I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect, just a short walk from the city center, which made exploring so convenient. The hotel itself was very comfortable, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating.
One thing I’d like to note, though not as a criticism of the hotel or staff, is that the room didn’t come with slippers, and they don’t provide a shaving kit or dental kit. This was a bit surprising to me, but it’s more of a heads-up for future guests—make sure to pack these items for your own comfort! For instance, we didn’t think to bring slippers with us.
Despite this, my overall experience at the hotel was excellent, and I’d definitely recommend it to others!

The staff at reception were extremely helpful and pleasant, I rate them as excellent. We arrived late in the evening and entering instructions were great, Our room was smelling a bit foul and I sent them a message through booking. They immediately came to the hotel and gave us a different room. The beds were comfortable.

Heraklio is worth the stay to see Knossos and the Archeological Museum. The walk out to the light house is charming. We were there in December, off tourist season, which is perfect for us - not to hot and not too packed with visitors. There was still plenty of restaurants open.

Can't miss for travellers interested in greece history / culture. the premiere museum for minoan artifacts and the site of knossos is an easy 20mins bus ride away.
easy sightseeing of the town itself in a day : town center with churches, venetian fountain / loggia, a quiet walk away from crowds along the city walls, a scenic jog /walk along the long harbour breakwater to see the fortress, marina.

We took a taxi from the airport and a local bus to Knossos but otherwise everything was easily accessible on foot. There are a range of shops from ordinary supermarkets to tourist stuff to up-market. The ice-creams were everywhere!
The town is nice but the authorities could make much more of it: we went past a huge park which was closed to the public, the Old Town is surrounded with a bastion, but no obvious access to the top of the walls. The city map we picked up is completely useless to a tourist.

Heraklio is a great location to visit several key historical sites e.g. Knossos Palace and museums. It is also a great location to stay and serve as a base location for day trips to other villages/towns within Crete or even other islands.

The hotel staff I interacted with (from more than one hotel) were all super friendly and helpful. Heraklion is a lovely little town however the cab drivers are all shifty sharks that charge you whatever they think they can get away with. Actually, there were a couple of cab drivers that were OK but most of them ripped me off

The most lovely part of my trip to Greece was staying here. The staff were super friendly and helpful (and funny!) and the hotel is just beautiful. Getting to stay in Domus Ariadne in Crete feels like a dream come true. The hotel is small but perfect, and has a beautiful artistic history. Even the rooms are named after different colours! The location is very good, just a few steps from the port, and it's around the corner from the incredible Archaeological Museum. I look forward to visiting again, it was just a lovely place to be.
The hotel is located in a great location, right in the heart of the city. There is a bus station nearby that will take you directly to other cities of Crete. The accommodation was clean and pleasant. The rooms are quite spacious. A minor minus was the very soft mattress, but it's only a small thing. There was a beautiful Greek atmosphere here and we will definitely always be happy to come back. I always come here to Stalida. What takes breakfasts - super tasty and very vaious.
Very nice hotel in a convenient location. Extremely kind and helpful staff. There is a parking nearby (10€/day) or another one for free by the harbour. The city centre is less than 10 mins away walking. Clean and spacious room, with fridge and AC. Rich breakfast at the last floor with a beautiful view of the harbour. Recommended!
