Very simple. Just a room with beds. My husband remarked that we were staying in a hospital because of the white sheets. No blanket. Balcony space is ok. Downside is that it can get very loud because it is under the route which all the planes land. Convenient because it is right by the seaport. More

Booked a hotel at Chania but caught the only ferry from Santorini to Heraklion and arrived at 10:30pm. I didn't realise that the distance between the 2 ports is almost 200km and it would cost 170 Euro to catch a taxi there (because the bus stopped going there hours earlier). We decided to stay at Heraklion and the taxi driver... More

If you can sleep through anything and are traveling on a budget, this hotel is for you. The staff was VERY nice--the hotel was nice and clean. But the airplanes overhead, the way noise travels between rooms, the street noise, and the magic portal in the wall that let mosquitos into our room (access panel to the hot water taps... More

A fantastic hotel, great prices, the staff were very friendly and helpful. A good location only 10 mins by foot to the center of the city, or a 2 minute bus drive (buses are every 5 mins or so) even on a bus route to the beach which is about 10 minutes, overall excellent will be staying at Poseidon again.

This hotel is highly recommended by Frommers and we still cannot figure out why!! It's in a very residential neighborhood with little to do. The walk to town is about 15-20 minutes with a huge hill and it tends to be very dark at night. The hotel itself was clean, and the patio was nice for reading, but it was... More

If you stay in a hotel where you can see the runway,didn't you expect aircraft noise? It's hardly the Hotel's fault! I stayed in the hotel in September for 2 weeks and found it a wholly excellent experience.The rooms are spotless,the breakfast excellent and the staff treat you like you are family. Its close to the centre of Heraklion and... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights in Heraklion at the Poseidon Hotel. Let me start by saying that the one good thing about the hotel is the breakfast. The hotel has a good view of the harbour, if you like commercial vessels. Our room was small but clean with a balcony. The bathroom was horrible and small. The worst... More

I was searching for hotels in Rethymnon when I came across this quaint hotel on the beach so I decided to try it. I liked the convience of the location. The view was spectacular. The decor and comfort were excellent. The service of the family run hotel was friendly and efficient. I will definately go back! More
