L'hôtel est bien situé, à quelques minutes à pieds du centre ville et offre l'accès à un parking à quelques dizaines de mètres. La chambre était propre et équipée. La salle de petit dej au 5e étage est très agréable avec une belle vue et le petit déjeuner est excellent avec beaucoup de choix. Seul défaut : l'hôtel étant en ville c'est assez bruyant, probablement mal isolé car on entend du passage dans la rue même au 4e étage. Globalement nous recommandons.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. The staff amazing, very kind and helpful. The room very clean. The breakfast very delicious. I’m sorry I didn’t ask the name of the guy from Makri Gialo, I just wanna say thank you for playing with my son while we were eating. Also I wanna say thank you to the lady that was there upstairs and being very kind and making my child laugh. Sorry for not mentioning the names but I wanna say a huge thank you to everyone and to the lady that kindly accepted to take care of our belongings while we would be taking a coffee.

It was lovely to wake to a sea view after our late flight. Unfortunately there were some youths who wanted to make a fair bit of noise, some on motorbikes, which woke me several times. Breakfast had lots of choice and was tasty. Unfortunately no lunch. Surroundings are in many places old and photogenic, the Venetian wall something special

I enjoyed the breakfast.
After that it was downhill.

There was an extremely noisy party going on of 50 teenagers plus another of 25 young adults. Slamming doors, loud laughter in the halls. Knocks on my door, pounding on the walls…
They were on all floors.

Bed is not good

Shower floods.

But mostly…
I asked three different people if I could keep excess luggage in their storage until my return on Friday from Rhodes and I was told that both Linda and I could do it with no problem.
Yet, after packing for the four days in Rhodes carefully in other cases, I was told by the clerk at the desk that 5am morning of departure,I could not.

Why was t I told before? Earlier?

It was terribly upsetting having to completely repack moments befor getting into my cab.

It's ok - it's nothing fancy, not so comfortable

It was ok for one night stay. The place feels shabbier in reality than on the pictures. The lobby had a strange odor and the bed was rather a small double bed (1.40m) and the room smaller than expected. Nevertheless, it was ok for one night stay, good location, 24 hours reception, good breakfast (much better than what we've expected), and quite clean. We paid a very good price so it was a very good value for money for this stay.

Awesome Time in Heraklion

The staff was amazing. The overall stay was amazing. I had to move rooms because of the refrigerator started to leak and the bed in the new room was not as comfortable. Only thing I would say is that I had paid for and requested sea view and the view was less than what was expected. I had a view of the wall that just over the wall was the sea. Not what I had paid for. Would absolutely stay here again though if I ever get a chance to come back!

I've booked double bed and we were sent to two single beds room, after objecting we were given the double bed room as originally booked. The room is certainly not deluxe, it was very basic and needs refurbishment. The parking was 15 min away so if you have heavy bags you'll need to take them to hotel first than park the car. The receptionist said we need to leave parking at 12pm on the check out day, though in the parking they allowed us to stay until the afternoon without extra charge.
It's Ok for a night or two but wouldn't stay here much longer.

Nice hotel with everything I needed nearby.

The hotel has a taxi station and a bus station next to it to take you anywhere in Crete (You can save and avoid renting a car)!

It has a pharmacy next door and clinic (for any emergency), the hotel itself has a restaurant and breakfast, but outside there are a lot of cafes and restaurants open late hours.

A historic monument can be seen from balconies... The top floor and restaurant has great views and the location is perfect. Very safe neighborhood (busy at times).

Great generous staff.. generous in terms of how they treated me (always kind, never rude), providing information about things to do and local customs, and being very friendly and respectful at all times.

Room was always clean and toiletries resupplied on a daily basis.

I am very satisfied and I am sure you will too if this is your first time to Heraklion or your first of many visits.

In good location, but very noisy outside

We stayed for one night at the Castello City hotel and found it was in a good location, within walking distance of the town center. It's comfortable and clean with all the basics covered. The breakfast was good with decent choice, and the breakfast lounge had a nice view overlooking the town. The WIFI was free, but had to be used in the breakfast room as it wasn't very good signal in the room we had.

However, the main issues were the bed was ridiculously hard, like sleeping on a wooden board, and the pillow was very thin like paper, even thinner than my balding hair. In addition, the noise from the street outside was very intrusive, with loud mopeds going past. So wasn't a particularly good night's sleep.

Avoid the courtyard rooms

I stayed in a courtyard room. The first room I got had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. After appealing to the reception I was immediately given another room. It had no smell but left an unpleasant impression.
The room was not very clean, there was some kind of mold on one wall that was painted over. There was not enough daylight due to courtyard location.
The main disadvantage was air conditioning and ventilation.
The courtyard is extremely small and therefore it works as a one big air duct for some kind of open kitchen located on the ground floor (maybe not a kitchen but the smell strongly resembles one). All the air conditioning units are also situated there, on the balconies, which makes the air in the yard always hot. I was totally unable to air the room with this hot smelly air outside. Also, the conditioning fans produce strong noise so that it's hard to keep the balcony open.

The air conditioner left a really bad smell in the air. It definitely needs a filter replacement. Moreover, its flow was aimed directly onto the bed, so one can not sleep with it turned on.

After such an unpleasant impression I asked for a room upgrade. Unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked at the moment, but in two days I moved into dramatically better room with city view (for an extra fee, of course).

The only reason why I've booked a courtyard room was to avoid noise from the busy streets. But in turned out that it's not a problem at all since the balcony doors are 100% soundproof.

Cost effective business trip to Heraklion, Crete.

Perfect cost saving business trip. Room small, but very clean with all essentials. Air conditioner great. Bathroom small, but all you need. Wet-soap-rinse in the shower got the job done. Breakfast buffet: a full, healthy breakfast and lots of great coffee. Piece of fresh fruit from breakfast made a perfect lunch. Light, healthy, inexpensive dinner kept trip cost and waistline in check. Free parking garage eliminates the chance of scratch damage. Garage is 1.5 blocks from hotel. Parking anywhere in Heraklion a pain and expensive. Damage to parked rental vehicle runs up your trip cost fast. Wi Fi fast and reliable. Laundry service fast and value priced--a huge savings over other hotels and huge convenience. The top floor terrace served as my office with a great view of the sea—bar for drinks and a good lunch and dinner are served. The staff at the hotel is superb--just can't say enough about the great folks at this hotel. Hotel a short walk from city center and museum. Relaxing to watch people and have good food. Lots of shopping. Some hotel noises that did not bother me. I needed to cut costs on a two-week business trip to Heraklion, Crete, and the Hotel Castello allowed that to happen. I will definitely go back for the price--and especially for the staff-- all made me feel right at home and very welcome. Their larger, nicer rooms can be a bargain too. Thanks Hotel Castello for meeting all my needs. See you next trip.

Buffet breakfast was included with our booking and provided some excellent choices. City bus service stops across the street and provides access to anywhere in the city.

Good for a short stay

Our family went on vacation to Crete, and we decided we'd take a short trip to Iraklion and therefore needed some place to stay. The Castello City Hotel was close to the city center, just outside the old city wall - we were just about 10 minutes walk away from the places we wanted to go (15 minutes or so from the archaeological museum).
The room was clean and in good shape, not too worn down. The fridge didn't work, and the tub/shower faucet decided it would send wated out both exits at once - there weren't important issues for us so we only noticed it late in our short stay and reported it when we checked out to leave.
Since we were 4 in our room, the hotel had put in an extra bad - the mattress was so thin and hard that our youngest child had problems sleeping in it.

Despite these fairly minor issues, we'd not hesitate to book here again next time we need a hotel in Iraklio if it's just for a few days. If we're staying for 1-2 weeks we'll probably look elsewhere.

Goof enough for a one night stay

It is certainly not a 3 star hotel
My bathroom was extremely small just enough space to accommodate a very small shower area

Nice choice for pre-cruise

We booked this hotel for a night before departing on a cruise. Although not exactly in the center, the location was easy walking distance to all the places a person needs to see in Heraklion. The roof-top restaurant and bar provides a great view, and the property is just across the street from a bus stop, so you can avoid the more expensive taxis.

Bad bathroom

Comfy rooms, nice breakfast and friendly staff. My problem was the bathroom. The tiniest shower I couldn't even turn around in. Awful shower curtain that sticks to you-it's that small and leaves the bathroom soaking.

Overall excellent experience and quite centrally located. I would recommend and I would stay there again! Wi-fi service quite fast which for working travellers is often a must.

Nice view and small lift

Basically, I like this hotel. The nice location, good view from the roof bar. I found the smallest lift for all of my life. (For 3persons maximum)
