10/10 Exceptional

Very nice front desk people, also 24 hour front desk. Our room had a little private balcony which is nice (I think all do) pool was nice (open til 7 pm) . Parking on street was regular trying to find a spot but they have a private lot also but about 10-15 spots. About 5 min drive from airport and 5-10 min drive to the fortress/downtown. Nice quiet safe location.

Ann Marie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Situé à quelques minutes en voiture de la vieille ville et tout proche de l'aéroport. Chambre basique mais suffisant pour un court séjour. Parking avec une dizaine de places sinon dans la rue. Belle piscine pas testée. Petit déjeuner buffet correct.

Jeffrey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
