A big reason to come to Crete and stay in Heraklion is Captain Napoleon. Fantastic breakfast included, wonderful rooftop views, nice pool, good room with balcony, not far from the airport and ferries, and best of all the staff went truly above and beyond to make our stay and vacation great.
Convenient location to museum; walking distance to all; very helpful staff, easy parking, very modern "high tech" building and we needed guidance for operating AC among other things; so ask your questions. We had 2 sinks and showers( !) an additional perk; I would recommend screens for windows to be able to open them. gym was a nice addition.
Our stay was fantastic!! A new beautifully designed modern hotel with such amazing attention to every detail. It is a small family-owned business and you are indeed treated like family. The breakfast was also perfectly presented and delicious . Don't miss the opportunity to stay in this new beautifully dedigned warm and friendly boutique hotel..
Very nice clean property while staying at Heraklion, staff was always very helpful especially with parking, great location close to port and not too far from airport. Property was conveniently located near lots of places to eat and walking distance to ocean to watch amazing sunsets.
A very avant-garde boutique hotel. Location was perfect for walking to many areas to visit. Staff was exceptional! Room was clean, artfully decorated! Highly recommend
Clean space overall
Hot tub had a strange smell to it so unfortunately didn’t use it
Front desk was closed upon arrival and departure due to late night/early morning arrivals and departures so we was asked to leave 2 euros for nightly “environmental fee”, we left the 2 euros as asked and was still charged on our invoice for the fee. I know 2 euros isn’t much but taking the cash and still charging us is not right in our opinion
Great centralized location to restaurants and shops
Small resort on the hill overlooking the sea. New pool is sweet. We had a hot tub room, which was perfect. We overheard others with saying the private pools were too cold to hang out in. Breakfast was delicious. Walking to the beach town nearby was fun. Roads are very narrow and dark at night. It’s easy to get a cab back to the hotel.
Everyone from the front desk staff, to the restaurant staff, and housekeeping went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely fabulous. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay. The breakfast was like nothing I had ever seen. So fresh and so much variety. Everything was delicious! You will love your stay here!
Fantastic stay. Everything seemed to be well thought out from the check in to the minor details in the room. Appreciate the wine and the chocolates.
The location was perfect. Walking distance to cafes, shopping etc.
Thanks for a great stay.
The staff was incredibly helpful, we arrived late and they were very accommodating. We had an issue connecting to the wifi and they made sure to help us out. They even let us check out later as it was the first night of our honeymoon. Couldn’t have asked for a better host.
Very walkable to everything in the area. Unit has high quality windows which filter out all street noise. Very comfortable furniture, especially the beds. High quality unit, fit and finish matches the pictures.
We only stayed for one night as we just needed a room near the ferry port, but it was an excellent stay. Easy check-in, parking was no hassle, nicely furnished kitchenette, and very comfortable and well appointed room. Would definitely stay again.
