Top Heraklion Hotel Reviews

Atrion Hotel

Atrion Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hotel was very good and the food was good also. I felt at the end like the restaurant staff were either fed up of me or just being very cold towards me, this is my only issue. The hotel is situated in a nice area near the rocky beach and is convenient if you have a car also. I would highly recommend using an app on your phone called get your guide and travelling all over Crete because there is some quite unbelievable places to visit within the island. Hotel was 8/10 and the tours I done were 10/10"

8/10 Good
"We booked our stay months in advance of our trip. Yet when we arrived at 11pm at night (my wife, I, 2 children and the Mother In Law we were told the room wasn’t ready(?!) and they would have to put another bed in a different room so we could all fit in. That led to a half hour delay (not welcome at that time of night with young children) and worse still we would have to move rooms the next day…hotel is good for a city centre location, but that really poor start left a bad taste in the mouth…."
