Top Palace of Knossos Hotel Reviews

Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely location. Very nice breakfast."

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here overnight before our flight back to LA and it was perfect. It’s a gorgeous and chic historical hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating and gave us a nice complimentary upgrade for our anniversary (so sweet!). The housekeeping woman was also so nice and left us some local treats and Raki. The room was huge and the bed was also really comfortable (I am very picky with beds, especially in Europe). The large bathroom was by far the nicest of all of the hotels we stayed throughout our time in Greece with Korres bath products which was a very classy touch. Amazing rain shower and water pressure. Make sure not to leave Greece without picking up some Korres! The rooftop is perfect for sunset drinks. We didn’t have time for the pool, but if we were there for longer we definitely would have taken advantage. It’s on the smaller side but perfect for a quick dip. It is also very well located in a safe area and walking distance to so many shops and restaurants while also being a quick drive to the airport for an early departure. We had a nice time walking along the marina and checking out all of the boats and grabbing a fresh seafood dinner on the water. We were trying to locate a specific type of unique souvenir we had been looking for but couldn’t find throughout our trip, and the front desk receptionist was very helpful in helping us find it a short walk away! Will come back for longer next time, thanks GDM!"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Mirabello Hotel

8/10 Good

"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."
