10/10 Excellent

We stayed here at the start and finish of our Crete experience. A lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful pool, good food and drinks, great location (close to beaches, old town, port, and airpirt). Definitely recommend!!
Kirsten, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Late check in was great. The staff made us some dinner even though it was after 10pm. Very accommodating. Room was comfortable for 4 as expected.
Peter, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We chose this hotel because of proximity to the airport. It’s clean, staff is great, but the beds are hard and we had some trouble getting the aircon the way we needed it.

Very nice and clean
ROGER, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Close to airport

Good hotel for a quick stay if you are leaving early or arriving late at Heraklion airport. Good location close to airport. Comfortable stay and good breakfast.
Johnston, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The Sofia Hotel was just what i expected it to be. It was a hotel near the airport that was very convenient to stay at the night before our flight so that we could be at the airport very early. I don't think I would stay there otherwise but the staff was very nice and it certainly did exactly what we needed it to do.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

This was a good hotel to stay at in the interim however when I booked online it mentioned that all taxes and fees were included but upon checking out they try to tax me further for the night.
Toyosi, 1-night trip

My go to stay when I'm in Heraklion!

No complains, recommended
Mischa, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We rented this hotel for easy access to the Heraklion airport for a morning flight. It is very convenient to the airport and was a very short cab ride away. That is the main attraction here. It is clean enough, and safe enough, and close enough. Nothing else is significant to note. very average hotel.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good access to the airport. Close to the bus to Heraklion. Staff were very helpful. The only wrinkle is that water in the rooms is non-potable so bring your own water.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay. Close to airport and port.
Mary, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel staff was very nice! Super easy and quick check in for a one night stay between flights and other stays. Pretty clean except for the shower. One of the dirtiest showers I have ever used. Hair was all over stuck in the shower door along with dark scum all over the tiles. Really gross and I was super disappointed in that. Other than that I thought the hotel was clean in other areas, but could use an upgrade. Also the bed was made with no fitted sheet and just two top sheets which I also find kind of gross because it wasn’t made with the second top sheet. Good for one nights if you need something quick but would not want to stay longer.
Anna, 1-night trip
