3 Stars Hotels in Crete, Greece

Stayed in suite with sea view. The view was amazing. The room was lovely, bed super comfy. There was a nice vanity table to get ready at. Bathroom was big and clean. The service at reception were very helpful. The location was great right in old town but not too noisy - music from restaurant in evening but I liked it and church bells on Sunday. I really enjoyed my stay here and was very happy with the suite. Couple of things to point out: there was no furniture on the balconies and aside from a pouf, no furniture in room to move outside. So meant nothing to sit on to enjoy balcony and it’s view. Also the curtain was only half curtain so to block out light need to shut the shutters which then restricts air. I didn’t mind but if you want darkness to sleep might need to bring eye mask. Like I said only minor things. Overall great place. Hot water - i mention as I know this is important to people :)

A basic but adequate hotel very convenient if you need somewhere near the airport. Reception was friendly and efficient. The room was on the small side but perfectly OK for what we wanted. Despite being near the airport it was fairly quiet and we slept well. Despite arriving at almost 11:00pm we were able to get a basic bite to eat, in our case an omelet which was perfect for our needs. Shower was fine. Breakfast buffet was a bit basic, but fair value for €7. The hotel has parking, which is useful. We never tried the pool. It looked a little on the small side. Not a ‘Destination’ hotel, but if I ever had a late flight in or early flight out I would happily use again.

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!

The hotel is strategically located within walls of old city between the beach of Ammoudara and the main attractions, not so far from them. Hotel is re-innovated 7 floor building. Rooms are not large, but but enough for the convenient accommodation. The room has the safe, TV, several chairs, table and the wardrobe, electric kettle, air conditioner. There is quite large balcony with two beach chairs and the small table and also drying hanger for the clothes. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of dust in the air from street, so everything gets dusty very quickly. The room has electric sockets next to the beds and two other sockets, one of them with USB port. The personnel speaks English and very friendly and helpful. The avenue Kalokerinou named after the discoverer of the Knossos Palace is quite busy road so it is nicer to live on higher floors. There is a restaurant serving good continental breakfast. There is omelette, ham, cheese, Greek yogurt, flakes, fruits, on the menu. Just 70 meters from the hotel there is Bazaar and in 200 m is Chalkiadakis supermarket, Lidl in 800 m outside of the city walls. All closed on Sundays. The avenue Kalokerinou has several street food places, and if you walk 400 m to Morosini Lions Fountain you can find even more restaurants there. Heraklion has a problem with great beaches, but in 500 m from the hotel there is a Dermatos Bay, where is a wild beach where one can deep into the sea. The proper beach is in Ammoudara in 2.2 km from the hotel. There is another beach in 1 km in front of Talos Plaza shopping mall, but it is rocky and no sunbeds or lifeguard. Another place to swim is the port mole starting from the Kules fortress in 1.2 km. The mole protects from high waves when it is windy and other places are not suitable for swimming.

Solo traveler. April/may. 2/3 nights. 2nd floor. 1 pers room. 2 personal bed. A TV with a lot of broadcasts. The opportunity to put a cup of tea for yourself and write to the desk some cards to your family and friends or to go to a nice small but nice balcony and enjoy. Steady mattresses fine kitchens. Extra covers in the box if necessary. Spacious box to lose all your stuff. The safe and refrigerator are present. Long mirrors to be able to admire yourself before you go out of the door. Dark curtains. Nice bathroom, fine shower, shampoo and soap. Rooms are kept clean by the hard-working people of the cleaning. Breakfast is extensive and delicious. Personnel at the reception friendly and helpful. Kitchen staff and service also very friendly and helpful. The pool is present. But it wasn't filled since it was April. Fitness room present only not made time to use it. There's also the possibility to wash your clothes. Rethimno center/old town at walking distance. Many shops and food facilities in the surrounding area. I recommend a stay in this hotel.

The hotel is in an excellent location to explore Iraklion. There is a good restaurant, called Xayiati, directly opposite serving delicious Greek food and there is a wide choice of restaurants in the city centre a short walk away. The rooms were modern, spacious and comfortable with plenty of electric sockets and a kettle to make hot drinks. The breakfast was very good. There was lots of choice. The food was set out to allow social distancing and gloves and hand sanitiser were provided. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There was a car park a few metres away which the hotel has a special arrangement with so that guests pay a discounted rate.

i came here with my boyfriend for a week in june and had such an amazing time. the rooms and facilities were clean, all the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. the breakfast was really nice and the bar service to the pool was a great bonus. My boyfriend and I are only 18 and 19 and were probably the youngest couple there, but we did not feel out of place and there was still plenty to do in the town of chania. the harbour is incredibly lively and exciting- we spent most our nights here. we also saved some money due to free shuttle to and from the hotel which ran up until 12pm - we only needed to pay for a taxi once when we had one late night. would totally recommend this hotel. the restaurant was also delicious on the night and the views/ sunset were incredible. thank you so much royal sun for making out first holiday together so special!!

We stayed here on our first time visit to Crete and it did not disappoint! The hotel is in the heart of the Old Town and a few feet from a plethora of restaurants and shops! The hotel is situated in front of the harbor that is buzzing with people and activities. Our room had an amazing sea view! We could not get enough of the gorgeous view! Our room was well-sized and pretty. The hotel staff were very attentive and accommodating. The included breakfast was generous and included traditional Cretan fare with fruits, pastries, eggs, assorted breads, etc., Neo Chora beach is walking distance from the hotel. We spent an enjoyable time on this quiet beach. I would stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!

The location is perfect in the old town. The rooms are well equipped and cleaned every day. The beds are comfortable. The only thing is because of the old building there is no good isolation and it is a bit noisy when someone from the street is walking…

First of all, l will get the negative points out, which are not alot, only 3 small points. 1 was the bathroom....very small, we had to stand in the shower to be able to close the door when entering the bathroom as there wasnt enough room to move around ! 2nd the tv kept losing the stations, therefore, we could not watch any tv. And lastly, the ”dressing table” had the mirror so high, l had to sit on 2 pillows to be able to see myself (and l am not a short person !) But as for the rest .......The enormous bed gave us the best sleeps ever, it was a spacious room, very quiet as we did not have a seaview, which suited our mood fine ! The breakfast was at the hotel nearly next door, and had a very luxurious breakfast on offer from fresh fruit to fried eggs......fresh bakery items lots of choices. The girl behind the counter l think Constandina was extremely helpful. she even made us a breakfast bag as the day we were leaving was very early, which we found very considerate of them. In all, it was a very pleasant experience

Nous avons pas eu d’informations qu’il fallait récupérer les clés dans un autre endroit. À part ça, mon séjour c’est très bien passé. Petit déjeuner complet.

A lovely hotel along with really friendly and helpful staff. I sometimes have found the good customer service in Greece can be a hit or miss affair but not so at the Kriti hotel, they always had a friendly hello and eager to help. I never saw the cleaners but they did a brilliant job. We had complimentary Raki, bowl of fruit and two waters which was a very welcome and nice touch. Breakfast was amazing every day and the fresh orange juice is something I will miss. I'm still a little disappointed by tea but I don't think I've ever had a nice cuppa while in Europe, need to start bringing my own tea bags lol. We never had room service or drinks from the mini bar despite them being reasonably priced, (1.50 euro for water, which isn't far off market rate) To be honest I'm always confused why hotels put such a large mark up on drinks in the mini bar compared to a corner shop because surely they would have more sales if they just charged a market rate. The hotel is really well located, 10 minutes from the harbour and 100s of places to eat and 10 mins from a beach. However I do think the beach being labelled as a beach is bit of an over statement. It's roughly 75 metres long and about 20 metres in depth from the harbour walls. There's plenty of places to swim however with showers and the waters beautiful. If you want a proper beach it's 25 minute walk to one in chania or a 10 minute but journey from town to sunset, iguana or golden sands beach on the number 21 which runs every twenty minutes and costs around 1.60 each way. The hotel is located slightly outside the hustle and bustle of the main port which increases it charm. Good to sleep but really easy access to the area. All in all a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thankyou

We arrived after midnight as our flight was delayed , we were greeted by a lovely young man who helped with our cases and showed us to our room. The room was very nice, modern and clean, great ensuite shower room., fridge with bottles of water. We went back to the bar and were able to get drinks before going to bed. The breakfast was good, nice terrace to sit outside. Loved this hotel, great place to stay near the airport and easy to find with a sat nav, highly recommend. Brilliant staff.

The hotel is below average and obviously sells because of its central location in Heraklion. This is its only advantage. Otherwise : A lot of noise from early morning (big banging, etc.) - to the point where you can't rest. Small and uncomfortable rooms. (They don't even have hangers in the bathroom for towels!) The rooms show strong signs of abandonment. They need renovation. Very modest breakfast, with only the very basics. Everything served is without taste! Only low quality filter coffee is served - without taste. If one wants to get a decent coffee, they must order it from the cafe bar at the entrance and is charged. There is a scale for weighting luggage at the reception. Requires a fee of 1 Euro !!! The staff, although very polite, are not happy or cheerful with clients. To ξενοδοχείο είναι κάτω του μετρίου και προφανώς πουλάει λόγω της θέσης του που είναι σε κεντρικό σημείο του Ηρακλείου. Αυτό αποτελεί το μόνο του πλεονέκτημα. Κατα τα άλλα : Πολύ θόρυβος από τα ξημερώματα (κρούση μεγάλων κτλ) - σε σημείο να μη μπορεί να ξεκουραστεί κανείς. Μικρά και άβολα δωμάτια. (Δεν έχουν ούτε κρεμάστρες στο μπάνιο για τις πετσέτες !) Τα δωμάτια δείχνουν έντονα σημάδια εγκατάλειψης. Χρειάζονται ανακαίνιση. Πολύ λιτό πρωινό, με τα πολύ βασικά μόνο. Πολύ άνοστα όλα ! Καφές μόνο φίλτρου και χωρίς γεύση. Αν θέλει κανείς να πάρει έναν αξιοπρεπή καφέ, τον παραγγέλνει από το cafe bar της εισοδου και χρεώνεται. Υπάρχει χρέωση 1 Ευρώ για να ζυγίσει κάποιος τη βαλίτσα του !!! Το προσωπικό, αν και πολύ ευγενικό, δεν είναι καθόλου πρόσχαρο.

The breakfast is very average, it should be bought at the supermarket. There are triple rooms with double beds and small beds. The entrance is small, not easy to find. No parking lot, very close to the old town and pedestrian street

We have just returned from a week in Crete and are so pleased we chose to stay at the Sergios Hotel. Located centrally, the hotel gleams it is so clean. From Reception to the chef and domestic staff, everyone is friendly and efficient. The room was clean and modern with plenty of drawers and hanging space. Yes the bathrooms are small but perfectly adequate. The restaurant was a real delight, with a good selection of Greek cuisine mixed with the odd themed night. We thought we would eat out more but there was always something to tempt. Finally the bar and Luigi, friendly and efficient, he was always ready with a smile and never failed to ask if we'd enjoyed our day. We would definitely stay in the Sergios Hotel again, please ignore the negative reviews and try it for yourself.

Good day. For the money that we paid for a hotel-hotel worthy! Good, solid repair. Everything is working. Clean toilet. There is everything you need in the kitchen. True frying pan scratched into the board. But this is also a question for tourists! Why are you spoiling hotel property !? After you still come guests !! Well, a hotel, we could already change this stuff to a new pan. Also, called the hotel, be so kind as to comply with the rules. The number of towels is not normal. Only 2 per person And the first 5 days, these were beach brown towels, then they brought white ones. Also, there is no quenched paper. The cleaning lady said that it wasn’t allowed and buy paper yourself at the hotel’s store! This also violates the norms of the hotel business! There are also no toiletries. Even elemental soap. Otherwise, everything is tolerable! Clean well, clean everywhere. The question now is different: to Trip through which we booked this hotel. In the voucher from the company indicated meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) Upon check-in at the hotel, we were denied meals! They stated that they do not have free food. And the fact that we were deceived by the company in which we paid for the tour! As a result, no one fed us! Voucher from the company. Food trip and hotel voucher without food in my arms. I will file complaints with the relevant authorities!

Just back from a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The staff made us feel so welcome especially the bartender Yannis (Gentjav) who not only serves great cocktails but is a true gentleman and gave us lots of advice and local recommendations. It's a small hotel I'd say more suited to adults but it was clean, the food was lovely and there was a good fresh selection every day. The location is perfect, few minutes from the beach, bars and walking distance to the quieter traditional villages just 10 minutes away. Completely made us fall in love with Crete.

Often you come somewhere and then the photos turn out to be more beautiful than reality. In this case, a pleasant stroke of luck. Pool is bigger than it looks in the pictures and spotlessly clean. Water not cold. Apartment simple and clean (and also cleaned daily). People very friendly. Mattresses are hard but you get used to it. Center and entertainment venues literally around the corner (leave the area behind and turn left, walk down the street and you're in the nightlife). Parking is a drama. You can park your rental car or quad at the back of the road, but don't be surprised if there are footprints on your hood or car roof the next day. Brits apparently like to walk over cars.....
