Very Great hotel right in the center of Heraklion — clean, modern, and super comfortable. The reception team was amazing: really friendly, professional, and always there to help. Maria stood out — she was so kind, spoke several languages, and made everything easy to communicate. You can tell she really cares about the guests.
