Top Koules Fortress Hotel Reviews

Ibis Styles Heraklion Central

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful."

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons été particulièrement impressionnés par la propreté impeccable de l’hôtel et le confort de la chambre. Tout était soigné, agréable et de grande qualité. L’emplacement est également excellent pour découvrir Héraklion à pied et très pratique pour rejoindre le port et prendre le traversier. Le personnel était accueillant et attentionné, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Une très belle expérience et certainement un hôtel que nous recommandons!"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautiful and in a great location to the port, old town etc. Also had free parking which was a nice bonus. We spent a lot of time in the pool which was much needed respite from the heat. Only items to improve here was a bit of a disconnect between the day reception staff and the night reception staff re: our request for late checkout. Night staff said yes, then the next day, the day staff said no - so it made us scramble last minute to pack everything up. Otherwise - a great stay and would recommend!"

Mirabello Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good without being spectacular. this is literally a 3 star hotel and does the job for a short stay or a convenient location stay. Located about 2 blocks from the main street it has good access to most things around there to walk to. The room was very compact, balcony would be luck to be 1m wide. The aircon was great, the water pressure was good, Vanity is so tiny and has a shelf placed directly above it, making it difficult to shave or clean your teeth. the shower is small but expected in Italy Hotels. Staff at reception were helpful on the few occaisions i interated with them. There was only a hand held shower head, and no wall mount which makes it difficult to enjoy a proper shower. Bed was quite firm and was only made up with a bottom sheet, the top sheet had to be put on yourself if you wanted it. Knowing what to expect, it was cheap and serviced my needs so would probably use again if I stayed in Heraklion again."

Marin Hotel

8/10 Good

"We only stayed one night as we had a ferry to catch nearby . It was clean , friendly staff - we didn’t get chance to try the breakfast as we had to leave early in morning"

Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good for a 1 night stay if you need easy access to the airport. Recommend ear plugs as planes are very loud throughout the night"

Infinity City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel within walking distance of the port for our short stop over in Heraklion . Staff very helpful and allowed us to have early breakfast before our ferry ."

Olive Green Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Lato Annex Boutique Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel very near the port 10 minutes we arrived after midnight and the man at reception went above and beyond and is a credit to the hotel free breakfast was also great"
