The hotel is approximately 15 mins away fron the city centre on a very busy street. The rooms were very nice and clean, the personnel was extremely kind and helpful and breakfast was really good. Overall it was great to stay here
The hotel is located on a very busy street, which means that at every hour of the day there is noise coming from outside, thus it is not recommended to sleep with the windows open. While the room was fairly spacious, the bathroom was quite tight with just enough space to move. Finally, I had booked this hotel also because it offers some parking spots: the parking area is on the main street, opposite the hotel, which makes it a bit complicated, once you reach the hotel, to u-turn and park in tranquillity.

We stayed in room number 310 for 3 nights.The room itself was adequate for our needs and the beds were comfortable.The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the bus station, which is useful to ourselves.Katerina, and Miltos, the reception staff were great,as usual,as we had stayed here before.So all in all a good stayover in our 3week vacation.
We were obliged to report a broken toilet seat which was not able to be repaired during our stay, but were offered a different room, to move to, which we declined because of our length of stay! The outside table/chairs were uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time.And the room was very close to the neon hotel sign which lit the room up all night unless we pulled the shutters down.But because of the outside heat, we don't like to do!

The room is perfect for solo travellers and couples. The room is clean and comfortable. The balcony view was great. We can enjoy the view of the buzzling streets. Located closer to the Heraklion port - Walkable distance from the hotel. You can reach other attractions also by foot - Historical museum of Crete, Fortress near the port and the port. You can reach Palace of Knossos through bus. The hotel is not located in the city centre. But it was closer to all attractions (quoted earlier) that i opted for. You can just go to the port, see the magnificent ships and ferries, explore the restaurants closer to the sea side etc.
Nothing to say.

Location was conveniently close on foot to the city center and easy to reach from the airport. The lounge where you have breakfast is very nice. Good value for money overall.
The hotel was a bit noisy, so I could not sleep so well. The room and bathroom floors should have been cleaned a bit better.

Location is perfect for exploring Heraklion, close to restaurants, shopping, museums and the Venetian wall. Close to the port. (15 -20 min walk) The staff is amazing! Helpful with directions, printing off my ferry tickets. Our first day, our clocks didn't reset so we missed breakfast but they quickly pulled coffee, juice and croissants for us, The next morning we were leaving early for the ferry and again offered us coffee and sweet breads. Very kind and helpful staff. The rooms are pretty basic BUT very clean. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a balcony to sit on.

The hotel was lovely and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was great. I liked not being in the center, but it was a short enjoyable walk to the center. Also short walk to the bus station (took from the airport), port and it is close to other restaurants as well. The room had a balcony, which was lovely.
The location was quiet though in in the morning I did hear the world and hotel waking up.

We really liked our stay at the Athinaiko Hotel. The break fast was very good with a lot of different choices, cold and hot. The bed was comfortable, the WIFi was good. The location was close to the port and to the old town. Nice and clean.
The parking was not very easy to find, just off the street. The breakfast was starting at 7:30am which was too late if we wanted to be on time for a ferry in the port leaving to another island.

Good value for money. Air con (badly needed even at the end of September!) v efficient. Breakfast much better than I had expected. Friendly staff, especially at check-in. Great hotel to stay in for a city break - the centre of town is just a 15 minute stroll away.
The hotel is situated on a main road; however, the air con worked well so no need to open windows. The windows are double-glazed so noise is not much of an issue. However, if you're noise-sensitive it might be a good idea to ask for a room facing away from the road.

- good location (cca 15 minute walk to center) with grocery stores and restaurants nearby - spacious comfortable and clean room with A/C, fridge, TV and nice bathroom - simple, but good breakfast
- there is not designated parking lot, but it is possible to park along the road so you need to have a bit of luck to find a good spot - wifi did not work very great, but it was sufficient to check emails or look for some info regarding trips - hotel is right next to the main road so it can be a bit noisy during the night
