Centro Vero Suites by Omilos Hotels
8.1 (34 reviews)

Centro Vero Suites by Omilos Hotels ★★★

📍 Agiou Titou 16, Heraklion

"I felt that it was important to write this lengthy review regarding our stay on October 11, 2025, at Centro Vero Suites by Omilos Hotels (Heraklion, Crete) in order to ensure that other travellers do not fall into the same trap as us! The advertising photos on multiple websites do not accurately reflect the room (Junior Suite) that we booked. The room we stayed in for only one night (of a 7-night booking) required a full refresh and thorough cleaning. The sofa was full of stains and was wet—it needed a heavy duty cleaning or replacement. The kitchen lacked some essentials (e.g. dishes, utensils, clean dish towel/scrubber, dishwasher cleaner, etc.). Some utensils were dirty and had dried-on food. The pictures are very deceptive for those looking forward to a nice room with a “private outdoor hot tub”. When we arrived, the tub was not filled and there was no instructions on how to use. It was very difficult to sleep because of the street noise and ringing bells from the church across the street (even with the windows closed and locked). The windows had absolutely no sound proofing. There is no parking at the hotel. Parking costs in the area ranged from 10 to 20 euros/day. We requested parking in advance but when we arrived there was no space available in the parking area used by the hotel. Since there is no front desk at Centro Vero Suites in Heraklion, the check-in was not straight forward for us. Thankfully, a lady in the restaurant next door made contact with hotel personnel. We tried to reach the hotel the day prior to our check-in through emails and telephone calls several times, but could not reach anyone. Our reservation voucher stated, “Guests will receive an email 48 hours before arrival with check-in instructions.” We did not receive any email. The morning we checked out, the elevator was out of order and we had to take our luggage down 3 flights of stairs. The hotel clerk offered us another room somewhere else in the city. We, however, declined because we feared that we would get caught up into another deceptive offer. This hotel was booked for us by our travel agent through *******. After we spent several days during our vacation communicating through WhatsApp with hotel staff, they advised that they would not provide a refund because the cancellation policy on our ******* voucher was not the cancellation policy of Centro Vero Suites and that we should contact our travel agent. We do not understand why the cancellation policy on our ******* voucher was different from the hotel. Our travel agent contacted ******* and they did not provide any compensation or any explanation for the differences in policies. The hotel did not meet the value we expected for the high price we paid. We do not recommend this place!!"

El Greco Hotel
7.8 (74 reviews)

El Greco Hotel ★★

📍 Odos 1821 4, Heraklion

"Excellent location and service. Only downside is that the showering area in the toilet is too small such that i left the door open to bathe. Window lock is broken too. Besides these, i had a good stay."

9.2 (119 reviews)

Galaxy Iraklio Hotel ★★★★★

📍 Leof. Dimokratias 75, Heraklion

"The location of the hotel is a bit weak, but the facilities are very good and the service staff are friendly."

Chapter 02 Gallery Suites Hotels in Heraklion

Chapter 02 Gallery Suites

"The accommodation was clean, and one night was more than enough time to easily get to the airport. However, the noise from the music in the evening was the only downside, making it impossible to sleep before midnight with a child."

Nesean Plaza Hotel Hotels in Heraklion

Nesean Plaza Hotel

"Room had a broken switch for mirror light and light could not be switched off. As a result we could not sleep at all. The light was illuninating the whole room. I have informed the front desk but they just said “Tommorow we will fix it” and did not offered an alternative room. Otherwise the hotel is very new, rooms are beautiful and is at the great location of the city."

Sekeria Hammam & Suites, Historic Mansion Hotel Hotels in Heraklion

Sekeria Hammam & Suites, Historic Mansion Hotel

"We stayed at Sekeria purely by default as our overnight flight to the UK had been Cancelled. Just 19 min drive from the airport we arrived at 6am after standing outside the airport for 5 and a half hours. We were met by the manager who helped with our luggage- there were ten passengers allocated to this hotel and on arrival we had fresh lemonade and cold towels - he had been waiting since the phone call at 12am! The hotel itself was beautiful- after a 7 year renovation it clearly had an amazing makeover . Our room was stunning with soft drinks in the fridge - soft fresh towels, Italian style marble throughout the toilet and separate shower. It was decorated to a very high standard with logos embroidered on the pillowcases and the crispest white sheets. I’m not sure if the breakfast we had was standard or because TUI were funding it but wow - a selection of sweet and savoury offerings across 2 platters and that was for two people it would have fed four! Hot drinks and fresh orange juice served as standard. This is a family run hotel and it was clear to see everyone gets involved including the children! The Manager went above and beyond to make us comfortable and even let us stay in the room until we were collected at 5pm . He then liaised with TUI when there was a mix up with our pick up. I can honestly say if I was ever in Heraklion again I would want to stay at the Sekeria."

"The location is in front of the port, so you can walk there after getting off at the port. The airport will call you a taxi for 15 euros, and there is no coffee pot in the room."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel ★★★★★
"It is just over one kilometer away from the ferry terminal. The hotel's own parking lot is very small and there are not many parking spaces. If you are unlucky, you need to park in the central parking lot, which is 300 meters away on foot."

Olive Green Hotel ★★★★
"It's rare to find such a cost-effective hotel in Europe, located in the city center and close to everything. The room is spacious and relatively new. There is actually a pad in the room that can be used. I happily followed the show. Every waiter has a super nice attitude. The breakfast is also good, it changes a little every day, and there are discounts for eating in the restaurant downstairs. very satisfied The only drawback is that it's a little noisy downstairs at night"

Ethereal White Resort Hotel & Spa ★★★★★
"The hotel was amazing, in every way. The breakfast was 5-star. We didn't use the free rooftop breakfast, but we're sure judging by the number of occupied tables nearby, everything was fine. We visited the spa, and the area was 5 stars, the service was 5 stars, and the massage quality, sorry, was a 3. Would you recommend it if you visit Crete? Definitely! It's a 5-star hotel, thank you for the warm welcome."

Centro Vero Suites by Omilos Hotels ★★★
"A kind of guesthouse or Airbnb. The suite, overlooking the backyard/barracks, doesn't look like the advertisements. The whirlpool had no water. There's no contact person on site or reception. The cleaning lady is supposed to help with any issues in the morning, but she only speaks Greek. The door code didn't work for us, which is very annoying without a contact person. We ended up booking a hotel and changing rooms. We were stuck with the costs, and the guesthouse hasn't responded for four weeks."

"Due to a mix up, we ended up being changed to this hotel at the last minute, which turned out to be a good choice. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our room was small, but functional. Due to jet lag, we missed the buffet but that was ok, we were in a good location and found a great spot nearby for a coffee and pastry combo."
