Top Hotel - with a GREAT Rooftop Bar
I typically stay here for work trips to HER - Thia is the 6/7th time I've been here and it has an amazing rooftop bar (with great food!) to watch the sunset and work (or to catch some sun). I love the hotel and it's super close to everything. If you feel lazy there is also a gun there so it covers everything. Thank you Capsis team ❤️

Book elsewhere!
Hotel was awful, very outdated. There was a terrible musty smell in our room that doesn’t go away, so bad. The bed was very low and hard, no comfort. Flooring was also peeling away. Shower head did not work properly, was broken. Very old, needs a big revamp!

8/10 Very good

Good for exploring Heraklion
The hotel is right beside the Archeological Museum and within walking distance of many other attractions. Parking is available (EUR 14/night): you pause outside in the busy street, double-parking is normal, to unload luggage and the hotel staff will then take your keys and whisk the car away to somewhere else -- give 20 minutes notice whenever you want it back. The hotel has a slightly older feel to it, but our room was spacious with a good balcony, although a small ensuite bathroom; the bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was very welcome. There was a very good choice of buffet options at breakfast. The rooftop pool is fairly compact and can be windy, but a blessing after a hot day of sightseeing!

Another good overall experience.
Always a very pleasant and friendly place to stay. Very handy for local buses to either the airport or the Ktel bus station.

2/10 Poor

Strong mould damage in room
Hotel was advertised as having a rooftop pool and rooftop bar available “Highlight: Outdoor pool available! Only 5% of properties offer this in Heraklion.” Both were NOT available. We booked a twin room. The springs were easy to feel through the mattresses - so uncomfortable. They offered us to test 3 alternative rooms. The first had the same bed. The second had much better beds, but had a really bad mould smell in the room which couldn’t get rid of by opening the window, see the photo of the ceiling. The third room was a double bed that was also really hard and again springs were felt through the mattress. We walked into town and found another hotel that had a rooftop bar and fresh rooms and left Capsis without staying. They even charged us the full days parking for 2 hours of parking. Neither the hotel nor Hotels.com responded to our messages through the App. We lost all the money for the stay, even though the hotel did not have the services advertised and stank of mould

Awful, cold, dirty, not worth the cheap price
The rooms were tiny, cold, infested with ants and other insects, no heating, dingy bathrooms, dingy rooms with worn down linens, and “king” beds were two uncomfortable twin beds next to each other with no gap cover. We hand a constant stream of ants coming out of the drain and other assort disgusting insects (see photos)
