Situated within 1.1 km of Amoudara Beach and 1.8 km of Venetian Walls in Heraklio Town, Pavo Art Hotel provides accommodation with seating area. The property has garden and inner courtyard views, and is 2 km from Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Beautifully designed hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Free parking in nearby mall was a bonus. Nice restaurant (Kizuna) and cafe down the road. We stopped off here briefly on route to other parts of Crete, arriving late and leaving the next morning so didn't spend a lot of time exploring Heraklion or the local area.

The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. All the staff were super friendly. We already felt welcome when arrived. Our room had a fantastic view to the beach and we enjoyed sitting there watching the sea and sunset. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Got a nice welcome drink from the bar and some free drinks in the minibar. Breakfast was good too. All in all, we really enjoyed the time with you and thank you so much!

Located in Chania Town, 700 metres from Nea Chora Beach, Morum City Hotel Chania provides accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. This 4-star hotel offers a bar. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Perfect location- close to everything, and at the same time- on a little street. The stuff was very polite and helpful- they recommend us one of the best restaurants (not for the tourists, but for good eating…), one of the best beaches (not the popular ones) and they were there for you all the time, even in the nights! The rooms are small but very clean. Next stay in Chania definitely will be at this hotel!
