Violetta Hotel

The hotel's proximity to the beach and convenient bus access to Heraklion city center made exploring easy. Overall, this hotel creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect place to experience a vacation that feels like a journey to a stress-free and carefree time. It's a retreat that offers a heartwarming and personable stay that you won't find in the polished, impersonal spaces of more mainstream tourist spots. What truly sets this hotel apart, beyond its vintage charm, is the staff. These warm and welcoming individuals go beyond the norm to make you feel like a part of the family, hospitality of the multigenerational staff truly makes you feel at home.

Great pool. Linked to a nice restaurant. The restaurant goes onto a pretty busy street about 100 m from the beach and the hotel is located away from the street so it's quieter and still close to a bunch of great restaurants. The street really came alive at night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were great and included dishes that were hand-prepared which was also a nice touch.

Total value for money, excellent hosts. Nothing was a issue, location was perfect, bus stop 2 mins to city. Plenty of bars & restaurants/ car hire is a must. The beach is a 3 min walk from the hotel, the hotel & restaurant staff were amazing, couldn't do enough. Will definitely stay again..

Actually when i booked the hotel i was not expecting anything wow because it was just for a short stay to attend a wedding in Heraklion. But i was impressed with everything. First the host is so kind and helpful and she did her best to provide everything i needed during my stay and I really appreciated providing for me extra things based on my request for free. The location is good if you come by car, taxi or bus. Nearby you can find a lot of good restaurants, coffee shops, stores, mini markets and a very nice beach. The room was spacious and it has a good view to the garden and swimming pool. The bed was so comfortable for me and the weather was so cool so i didn't use the AC even. i enjoyed discovering the garden nearby and the swimming pool was an added value to the hotel. The Toilet was always clean. Check-in and check-out process was quick and easy. The value of money for what you get is so good.

The hosts are really nice. The hotel is cosy, good atmosphere, close to the sea with a very good beach area. Close to all kinds of shops, restaurants and the bus stop. Breakfast was great, I loved the pancakes. :) I recommend it to everyone.
