The Sofia Hotel was just what i expected it to be. It was a hotel near the airport that was very convenient to stay at the night before our flight so that we could be at the airport very early. I don't think I would stay there otherwise but the staff was very nice and it certainly did exactly what we needed it to do.

This was a good hotel to stay at in the interim however when I booked online it mentioned that all taxes and fees were included but upon checking out they try to tax me further for the night.

We rented this hotel for easy access to the Heraklion airport for a morning flight. It is very convenient to the airport and was a very short cab ride away. That is the main attraction here. It is clean enough, and safe enough, and close enough. Nothing else is significant to note. very average hotel.

Good access to the airport. Close to the bus to Heraklion. Staff were very helpful. The only wrinkle is that water in the rooms is non-potable so bring your own water.
