  : Great location - near the sea and also near the old town. We always found free parking near the hotel. Very fun pool. Huge balcony.
  : Daly cleaning could be a little better. Very hard mattress. Drinking beer is not allowed near pool, just from local hotel bar.

  : Harriet and team were so helpful; all the staff including the cleaning ladies were friendly and kind. The double glazing was great; very little noise from the small road below us (facing sea). Nice, popular pool area with comfortable loungers and table tennis and a pool table nearby. Room 25, an apartment with separate bedroom, was spacious and big enough for 3 of us, with one sleeping on one of the two couches in living room. We had a harbour view and a long balcony which was perfect for drying towels, etc, on the rack provided. The wifi was great, no issues at all. There was a safe in the wardrobe which didn't cost us extra. Useful hairdryer in the bathroom, which decided to die one day so the reception lady lent us a plug in hairdryer without a moment's hesitation!There are lockers, showers and toilets in the basement, which can be used free of charge on the day you leave if you have a late flight. We were going to use these but decided to pay 40 more to keep the room until 7pm the day of our flight home.Snacks and drinks are available in pool area at lunch time but we didn't try them.What made this apartment perfect for us was the closeness to the marina where a friend lives, so it was 3 minutes walk to visit them. The apartment is also near a corner shop and laundrette and a fabulous patisserie is literally on the other side of the road. Two supermarkets are just under 10 minutes walk away (Sklavenitis and Synka). Less than 5 minutes walk to several good value restaurants, Thraka (souvlaki), Maria's (traditional local), Kokkinos (about 20 types of pizza & traditional local). Kokkinos, in the square, was a favourite. Loads of more expensive restaurants along the seafront, e.g. Downtown, where the food was excellent. There was still nightlife in mid October!We mostly used the buses to get to and from Heraklion airport, pretty easy and about 10 per person each way.
  : The mattresses were well used; we could feel the springs but I had seen a previous review mentioning asking for mattress toppers so we asked. With the mattress toppers the beds were very comfortable. We had smokers on the balcony next to us - we kept having to close the balcony doors so we didn't get smoked out! Perhaps one side of the building could be non-smoking (although it did seem everyone except us smoked!)
