Remembering this is a 2 star hotel, nevertheless the rooms are clean and comfortable and air conditioned. The hospitality and friendliness is perfect (you are not just a room number, you are a person with a name). Its location is perfect, just a bit away from the main road yet just a 5 minute leisurely stroll from the sandy beaches (served by bars and restaurants), restaurants and convenience stores for all ones needs. After a long day at work I could enjoy a drink on the balcony in the afternoon sun rays, or by the pool. From the main road a regular bus service can take you to the centre of Heraklion. If you are holidaying you will not need a car.

This is a family run hotel...all the staff I met were pleasant, friendly & welcoming. The hotel has a lovely pool area, with plenty of chairs / sunbeds & a comfortable dining / lounge area. The bedrooms are 'rustic' in style and include free air-conditioning, free wi-fi, a safe (fee payable), a private bathroom, comfortable bed, kitchen area with sink / fridge / table, wardrobe & a small terrace with outdoor seating & airer. The location is perfect - close to the beach (10-15 mins walk), shops (5-10 mins walk), bars / restaurants (5-10 mins walk) & bus service (5 mins walk).

The Shower - The shower handle has no hook/ holder...the shower curtain is attached by swinging rods, which has the effect of closing off a corner of the shower base as the rods are too short, therefore the curtain then sticks to you...if you try to move the curtain, it soaks the bathroom floor. Cleaning of the room (inc emptying the toilet bin) is only every 4 days.

Hotel is located in a perfect place: away from noise and city rush, yet close to very nice beaches and all services like bars and restaurants or shops. The breakfast was basic, but enough to kick off the day. Very nice pool, well maintained yard plus very helpful staff. We liked the stay - it perfectly met our needs.

The shower is small, and the shower curtain doesn't allow for comfort during the showering. There could be more variety of offerings for breakfast. None of these doesn't spoil the place by any means. We loved the stay.

The staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient. Great care had been taken to make sure that our arrival at a quite anti-social hour was trouble-free and smoothly achieved. An excellent breakfast was freshly prepared and presented in a very pleasant dining area. The genuine welcome and hospitality we received - and it was only for a brief late-night stopover en route to our destination - easily equalled and indeed surpassed our expectation, and certainly would ensure that we shall be happy to return in the future. Well done to all at the Arhodiko hotel, and many thanks for everything!

It was all fine.

Staff very friendly and helpful (booked a taxi for us, good advice for restaurants). The hotel is comfortable, clean and practical. Small scale, feel good, nice pool, flowers. A friendly and lovely place. The situation is interesting if you go or arrive at the airport (15 minutes drive, connection by bus).

It is located in the surroundings of Heraklion, close to the harbour and the industrial zone. A lot of Resorts and hotels nearby, not really a charismatic location.

I liked the location, excellent space, super comfortable bed, super powerful air conditioning. Kind people and always ready to help, family hotel and I will definitely return next vacation with my children.

I don't have any complaints, I liked the place.

Good location, easily reachable to go to the airport next morning. Personnel prepared sandwiches for us because we had to leave early (+). Touristic area (beach, taverns) nearby, unexpectedly. Very nice swimming pool. Spatious room for 4 persons, good bed/matras.

Airco had some difficulties to counter the exceptional heatwave.

Just returned form a lovely short break at Arhodiko Room was lovely, pool was quiet. Staff could not have been more helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. We’ll be back.

The guys that run this hotel are absolutely amazing, it's clean , excellent value its beside easy access to shops (5mins) beside beach (10_15mins , easy bus route (10 mins , restaurants close (5mins , this hotel is brilliant 👏

A lovely small family-run hotel, very chilled if you want to avoid the crowds. I found it to be exceptional value for money and incredibly friendly. Hotel manager Manolis went above and beyond with his customer service. The location is slightly beyond the main drag but that was perfect for us. The small hotel pool was a great bonus for us. Highly recommend.
