At first we missed the hotel as it is set back behind a restaurant when driving.
Parking is across the road and if full the Metaxa staff ensure their was a spot.
Shower and toilet were separate which was very good.
Bathroom space for products is limited.
Bed was comfortable.
Coffee (pods) / tea amenities good.
Balcony overlooking the Port was good.
Location was very good with the archaeological museum a few mins walk.
Restaurants plenty nearby.
We had to leave before breakfast was available and the staff advised and supplied a breakfast gift box to take away.
We enjoyed the stay.
Thank you

The staff were amazing & helpful. The room was impressive and very clean. Had all the amenities as advertised. Would definitely stay again.
The rooms and hotel were nice and very centrally located. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We just had a couple of negatives which knocked it down from an ‘excellent’ review. Our daughter and her friend got locked out of the hotel at 1am as the hotel front door shut and the member of staff wasn’t there so my husband had to go down and get them let in (main issue), we tripped the electrics in our room (room 203) with the hotel provided iron, the shower was a bit of a slip hazard (needs an anti slip mat) and the kettle had a leak in the bottom.
Nice hotel. Conveniently located in the centre of city. Very pleasant people working in the hotel especially waiter and waitress at the restaurant. Would stay again.
Staff was fantastic! Loved staying here. Everything was walkable and food was delicious. Highly recommend and would definitely return. Thank you for a memorable stay.🙏❤️
The property is very conveniently located to walking distance from good quality restaurants, shopping areas, port.
The suites included breakfast is very good and everybody working there has great attitude, friendly, helpful and always with a nice smile in their face
Excellent hotel in a good position in Heraklion. Our second stay - rooms are comfortable and well equipped, breakfast was large (too large for us) and meals in the restaurant were excellent. Staff are really helpful and very friendly. The one downside is the parking - close a car park but always full. Great hotel will stay again if on Crete.
The people at Sunny Villas are great!! They go out of their way to make sure the guests are taken care of and will help with whatever is needed. The hotel has the best views of both the famous Santorini sunset and the Caldera… very tranquil and peaceful. Would highly recommend Sunny Villas to anyone looking to stay in Santorini
This was our third stay at this hotel. We enjoy the comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff and the good breakfasts. It is well placed inside the walls of the old town and in easy walk to good restaurants (if a bit touristy) and some good coffee shops and so on. The shopping area is great (so my wife tells me) although we don't do much of that while we are there. Previously we have taken a car but parking around the hotel is difficult so this time we left the car and used taxis and buses as necessary. If you want a comfortable room with good facilities and a king size bed this could be for you. We recommend.
We had an amazing time at Legacy. The staff helped to make it perfect. The food was awesome, but so much of it. Breakfast was fresh Cretan pastries and jams. We added fresh cooked eggs! It was close to shopping and the Lion Square.
Congestion in and around Heraklion is insane. We stayed 4 days and had to park our car a mile away and walk back and forth. ZERO available parking near this hotel. The hotel needs to figure this out because the current situation is unacceptable. This is most unfortunate because the hotel itself is fantastic! Great staff, great room and close to a lot of shopping and dining options (walking). The construction outside added to the congestion and created a noisy and dirty enviro-ment outside the hotel. This is not the hotels fault, but it does contribute to the overall feeling of the stay.
