Top Palace of Knossos Hotel Reviews

"Beautiful place, wonderful service, comfortable beds."

Artion City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, and the location was excellent for walking into Heraklion. The room was very clean and comfortable, although there was a problem with water pressure in the shower. Breakfast was excellent, providing a wide choice, and the dining room was attractive and comfortable. We will be happy to return and recommend to our friends."

Marvel Deluxe Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Emplacement très propre avec terrasse au toit, petit déjeuner complet et délicieux. Personnel très accueillant et sympathique."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Everything worked well and house keeping was very fast to deliver wash cloths. The included breakfast was excellent. The entire staff were helpful, pleasent and overall great. A very good value for the price and location."

Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly staff, decent hotel overall."

Anesea City

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this brand-new boutique hotel. The location was perfect for us, conveniently close to both the airport and the port, with plenty of excellent restaurants and bakeries within walking distance. The room was exceptional—beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Thoughtful touches like coffee in the room, plush robes, and luxurious towels made the stay feel extra special. The owner was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay easy and enjoyable. He arranged a taxi for us early the next morning, and even though we were leaving before breakfast officially started, he made sure we had something to eat before we left. A beautiful new hotel with wonderful hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!"

Mirabello Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Helpfull staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

El Greco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is incredible. Hotel staff are super friendly. And the place is cheap as chips. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough!!!! 10/10."

Scalarea Estate Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We were here with two college aged children. We did the wine tour, which was fabulous! The breakfast is to die for! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an epic experience. Only two things to be aware of... 1. There were a number of slow moving, hard shelled small bugs. We realized it was just part of being in the middle of a vineyard and my husband and son made a game of how many they scooped up and released outside each evening. 2. One of the twin beds squeaks a lot. Thankfully my daughter was a good sport about it. And it didn't detract from the 99% of the stay that was amazing! Hope you create beautiful family memories there like we did!"
