  A good city centre hotel with parking

  21 Jun 2025

  We don’t usually stay at this hotel when we visit Heraklion, but we chose The Iraklion because it has a dedicated parking area next to the hotel. Visitors to Heraklion will know that parking in the centre of town can be a real pain.We were impressed by the hotel. Our room looked out towards the sea over the tops of buildings in the town. Our stay was comfortable, the breakfast was plentiful and the service was friendly. We’d go back there again

  Nice Simple Hotel

  20 Jun 2024

  I liked simplicity of my room, everything was pretty straightforward. My room had a terrace with street view, bed was pretty good and air condition was working fine. So yeah, if you are looking for well maintained hotel with reasonable price and location in the city center I guess this is a place for you. Breakfast I had was good and hotel staff was really polite.

  Cozy place in the middle between points of interest

  The hotel is strategically located within walls of old city between the beach of Ammoudara and the main attractions, not so far from them.Hotel is re-innovated 7 floor building. Rooms are not large, but but enough for the convenient accommodation.The room has the safe, TV, several chairs, table and the wardrobe, electric kettle, air conditioner. There is quite large balcony with two beach chairs and the small table and alsodrying hanger for the clothes. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of dust in the air from street, so everything gets dusty very quickly.The room has electric sockets next to the beds and two other sockets, one of them with USB port.The personnel speaks English and very friendly and helpful.The avenue Kalokerinou named after the discoverer of the Knossos Palace is quite busy road so it is nicer to live on higher floors.There is a restaurant serving good continental breakfast. There is omelette, ham, cheese, Greek yogurt, flakes, fruits, on the menu.Just 70 meters from the hotel there is Bazaar and in 200 m is Chalkiadakis supermarket, Lidl in 800 m outside of the city walls. All closed on Sundays.The avenue Kalokerinou has several street food places, and if you walk 400 m to Morosini Lions Fountain you can find even more restaurants there.Heraklion has a problem with great beaches, but in 500 m from the hotel there is a Dermatos Bay, where is a wild beach where one can deep into the sea.The proper beach is in Ammoudara in 2.2 km from the hotel. There is another beach in 1 km in front of Talos Plaza shopping mall, but it is rocky and no sunbeds or lifeguard.Another place to swim is the port mole starting from the Kules fortress in 1.2 km.The mole protects from high waves when it is windy and other places are not suitable for swimming.

  Clean and Comfortable

  26 Feb 2020

  The building is located a 5 minute walk from the city centre, all the rooms i had been to were very clean and all the appliances (TV, phone, hairdryer) were functional. The wifi had a good signal but was slow and unresponsive sometimes. The staff were very polite and welcoming.

  Comfortable and good value.

  15 Jan 2020

  This is a really nice hotel, very spacious room with a sofa and good working desk. WIFI was very fast. We could see the sea from the balcony. I even liked the art work on the walls. Sunny breakfast room. The welcome was warm and help and advice cheerfully offered.The hotel entrance is just off a shopping street but within walking distance of the more historic areas, very quiet at night. Worth noting that the bus to the airport is just a few steps away. The Iraklion was a real bargain too, thoroughly recommended.
