"I had an excellent time at Aquila Atlantis. The staff was helpful, the pool area was well maintained and gives an exceptional view of Heraklion, and the room was spacious and clean. Moreover, the breakfast selection was very good. "
"Amazing place if you want traditional housing and don't mind mountainous roads and you plan to travel into town from the village for eating out. The one taverna that serves food only opens at 2000 and isn't open every day. When they are open though they have Amazing food and the waitress was amazing as well. There's places to get groceries if you want to cook for yourself."
"Very nice 5 star historical building. Fully updated with the latest amenities. Staff was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Rooms were very spacious with all the amenities you could need. Remote controls for the 2 tv’s need new batteries. Pool area is very nice. 8/10 would highly recommend this place.
Thanks for having us !"
"We stayed for a couple of nights with kids. It was comfortable and clean. Just know that it is surrounded by older buildings. But well insulated so we didn't hear the traffic. Good for a quick stay. Staff was helping. We got in late but it was a keyless entry and staff sent good instructions. Washing machine was helpful."
"Nice hotel, decent location close to local bus station and harbor. Wifi in our room had a poor connection. Elevators a little small, fridge in our room had a weird smell and safe was already locked (only stayed one night so didn't bother). Breakfast buffet was very good and staff very friendly and helpful. Herb garden restaurant on the 4th floor was excellent, nice view and great food."
"This is a new hotel and although it has a five star rating it is not quite yet a five star experience. Rooms are very comfortable and well equipped, but it is a bit soulless, it feels like a 4-star, it’s corporate rather than boutique.
Definitely pay for a sea view room otherwise your view will be an ugly shopping centre. The location outside the Venetian city walls in an underdeveloped quarter of the city means a 25 minute walk into the old town in 30C heat, or multiple taxis. The rooftop pool is nice for a dip, with a lovely sea view, but the lounging area is very small. Breakfast is buffet style, no eggs to order, no a la carte. Staff are excellent and friendly, the gym is decent (although the music is loud and there’s no option to control it). There’s an unfortunate ‘signature scent’ in all public areas. Cheap, synthetic, powdery.
If you want to explore the coast west of Heraklion this is a good location. But if you want to enjoy the museums, restaurants and bars in the city, this perhaps isn’t the best spot."
"The room is clean but very old, not as modern and shiny look as the lobby. Breakfast is awesome and has lots of choices, also very healthy and tasty. Staff is very helpful and responsive."
