We stayed only for 6 hours, we got in late and needed a place close to the airport. We knew parking was extra but it said some was available. We messaged to secure it and got no response. On arrival there is no where to stop in a car we got honked at just no where to pull over. The parking was close but took driving some tight alleys to find and then you have to hand over your keys and the car for valet style. They were good but it’s a rental I wasn’t told that. The room smelled like smoke. It was clean but not impressive in any way. We had a room booked for 3 twin beds or one queen and one twin. We requested 3 twins. We got two twins pushed together like a queen and a cot.

All I needed for a one night stay in Heraklion to be close to the Archeological Museum and then travel to Knosso Palace. I didn’t hear any noise at night , the room was clean and breakfast was good. Staff was also efficient and friendly.

Ideal city centre hotel
Ideal city centre hotel, next to the market, and with taxi rank outside, and bus route to the airport. Traffic is a bit noisy at night.

Convenient and clean
The Hote Olympic is in a good location in the center of Heraklion but not too noisy. The room was very clean, and the choice from the buffet breakfast was good.

Great hotel. Modern. Walkable to everything. Good breakfast buffet. Also, for the 2021 crowd, there is a PCR testing place right around corner, like 1 minute walk. So convenient for on your way out. Would definitely stay here again.

Hard beds for low price
Hotel was very well situated near the old town square & the harbour. Valet parking took that challenge away. Two small elevators with only one working on arrival. Key didn’t work initially but the porter was great help. Room was adequate but no view and was of an old delapitated building even on the 4th floor. Beds were twin and hard European style not good for us. Poor pillows as well. Breakfast was good and complete although crowded. Hotel has 131 rooms so lots of people. Check our was efficient. Price was good however but I’m always willing to pay more for comfort. There was a nice rooftop pool and bar too

Olympic- reasonable, convenient in Heraklion
Olympic was a good find in downtown Heraklion on short notice. Reasonably priced, it’s in a great location, near a walking street with an el Greco exhibit nearby and activity even on a Sunday, which is a tough day for travelers. Free breakfast was o.k. Room was comfortable and had CNN on T.V., not standard with a mid-priced hotel.
