The lobby and breakfast bar area was nice as well as the pool. The rooms need a major overhaul as they have old ceilings walls and decor. The bathrooms were old and had grout and old tile swere dingy and showers were like capsules. The balconies overlooked an old roof area and had some trash outside. This place had potential but the old rooms ruined it for me.

Before booking, carefully consider the price. The hotel interior is from year 2000, including a kettle that is absolutely useless because there is no bottled water, no tea or coffee etc. The old fridge is not perfectly clean and is also empty. Curtains allow 90% of the light through. The shower reminds the one on a ferry: one can only stand still there, behind the semi-cirled curtain and not move. Shower gel+shampoo/soap is 2 in 1. Air conditioning is ok. Breakfast - there is something very basic and shady looking, but not more. No inside car parking, you park on the street if there is space. Again, carefully consider the price of stay.

Close to the beach & the airport Karteros Hotel is in a great location. It is also 20 mins by bus from the port.

WiFi is good, the room is large with lots of plug ports & a good sized bathroom.

Breakfast had a wide selection of fruit, salad, hot items, pastries, fruit juice, hot drinks & more.

The pool is large but not heated so can be chilly.

A lovely one night stay.

Convenient hotel close to Heraklion Airport

Very welcoming hotel about 5-10 minutes from Heraklion Airport. As our flight arrived around midnight we were very pleased to arrive at the hotel and were warmly received by at the hotel. We were able to enjoy a drink outside on the terrace. Hotel had nice facilities garden, terrace and swimming pool (didn’t use as one night stay). Our room was okay with TV and WiFi. A balcony but not much of a view (looked like there were better rooms as only an overnight stay didn’t bother us). Breakfast okay I particularly enjoyed the fruit. Hotel is very useful for the airport and there is a bus stop outside for Heraklion. Beaches are an easy walk.

Great location near the Heraklion airport and walking distance to public beaches, restaurants, supermarkets, and bakery. We stayed at the hotel for 3 weeks and used it as a base to discover the island of Crete. The views of the sea and the orientation of the building provide for beautiful viewing of sunrises and sunsets. The sight of the planes landing and taking off every few minutes at the Heraklion airport is a memorable experiance by itself.The pool is outstanding, the breakfast is homemade and exceptional. The premises are very clean and parking is ample by the hotel. Airline personnel are using the hotel as a layover between flights. Great wifi throughout the hotel. The staff are courteous, friendly, and provide customer oriented experience. We will definitely stay at the hotel again in future visits to the island.

About 6kms from city centre, no attractions nearby. Bus stop to go to Heraklion centre is opposite the property. Breakfast is provided, but no restaurant thereafter. There's only a small family run restaurant nearby for dinner. Front desk staff are not very helpful in planning local sightseeing, but they are very courteous in guiding and arranging taxis. Breakfast is good. Room is fairly spacious and clean. Close to the airport, needs only 10-15 minutes to reach.

Close to the Market which opens at 6am.
Very close to the airport!
Great view from the balcony to the beach!

Also close to the motorway!
Anemos restaurant was nearby, about a 7 minute walk.
And car rental location or dune buggys for rent also nearby!
Totally awesome stay at this hotel.

We booked this for an overnight due to closeness to airport but also due to pool. Unfortunately the pool was unclean and green with slime, there were several people all wanting to use the pool, however it wasn’t possible. Also no pool towels provided which is poor. Limited dining options in the area. It’s not hard to clean their pool which is the main attraction.

Staff very nice, architecture was something special, good pool and overall a nice place to stay. It’s a rather small community and the hotel is on a main artery which has dining options within a 5 to 7 minute walk. The hotel itself has a breakfast bar but doesn’t serve other meals. The beach nearby is nice, we went to the Cicada Beach Bar for refreshments and a wonderful beach day.

L'hôtel est agréable, le personnel très attentionné et le petit déjeuner copieux et varié. Jolie piscine dans un bel aménagement..
Bien qu'il soit situé près de l'aéroport, on n'est pas dérangé par le bruit des avions car l'isolation extérieure est efficace. L'isolation intérieure l'est un peu moins. C'est un hôtel où séjourne fréquemment le personnel des équipages aériens qui est parfois bruyant lorsqu'il quitte l'établissement tôt le matin.
Il est recommandé d'avoir une voiture de location pour être autonome car les bus pour Héraklion, qui circulent et s'arrêtent à l'arrêt à côté de l'hôtel ne sont pas ponctuels.
Il n'y a pas de parking. Les voitures stationnent dans la rue.
La mer est à 7 minutes de l'hôtel environ et la plage est très vaste.
Le quartier autour de l'hôtel n'est pas intéressant. L'hôtel est situé entre deux routes. Toutefois, il y a de quoi se restaurer. Une mention spéciale au restaurant Tsigeli.
Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de ce séjour d'une semaine à l'hôtel Karteros.
