4-Star Hotels in Crete, Greece

The hotel is next to the castle, 4 kilometers from the airport. I landed at 11:30 PM and walked to the hotel in an hour. It was easy to find, walking along the coast, and I felt safe. The room was very clean, and breakfast was plentiful. In the morning, I went for a city run along the breakwater by the pier and caught a beautiful sunrise. Many cruise ships dock here. The hotel is also very close to the old commercial center downtown, easily reachable on foot. I had a 16-hour layover in Heraklion on my flight from Tirana, Albania to Athens, and it left a good impression. I heard there's a Chinese restaurant on the island, but I didn't have time to check it out.

It exceeded my expectations! After getting off the bus from the airport to the city center, the hotel was just a few minutes' walk away. Everything was within walking distance, and the bus stop for Knossos Palace was nearby, making it incredibly convenient. The staff were kind and even upgraded my room, allowing me to comfortably enjoy a clean and spacious room. The hotel had a great atmosphere, making for a relaxing stay. Daily cleaning was impeccable, and there was complimentary bottled water in the refrigerator and a tea set provided. While the breakfast selection wasn't extensive, it included Cretan specialties and was of excellent quality. I was very satisfied. I would definitely like to stay at this hotel again the next time I visit Heraklion.

Nice location and clean

Our stay at Selected Suite was simply perfect! The location is amazing, and the room itself is unbelievable, everything brand new, with stunning design and incredible comfort. The space is large, with a beautiful terrace, a huge shower, and modern detail, the steam room was a big bonus after a long day.  Honestly, the decoration is so impressive I could happily live here. Everything was spotless every single day, it’s honestly one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. I felt so comfortable that I never wanted to leave. The team even prepared a wonderful birthday surprise for my partner, which made our stay extra special. Parking was very easy, the reception is available at all times and always helpful, and the cleaning ladies are just fantastic, smiling, kind, and doing an excellent job. A very special thank you to Ayu, who was absolutely adorable and made our stay unforgettable with her kindness and warmth. I recommend this place 100%! I cannot wait to come back. Honestly, I couldn’t find a single thing to improve everything was truly perfect.

Absolutely stunning place in a perfect location just a short stroll along the sea front to the historic old town of Chania and the Venetian Harbour. In the other direction an even shorter stroll to the harbour and Nea Chora beach - which has a ton of bars shops and restaurants. Property is directly on the seafront in a real tranquil location - with a beautiful pool and incredible sea views everywhere you stood. The staff were fantastic and even contacted me on WhatsApp prior to my stay to arrange my check in. Had my room ready early - which was fabulous. I was incredibly lucky to have a suite with a hot tub right on the sea front - beautifully decorated, fresh, clean and the views from the balcony were incredible. I believe breakfast is included for all guests, which was lovely with a wide variety of hot and cold food drinks and pastries. The only criticism is of myself that I didn’t stay longer. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Very family friendly, enough room for 4 in our executive room with diabilities. Clean bathrooms, beautiful breezy balcony with a great view. Air conditioning is efficient and cools fast. Enough sleeping space for our family of 4. Room service is fantastic and rooftop pool is nice (has lifeguard). Breakfast has lots of variety with great tasting food and the cafe downstairs serves great gelato. What could be better: Just wish the pool was more shaded and stairs into the pool had a different color to avoid swimmers kicking into it by accident. The is no water cooler machine anywhere, which would save so many trips to buy bottled water...

Really enjoyed my stay at Porta suits. I have Booked it last minute in front of the airport at my arrival haha! Special thanks to the receptionist, what a friendly woman! Had lots of conversations and she was the best. The room was superb!! Really stylish, modern and warm. The jacuzzi top notch👌🏻. The bed is super comfortable and wow what a big kitchen with washingmachine, dishwasher and oven. Everything you need is here. The city center Minas cathedral spot is very near, less than 10 minute walk.if you don’t like walking, you can also take a bus. The bus stop is nearby and only costs 1,20 euros. It takes you to the big busstation at the port or you go out earlier.  Again, perfect stay! Will definitely come back with my family! Thank you again for the great service!

The apartment was a 15-minute walk from the main city centre, the Old Venetian Harbour, the mosque, the lighthouse, cafes, and restaurants. It was also a 7–10-minute walk from Chania Central Bus Station. The rooms were a good size, and the bed mattresses were comfortable. The open-plan kitchen and living room were spacious and well-equipped. What I really liked about the apartment was the washing machine, microwave, and clothes drying rack on the balcony. Anna was very kind and helpful. She assisted us during check-in and whenever we had any other issues. We also had a nice chat about tours. The only things missing were toothbrushes and slippers. The apartment was cleaned every three days. Overall, it was a clean and comfortable apartment.

Très belle expérience, l’accueil a été parfait, les chambres se trouvent à 2-3min de la réception j’ai été accompagné jusqu’à ma chambre. Le Monsieur de l’accueil a même proposé de porter ma valise la chambre n’est pas de toute jeunesse mais elle est très grande et joliment décoré. La salle de bain est un peu humide mais très bien équipé, il y’a même un bidet. La chambre à la climatisation qui fonctionne au top et un déshumidificateur d’air. Les prises sont en suffisance et à des endroits stratégiques. Les frigos ne refroidit pas bien mais c’est un détails. Le petit déjeuner est correct et avec des produit locaux et les serveuses sont vraiment gentilles et serviable. Le plus c’est très clairement l’accueil et le personnel les gens sont absolument adorable, à l’écoute, on m’a recommandé les restaurant alentour à privilégier et ceux à éviter et l’emplacement est top la rue est calme mais à proximité de tout!

The room was large and had a small courtyard. Walking around the corner, you'll find the pedestrian street, making it easy to walk to the museum or to the old pier to watch the sunset. Parking is difficult as it's in a small alley on the pedestrian street, so if you're driving, make sure to reserve a parking space with the hotel in advance.
