In absolutely first class position for access to the main eating, strolling, shopping area. Also for access to hop on- hop off buses.
Breakfast was excellent, with good choices and very helpful staff. One point; I dislike cream in my tea and coffee so if small jugs could be available to get some milk, would be helpful.
Would choose this hotel again if we return to Crete

Nowadays known as the capital of the Greek island of Crete, Heraklion was once the centre of the Minoan civilisation and the port of the ancient Knossos. This stunning gem features rich history, outdoor markets and important archaeological sites.
Just 6 km from the lively Heraklion is the world-renown ruins of the Knossos palace, where according to the Greek mythology Daedalus built a labyrinth to hold the Minotaur.
Home to the 16th-century church of Agia Ekaterini, the cathedral of St. Minas, Venetian Loggia and the Archaeological Museum, this destination is much more than just a cosmopolitan city with vibrant nightlife. Do not forget to wander around the old port or visit the Venetian Walls.
Beach lovers can discover some of the most popular places of Crete like the tourist resorts of Malia and Hersonissos, the golden beach of Amoudara and the fishing village of Agia Pelagia.
The international airport of Heraklion, Nikos Kazantzakis, is the largest one in the island and the second busiest in Greece. Situated about 4 km from the city centre, it offers seasonal flights to Vienna, Barcelona, Zurich and St. Petersburg. Booking.com offers a great variety of hotels in Heraklion.
This was a much larger city than we expected. See the Fortress, must see Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum and then head out of town. We would not have made this a destination city but needed to come here because of the Port to take a ferry to our next destination.

I liked the harbour area for strolling and eating with the market areas for shopping. Knossos was a wonderful experience as was the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Give yourself two to fours hours to really see Knossos, depending on the crowds and three to four hours to see everything in the museum.

The town/city has many new buildings after WW2.
The town/city has many new buildings after WW2. There is an extensive shopping area with many restaurants and bars, the older buildings are either being replaced or renovated, but the outlying suburbs need development and some proper Town & Country planning application. The boundaries between domestic, retail, industry & commerce need greater definition.
Great potential for tourism, with areas of domestic and tourist housing showing signs of its artistic residents "flare".
⭐️💫 PERFECT 5 Star ! ! ⭐️ 💫
From the style and interior design to the location, views , linens and high quality towels and amenities. It’s an amazing place to stay and one would be so lucky to find this Casa. Everything is stunning and has the comforts better than any five star hotel and we have travelled the world. Host is a class act and helpful for anything you might need from local spots for coffee and Greek delicacies to the best restaurants locally in Heraklion. Don’t miss this location. Well worth it !
I stayed in about 100 hotels on this last trip and El Greko was one of the best. The price was terrific considering they are right bang in the middle of the walking street. How can you ask for a better location? Best in the city. The staff and front desk were very friendly, the breakfast was included and decent. The actual room was excellent when compared to the price I was charged - Crete in the middle of summer. I have a balcony overlooking the walking street. I would sit there and watch people passing by. Perfect.
The hotel room was impeccable. The complimentary water, wine , macroons, chocolates etc was a lovely and delicious surprise. The hotel staff was awesome, and breakfast was delicious. Lots of variety.
It was about 20 minutes' walk to the city center but we didn't mind the walk. Plus, the hop on hop off buses stop at the hotel. We had the executive room. Do yourself a favor and stay at this hotel. We will definitely stay here when next we visit Crete.
Maria and the staff were kind and quick to respond which we really appreciated when we got a little lost looking for the place. The home was extremely clean, spacious and in a very central location which it easy to walk around and experience Crete. We also appreciated that they left us a bottle of juice and snacks upon our arrival.
This boutique hotel is new as of May 2022 and no expense was spared. We stayed in 5 different hotels in during our visit to Greece. Everything from a 2 star to a 5 star hotel. This was by far the most comfortable place to stay. Off the beaten path but close to the port and airport. I would recommend to everyone to stay here
The hotel was great, the room was very clean and comfortable and the staff was very helpful. The hotel location was also great, a 10 minute walk to the archaeology museum and city centre, and about 5 minutes to the bus station and the port, also the bus stop to the airport is very near.
A beautiful little hotel. Excellent location, clean and modern in design. The bed was the most comfortable in the whole of Crete. Giannis was welcoming and kind. Have already recommended Domus Ariadne to some friends and highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Heraklion.
The apartment was excellent it has everything necessary for a place away from home while visiting Crete. We were greeted with sweetness to the apartment.
P.s The apartment has a view to the sleeping giant of the mountain, with a bit of a good eye you'll see it from the balcony
Very helpful staff who went over and beyond expectation to meet our needs. Location convenient to city centre. Hotel and room very clean and user friendly. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. Roof top garden area an added bonus to sit and relax.
The location was great. could walk everywhere . The staff were exceptional and very helpful. Even made me a coffee when I was at the pool. really amazing. The facilities and the pool were superb. Possibly my favourite hotel in Crete so far.
The room was comfortable and offered a good view. The location is perfect; the hotel is located near the city centre which is where you don't want to be. There are a few nice cafes including a queer-friendly bar right around the corner.
Evans Hotel was in a great location, very near to the airport and to the city centre as well. The guy at reception was super friendly and helped me a lot with finding the right bus for my next destination. Thank you a lot!!!
The hotel is fantastically located. Amazing breakfast included in rate. When we wanted to go to a beach, the girl at the lobby gave us great advice on the beach to go to and how to get there. We had an amazing time at DOM.
Spacious, clean, brand new room. Very helpful and friendly staff. Everything was perfect, really. the location is also great, few minutes walk to the bus stop. Definitely one of the best hotels we stayed in on Crete.
If I do return to Crete I would definitely try to stay at the Castello City Hotel. Facilities staff, cleanliness, position were all 10 out of 10. The cost was reasonable
Really nice place near the center of Heraklion and near the sea. Apartment is quite big and clean, convenient self check in. Good place to start discover Crete
