"We had a terrible experience. This property is not managed 24h. The owner comes by only when it's needed. Their check-in time is 4 pm and the owner told us the reception closes at 4:30 pm which gave us 30 min window to check-in. We had to rush to get the keys. She told us she would leave her contact information and useful links for the property to our phone and email but we never received it. She said she lives 15 min away and will come by when it's needed. We mentioned that we will have to...

"We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Old Town, surrounded by great restaurants and cafés, and just a short walk to the main strip. It’s close enough to enjoy all the fun, but far enough to escape the loud music at night, which was a huge plus.
The apartment itself was spotless and had everything we needed. It was spacious, comfortable, and even had direct USB ports for charging our phones—super convenient!

"Ein tolles Apartment mit Klima und Smart TV. Mit großer Terrasse und Blick aufs Meer und den Hafen.
Nach einer Woche bekamen wir neue Bettwäsche und neue Handtücher.
Auch wenn der Pub unterhalb lange geöffnet hat war es im Zimmer nicht zu hören."

"A lot of ants inside the room. We needed to pay for the air conditioning 8€ per day which is not in the description. We stayed 3 days and the day after we asked for towels change then they said they change towels every 2 days. After 2 days we asked for new towels then I had to hear that i got only 1 day left before check out and they don’t charge towels when we got only 1 day left. Really weird rules. "

"It was a nice place to spend the night before catching a flight early the next morning. The host even helped to book a driver to take us to the airport. We had a lovely dinner just down the street within walking distance. The area was crowded with tourists though and many loud cars seemed to be zooming around the area."

"It is a good hotel. Beautiful location, friendly staff. But for the price and as it is 5 star hotel, i would expect to more. For 5 star hotel i would expect for better food quality, better facilities and fancier rooms!
I would be a great for 4 stars hotel."
"Nous sommes aux portes de l’aéroport. Il y a une piscine, des serviettes disponibles. Un restaurant sur place et un service de déjeuner excellent! Un ascenseur pour les étages. Un local pour travailler et un coin internet. Un stationnement disponible et à l’écart de la rue même s’il y a de la place pour stationner partout autour. Une cantina tout près et un dépanneur aussi. Sérieux ? quand tu arrives ou que tu quittes Héraklion et que tu veux que ce soit parfait avant ou après ton séjour en Crète c’est un havre de repos. J’imagine aussi que ce serait extra aussi pour séjourner longtemps. Seul possible bémol pour certains les avions décollent juste à côté. C’est beau les voir tout illuminé de soir. Un grand merci à l’équipe du Sophia hôtel. J’ai adoré xx"
"One of the best resorts I have ever visited. From the property, staff, our suite, the service, the smell, attention to details and food; 100/10.
My friends and I had an amazing time and did not even explore or utilize all the amenities.
Will definitely be back with my spouse."
"We stayed in a junior suite. Overall the room was lovely and the view over the beach was the best part. As we were in a suite a sofa would have been nice but there was one chair.
The staff at Expedia were very good and answered every query efficiently so will definitely be using Expedia again. Also the hotel staff were very polite.
The food area were very clean and had a sufficient variety of options every day although there was always a shortage of spoons and cups. Everyone was constantly asking the staff for more of these.
Beach towels, you had to pay 2€ to change which was a surprise.
There was no bar after 9pm and there was only 2 sofas by the bar to sit after you had eaten.
We probably won't stay at this hotel again but overall we had a nice stay."
"Smaller, older hotel which was just the right size for a relaxing break. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Some parts of the property were a little tired but this did not detract from the overall experience. Beach was lovely as was the large pool. Food was varied and of a high standard."
