"Excellent hotel. Accommodated for our group of nine to the highest standard. The hotel was exactly what we wanted and is represented extremely well by the pictures.
Most importantly, the staff were incredible in making sure we had everything we needed and handled our group with so much respect. They were all so friendly and happy to assist with anything, always greeting us on our way in and out of the hotel.
Visit this place, it’s amazing!"

"A beautiful setting to explore the enchanted village of Archanes. Be prepared for lots of friendly cats, you may wish to bring some treats with you, or pick some up at the local market. Hosts recommendations for dining and exploring were very good."

"Had a fantastic stay at Psaras. This was our 2nd time & equally enjoyable. Comfy beds, constant hot water, great position for restaurants, bars etc & maid service regularly.
The only thing to mention is on our previous visit we could use the pool at the hotel in front. We were told we couldn’t do that any more as it’s an all inclusive hotel & it’s not free to use the pool/beds like it was 4 yrs ago. Otherwise all good "

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
Lovely food, great amenities and the staff couldn’t do enough for you.
The vibe is relaxed and it feels like there is a good amount of space so nowhere feels too crowded. We were there just as a couple but there were lots of families and children there but not to the point where it was disruptive if you’re just trying to have a relaxing time.
Would definitely go back."

"A lot of ants inside the room. We needed to pay for the air conditioning 8€ per day which is not in the description. We stayed 3 days and the day after we asked for towels change then they said they change towels every 2 days. After 2 days we asked for new towels then I had to hear that i got only 1 day left before check out and they don’t charge towels when we got only 1 day left. Really weird rules. "

"Very nice clean property while staying at Heraklion, staff was always very helpful especially with parking, great location close to port and not too far from airport. Property was conveniently located near lots of places to eat and walking distance to ocean to watch amazing sunsets."

"The highlights of the stay were the excellent breakfast buffet. It was really impressive. The more the guests, the better the offerings.
We were half board so had dinner as well. There weren’t enough guests on half board so there wasn’t a buffet but the hotel allowed us to order anything on the menu. The drinks on the last night were comped which was quite nice.
Stella from F&B was a standout. She was incredibly welcoming and helpful and very understanding, helping us get comfortable at the hotel.
The other staff member who helped us was the young man at the door. He helped create a great impression for the first time, we didn’t see him much so I couldn’t catch his name.
The other staff especially front desk really lacked hospitality and bedside manner. Requests to answer questions or open the garage were met with “what!?” as though we spouted blasphemy. Very strange and uninviting.
The hotel parking is convenient but kind of a pain to get in — you have to send someone up to front desk to have them open the gate while you hover there blocking the street.
There are two pools and I would rate them as satisfactory because they are very small.
The location is excellent. Just adjacent to the museum and our room had a wonderful view of the port and the water.
We enjoyed our stay there."
"I had a wonderful stay at Sofia's Hotel. It's incredibly convenient, located just a 10-minute walk from the airport. You can also take Bus #6 for only €1–2, which drops you off very close to the hotel. I chose to walk, and it was an easy, pleasant walk.
The service was exceptional from the moment I arrived. The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions. The hotel has a nice pool and an on-site restaurant, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of options.
The room was clean, the Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay, and the price was excellent for an overnight stay. If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable, and convenient hotel near the airport, I highly recommend Sofia's Hotel."
"Overall very nice and clean , friendly staff and i would recommend this place.
The only down side was the poor Wifi connection kept going in and out so if you need work done using your computer ,it will mess you up . NO AC in closed common public spaces like lobby hallways and etc."
"Everything about this hotel was great. I will definitely come back. A big shout out to some of the waiters and waitresses who looked after us: Zafeira, Zambia, Eva, Dinitris (both of them!). Thank you for looking after us ao well. You guys are amazing"
"Beautiful hotel with rooftop bar and gym, rooms are clean and spacious.
Easy check in, staff were very friendly.
Close to shops and restaurants . Located right across the street from the Heraklion port .
I would definitely go back and strongly recommend this hotel."
"Wonderful hotel. Close to the main street.
The area the hotel is in is a bit sketchy but walking 2 minutes you’re in the main town.
Staff was incredible. Restaurant and bar were great. Highly recommend."
"Breakfast and views were great. Room had no luggage racks or places to open luggage, shower was beautiful but no door so the floor got soaked while showering"
