Confortable rooms

The room was great and the bed was comfortable. The cleaners were friendly and did a great job. The breakfast was varied and lovely. The hotel was well located for transport and trips. The reception staff let the hotel down in my opinion. However, there are many eateries nearby where the staff are friendly and warm.

Capsis Astoria is very conveniently located. It’s on the bus route to and from the airport so getting there is 1.20€. It’s also next door to the Heraklion archeological museum and on the bus route to Knossos. There are multiple restaurants nearby ranging from casual cafes to fine dining. We highly recommend Pemptos Ntore restaurant just across the way on the fifth floor. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating, letting us check in when we arrived at 11 am. The breakfast is substantial. We enjoyed sitting at the pool and having a drink. They have a small version of a Greek windmill on the roof. Very Instagram friendly. We recommend it highly.
