The breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever had, and having access to the beautiful pool during the hot summer was a huge plus. I really enjoyed relaxing in the garden area and the sun terrace—a perfect way to unwind. Just a heads-up, the view from my balcony wasn’t quite what the photos suggested, but that didn’t take away from a great stay. ☀️

Couple's great getaway

the exceptional breakfast was a highlight like nothing I’ve experienced before. champagne, fresh honey from the comb, and all the Cretan sweets! on top of that, the room was so spacious. the bed and pillows were super comfortable, plus, the balcony view was breathtaking overlooking the port

it wasn't exactly a bargain, but still worth the money

Charming, Charming, Charming

My stay was a dream! Breakfast featured local delicacies and a bubbly Italian brut champagne—I mean, who doesn’t love brunch with bubbles? The rooftop pool? Perfect for soaking in that sun with a view of the bustling port. And can we talk about the super comfy pillow menu? Sleeping like a queen is non-negotiable!

Would recommend ❤️😊

comfortable stay with a great view

The executive room offered a stunning harbor view that enhanced our stay. The cleaning staff maintained excellent standards, ensuring our room was always fresh and tidy.

The only downside was the slightly busy location.

We enjoyed various water sports and even played some tennis at the nearby courts. The location is super convenient. The pools are a nice touch after a long day out. Totally recommend trying the breakfast options, but just be ready for a little wait for your coffee.

One downside was the breakfast service. It took quite a while for our coffee orders to arrive, and a couple of times our requests were forgotten. It can be frustrating when you're excited to start the day.

Great family getaway

Staying in Heraklion was awesome! The rooms are super spacious and clean, which was perfect for our family. Breakfast was a highlight, with amazing service from Maria and Stella—they were so sweet! The location is perfect for exploring the city, but the lobby can get a bit noisy at night with all the chatter.

I enjoyed the luxurious lobby with its mid-century decor, which was both inviting and accessible. The staff was incredibly helpful, making it easy for me to navigate the hotel and local attractions, enhancing my stay in Heraklion.

More seating options in common areas would be nice.

would like to stay longer

Had a fantastic time in an executive room with a harbor view. Spacious with a comfy bed, Nespresso machine, and generous toiletries. Enjoyed the extensive breakfast buffet with made-to-order omelets and local favorites. The rooftop pool had stunning city views and a nice atmosphere. Excellent cleaning staff kept everything spotless. Perfect location for exploring nearby museums and restaurants.

a wonderful stay at aquila with friendly staff and delicious breakfast served early

Outstanding location, warm staff, exceptional service.

The rooftop pool is fantastic for enjoying stunning views of Heraklion! The hotel offers a lovely family atmosphere and our room was spacious and well-kept. Plus, we loved indulging in the local cuisine, especially the stuffed calamari—it was a treat for our taste buds!

My children wished for a more kid-friendly play area and some organized activities. A little improvement in that area would make a huge difference for families.

Great Experience with Fantastic Food

We enjoyed a lovely five-night stay overlooking the harbor. The onsite dining options were exceptional, with delicious meals that made our experience memorable. The staff were attentive, resolving our airport transfer issue promptly. Be sure to explore nearby attractions—perfectly situated for sightseeing!

The breakfast had an impressive variety, including fresh yogurt and fruits. The rooftop pool offers stunning views and is a great spot to relax. The staff was friendly and exceptionally helpful. The location is convenient, just a short walk to the city center. 🌅
