I found the hotel's location absolutely perfect, so close to museums and town centre, Eleutheria's Square in Heraklion, and shopping area and restaurants.
There was view to be needed.

Excellent very central location close enough to a central plaza, opposite the Archaeological museum and on a walking distance from the ferries port and the central bus station, the archeological museum and the bus stop to the airoport. Plus, it was 15 minutes drive by car from Mary's Shell.

Food was reasonably priced and I have nothing but fairly nice memories from this trip. The room was extremely spacious and huge, with safe and fabulous views over the town. The location was great, near to the center! I was happy to find Happy Gathering, it was approx 10-15 minutes' walk from the hotel and served nice food.

Very central location next to many sights for tourists, public transport and taxis and the port, the museum, the Morosini Fountain, it was in a downtown area. The staff were all wonderfully friendly, superfriendly.
Disappointing aspect was too small bathroom.

The units are reasonably large and functional with historical photos above the bed. The hotel has a marvellous and efficient location in the centre, next door to a museum and an archaeological museum. There's Harry Ramsden's offering takeout a 10-15 minute walking distance from the venue. The rooftop bar is fantastic.
Views are not so great.
