Room was clean and bed was very comfortable.The staff were very pleasant and helpful. My only complaint was my room faced the street and at times it was quite noisy. Parking is a premium on the street but the hotel has an arrangement with the city for parking at 8 euro/day
The breakfast was first rate!

Aircon issue
The hotel was fine except for one thing.The aircon. It was not possible to control it for our convenience, it was locked at what the hotel thought was adequate. Also , it was switched off completely during the night, ensuring a terrible night sleep,, or lack of it. I would not recommend.

Why no reading lights by the bed - only that horrible overhead light? Does no one need a bedside light anymore?
Also, having the property call a taxi for you is a rip-off. I was charged 10 euro for what was a 4 euro trip the day before. Do they have some kind of deal going? A total rip off.
Staff was nice, but with the negatives, I wouldn't stay there again.

Modern boutique
Lovely, friendly hotel 100yds from the centre of the city. Breakfast was lovely but a little limited as I can’t eat dairy. Very modern rooms with very good Wi-Fi, safe at an extra charge and a sun terrace on the roof.

Great hotel for a quick stopover in Heraklion. Comfy beds and friendly staff. The streets around are quite narrow so if you plan on having a rental car, just be aware.

Good value hotel, in a quiet but central location
We stayed at the Kasteo hotel twice. First for two nights , then stored our luggage there and returned in two days for two more nights. The second visit we stayed in the fifth floor that had been completely renovated. It was beautifully redone with séparer shower and toilet rooms, large closet and very comfortable king-sized bed. We also had a bit of a view of the sea from up there.
