This was a great place to stay for an early flight. Yes, it is noisy with the planes flying overhead, but I don't think that you can get away from this unless you stay really far away. The food was great, and the location was ideal. I chose not to walk with my suitcases, & the public transit was 1.20 euros with a 5 minute bus ride.

The location was in the heart of the city - very busy - (I only say this because we stayed in a very quiet relaxed area of Crete) so this was very busy for us. Please Note: that there is NO PARKING, it's very limited - But the hotel is Ideal if you need to get to the airport.

We stayed (one) night, and it provided us with everything that we needed. Would highly recommend.

Property is clean but bathroom are old and floor tiles are dark looking like not properly clean . .but in general is good for the Price that you pay for . Only complaint is that description in Expedia said : ..”parking available a rare perk in the area “.. this is not accurate . There is not parking .. the front desk said “you can park anywhere in the street” , yes of course like any where in this world ..! But is very busy area and you will not found any easy spot . We book this hotel for the only reason to be close to the airport in a fly early next day and because we rent a car … and we get busted for the inaccuracy of information Be aware that the place is to noise for the airport aviation all the time .!
But to be fair , hotel is not bad . And the area you will find some good restaurants and bars and is not a tourist area .!

Our stay at the Asterion Hotel was short (about 12 hours) but comfortable. The front desk staff were gracious and accommodating to our needs. A special shout out to Stelios, who prepared an awesome continental breakfast for us since we had to leave so early (0430). We scrambled to make our flight so having some good food in us was greatly appreciated. THANKS STELIOS!!!! We look forward to our next trip to Crete and chance to stay at the Asterion.

Good all rounder

arrived after midnight from the airport which is just up the road. Easy check in and after using the lift to take the luggage to the room, we had an ouzo out front of the hotel. Staff provided free of charge a plate of cold meats and cheeses. Not bad at 1am. room was ok for the night but wouldn't want a week there. Comfortable but a little cramped in the room and the ensuite shower/toilet. Breakfast included ( mostly Continental) . we went down late and the hot offer was now somewhat cool. Enough to get the day started. We have used this hotel several times each occasion we fly to Crete because of its nearness to the airport, a reasonable price for 2 people, breakfast included, good service and a faairly good bed for the night. So, yes , i recommend it.

I’m rating this property on the basis of its price point. And on that basis, I cannot fault it. I needed an overnight stay close to the airport and, given all I wanted was a sleep-over, didn’t want to pay a small fortune.
The hotel advertising is true to its word. It is no more than a 20 min walk from the airport & easy to find. There is a plentiful supply of restaurants, bars and shops on the doorstep. The room itself is basic, but completely functional, with a small bathroom & balcony. There was also a fridge. The room was clean and tidy. The TV worked. I found the bed comfortable and got a good sleep. The air conditioning looked new and worked well.
The staff were all extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. I was given great recommendations for an evening meal and coffee in the morning. For a cost-effective overnight stay for or from the airport, I doubt the Asterion could be bettered. I would happily stay again.

Friendly near to airport accomodation

Late night flight arrival and a quick taxi ride to the hotel. Just a one night stay. Has a small elevator big enough for one person with suitcases. Very friendly reception . Clean room with 2 single beds. Small balcony overlooking the street. Noise not a problem. Beds a bit hard. Small shower but more than adequate. Plenty of hot water. Nice lobby area and comfortable seats outside in addition. Lots of facilities close by-- shops, cafes, petrol. On the main road from the airport down to the centre and port area. Decent continental breakfast with wide assortment included with price. Overall, good value and just right for a night or two. Also the road outside has a good bus service from Herakleion centre to the airport. Would certainly stay there again.

Less then what was prommised

The hotel in general is in less then perfect condition, which reflects in the price, but still would expect a better experience. The AC was on all night set to 16 but barely cooled the room. The WiFi reception was weak and the room smelt of cigarettes even though it was supposed to be non smoking. Really woke up tired in the morning.

On the positive side it is really close to the airport.

I stayed only one day in the hotel because I had to take a flight very early. The room was clean and the air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was small, but that is ok for a short stay. There are many supermarkets, restaurants, and shops in the neighborhood. It is possible to reach the airport by walking nearly 20min (I did it with luggage). I think this hotel was a good choice for the price.
Other guests should only be aware of the noise of the flights arriving and leaving at late and early hours because this may disturb some persons (but that was not a problem for me).

Recommandation hôtel

En arrivant à l’aéroport d’Heraklion je me suis dirigée vers l’hôtel à 22h30, il est à proximité de l’aéroport. Très bien accueillis à la réception. J’ai demandé pour des déjeuners le lendemain matin et là surprise la personne m’a dit que c’était compris dans le prix. La chambre est spacieuse, avec Clim, il y a un séchoir à cheveux.Le petit déjeuner est très copieux. J’y reviendrai à la prochaine occasion et je recommande vivement.
