right in the middle of Heraklion, opposite the bustling square with its wonderful with its Artisan stalls which are worth visiting and only a short walk to the shops and wonderful selection of restaurants. Heraklion is a truly bustling and Cosmopolitan city. The Hotel is very close to Heraklion Archaeological Museum and a bus or taxi ride to the beach. It is also not too far from the port you can walk there but we took a very quick taxi due to the heat. Upon arrival we were made to feel very welcome and our baggage was taken to our room for us. The reception area is refreshing to walk into from the heat outside and the decor is lovely and very modern with a comfortable seating area. There is a downstairs bar which is very chic with beautiful artwork where you can eat and you can just walk through to the shops outside to have a mooch with is perfect. Our check in process was very smooth and efficient. Check out is at 12 and check in is at 2. We had travelled from Chania by taxi. and were a little early. The gentleman on reception was able to find our group a room to check into while they got our other rooms ready which was very helpful and we did not have to wait too long. We had the economy rooms two different types between us. The ones which have balconies and the ones which are inside but don't have a balcony. The latter were a bit bigger than the ones with the balcony and the children's bed has its own little area which we really liked. The bathroom and room were very clean and the cleaners were very helpful and polite. We had a small fridge all the usual amenities you would expect and the air conditioning always worked well. I really feel (being from the UK) that the hotel represents very good value for the price we paid - if we were to pay a similar price in England we would not be staying in nearly such a nice hotel that's for sure. Certainly not one with a pool on the roof! We absolutely loved the roof area. The pool is quite small (but still big enough to have a lovely, cool swim). The pool area is clean and there are sunbeds and chairs you can sit on around the pool and plenty of place to sunbathe. It is absolutely lovely the perfect place to relax and take in the view. They also have a lifeguard up there at all times which we were not expecting. The pool is open until 8 at night but you can still go up to the roof for drinks and to eat your dinner after this time. They also provide towels for you which is great. The bar on the roof is absolutely excellent and the service is impeccable. The bar staff and waiters and waitresses work so hard and are so friendly (whilst also remaining professional). The bar food is great especially the mini burgers and the club sandwiches are to die for. You can also have dinner up on the roof and there are lots of lovely tables and chairs to chose fro

Superb, contemporary suites & amazing hospitality! From the moment we arrived the welcome & detailed information provided by Mary, on the front desk, was amazing! We were only staying one night & were welcomed with homemade lemonade then a homemade liqueur made with red wine & geranium flowers. Nothing was too much trouble. Mary gave us restaurant recommendations, a map & answered any queries. The rooms are stunning: a luxury, contemporary renovation of the highest standard. It’s worth upgrading to a suite as we originally booked the lead-in room which was internal.

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!

Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di rimanere per 2 notti in questo nuovo hotel. Le camere sono confortevoli, moderne e pratiche. Mi piaceva soprattutto la grande passeggiata nel doccia. Dal primo minuto ti fa sentire molto benvenuto dal personale dell'hotel. Hanno anche organizzato colazione a partire dal giorno della nostra partenza, perché dovevamo andare alle 6:00. Il ristorante vicino a lui è quello che prepara il colazione e lo consigliamo anche per cena, hanno delizioso cibo e l'atmosfera della piazza accanto è alzata

Fabulous hotel, everything you need for a stay is in the room. Very clean, it’s a very modern hotel super smart. It was also very easy to reach from the main highway . There is street parking…area felt very safe…but also a 3 minute walk there is parking..multi story …8 euros per 24 hours Katerina who runs the suites was very professional and very lovely. 10 min walk to the high street, 5 mins from restaurants and coffee shops. Close to the museum.

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.

Vicinissimo all’aeroporto ed al palazzo di knosso. Abbiamo soggiornato solo per la notte dell’arrivo in aeroporto. Camera molto spaziosa, pulita e ben divisa tra zona adulti e bimbi. La colazione viene servita al ristorante convenzionato che si trova sotto l’hotel dove abbiamo avuto modi di assaggiare le loro omelette, che sono davvero enormi, vedi foto.

Scelta molto carina per Heraklion. L'hotel non è in centro, non è nemmeno vicino alle spiagge ma, nonostante ciò, è situato nei pressi di una fermata bus a pochissimi passi. Con gli autobus (o con l'auto se si noleggia) si può raggiungere tanto il centro, quanto le spiagge in 5 minuti. Hotel moderno, camere nuove, pulite e confortevoli: un posto molto carino e con lo staff cortese: i dipendenti sono molto simpatici e gentili, si fanno in quattro per aiutarti o consigliarti cosa fare o come muoverti. Amenities presenti in camera. Colazione buona, la si può fare nel bar dell'hotel.

the hotel is old. some areas (such as the pool and territory) have been repaired and are in good condition. but there are disadvantages typical for old buildings - such as the lack of sockets in the bedside area. semi-working TV, with non-working remote control. the minibar is also in this condition - whether it works or not. the bathroom is clean but very old. cleaning and towel change - from time to time or as you remind. Wi-Fi in the rooms is very weak and volatile. near the reception is better. the hotel is located near the crossroad, from the beach area it is separated by a highway. from good features - breakfast is delicious. the large selection of beaches - wild and commercial, in ten minutes. several cafes and mini-markets are nearby, but in general there are no interesting restaurants in the village, you have to go to the city. by the way, there is the city bus to Heraklion (about every half hour), it is cheaper to buy tickets in advance at city kiosks. to the city center - 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. on the way there is also an airport on the way to Heraklion.
