I loved the common areas. They were spacious, friendly and nicely decorated. The cafe/bar area with view to the see, the calm patio and the swimming pool in the terrace with 360 view of the city and the sea felt peace and quiet.
The room was very comfortable and impeccably clean. The free water in the room and the coffee were very welcome.
Everybody was super polite and discrete.
The breakfast was fabulous ! A large variety of local dishes. I really enjoyed the fruits. The coffee was excellent.

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.
Heraklio is a great place to visit!. We stayed for over a month and were never bored. There is a very extensive pedestrian area with a huge variety of shops, places of cultural interest, restaurants and snack bars. The local cuisine is reasonably priced. The city is very busy with locals and tourists mixing in the pedestrian areas.
Heraklio is a great base for visiting the rest of the island as most of the major urban areas are also on the north coast. There are very efficient local and regional bus services and of course car and moped hire.
For those interested in history and culture Heraklio is the place to visit. I do recommend reading up on the incredible history of the island before visiting as this will help the visitor better understand the context of what they are visiting.
We visited in March to April and combined a city holiday with a beach holiday. There are two very long beaches very near the city centre.
Almost everyone we met spoke very good English so we never really got to use any of the little Greek we learned before travelling. In one month we never used any cash as all business take electronic payment per mobile phone, credit cards etc.

It's a nice town with a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants etc etc. People were nice. It has a spider-like outlay and you could easily get lost. GPS was not working well. I ended up searching half an hour for my hotel.

Liked the fact there were lots of places to visit in the town. It’s a mix of old and new and full of places to eat. Bus service is good and not expensive but taxis are expensive to visit around the island. People are friendly and most are able to speak some English but be aware all signs are in Greek so when trying to find your way walking it can be a bit confusing if you don’t speak the language. But that’s part of the fun of the holiday.

Seeing the Palace of Knossos and then the Archeology Museum was a highlight! So much history and so interesting. This is where the Minotaur lived and the site of the Labyrinth, as well as the pre-Greek ancient Minoans. On top of this, inside the Venetian walls are a maze of fun streets with shops and restaurants, all walkable. Good food and fun. So very much worth going to Heraklion! Plus an easy peasy airport is very close nearby.

Heraklio is a city that contrives to hide its treasures.
Heraklio is a city that contrives to hide its treasures. At first, we were a little put off by the mix of architecture and the labyrinthine streets and alleys, but after a while, it all became known and comfortable. The museums are very good: the Archeo. obviously, but the Museum of Cretan History is lovely and has a pleasant terrace to enjoy coffee. The standout museum for us was the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, which is thoughtfully curated and with kind and friendly staff.

I love Heraklion - I have visited many times and will continue doing so. There’s always something I wish I had more time to visit. During the day there’s so many nearby beaches to spend the day or historical sights to visit. There’s always great venues at night, countless clubs and bars and the restaurants are amazing, even just taking a stroll through the streets is fun.
Heraklion Museum, Knossos and a walk to the port is a must for every visitor!
This hotel is a gem. It is not a beach hotel, but is located very convienently for a visit to Heraklion and departure by ferry. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The breakfast is varied, with regional items to make you feel you are really in Greece, but specifically on the Island of Crete. The room I was assigned surprised me and really went beyond what I was expected. I have stayed in this hotel now for the fourth time and every time it gets better and better.
The room was very clean and very efficiently organised. Staff were very kind and greatly helped my activities in Heraklion.
The location is very close to the sea. I love walking along the sea, so it was great for me. I saw beautiful sunset everyday just near the hotel.
The area is rather quiet, compared to the centre of the town, yet it is very easy to access most of the sightseeing places. I liked this quiet environment very much.
The location was very good, near the city center (old city) with many restaurants. If you are returning during the night, remember that the supermarkets near the hotel are closing early ( 10pm, if not mistaken). The room is small, but just enough for 2 persons. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the breakfast amazing with many choises- the best breakfast in a hotel, during our trip in Crete this year.
Location is excellent if you are using the port. Buses to the airport and out to Knossos are near by. Very shirt walk into the centre.
Friendly and helpful reception staff.
Good breakfast which sets you up for the day. We had an early morning ferry and could opt for an early breakfast.
Modern feel to the hotel. Quiet location.
Small pastries were in reception when we arrived.
The room was Amazing!!!!really clean and tidy!!
Bathroom was perfect,it's a new hotel that gives everything that you need
Welcome drinks and coffee, extremely friendly staff
Netflix on TV and wifi easy access,parking right outside
Near city centre and port
I will totally recommend the place
I stayed 2 nights and I will sure come back again!!
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
I stayed in this very nice and modern hotel during a short visit to Heraklion. The location is great, right in the centre. My room was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. I can also recommend the SPA where I had an exceptionally good massage by Georgina.
We stay here every year when arriving in Crete, the hotel is very well situated, overlooking the harbour)(amazing views from the breakfast room) close to the centre.
Inside parking possible close to the hotel.
Rooms are clean and simple, noise isolation is very good.
Truly very impressed with this ‘airport’ hotel. All amenities were available and it offered a really nice stay for our last night in Crete. Airport is <5min by car and the hotel offers safe onsite parking, nice breakfast, and even a Raki welcome drink. Stay here!
Location is perfect! Very close to the city centre.
It was nice to have a small balcony.
It was quiet at night.
Possibility to check out very early was one of the main reasons to choose Mirabello Hotel for 1 night.
Good value of money.
the layout of the room was very well organized.
Breakfast was lovely.
the front desk staff for both check in & out were very professional, courteous, and absolutely lovely. 5 stars!
cleanliness of the hotel & room was great.
We arrived late in Crete so needed a hotel close to the airport just for a quick stopover. The hotel is so nice and modern and we were able to check in really late so overall was a great experience for us!!
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.
the front desk staff were fantastic. super helpful and great recommendations, from arranging airport transportation to restaurant connections - they made it a 5 star review
