What guests think

Across many reviews, Kastro Hotel is praised for its central, walkable location in Heraklion, friendly and helpful staff, very clean rooms, and generally good breakfast that offers variety and value.

Rooms are comfortable and modern or recently renovated, with comfy beds; guests also appreciate the rooftop terrace, and parking is available nearby through a paid partner lot. Downsides mentioned across multiple reviews include limited in-room control of air conditioning, occasional street noise, and a few reports of brusque check-in or service. A practical base for exploring Heraklion’s center.

Zentral gelegenes Stadthotel mit neuer Zimmereinrichtung. Kleiner Terasse im 5 Stock mit einem Getränkeautomat. Alles war gut. Leider am Empfang einen Minuspunkt, da die Dame an der Rezeption leider nicht serviceorientiert war. Liess einen mit 2 Koffern und 2 Rucksäcken alleine stehen und man fühlte sich eher als unwilkommener Gast.

Das Hotel Kastro liegt sehr zentral und ruhig in der Innenstadt von Heraklion. Wir hatten ein einfaches, sehr sauberes Zimmer mit großem Safe, das völlig ausreichend war. Das Hotel verfügt über eine Dachterrasse, auf der man abends den Tag ausklingen lassen kann. Genial ist der Kühlschrank (Geldeinwurf) am Eingang zur Dachterrasse mit verschiedenen Getränken und kleinen Snacks. Das Frühstück war umfangreich und schmackhaft. Wir können das Hotel sehr empfehlen.

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.

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.

2nd stay at this lovely City centre hotel. Staff are great and rooms very clean. Good beds and A/C. Lovely roof terrace to catch the sun too. Breakfast not the best but the location more than makes up for any shortcomings. 1 minute and you are in the centre and close to the port. We will be back again

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!

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.
