The balcony had a view of the harbour and fort it was also very big.

The view of the harbour and Koules Castle from my balcony was lovely.

Our room - junior suite with sea view - was a good size wwith a nice balcony and great view over the harbour and to the Venetian Fort.

Location overlooking harbour and short walk into town had spectacular views

The restaurant is on the 4th floor,  great views of the harbour.

- a lovely bright room with good living space plus separate bedroom, tea/coffee, long balcony and super view of the harbour.

We loved the balcony with the view over the harbour, that was great.

The restaurant offers amazing views of the harbour.

At the rooftop you have a wonderful view of the harbour and the fort.

Our room, a junior suite on the third floor, had a fantastic view of the harbour and Venetian Fort.

Great location with harbour view (if you pay for it or go to the top restaurant), and near the city centre.

The hotel is great - we had a junior suite with wonderful views of the old harbour.

Hotel is situated in a great spot with a nice harbour view.

Take the KTEL bus to Chania 15 euro’s -go after lunch and go early so if the bus leaves at 2:30pm go at 2 pm and you will get a great seat- sit on the left side of the bus as you enter you will get sea and coast views.

Bedroom suite very comfortable & had beautiful view of harbour & Koulis Castle.

We definately recommend it if you can spring for a harbour view.

- The rooftop restaurant offers great food, and awesome views over the harbour.

.service was good and the ladies at the reception were very helpful with all queries ..

We also had dinner at the rooftop restaurant which has excellent views across the harbour and the sea and great food ..

We had a nice clean room with a nice view over the old harbour and the castle of Heraklion.

Brilliant location and wonderful views of the harbour.

This hotel is very close to the Venetian fortress, Ferry dock and the bus station.

Near to soping center 
It is a great choice 

Walking distance from center, near to bus station and taxi.

The location cannot be faulted - not far from the harbour, close to so many restaurants and shops, the bus station, etc.

but it's great location, walking distance to the bus station and ferry.

10 mins from bus station and short taxi transfer to airport

We then also had a similar walk to the bus station for onward transfer so it is perfectly positioned.

Clean and easy walk to the bus station, the Venetian port,  the archeology museum, and anywhere else in Heraklion.

We chose the Lato because it is very near the sea wall walks, the ferry Port, as well as the Archaeological Museum, the bus station, and just about everything else,

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk from the port and ferry terminal, and also a short walk to the intercity bus station.

Very well located between historic city centre, seafront with Venetian castle, ferry terminal and bus station.

We took the bus in from Chania and the ferry to Santorini so it was great to be within walking distance of the bus station and ferry terminal.

Well positioned hotel close to the old harbour (and near the ferries and bus station).And just a short walk to the centre of the town.

Location was great for me as about 5 minutes from the bus station which is also where you can get either a cab or a bus to go to the Knossos Palace ruins.

Also 5 mins walk to several bus station so exploring Heraklion is so easy.

The location was very convenient to go to restaurants, the Venetian fort, the bus station, and the ferry.

The location of the hotel is ideal for accessing the city center, and is just a couple minute's walk from the public bus station (which is where we picked up the bus (for 1.70) to Knossos).

It was easy to find from the bus station , just a walk up the stairs.

The bus station is a short walk from the hotel, making it easy to see other parts of the island.

The hotel is within walking distance to most of the sites and only blocks from the bus station and port.

Close proximity to bus station for Knossos Palace and ten minute walk to main town.

Although when on the balcony you can hear the traffic and planes once you close the doors the room is completely sound proof.

The room looked untidy with some hairspray stains on the bathroom door and sticky surfaces.

We were there several days and could never determine why we constantly heard slamming doors.

but extremely noisy… we could hear, the cars, the planes and people next door.

The railings, the elevator, the doors and rooms.

but once evening came or when the balcony doors were shut, we heard nothing.

We had a harbor-view room, which meant a teeny balcony with a low partition from the room next door - when our neighbor also came out on his balcony, we were inches apart and had a lively conversation!

Rooms do get noisy if rowdy guests go up and down corridors due to Poor door Insulation.

There was a lot of noise from the floor above and the banging of doors through the night echoed throughout the hotel.

The only negative was the state of the bathroom which could be cleaner as far as it concerns the walls of the douche and the bathroom and the door which were dirty.

but if you only want a drink you can’t sit with a sea view, you have to sit in a lounge area looking at the building next door.

Small balcony with two chairs and a small table, possible to open the balcony glass doors for fresh aid and to dry laundry on!

Bathroom a bit small, difficult to open door and get in / out, especially with someone else inside.

However, what decreased the quality of our stay was the fact that some so called athletes, a Greek football team in particular, was also staying there.They were shouting and banging doors all night long.

Door to bathroom/toilet was placed in awkward position such that you will need to move to the shower end in order to close/open the door.

Additionally the elevator was right outside the door.

but the next day we had the same problem to open the door.

but efficiently planned) The wall-to-wall window/sliding door onto the balcony perceptually doubles the size of the room.

In order to use the toilet, we had to close the door and squeeze into the corner.

The hotel is also conveniently located to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and to the bus station, where one can catch the bus to Knossos as well as buses to other locations in Crete (e.g., Chania, Rethymno).

This hotel has a great location - it is very close to the bus station (buses to Knossos, as well as other destinations in Crete), ferry port, and walking distance from the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.

The hotel location is close to the waterfront, fortress, shopping streets, four-lion fountain, and several important museums.

Hotel is centrally located and close to everything - airport, ferry port, Main Street with restaurants/bars, archaeology museum.

The location was perfect for seeing museums, churches and for restaurants and shopping.

The hotel is excellently situated overlooking the harbour and sea and close to the   centre for shops and restaurants and a short walk to the wonderful museum.

It's just a 15-20 minute walk to the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion which contains many artifacts dug up from the Palace of Knossos and elsewhere on the island so well worth the time.

The location is ideal for visiting central Heraklion and the Archeological Museum ( well worth a visit) whilst affording superb views over the old fort and harbour.

Walk to main square, open market, museum and Venetian fort with 4 km walkway.

In a neighborhood, with a profusion of restaurants and tavernas, the hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Heraklion's main tourist attraction, the Archaeological Museum, with its astonishing collection of Minoan artifacts.

It was also an easy walk into downtown Heraklion, so dining out or visiting museums wasn't a problem.

within walking distance to Lions Square aka Hondos Shopping Center (a Pedestrian Mall), Morosini Fountain, National Archaeological Museum.

Lato Boutique Hotel is located in a good location within walking distance of the old harbor, shops and the archeological museum.

Well situated for sight seeing, museums, shopping, eating out and bars.

The Lato Hotel location is very strategic : tourism spot (fortress, museum, etc.

Excellent location for the archeological museum and the port for an early departure.

One block from the fascinating Museum of Ancient Greek Technology.

Comfortable, clean hotel, good location with easy walk into town, museum, Koulis fort, friendly service.

Great location, very helpful and friendly staff, good breakfast, wonderful rooftop restaurant.

The roof top dinner restaurant simple and good.

The Customer Service by the staff was also exceptional in the roof top restaurant.

Didn’t stay enough time to try their roof top restaurant for dining.

We also had very good dinner one night in the hotel's rooftop restaurant, with great views.

The Herb's rooftop restaurant can withstand all comparisons with Athen's top restaurants.

We also loved its rooftop restaurant, which has a fantastic view, good service and great gourmet food.

We enjoyed a meal in the rooftop restaurant on our first night - excellent service and food, large portions and of course a lovely view.

we tried out the rooftop restaurant and the food was very well priced and delicious, the amount was enough to have two meals and waiters very friendly

Dinner at the rooftop restaurant was very good, with very nice waitstaff and a nice view.

Dinner at the rooftop restaurant was a highlight.

The roof top restaurant is great for meals and drinks with friends.

Rooftop restaurant gives a great view of the harbor.

The real star of the hotel is their roof top restaurant and the matre de, Babis.

Amazing views from the rooms and the roof top restaurant.

Dinner on the rooftop restaurant was great as were the wait staff.

However, the room itself was clean, the staff friendly, the breakfast lovely and the rooftop restaurant regarded as top expensive dining in the city.

This year, unfortunately we have had a small room in the annex of the hotel, no balcony and quite hot, at a low floor.

The room was a little small and the bathroom very small.

The two rooms were small and somewhat worn with a retro feel

Quite small rooms and the colour scheme of yellow, red and dark wood made it feel dated.

Near central bus station ; our room is really small ,cannot be 2 in the bathroom .

The room was small (well, we got, what we booked),

The breakfast is good,  Our room was small

On the downside, our room was just a bit small and the furniture and room needed a repaint.

On the way down to breakfast the following morning we were asked how everything was for us, I mentioned that it is great however the room is a little on the small side

Well,  the room was small and looked a little tired.

Our double room was small and was a strange shape it had a small balcony with  table and chairs and lovely views of the harbour.

We had a boutique room with veranda overlooking the port,marina and fortress,although the room a little small it still offered all the usual extras,mini fridge robes etc.

to the central overland bus station.The service was excellent, the staff was very kind, attentive and helpful, the room was (as whished by me before) on 5th floor with a look over the roofs of the town and a nice glimpse of the sky, it was comfortable, spacious, with a beautiful bathroom and an espresso machine.

Busstation 3min away, the main intercity bus station is also around 5-10min away by foot.

On a map it appears extremely close to the bus station (best way to travel around Crete IMO),

An easy walk to the town centre, its wonderful museums and eating places, and handy enough to the excellent new bus station and its comfortable coaches.

Here are the pro’s and con’s :

Pro’s : 
-Location : Near the center, port and bus station
-Clean rooms 
-Confortable beds 
-Nice balcony view of the port (and nice view from rooftop pool).

Main bus station is just outside the port gates.

The hotel has everything going for it: it's close to the harbour (my wife and I walked over from the ferry with our bags with no problem); it's close to the old town (a seven minute walk to the centre of town); wonderful facilities; excellent service; caring and professional staff; quiet; it's located very near the Archaelogical Museum as well as the bus station; and with very nice views.

Very close to the main bus station and just below the Archaeology Museum.

This five star hotel is situated perfectly at ten minutes walk from the ferry harbour and the main bus station.

Main highlights would be the two pool areas with a breathtaking roof top pool with Panoramic views, the fantastic location as close to airport, bus station and the centre of the very cosmopolitan Heraklion!

Brilliant location to get to the centre of town to eat out (5  mins) and 5 min walk to the local bus station which takes you everywhere on the island, so a great base.

The location is central to restaurants, the pedestrian mall, bus station and port; breakfast was fresh and plentiful and our room was clean, well-sized and (also importantly) exactly as pictured within the booking sites.

Location is definitely an advantage, very close to the center and just by the bus station and port, which is perfect if you are taking a jet or ferry to another island.

You are just a short walk to any part of Heraklion and the bus station, just a few kilometers from the airport.

I found the location of the hotel excellent and very convenient, as it is near the Eleftherias Square (for taking the public bus to Nikos Kazantzakis Int'l airport as well as the bus to Knossos Archaeological Site), just behind the Archaeological Museum of  Heraklion (the most important  Museum for Minoan Civilization in the world), a stone's throw from the Bus Station A (e.g. to Chania, Rethymno, Kastelli, etc.)

On the edge of the old city and close to the bus station, this hotel is perfectly located.

The location is great, a short walk to the city and the harbour and close to the bus station to Knossos, and a short taxi ride to the airport.

but it is very close to the harbor and the bus station, which is great for going sightseeing, to the beaches etc..

It's fairly centrally located - just a few minutes walk to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and about 15 minutes to the Port and the main town where all the restaurants are.

It’s two blocks to the astonishing Heraklion Archaeological Museum (Minoan culture from 7000 B.C.

Perfect location if you are arriving by ferry and want to visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum with its world-famous collection of Minoan art.

), Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, and other museums.

This spring (14 to 19 April 23) I finally realized my wish to visit the famous  Archeological Museum of Heraklion with the largest collection of Minoian culture worldwide and I must say I was overwhelmed.

Museum, restaurants, Venetian fort all within walking distance.

Close to main shopping precinct, museums and other attractions.

The hotel’s location is perfect—a five minute walk to the harbor and bus terminal  and two blocks from the archaeological  museum.

AQILA Atlantis is in a great location, around the corner from the must see Heraklion Archeological Museum.

great location to the main squares with eateries, bus stops, shops and museum.

It is also very close to the archaeological museum also 1 min away by foot.

Easy walking to the harbour, museum and town.

The location was pretty central, about a block away from the Archeological Museum, and maybe 10 minutes max to the main shops and centre.

It's also very close to the Archaeological Museum.

It's a 2 block walk to the Archaeological Museum and a few minutes the other way towards the main strip.

Close to the port for getting the ferry and close to the museum and shopping areas.

The hotel  is perfectly located, just a 5 minute walk from the shopping street, museums, port, restaurants, kiosks and the hop on hop off bus stop.

It was near the waterfront and the wonderful archaeological museum and also the bus tour stop near the museum.

The Archeological Museum (where the bus could park) was a  5-minute walk.

The hotel was redeveloped in 2013, and has a calming decor and colour palette, providing a relaxing bar/lounge area in the lobby, fantastic views over the city from its rooftop pool, spacious and modern rooms, and professional, friendly staff.

A terrific roof top pool that was never too crowded with a lovely breeze.

Food was Devine and the roof top pool was so lush.

Enjoyed rooftop pool with its great views.

There's a pool at the roof top with a view of the harbor and the city.

The highlight for us was that the hotel had a rooftop pool with excellent views of the port and the entire city.

The pool on the rooftop is really small-you can fit 7 people inside and it will be crowded.

Rooftop pool is very quiet, perfect for a relax

Helpful, round-the-clock staff who can answer any questions, a huge breakfast with whatever culinary creation you are dreaming of - a gorgeous rooftop pool (towels provided) with a view over Heraklion.

Breakfast was great, the staff very friendly and the rooftop pool an excellent bonus to relax.

There is a rooftop pool that is just right for a refreshing dip at the end of the day, it’s not a big swimming pool,

Amazing breakfast, fantastic service, roof top pool is amazing and today we visited the day spa and had 70minute Cretan massage it was the best massage I have ever had and I am a beauty therapist so I know!!

One would expect there would be areas of shade on the roof top around the pool .

The rooftop and pool were a nice escape to relax in the sun.

The Aquila Atlantis hotel is a big Hilton style hotel with a spa and rooftop pool.

We enjoyed the roof top pool wth fab views over the Venetian harbour.

Roof top pool was enjoyed by the kids for the few hours of the evening we had, and it was well decked out, water a little cool

The rooftop pool is very small with so strange working hours 10-19h.

2 Water pools was tiny for kids and awkward hours from 11-7. Clean.

(-) Charge of 3.3€ for water in dinner, coffee is poor, pools are small, noise from the airport, doesn't suite for vacation with small children.

There are two small pools and a spa with daily  specials which are posted in the elevators.

both pools are very small (10-15 meters long the most).

however the pools are small and not very deep..

The pools are small and cold, we didn't use them much.

There are 2 small pools, not really big enough to do any serious swimming

but high standard, excellent service, small pools but not many people.

Small pool and no umbrellas around the sun beds so hot very hot to sit in the heat

The only down side is a lack of view (the hotel is situated in the city center, and a lot of rooms just face people's houses and clothing lines) and the fact that the pool is very small.

though the pool was small and the main doors annoyingly hard to open.

Small pool, and some underwhelming sunloungers.

Things that could be improved - size and quality of pools - the pools are very small - big enough for one person and there seemed to be limited filtering so they looked dirty.

although the pool is quite small, so I just did a bit of sunbathing.

They say the prices have changed (but it’s not placed in the room yet) and they send us a POS with the corrected bill.

Everyone we encountered was so nice and so helpful.

PROS:
- Good location
- Fast wifi
- Friendly staff
- Excellent rooms with great A/C, nice bathroom and comfortable beds
- Good included breakfast

CONS:
- Pickup service from the Port wasn't great and a little expensive.

The location, the breakfast, and the staff were all top notch.

Firstly we would like to say how exceptional the staff were.

The staff is great, the room was spacious and breakfast was good.

Good food and we like the  staff is very pleasant, can be very busy and niosy in the public area when a  tour groups of chinese arrived during our stay.

The cleaning staff did a great job every single morning.

The staff are really helpful, patient and friendly , and the amenities are all available.

The breakfast is excellent and the staff very pleasant.

Excellent hotel about 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Heraklion; very friendly and helpful staff; clean and a breakfast buffet to die for; room very clean and a superb “rainfall” shower – highly recommended

The staff were all totally charming, friendly and helpful!

Facility is excellent and the staff is both friendly and helpful.

This proved to be very helpful the last morning when I had to leave for the airport already a quarter to 6 in the morning.

Sofia at the front desk was especially helpful and her restaurant recommendations were on point!

Lovely hotel, professional & friendly staff.
