Top Knossos Archaeological Site Hotel Reviews

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel tout simplement impeccable. Et excellent service"

Anesea City

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this brand-new boutique hotel. The location was perfect for us, conveniently close to both the airport and the port, with plenty of excellent restaurants and bakeries within walking distance. The room was exceptional—beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Thoughtful touches like coffee in the room, plush robes, and luxurious towels made the stay feel extra special. The owner was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay easy and enjoyable. He arranged a taxi for us early the next morning, and even though we were leaving before breakfast officially started, he made sure we had something to eat before we left. A beautiful new hotel with wonderful hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Great location."

Lato Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and big. It had a great balcony, we actually had 2, a big one facing the harbor and a little one on the side."

Mirabello Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Helpfull staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Artion City Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"I choose this spot over others because they mentioned a complimentary shuttle to square/ heart of town which was not the case. I don’t mind walking but I only have so many footsteps a day due to double foot surgery. Other than that , everything was great. The staff, the food, & the property itself. Thank you."

Chapter 02 Gallery Suites

8/10 Good

"Great choice for a hotel close to the airport! Room was very clean & reasonably priced. Great restaurant adjacent to the property. Small parking area in the rear. Only downside was they don’t have a staffed reception area. We had to ask a waiter in the restaurant to help us figure out how to access our room (they said they emailed the access codes but we never received it - and we stayed there twice)."

Ibis Styles Heraklion Central

8/10 Good

"Overall stay was good. Great location to everything that we needed"

Hotel Olympic

8/10 Good

"Old town location. Parking lots are close to the hotel(150m walk to StS lots). Front desk staff were helpful. Good free beakfast. Beds were comfy. Housekeeping could do better, our bathtub had a bath ring, needs a good scrub! Asked staff to put our beds together to make up as a double and they didn't bother. Both nights we came back after a days out onbtours and the patio door was left open so we weren't happy with that."
