Positive:
It was a comfortable and practical hotel, good value for money. Nothing fancy but served a purpose of overnight stay for an early flight out of Crete. You can find parking on the main street or the hotel has its own private parking.
Negative:
Was not there long enough to dislike my experience. Maybe if you're unlucky you'll have noisy neighbours as the walls are not sound proofed.
Summary: Convenient to the Airport

Positive:
The location, close to the Heraklion airport
Nice personnel
Good and varried breakfast
Negative:
I had higher expectations for a 4 stars hotel and for the price but I was disappointed.
-It was very hot in the room and not breathable air from my perspective. We have opened the door to the balcony to bring some air in the room. Also we had to sleep with the airconditioning on the whole night otherwise I felt suffocated
-The bathroom was not that clean
-There was theoretically shower gel in the bathroom but the recipient was empty
-No disposable slippers for the guests
