We originally booked this hotel with some trepidation (about staying in Heraklion), but based on positive comment about Kastro Hotel. The comment was spot-on! Great staff, great hotel, great location, great value. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends. About Heraklion, the negative comments were completely off-base. We would definitely visit Heraklion again - and stay at the... More

This hotel is what id call mutton dressed as lamb. Its in a quiet location but close enough to the port to grab a taxi there. The finish on the hotel fittings is excellent but stuff just didnt work. There is also an annoying automated door bell by your bed that allows you set do not disturb etc but it... More

Kastro hotel was nothing amazing, but met all our needs for a short stay in Crete. Hotel was clean, although there was a strange odour in the corridors. Bathroom was new and shower was great. Breakfast was small, however had a reasonable selection of fruit, breads, cold meats and eggs (although were often yesterday's left over hard boiled eggs). Well... More

I'm glad I chose this little hotel. It's very close to the main sights in Heraklion (port, pedestrianised centre, market ....). It's in a maze of narrow streets - so no major traffic noise. It's decorated and furnished in a modern style, to a high standard, and is very clean. I asked for, and got, a very quiet room. If... More

We arrived late enough to get the super nice penthouse room for the cost of an average room. It was super nice- we even got a real double bed! There was a mild sewage smell even on the top floor- pretty hard to understand why. Breakfast was nice albeit a bit heavy and not a lot of light options. no... More

Kastro was a nice hotel in a good location, just a few minutes’ walk from the central square but still in a quiet street. The hotel was clean with a modern bathroom and the size of the room was sufficient although not very large. There were nice staff in the reception, and we were given a bottle of raki when... More

What a cool hotel! The layout of the spacious rooms (well, our room anyway), was built on somewhat of a slant and the color scheme was a soft neon green - very modern. It looked like the furniture was fairly new and the room was very clean. The hotel is not overlooking the ocean or water, but it is within... More

Our agent (Greek Sun) booked us into this hotel for one night, due mainly to its proximity to the ferry port (taxi - 5 euros). It was also an easy walk to the touristy part of the centre of town, where there were plenty of nice bars and restaurants. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Bedroom reasonably spacious with... More

We decided to walk from the bus stop to Kastro hotel. It was about 15min walk from the main bus station (probably less if you have no luggage). We would probably advise you to take the taxi since it wasn't easy trying to walk down the streets with our luggage. Taxi would probably have cost only 6 or 7 euros.... More
