Top Karteros Hotel Reviews

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was beautiful and the room spacious and very clean. But both bathrobes were missing the belts and the room service was very slow. We ordered a drink to deliver to the room and it took 1,5 hours until we got it."

Mirabello Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean and helpful staff"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

8/10 Good

"A nice location just out of the old town. A quick and friendly check in with a small upgrade to a harbour view ,which was very much appreciated. Standard size room with an excellent shower but a terrible mattress that gave me terrible back ache , not something I suffer with normally. It was all a little “sterile” tbh, staff who were polite but not particularly friendly. We didn’t ear at the hotel but did enjoy a wine in the bar each night , being served by a scruffy and a little grumpy barman. We would not choose to stay again as it’s clearly aimed more of a business hotel ."

Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice Hotel and friendly staff."

Lyttos Beach - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Amazing"

The Island - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel Resort. Excellent Breakfast, nice rooms and pools, professional and very helpfull staff, well located with almost "private" Sea Beach. Incredible Sea view. If possible I will keep visiting them almost every year."

Galaxy Hotel Iraklio

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent. We really like our pool view room (quiet). The included breakfast was good. We had one dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was very good. The internet is poor and the tv channels don’t have many (news outlets only) English options."

Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about the property."
