The staff were very friendly and helpful; we stayed there while the 48 hour strike was on. The reception guy actually phoned Knossos Palace to see if it was open for us; he also told us the private buses were running, otherwise we would have been stuck in Heraklion with nothing to do.The publicity photos created a completely false impression;...

Έχω μείνει στο "Κάστρο" 3-4 φορές, τις περισσότερες πριν την ανακαίνιση. Έτσι την τελευταία φορά που το επισκέφτηκα με τον άντρα μου περίμενα να δω τις αλλαγές που έβλεπα και στις φωτογραφίες. Δυστυχώς απογοητεύτηκα λιγάκι. Μας έβαλαν πάλι σε δωμάτιο με 3 κρεβάτια (ποιος ο λόγος?), το διπλό κρεβάτι ήταν κολλημένο στον πλάγιο τοίχο ο οποίος είχε φθαρεί λόγω υγρασίας... More

I stayed at the Kastro Hotel for one night in September, together with my husband and I would definitely like to stay there again. The hotel may not be the most beautiful one in terms of interior design (let's remember it is not a luxurious 5-star resort), but I personally found it pretty, comfortable and clean. It was also very... More

not the kind of hotel I would go back to, this hotel is pretty average in general. the staff is quiet, do not like to get involved with guests beside the basis stuff. I am not sure I can recommend it. the room was clean so can't complain about that. More

We stayed at the Kastro Hotel for one night after arriving in Crete. The hotel has been recently remodeled and we had great service. The room and bathroom were moderately sized. The breakfast buffet was great. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the main square and fortress, and is located on a quiet street. A great value and... More

We originally booked this hotel with some trepidation (about staying in Heraklion), but based on positive comment about Kastro Hotel. The comment was spot-on! Great staff, great hotel, great location, great value. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends. About Heraklion, the negative comments were completely off-base. We would definitely visit Heraklion again - and stay at the... More

This hotel is what id call mutton dressed as lamb. Its in a quiet location but close enough to the port to grab a taxi there. The finish on the hotel fittings is excellent but stuff just didnt work. There is also an annoying automated door bell by your bed that allows you set do not disturb etc but it... More

Kastro hotel was nothing amazing, but met all our needs for a short stay in Crete. Hotel was clean, although there was a strange odour in the corridors. Bathroom was new and shower was great. Breakfast was small, however had a reasonable selection of fruit, breads, cold meats and eggs (although were often yesterday's left over hard boiled eggs). Well... More

I'm glad I chose this little hotel. It's very close to the main sights in Heraklion (port, pedestrianised centre, market ....). It's in a maze of narrow streets - so no major traffic noise. It's decorated and furnished in a modern style, to a high standard, and is very clean. I asked for, and got, a very quiet room. If... More

We arrived late enough to get the super nice penthouse room for the cost of an average room. It was super nice- we even got a real double bed! There was a mild sewage smell even on the top floor- pretty hard to understand why. Breakfast was nice albeit a bit heavy and not a lot of light options. no... More
