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

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay there and could see the city and the sea from our balcony and the sunsets there were just gorgeous and they were close to many restaurants, shops, the ferry port, and other things to see and do.

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".

This is good for a weekend trip, but if you are staying longer hire a car and tour, landing here and returning via Chana. We took out the extra insurance via Booking.com, very wise because the vehicle was hit by a driver while parked, who drove off. Due to the state of the roads and the increased traffic this is common, there was another couple in the hire office that had also been hit while parked. Standards of driving in Greece are poor. Booking.com paid out within 24 hours of the claim. This was a return visit to Crete after 20 years. The nation is in steep decline with appalling infrastructure and an unhappy population. We will not return.
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 DOM boutique is located in a perfect location of Heraklion centre. Just few seconds walk and you will find a supermarket, lot of restaurants and cafes. It's all that you need. The hotel itself is highly maintained and the employees are the best part. They are very helpful and kind people. The breakfast buffet is also very interesting and scrumptious. One of the best hotel I have stayed so far.
Helen was an amazing host. She was available at all times and ensured we were able to check in without issue. She offered to call a taxi for me which was very helpful. The place is on point for the price. haves everything you need and is super CLEAN. if I come back to Crete I will again use this as an airport staging hotel. Thank you Helen.
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 front desk staff were extremely helpful! They helped me figure out transportation around Crete and the woman at the front desk also helped me call a taxi. The front desk also watched my luggage for quite a few hours after I had checked out and made sure everything stayed safe!
Convenient location within walking distance of most sites in the centre. Staff were friendly. Convenient free parking arrangements with a parking station in the port area about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Room was comfortable and the breakfast was quite good.
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.
The best accommodation during our trip in Crete. Very clean and stylish place, nice hosts making every effort to welcome you. Also, very useful tips for restaurants and Crete in general.
Excellent location and a great room at a very reasonable price. The staff was very friendly and helped tremendously with things to do in Crete. We hope to return someday!
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
