A bit more expensive than we normally pay (3 rather than 2 stars), but you do get a nicer place for the money. Very nice room, good location. Could have a better breakfast though. Incidentally, a friend of ours was staying at Lato "boutique" Hotel and we were not impressed with his room (more expensive than ours, tiny, and with... more

I booked this hotel directly from the hotel website (receiving a nice discount). The manager confirmed my reservation promptly by e-mail. The hotel is located in a relatively closed-in area of narrow streets in the city (despite the photo, don't expect a sea view). It is convenient to the airport, Knossos and the ferry port. The lobby area was bright... more

Irini and the others at the front desk are very helpful, the location is great (near the port, not far from Knossus and the airport and... more

Our stay at the Kastro Hotel was unexpected, but wonderful and restful. The management is most accomodating and helpful. After experiencing showers with little or no pressure, we felt like we were royalty with an amazing shower head and pressure! The hotel is situated within a block from Avgoustou (one main street) in Heraklion. The continental breakfast was great with... more
