City Lion by Semavi

Heralkio City Centre, Heraklio Town - 1.1 miles from beach

Ideally located in the Heralkio City Centre district of Heraklio Town, City Lion by Semavi is set 600 metres from Heraklion Archaeological Museum, less than 1 km from Venetian Walls and 7.3 km from The Palace of Knossos. Among the facilities at this property are a lift and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is 200 metres from the city centre and 2.1 km from Amoudara Beach. In all seriousness this was possibly the nicest room I've ever stayed in, and absolutely deserves the 9.8 average score it currently has. The experience was great from the moment we stepped through the main entrance, with the staff greeting us politely and taking us to our room - even the journey up was a pleasant one, with an unusually pretty elevator and corridors! And the room itself was amazing, beautifully designed, extremely comfortable and full of uncommon gadgets. We were in love with it, and depressed when we had to leave!
