Family-friendly Hotels in Heraklion Prefecture

Overall, I was very pleased with my choice of hotel. My room overlooked the main square (which was undergoing renovation) and, being on a corner on a high floor, gave good views of both the city and the sea. The decor of my room was a little jaded and well-worn, but it was otherwise clean and comfortable; and it was very enjoyable to sit on the balcony watching and listening to the world below. Breakfast was very pleasant with plenty of choice, especially the local savoury and sweet options. I stayed for 6 nights and found the staff friendly and helpful throughout my time there. The hotel is very conveniently located being close to a number of sights and numerous eateries, all within easy walking distance. The bus stop for Knossos is almost outside the front door, for the airport a few metres away across the road, and there is a mini-mart next door.

We have just spent a week in this well run hotel. We picked it based on great location and previous reviews. We received a lovely welcome and just about the right details to take in on arriving. Parking was explained and we only had to pay one out of seven nights at the city parking. The rooms are well appointed with great WiFi, lovely beds and the best showers I’ve come across in a hotel in ages. We given a very good list of local recommendations of places to eat. All easy walking distance. We had the best night sleep and yes you can see the planes but they stop at night and your on island you can hardly miss them completely. You can also see the harbour which is lovely to watch. The breakfast team are very friendly and can’t do enough for you getting me gluten free bread and espresso coffees. The selection of food on the buffet is excellent and the best Greek honey ! The hotel has a lovely bar again great staff. I did use the gym most mornings sadly no free weights but I still managed a good workout. We used the roof top pool and lay out a couple of times and enjoyed bar food delivered to us on the roof. Really good snack menu. We mostly drove to the beach but the pool is nice if you can’t and good sunbeds in the sun and towels provided for the pool. We are well travelled and chose this hotel based on previous travellers reviews and it was perfect for exploring this lovely city. Highly recommend as a great base . Thank you

This is a veritable hotel in Europe,  very cost-effective hotel.  Not only has a historical sense, but also the room area is large, the items are well equipped, the quality is good, the service is warm and thoughtful, the breakfast is rich, and the quality of the ingredients is high.

Very nice establishment, very nice staff, good breakfast, nice stay. Room with balcony and sea view, at the top!

Very good location, close to the port, long distance and short-distance bus station. Walk for a few minutes. It is also close to the busiest square, full of restaurants and cafes. No need to choose a sea view room, the window is small, a little sea view. The front desk service is very good, the commercial atmosphere of Crete is not strong, people are very friendly!

The breakfast is very average, it should be bought at the supermarket. There are triple rooms with double beds and small beds. The entrance is small, not easy to find. No parking lot, very close to the old town and pedestrian street

It is only one block away from the shopping and pedestrian street, only a 5-minute walk from the beach, and only 4 kilometers from the airport. The suite is great, with a balcony. The hotel is clean and tidy. The original check-in at 2 pm was very intimate and informed that you can check in at 10 am. If you still go to Crete, you will definitely choose this hotel. The only thing missing is that there is no gym.
