Great Historic Hotel in Heraklion, Crete

This hotel is nicely located, has an excellent breakfast, a workout room and wonderful help at reception. Effie especially was so knowledgeable and friendly! You can walk to a pedestrian street of shops and restaurants which is convenient.

Very nice stay!

Very nice hotel near the Port and walking distance to the old city. The staff were very professional, courteous, and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were well-appointed, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I plan to stay here again when I next visit Crete!

A luxurious hotel right at the port. Heraklion itself is not that great as a destination (though the museum is good), but the Megaron is the best place to stay if you come into the port.

Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Five-Star Rating

My family and I stayed at this hotel over the Easter holiday, booking three rooms for four nights. Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to the expectations set by the glowing reviews we had read beforehand.
One of the biggest disappointments was the breakfast. Many reviews mentioned how good it was, but in reality, it was very poor. The dining area was small, crowded, and lacked variety. It was far from what you’d expect from a hotel rated five stars.
Overall, the hotel feels more like a three-star property. The facilities, cleanliness, and general atmosphere did not justify the high price we paid. In fact, we later found that we could have stayed at other truly five-star hotels nearby—for a lower cost and with significantly better service, food, and amenities.
Sadly, this stay did not meet our expectations, and we wouldn't choose this hotel again. I hope this review helps others make a more informed decision.

We have noticed that we have received two reviews that are very similar in content, with only slight variations in wording.
Given the strong similarities between these reviews, it appears they may have originated from the same source. This is unusual and raises concerns about the authenticity and validity of these reviews as independent feedback.
We take the integrity of our reviews seriously, and we question the legitimacy of these particular submissions.
We want to be clear that we honor the expression of free opinion, provided it does not violate our freedom or the freedom of others.In this instance, the apparent duplication of reviews raises questions about whether these submissions represent genuine, independent opinions.
Furthermore, the unusual nature of these submissions, particularly their seemingly coordinated appearance, suggests there might be an underlying motive .
Many thanks for your attention
