We stayed here one night after taking a bus from Chania and waiting for our ferry to Santorini. It was a good enough place to spend one night (one night is enough in Heraklion). Walkable distance to/from the port and bus station. It has very small rooms, but they were clean and comfortable. Plug-in internet that worked very well. The... more

We arrived on a typical charter flight from the UK landing late at night so chose to stay the night in Heraklion before picking up our hire car to head on to West Crete the next morning. The rooms looked lovely on their internet site and the prices were quite reasonable but I must be honest I thought it highly... more

My wife and I stayed one night in Iraklio prior to an early morning ferry. Got a deal by pre-booking online. Our main use for the Kastro was as a bed for the night. Relatively central location. Street no less ugly than all the rest in Iraklio. One afternoon turns out to be enough to see everything the town has... more

Hi there! We stayed here for only (thankfully) one night in October 2008 during a 2.5 week fantastic trip to Greece. Unfortunately, this hotel was our least favorite of all. Although from the outside it appears to be a nice, high rise hotel, and the lobby was large, our room was disappointing. It was very basic (similar to a low-budget... more

Heralklion is not a particularly pretty city, but it's a good base from which to see Minoan sites, and I stayed here two nights for that reason. The hotel does offer a 24-hour manned lobby. The breakfast area and food are OK. The room is fairly big and a mini fridge is provided. The location is good - it's close... more

We stayed here for one night before departing for Chania the next morning. We arrived very late, and went straight up to our room. The air con was first rate (it was still boiling hot outside) and the room was spacious and clean. We had a view of the side street and could see the sea in the distance. The... more

We stayed at the Kastro for one night after arriving in Crete during May 2008. Though the hotel's regular rates were quite expensive, we booked through the hotel's website, which qualified us for a huge (45%) discount. Without the discount, I would have said that the Kastro was not a good value; with the discount, I'd say that it was... more

A bit more expensive than we normally pay (3 rather than 2 stars), but you do get a nicer place for the money. Very nice room, good location. Could have a better breakfast though. Incidentally, a friend of ours was staying at Lato "boutique" Hotel and we were not impressed with his room (more expensive than ours, tiny, and with... more

ok to start off with I really got a cheap rate for this hotel when I booked via email w/o asking for the discount, as this was part of an almost 2 month holiday & just 1 night of many nights at diff hotels didn't really have think too much about why the discount was given and basically as I... more
