Capsis Astoria Heraklion Hotel

I had an overnight stay at this hotel, to catch my morning flight at 7+ am. To my surprise, they have continental breakfast ready as early as 4.30 am! So i could have my breakfast before heading to airport. This is very impressive!

Very quick check in. Surprised to get free upgrade to a suite. The king bed was a bit hard for my tast but they brought a mattress pad that offset this. Excellent breakfast. Everyone very helpful. One told us about a free parking lot down the steep hill (stairs up) to hotel (drop bags first!). Didn’t have a chance to use the rooftop pool. Just around the corner from Arch Museum (fabulous) a must see before going to Knosos. Bus to Knosos just out of hotel door E1.70 each. Fabulous restaurants of lanes a short 5 min stroll into the old town from Hotel. About 15 min walk to fortress. Good stay for 2 nights. Good value.

Nice city center hotel, very convenient for the port, staff were helpful, nice eco-conscious attitude & breakfast was a good selection. Room was well thought out with plenty of space for opening cases etc. Stayed in the junior suite which was great as the beds are in separate areas, so we could stay up after our daughter was in bed without waking her!

Great location and the staff are awesome. The hotel was build in the 50's and shows it's age. That said it is clean and well maintained. The location is simply the BEST, it is right next door to the archeslogical museum, and ther bus for Knosos stops 20m away. The KTEL (bus station) is a downhill 15 min walk

The hotel is right in the city center but that is the only good thing about it. The reception lady was very rude and did not help us. The room condition was bad with mold and cracks. Very bad experience and not worth the money
