Good access to the airport. Close to the bus to Heraklion. Staff were very helpful. The only wrinkle is that water in the rooms is non-potable so bring your own water.

Local gem

Super close to the airport and was close to where I wanted to be as I was in Crete for a friend's wedding. Pool area was nice with enough sun loungers for October. I stayed in a single room and was a decent size for the little time I spent in there. It had a tiny balcony attached, which I wasn't expecting but was nice to sit outside in the evening and read. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel is very well situated for easy access to the airport. There is onsite parking available and it is close to car rental companies, literally walking distance. There are a couple dining options nearby but not as many as a traveller/tourist would expect.

Sofia Hotel was conveniently located for a walk to the archaeological museum and an early morning departure at the airport. Hotel is nice and on a quiet street with convenient parking. Only problem wa that the bedding was uncomfortable and made sleep difficult.

We had a very late check in and someone was there to check us in with no issue. We only needed to stay for a few hours before heading to our next destination. The staff is so friendly and we had a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended staying here.
