Hotel in zona Man with daisy flower (Street Art), Heraklion Prefecture

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!

La stanza è molto buona, la posizione è anche molto perfetta, vicino alla stazione di autobus e taxi, il grande supermercato accanto e il bombardamento** fantastico!Si consiglia fortemente di venire in Iraq per tenere questa casa, così come vino rosso gratuito e prodotti di cottura auto-prodotti. L'unico mancato bagno è senza colazione, ma non mangiare troppo vicino!

Hotel located in an excellent position, next to the bus stops for both the airport and Karteros Beach. In the immediate vicinity of the Venetian walls, the port (with the fortress), bars, restaurants and streets with small shops etc. I really want to say thank you to the reception staff in particular to the guy who helped us plan the excursions for the whole island (the excursions they have not excessive prices and in the tours you have enough time to wander independently in the various places) ask for the catalog at the reception. Sometimes you will heard noise from the street, but it depends on people outside, and some … hotel guests.

Nel centro di Heraklion, affacciato su due belle piazze pedonali, un albergo moderno, con stanze ampie e comode, buona colazione, personale gentile ed efficiente, Ideale per visitare la città e le sue attrazioni ( Cnosso, museo archeologico).

Ottimo hotel. ricevimento professionale e affascinante. Bella camera molto ben attrezzata. Hotel di una pulizia impeccabile. Molto bella piscina, buffet del colazione molto ricco e molto piacevole al bordo della piscina. Personale con piccole cure

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

L'hotel è a circa 15 minuti a piedi dall'aeroporto. Facile da trovare. Il personale era molto utile e bello. La stanza era pulita e organizzata. Il bagno non era così bello, è un bagno senza cortina, quindi il pavimento si bagna molto quando si fa la doccia.

Eccellente hotel ! Camera e bagno spaziosi e ben arredati . Ottima pulizia sia della camera sia delle parti esterne comuni . Colazione ottima servita a la carte al bar attaccato all’hotel . Non è presente reception h24 ma per gli arrivi serali vengono inviati codici di accesso via wa quindi comodissimo . Vicinissimo sia all aeroporto (10 min!) sia al sito di Cnosso (5 min!)

Hotel veramente molto bello! Dotato di ogni confort. Bellissimi gli spazi esterni, con due piscine. Colazione fornita maggiormente di salato ma Comunque buona. Avevamo la suite che è di fronte alla struttura principale, ottima per privacy e silenziosa, anche se piccolina. Bello lo spazio esterno privato attrezzato. A pochi metri trovate la spiaggia e tutti i servizi ( ristoranti bar market) È presente un parcheggio anche se molte volte è pieno e c’è la possibilità di fare massaggi. Personale cordiale e attento. Peccato essere rimasti solo una notte. Consigliato!

This was my first time at the amazing Stella Island, and I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations! I had heard so many great things about this place, but nothing could have prepared me for how stunning it truly is. The photos really don’t do it justice—this hotel is something you need to experience firsthand. And the way it transforms from day to night? Simply magical! From the moment we arrived, I felt like I had stepped into paradise. We were warmly greeted by Aris and Nikos, who took such good care of us throughout our stay. Aris has a heart of gold, and it was such a pleasure getting to know him better during our little trips around the hotel. The entire team was incredibly helpful, always there to assist us with our moves and daily routines. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and care! The reception team was equally wonderful, always smiling and so welcoming. Every interaction with them was lovely—efficient, friendly, and always ready to help. It’s a great feeling when you’re remembered and treated like family. We stayed in a room with a Premium Pool View near the Makuti side, and it was perfect! Spacious, spotless, and with the most comfortable beds. Makuti was our go-to spot for sunbathing, and the team there made every day special. Rania and her team were a joy to be around—her attention to detail is unmatched, and I loved catching up with her. George, with his calming presence, and Yannis made sure we were never without one of their amazing cocktails. And let’s not forget Yanni, who was always around, making sure everything was perfect. The drinks and food there were excellent! The food overall was exceptional—definitely a highlight of the trip! Lunch at the buffet was great, and the fish lunch at Vegera was top-notch. But La Parilla stole the show for both lunch and dinner. The meals were incredible, and the service was just as amazing. Johanna’s team is truly the best. Eleni, George, and Emerlito made every meal special, with their warm energy and flawless service. Kostis, the bartender, kept the good vibes going with his stories and perfect cocktails. Our evenings at Paraiso were a blast, too! Antonis and Sofia made the best cocktails—Sofia’s margaritas are to die for, and Antonis’ Margaritas are next level! Maria, Katerina, and Xaris were also a delight—super attentive and always ready with a smile. The entertainment was top-tier, the shows blew me away this year. Breakfast was another daily highlight, with a tough decision to make every morning between the buffet and La Parilla. Special shoutout to the lovely lady at the buffet and Lenti at La Parilla for starting our mornings off with great service and friendly faces. A massive thank you to Anastacia and Marina for taking such good care of us. And of course, a huge thanks to George and Christos for making us feel like part of the Stella Island family. This was, without a doubt, one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. The hotel itself is breathtaking, but it’s
