10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

"Very clean and helpful staff"

Artion City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, friendly staff and management. Unfortunately had an issue with my ferry and missed a night of my stay but management was very helpful in trying to accommodate me. My only issue is that then hot water sometimes ran out in the shower and tap but the staff told me they were currently working on this issue which is reassuring. Great central location right near the centre of Heraklion"

10/10 Excellent

"What can I say about Green Acre Villa. It's absolutely amazing! The photos don't do it justice as it's such a stunning place, inside and outside. The decor and detail of the inside is beautiful. We were 6 people staying there with lots of space. We never felt on top of each other. Outside is a dream space. Also very secure with a space to park a car on the driveway. My daughter got married while we were there and the photographer loved the outside space so much she wanted to take extra photos. Manos & Klelia were very attentative hosts. Any questions we had, Manos responded immediately. Thankyou so much for everything you did for us. I can most definitely 100% recommend the villa. We can't wait to come back again next time we're in Crete."

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."
