Lovely appointed hotel, very peaceful, convenient and with secure parking. We used this hotel for a 2 day stop over, before catching the ferry to Santorini. Could not get a more luxurious and convenient hotel for the ferry!! Highly recommend the restaurant Peskesi in Heraklion (book) and a visit to Stilianou winery (both highlights of our brief but very comfortable stay at this hotel).
The rooms are lovely, clean and well appointed. Comfy beds and nice quality linens. Nespresso machine, kettle and fridge in room. Fabulous breakfast variety and quality! Highly recommend!
Clean and I the center of Heraklion, right by the old port. Scenic.
The people were very courteous and accommodating.
One note that I can’t blame Megaron for, but the street side rooms can get pretty noisy in the evenings due to traffic and pedestrians.
This is a 5 star hotel with really nice decorations. Everything is perfect: breakfast is fantastic, staffs are super friendly; location is great, walkable to all favorite places.
Our room was spotless and was cleaned daily by efficient & polite staff. The entire staff were very professional and very easy to deal with. The morning breakfast was fantastic with lots of choices. We stayed there for three nights and enjoyed our stay very much.
Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff super friendly, welcoming, helpful, and polite.
Breakfast was very good. If I had one suggestion, it would be to reduce the amount of desserts and sweets offered and replace with more hot food options such as waffles/pancakes, omelets to order etc. however, this was low season so I guess there is a concern about wastage
Magnificent hotel with an excellent service and breakfast! Our room was great! The Sauna service was an extra plus for us! We truly enjoyed our stay! Highly recommended
Staff was very helpful. They called to ask if we would need a taxi the next day when we were leaving. Taxi service was supposed to be striking that day. We had a rental car so Taxi was not needed.
Stayed at the Megaron many times and love it.
Most pleasant and convenient hotel in Heraklion.
The breakfast is outstanding and the staff are always super-helpful and nice.
Beautiful hotel with amazing staff… great breakfasts and nice dinning options in the roof to wine bar/restaurant….walkable from port if you come by ferry.
This is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel. Katarina and her so, Kinstantinos, are the very gracious owners of this gorgeous property in the heart of Rethymno. All the ancient and amazing sites are within walking distance, as well as wonderful dining and shopping options. The only downside is the parking situation, challenging in Rethymno, to say the least. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.
