I arrived by car in Heraklion and immediatly had the best impression of the hotel: gentle staff, great location, a small and friendly hotel. The best for us! Then I met Manolis Kalaitzakis, the manager, who keeps everything running perfetly. The hotel is nice, the best location, good clean and clear rooms, very good breakfast (don´t ever miss the greek... more

Close to several good restaurants & transport. Request a port view room on the 5th floor. more

The Marin Dream is a contemporary hotel near the Heraklion port and bus station. It was comfortable enough with nice furniture and amenities, but the rooms were small and cramped. The hotel has a free breakfast that was OK. There is also a free computer to use but it shut down a few times because of a reoccurring power surge.... more

I found the Marin Dream through my travel agent; the hotel had a comparatively good price for rooms in February (around $85/night) and the website made it look really elegant. While I didn't get one of the luxurious sea-view presidential suites, I was pretty much completely satisfied with my stay. On the plus side: My room was great. Two large... more

I booked the room directly w/ the hotel, very prompt and courteous. I thought breakfast was fine. Location is awesome, esp. if you arrive at the port from another island, you can see the hotel from the port, and walk 8 mins or so to reach it. Right next to bus terminal for travel. I would definitely use this hotel... more

The Marin Dream is conveniently located for central Heraklion, the bus station and the port. The rooms were in good condition, clean and comfortable, without being anything exciting. There was an internet connection in the room, which was an advantage (cables available from reception; no wi-fi). The staff were friendly and generally helpful. There was also an internet connection, television... more
