Apartments in Crete, Greece

Communication was exceptional for our stay at City Lion. Even before our stay, Michalis provided some helpful information to ensure that we were well updated and comfortable. During our actual check-in, the hosts, Michalis and Christos, were both there to welcome us, as well give us some helpful tips about the city. We definitely felt the hospitality! As for the hotel itself, the facilities were all very sleek and smart. It showed that everything about the building and fixtures were well thought out. There was ample space in our suite and it also had everything we could need inside. The balcony was also very nice addition. All throughout our stay, the hosts were every engaging and always ready to help. We also had a very smooth check out. Overall, the efforts in promoting a comfortable stay from the hosts was greatly appreciated. I can definitely recommend City Lion for a great stay in Heraklion and I would definitely not mind staying here again!

The aparments are 10 min walk away from main town and 5-6 minutes from the beach. There are lots of lovely cafes nearby for breakfast. Although called an apartment there is no kitchenette to prepare a small meal- just kettle, coffee machine and fridge. Maybe I should have checked what all was included in the kitchenette before booking. We didnt have a great experience the first 2 nights as the AC wasnt cooling in our bedroom and we were prepared to check out instead of ruining our holiday but were offered a different apartment where the AC worked fine. The basement parking is quiet convenient. The cleaning team does a good job as we had flies in our shower (in the second apartment) and they cleaned it well each day. Over all, an ok experience but I wouldnt be rushing to book it again.

I had a pleasant 7 night stay here at this accommodation while in Heraklion, Crete. It belongs to the Lato Boutique, which is the main hotel. The Annex is right opposite and required card access to enter. Room was the Economy room (15 sq. metres), a little on the small side, but good enough for a solo traveller. The room was right next to the stairwell and the lift, so there were times I could hear people moving about, but at night it was very quiet, and there were no sleep disruptions. Bed was comfy, air-conditioning was also good. The shower was also good, with shampoo and soap provided, though I noticed it was running a little low towards the end of my stay (i.e., no refills were done). I also appreciated that a luggage rack was provided, along with two bottles of water on check-in day. Fridge was big enough to fit lots of mineral water bottles to keep them cold, which would be a great reprieve in the summer time. Room safe was incredibly huge as well, it can easily store laptops securely, if needed. The elevator door got stuck on the day of check-out, but still worked, so not too big of an issue there. Wi-Fi requires a special code that you can get from the reception. My first code strangely stopped working after two days, but was promptly rectified after I informed the reception of the issue. There were no other connectivity issues for me. The hotel location is pretty near to the Venetian Port, and the Rocca Fortress; it is also walking distance away from the main shopping street in Heraklion and lots of good eating places nearby. There are also supermarkets nearby to get water as well. It does get quiet at night, but I did not encounter any incidents that made me feel unsafe. My room came with buffet breakfast included, which is served in the main building. Breakfast starts service from 7 am onwards, and was generally quite crowded at the start. Depending on the crowd level, the staff will occasionally open up a new section of the dining area. Breakfast was generally good, there was a good spread of American breakfast items, to pastries, ham and cheese and even Greek yogurt with a lot of condiments. It varied a little bit from day-to-day, but was generally the same for the most part.

Our check-in time was late, and the front desk lady was very warm and smiled beautifully and quickly checked in for us. The room was pleasantly surprised, clean and tidy, and there was a balcony. The room has an induction cooker, tableware, microwave oven, etc. It is very convenient to cook. The most pleasant surprise is that it takes only three minutes to walk across a road from the old city tourist area. Decisively stay for two more days. It’s too OK to choose Antel for Kaniya tourism.

I was very pleased with my stay here for 6 nights. I arrived late at night so the hotel reception was a little tricky to find, and I was nervous since all the shops were closed and the streets were kind of empty but actually the neighborhood is entirely safe and right in the middle of all the action. I loved having everything right at my doorstep - restaurants, shopping, the old town center. The room was clean and actually much larger than I expected. Good wifi, powerful air conditioner, comfortable bed. Overall I had a great stay and highly recommend for anyone watching their budget but wanting to be in the heart of everything.

How lucky I was to have chosen Notus Hotel! Perfect central location in old Chania town and yet quiet and peaceful. All points of interest are within walking distance as are excellent restaurants and bars. The room is well equiped; A/C, comfortable large bed, fridge (which had water, a beer and small bottle of wine for free), kettle, coffee machine, plates and cutlery. The bathroom has a hair dryer, shampoo and soap. All is soptless! Loved the Saturday street market bemow my balcony! The owner, Manolis, is the perfect host! He is there to greet you in the morning and you can ask him about anything, always helpful and he gives great advice on where to go and what not to miss. And a big thank you to Monica, who is part of the cleaning staff, for he good mood and kind smile you offer every morning. If I come back to Chania, I’ll be back at Notus !

Today, I have landed back home after spending amazing week at this family-run hotel. I can definitely tell you that it was one of the best holidays I have ever had, filled with nice people and great Greek weather. The hotel is located very conveniently, you have a lot of shops and restaurants nearby. Lidl is just 5-7 min walk. Next to the hotel there was a great coffee shop- Move on. Next to the hotel there is a bus stop which will take you to Chania city centre for a nice promenade and a delicious dinner. Hotel itself is of an apartment style with amazing pool which was always well-maintained and clean. Every day the girls made sure that our room is clean and we have new towels, and they were making quite impressive compositions from flowers and towels😁 The manager of the hotel was extremely friendly and always dealt efficiently with any requests we had. Breakfast was delicious and overall our stay was extremely enjoyable. Definitely visit this hotel to feel the amazing Greek hospitality.

We had a lovely apartment, very spacious, with all the mod cons. Comfortable bed, air con, mini kitchen, terrace, Next decade bathroom - so many options for how you want your water to come out for shower. Short walk to Heaven Beach and restaurant/bar. Other restaurants/shops on main road. So wanted to give this a 5 but just felt a little let down by owner/manager who was not particularly helpful. We arrived late and asked about the closest restaurant and he said go back to main road but Heaven restaurant is like 50m away not towards main road. I saw their neon light and we went there, it was great for hungry/thirsty late arrivals.

It is more convenient to go to Curlesburg, the bus station, and the central square. It is almost 500 meters walk. Take the 2nd road to Knossos Palace. The hotel staff is warm and friendly, the breakfast is very rich, and it is constantly improving according to our needs. The hotel can also help contact sightseeing. Because it is difficult to go to Spinalonga Island in the off-season (not open on weekdays), but Mary helped contact the taxi driver, carefully planned the route and plan for us, and constantly discussed. On the day of the trip, the driver also learned that there is a temporary group on the island, so by the way, it can be opened to us, so that the journey has no regrets!

Having travelled across Crete on an exceptionally hot day we navigated the often mad roads of Heraklion to find this gem of a place. Brilliant staff, apartment and amenities!! We found the apartment to be very modern with all the mod cons and more! The staff were very locally knowledgeable and generous with their time and assistance. We couldn’t recommend this highly enough. As a family of four it’s often hard to do these kind of trips well and we needed a one night lay over in comfort prior to an early ferry to Santorini. I only wish we’d planned an extra night here to chill in luxury a bit more. The pool Is hilariously tiny but good fun and not to be avoided even if there are others enjoying it’s bijou status. There is a decent sized gym with treadmill and various weightlifting gadgetry too! Just book it!

Wonderful experience in the heart of Heraklion! The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, providing a sense of comfort and relaxation. The hosts were exceptionally kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to enjoy a comfortable and pleasant stay in the center of Heraklion.

The apartment is very well located in the centre of Heraklion. It is 20 minutes' drive from the airport. On the same street there is a paying underground parking (EUR 12) we used at 5 occasions without any problem. There is also a spice, cake, restaurants and a multitude of shops around. Geographically, the location is ideal. We have resided at the apartment 1 of the 4th floor. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable. In the morning, you are left at lunch for two: cereals, milk, eggs, confectionery, bread, etc. However, the apartment would need some more equipment: microwaves, sheets, bread grill, slipboard, convenient, The hotel is very small and it is not very easy to get in the room. When you stay there for more than a week, you realize, at this moment, the lack of equipment.

The aparments are 10 min walk away from main town and 5-6 minutes from the beach. There are lots of lovely cafes nearby for breakfast.

Cute, cuter, cutest. Elia is the cutest. The sheets were comfy, the bed stiff yet plush. My wife enjoyed the balcony although the view was slightly over mediocre. The free, fresh cookies and eggs were a nice touch. The fridge did make brown noise but really, at the end of the day, I think it helped us sleep better (even though we had to wake up at 4:30am to catch our local bus to Heraklion to make our 9am Blue ferry—but this was delayed too). Good thing we remembered to leave our keys in the room.
