    outdated room
    bad breakfast

    The outdated room was a shockingly unpleasant surprise, with an unthinkable lack of privacy. I also expected a complimentary upgrade for enduring such crap, but clearly, that was wishful thinking. Breakfast was another disaster with instant coffee and juice that tasted like chemicals. I almost could've given a good review, but i just couldn't. Unacceptable!

    noisy environment
    basic decor

    Noise from other guests and aircraft affects sleep quality!!! Basic room decor feels outdated and uninspired!!! Shower design in smaller rooms lacks functionality, leading to water spillage!!! Limited pool hours restrict enjoyment!!!

    Although the hotel is very close to a busy airport, excellent double glazing means that it is still quiet in the rooms. Parking is a big problem in Heraklion but this hotel benefits from its own free car park which...

    I needed an hotel near the airport.

    The location is not well reachable. The staff is not much supporting: i.e. they did not gave us even a map of the city when we asked information.
