We stayed here for 3 nights and found the hotel to be modern, clean and staff friendly. The reservation and payment was made via Bookings.com, unfortunately we didn’t receive a private balcony as stated on our booking invoice. The mini-bar fridge also did not work.

Nice hotel within walking distance to sights and good restaurants nearby. Parking is a bit of a hassle. First come first serve in very narrow streets packed with cars. More

Crete was definately the high point of my Greece adventure. Kastro Hotel was a jewel of a hotel located centrally in Iraklion. The room was immaculate, and this was reflective of the rest of the hotel. The staff were super helpful, and upon request arranged for a rental car to be brought to the front door. Indeed the rate for... More

Good, basic, value for money hotel. It’s centrally located and you can easily walk to many of Heraklion’s attractions and shops. Our room, as most of the hotel, has recently been renovated and, in fact, work was still being carried out on the floor below us but noise was kept to a minimum. There were a few niggles in the...

The staff were very friendly and helpful; we stayed there while the 48 hour strike was on. The reception guy actually phoned Knossos Palace to see if it was open for us; he also told us the private buses were running, otherwise we would have been stuck in Heraklion with nothing to do.The publicity photos created a completely false impression;...

Έχω μείνει στο "Κάστρο" 3-4 φορές, τις περισσότερες πριν την ανακαίνιση. Έτσι την τελευταία φορά που το επισκέφτηκα με τον άντρα μου περίμενα να δω τις αλλαγές που έβλεπα και στις φωτογραφίες. Δυστυχώς απογοητεύτηκα λιγάκι. Μας έβαλαν πάλι σε δωμάτιο με 3 κρεβάτια (ποιος ο λόγος?), το διπλό κρεβάτι ήταν κολλημένο στον πλάγιο τοίχο ο οποίος είχε φθαρεί λόγω υγρασίας... More

I stayed at the Kastro Hotel for one night in September, together with my husband and I would definitely like to stay there again. The hotel may not be the most beautiful one in terms of interior design (let's remember it is not a luxurious 5-star resort), but I personally found it pretty, comfortable and clean. It was also very... More

not the kind of hotel I would go back to, this hotel is pretty average in general. the staff is quiet, do not like to get involved with guests beside the basis stuff. I am not sure I can recommend it. the room was clean so can't complain about that. More

We stayed at the Kastro Hotel for one night after arriving in Crete. The hotel has been recently remodeled and we had great service. The room and bathroom were moderately sized. The breakfast buffet was great. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the main square and fortress, and is located on a quiet street. A great value and... More
