This hotel is very well situated for easy access to the airport. There is onsite parking available and it is close to car rental companies, literally walking distance. There are a couple dining options nearby but not as many as a traveller/tourist would expect.

We had a very late check in and someone was there to check us in with no issue. We only needed to stay for a few hours before heading to our next destination. The staff is so friendly and we had a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended staying here.

A great stay
We knew we were flying in late and so were looking for a hotel close to the airport for one night before continuing on to our ultimate destination. We saw a number of very positive reviews for the this hotel and decided to make a reservation, which turned out to be a great experience. We decided to walk from the airport to the hotel since the distance was only about 1.6 km, one mile or so, and walking proved no problem as we only had a one backpack and one carry on bag each. The room was simple and clean, the breakfast was great, the staff were polite, the atmosphere was laid back and comfortable, and we found the price to be very affordable. Exactly what we were hoping for in a one night stay. Overall a great stay.

Perfect Airport Hotel
We arrived after a late flight from the UK. Our flight landed on time at 22:00, and it took us until 22:45 (we had hold baggage) until we were clear of the airport. We took a taxi from the airport (15€). We chose to spend one night near the airport and were able to walk to the Europcar pickup point the next morning. Check in was quick and easy. The hotel was much better than I had anticipated. The rooms were clean and modern. There is a fridge which had bottled water in it. We had a small balcony. The bar is open until 01:00 and bar snacks are available until 23:00. There is complimentary raki in the foyer. Wine is available by the jug or bottle and reasonably priced. The bartender was expecting us to take the bottle and glasses back to our room, but we sat outdoors and relaxed. Aircon in the room was effective. We didn’t use the pool but the area looks clean and well maintained. We got breakfast at a local bakery which was a couple of minute’s walk away.

For the money, this is an extremely nice place to stay. Nothing fancy, but everything is clean and the staff is very friendly. It has great workability to restaurants and markets yet is off the main path. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

Hotel Sofia very convenient to Heraklion airport. Could walk to some reataurants. Pool area was nice. The room was quiet considering how close to airport. But our room wasn't properly made up when we arrived. Only one set of towels and one sheet. Bathroom trash hadn't been emptied.
