Marin Hotel

We travelled to Heraklion as a part of our 10th anniversary trip. The hotel offered a complementary welcome basket in our room upon our arrival, which was a nice touch and it made us feel welcome. This was a very good value for money accommodation option: standard hotel room and standard hotel breakfast. The breakfast room has a spectacular view of the Heraklion Venetian Port, which we enjoyed a lot. As a kind suggestion to the hotel, we believe that adding some textiles to the breakfast room interior would improve the acoustics and enhance the atmosphere of the room (just a kind suggestion!). The old town is a very short walk away. The property is very close to the Heraklion harbor, which was convenient for us arriving by ship. The airport is only 5 km away, so we were able to walk to the airport from the hotel.

We had the room with huge terrace overlooking the harbour which had an amazing view. Shade and sun at all times of day. Great location near to harbour (both for visiting the fortress and for catching the ferry to Santorini!) and walking distance of lots of restaurants. Their own restaurant is only open for breakfast, but there was a lot of choice (buffet style) and even better views from this top floor.

Very nice hotel with an excellent located within a 5min walk from the ferryboat port, the KTEL bus station and the main pedestrian streets and tourist sites of the city. Polite and sympatric staff at the reception, always ready to help you with anything you may need. My travel was work related so I stayed in a single room which was not very big but the veranda with partial sea view was a surprising bonus. The hotel manager even provided me with a table so I could work on the veranda. The best part of this hotel is the roof top restaurant where the breakfast is served. The view is unforgettable !

Location was great. Short walk to pedestrian street, ferry terminal, harbor and fortress. Staff at front desk very friendly and helpful, and allowed us to store luggage until room was ready. Evening gentleman was very friendly and we enjoyed our conversation with him and learned a bit about the Greek culture/society. Front desk staff both set a very welcoming tone that we appreciated! Breakfast also very good!

Stayed for one night, and found it clean, comfortable, and convenient. Steps away from good restaurants and an easy drive (via cab, didn't explore parking options) to the airport in the morning. Front desk clerk assisted with coffee in the morning--the bar in the lobby wasn't self-serve, though it looked like it should be. A bit confusing, but turned out fine.
