    It was in a pedestrian area so quite difficult to locate whilst dragging a heavy suitcase.

    Booked in an emergency after our flight was cancelled, They were very helpful on arrival.

    The bathroom was so small that the floor was always wet.

    The location is the best in the center of Heraclion.

    Room was set up in a very odd way with beds having feet facing each other rather than next to each other like in other hotels in Europe. The hotel was incredibly loud and we were woken up multiple times throughout the night. We found the staff to be incredibly rude. We stored our bags there for the day and when we returned prior to going to the airport we asked if they could fill up our water bottles at the bar where the hotel staff were sitting. They absolutely refused and told us if we wanted water we could buy it. Seems like for what we paid the least they could do is give us some water from the sink.

    Great location with easy check-in. Shower and air conditioning worked well

    I have mobility issues. So the toilet are is very tight for me. The toilets need to face into the room and not into the sliding doors. And no toilet on the ground floor. Heraklion does not cater for people with mobility issues. All toilets are upstairs with no lifts at restaurants coffee shops all the same

    It is always very clean staff are always very welcoming and the location is perfect for us

    The Wi-Fi connection was a bit unstable. The shower is a bit troubling because there's no possibility to close it completely; therefore, the entire bathroom will get wet. Anyway, this is very common in Crete, so it would have happened everywhere.

    The location of the hotel is perfect, very easy to reach from the airport or from the central bus station. If you are sensitive to sound during the night, I would suggest asking to be placed in a room that faces the internal courtyard.

    Poor Internet. The hotel needs redecorating. Looks like from 70' last century. Inside is even a phone box. Also lack of some drink bark makes impression that this is student house rather than hotel.

    Excellent location. The hotel is situated in the city centre. Around cafes, shops and restaurant. It rather place for younger people, because on Saturday was a bit loud because of the street party. Very friendly staff, for sur I will return to El Greco hotel.

    the bathroom is very narrow, and the basin is crammed into a corner, just enough to be used by a small child. The mattress was hard. The room needs renovation. Due to traffic changes in the city, the hotel is not accessible by vehicle. You can get relatively close by vehicle and after a short walk you are at the site.

    The staff is polite. Hotels' location is central. It is an ideal spot for walks and visits to most of the city's points of interest
