The hotel room didn't quite match the pictures online, but it was okay overall. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked well, and the bathroom was very clean. However, the street-facing window brought in a lot of noise. The service was exceptional, with polite and helpful staff going above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The location was convenient for airport proximity, but the noise level could be bothersome. The dining experience offered a sufficient, if basic, breakfast. In terms of facilities, everything was in good working order with efficient services available.

I found the hotel to be a really convenient choice for the airport stay. The rooms were basic but nice, which was fitting for a non-luxury venue. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff. The location, while great for quick airport access, was a bit noisy due to the proximity to the airport. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast surprised me positively.

The hotel was very basic, but the staff was kind enough to prepare a full-spread 'included breakfast' just for me at 04:30 in the morning. The room had everything I needed, but it was not the best value for 60 euros per night due to being old, with a broken shower and not very clean.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it convenient for travelers. The rooms were basic but had everything I needed during my stay, although cleanliness could be improved. The service was friendly and helpful, meeting my needs at all times. The location is near the airport but can be noisy due to proximity, yet it's relatively close to the center of Heraklion town. The dining options were basic but satisfactory for a quick meal. Overall, good value for money considering the proximity to the airport.
