Top Koules Fortress Hotel Reviews

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"

Olive Green Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean, and centrally located hotel. About 20 minutes walk from the port. A few minutes walk to Heraklion's Archeological Museum which is a must-see in Heraklion. Many restaurants and local stores around. At night it can be a bit noisy but that is the advantage of being close to many attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There's also laundry and luggage storage services nearby for those who may wa t to store their luggage while traveling to islands. Highly recommended and would stay here again."

RoccaMare Heraklion - Handwritten Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, great hotel. Parking experience can be improved!"

Metropole Urban Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property was good and breakfast at the restaurant in the morning was plentiful as well (leave a lot of time for it). Area was quiet and nice. The thing that was annoying, however, was tha light in the washroom was turning on at night when you tried using it, waking up both yourself and your family members."

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in the harbor, walking distance to everything, implacable rooms."

Marin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and within walking distance of attractions, shopping, food, buses. Staff extremely attentive in the lobby and restaurant area. Breakfast fantastic selection and variety every day of stay. Room and balcony overlooking the marina etc. wonderful.Would stay there again."

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."

Ibis Styles Heraklion Central
