My stay at Hotel Rea was great! The hotel is located right in the heart of Heraklion - we walked everywhere we wanted to go, it was so convenient. The rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff made our stay extra special - Rea is family-run and everyone was so helpful and friendly! They took time to suggest... more

I'm not sure how may better deals there are in Iraklio. The Pension Rea was Ok. I was a female traveling alone and felt safe there. It was important to close the shutters on the windows and lock them, as the second floor has a shared balcony. It also keeps the light from shining inside. I didnt find it any... more

We travelled to Crete to commence our 3 week vacation in Greece and were very excited about meeting the people and spending time in Crete at the begining of our vacation. We had planned this vacation for a long time. We booked this hotel on line, after reviewing the pics, etc. of the hotel. The hotel pics are not indicitive... more

Clean. Great hospitality. Location right downtown and close to the water, restaurants, cafes and shopping within steps. I liked Rea because they treated me like family and when I returned the next year they remembered me! The place is family owned by a nice Greek family who go out of their way for their customers. Had a nice breakfast and... more

Best deal in town. Have stayed here several times while traveling throughout Greece. The location is perfect. In the heart of the city and walking distance to the main port where the ferries come in. Close to everything. Also found Hotel Rea to have the best prices in town, very clean, and the girls working at the reception very helpful... more

Absolutely Appalling. Avoid. Dirty, mean, smelly and VERY NOISY! Situated at a popular motorbike junction you'll be kept awake by the revving of pop-pop two stoke engines right next to your window and the headlights sweeping through the room. Don't bother metioning this to the surly belligerent management, they already know, they already don't care. Trust me, take yourself elsewhere.... more

We decided to stay at this hotel after finding it in the budget section of the lonely planet. As long as you aren't expecting something flash or fancy, I thought it was a good budget hotel for backpackers. Breakfast was offered until 12.00 but we were enjoying sleeping in so we didn't try it out. The airport is very close... more

STAY AWAY!!!! I have stayed in tons of hotels ranging from hostels to 5 stars hotels in almost every continent in the world. THIS IS THE WORST OF THE WORST HOTEL EVER! I would literally rather sleep on the street! there are ants everywhere, even crawling on my face while at night! and stains on the pillows as well. I... more

Not many good budget choices that we could find, and stayed here for one night. This has to be a basic as they come - I felt like I was in a 1940's movie. That would be the time this place last saw new furniture or upgrading of any kind. It was clean enough. The location was good - although... more
