Irini Hotel

Our stay at Irini Hotel in Heraklion Airport Town turned out to be a pleasant surprise, thanks to some unexpected flight delays caused by UK Air Traffic Technical Issues and airline staff's less-than-stellar performance at Heraklion Airport. Central Location: Irini Hotel's prime location in Heraklion couldn't have been more convenient. Situated near the city centre and the old port, it allowed us to explore the area effortlessly. Warm Welcome: The front desk staff deserves a special mention for their warm and friendly welcome. They not only greeted us cordially but also went the extra mile to arrange our transportation back to the airport, which was a big relief. Comfortable Accommodation: Our room at Irini Hotel was spacious and ideal for a family. We particularly appreciated having two balconies and large, comfortable beds that provided a restful night's sleep. Exploring Heraklion: Despite our unexpected stopover, the hotel served as an excellent base for our 24-hour adventure in Heraklion. The city's vibrant port and nearby shopping facilities offered plenty of opportunities for exploration and indulgence in retail therapy. Heraklion boasts a wealth of shops, and if you're a shopping enthusiast, you won't be disappointed. Final Thoughts: For a short stopover in Heraklion, especially if you're looking for a well-located hotel that doesn't break the bank, we would definitely recommend Irini Hotel. It provided us with the comfort and convenience we needed during our unexpected layover, and the friendly staff's assistance was the icing on the cake.

Everything was excellent: Super friendly and helpful staff (they took the time to walk across the street with us to show us the grocery shop and street with restaurants), very good and varied breakfast, clean room with efficient air conditioning, great location close to the seaside and main pedestrian street in Heraklion.

We stayed only one night before taking the flight. A very good central location. The paid parking is in the front of the hotel. The rooms are rather small, but comfortable - Perfect for a short stay

Very good quality of welcoming and service during a whole week. Nice and available team.

Comfortable room close to the centre yet tucked away in a quiet side road. Helpful staff (George at reception deserves a mention) and a modern, clean and quiet room with nice en-suite corner shower and a large balcony. As we were based in Chania, it was just for 1 night to see the Archaeological Museum (5 minutes walk from the hotel) and the ruins of the Minoan palace at nearby Knossos so breakfast was adequate and quick (self-service). We would happily return.
