Hotels Near Statue of Erotokritos in Heraklion

We were equipped with all the information for our arrival before arrival. At our arrival the reception was occupied and we were very friendly. Our room was not quite ready because we arrived a little earlier than planned. We were offered a drink for the waiting time and there was a nice seating opportunity. Our room was very nice and for one night more than enough. There was a delicious hand-made greeting snack, a beautiful bottle of wine and other snacks. Water and a small coffee machine were included. Unfortunately we went up to the port very early morning. However, we have enjoyed our short stay here very much. If we want to spend a few nights again in Heraklion, this will certainly be a point of contact for us.

The Aquila Atlantis Hotel has been synonymous with the development of the city for 50 years attracting celebrities and people from all walks of life. The hotel was redeveloped in 2013, and has a calming decor and colour palette, providing a relaxing bar/lounge area in the lobby, fantastic views over the city from its rooftop pool, spacious and modern rooms, and professional, friendly staff.

Very bad check-in, the room is small, the food is unpalatable The booked suite, whether it is a suite or not, at least the area is not 32~36 square meters as shown on the booking page. There is no TV in the bed. The sofa is old and has a dirty feeling. Note The flowers are bought by yourself, so you can improve your mood. The hotel prevents you from refunding and changing hotels. In short, this hotel will not live anymore. In terms of five stars, it has a false name. It is more expensive than the NJV plaza hotel in Syntagma Square in Athens. The 28 square meters room looks much more spacious than the 32 square meters. The food in the hotel restaurant is very average, the breakfast is too poor, the restaurant on the 5th floor is also unpalatable, the creamy pasta is so unpalatable, and it is salty I booked a car rental for 300 euros through the front desk. I arranged a super broken car and asked to pay in advance. I was speechless when I saw the car. In short, this hotel is not worth staying at. Nor is it the level of a five-star hotel.

Very good location, close to the port, long distance and short-distance bus station. Walk for a few minutes. It is also close to the busiest square, full of restaurants and cafes. No need to choose a sea view room, the window is small, a little sea view. The front desk service is very good, the commercial atmosphere of Crete is not strong, people are very friendly!

We stayed at the hotel for five nights in July 2022. There were eight of us in total so two families. The location is absolutely perfect as it is right in the middle of Heraklion, opposite the bustling square with its wonderful with its Artisan stalls which are worth visiting and only a short walk to the shops and wonderful selection of restaurants. Heraklion is a truly bustling and Cosmopolitan city. The Hotel is very close to Heraklion Archaeological Museum and a bus or taxi ride to the beach. It is also not too far from the port you can walk there but we took a very quick taxi due to the heat. Upon arrival we were made to feel very welcome and our baggage was taken to our room for us. The reception area is refreshing to walk into from the heat outside and the decor is lovely and very modern with a comfortable seating area. There is a downstairs bar which is very chic with beautiful artwork where you can eat and you can just walk through to the shops outside to have a mooch with is perfect. Our check in process was very smooth and efficient. Check out is at 12 and check in is at 2. We had travelled from Chania by taxi. and were a little early. The gentleman on reception was able to find our group a room to check into while they got our other rooms ready which was very helpful and we did not have to wait too long. We had the economy rooms two different types between us. The ones which have balconies and the ones which are inside but don't have a balcony. The latter were a bit bigger than the ones with the balcony and the children's bed has its own little area which we really liked. The bathroom and room were very clean and the cleaners were very helpful and polite. We had a small fridge all the usual amenities you would expect and the air conditioning always worked well. I really feel (being from the UK) that the hotel represents very good value for the price we paid - if we were to pay a similar price in England we would not be staying in nearly such a nice hotel that's for sure. Certainly not one with a pool on the roof! We absolutely loved the roof area. The pool is quite small (but still big enough to have a lovely, cool swim). The pool area is clean and there are sunbeds and chairs you can sit on around the pool and plenty of place to sunbathe. It is absolutely lovely the perfect place to relax and take in the view. They also have a lifeguard up there at all times which we were not expecting. The pool is open until 8 at night but you can still go up to the roof for drinks and to eat your dinner after this time. They also provide towels for you which is great. The bar on the roof is absolutely excellent and the service is impeccable. The bar staff and waiters and waitresses work so hard and are so friendly (whilst also remaining professional). The bar food is great especially the mini burgers and the club sandwiches are to die for. You can also have dinner up on the roof and there are lots of lovely tables and chairs to chose fro
