Capsis Astoria Heraklion

Nothing much to say to be honest Rooms are clean, fully furnished which is really nice, Service amazing! Very fluently. Very nice Location you cannot find better place. To be honest, you're really in a city center The breakfast is also very great. People are very friendly Only think was a little bit minus is the elevators are working extremely slow but the rest amazing hotel

The Best Hotel!! Centrally located, walking distance to many places! The Museum is right next door! They work with car rental agencies for ease of hire! The people that work there are absolutely the best!! Great rooms, good food and great atmosphere! I highly recommend Capsis Astoria for your stay in Heraklion! You will be so happy you did!

We stayed here 15 - 23 May 2025 on the first week of our holiday in Crete. A wonderful hotel in a fantastic location. Our room was very comfortable and had a marvellous balcony overlooking Elefterias Square. A truly excellent location. The free buffet breakfast was outstanding. The staff in the hotel especially reception and the breakfast restaurant were lovely. Yiannis, in particular, was amazing - he arranged for us to switch rooms so that we could have a balcony where we could both sit outside together (some of the balconies at the back of the hotel are very small). The rooftop swimming pool was glorious and the views from the rooftop were superb. The hotel was a little above our normal budget but well worth it - we had a very enjoyable stay. Heraklion is a fascinating town with so much to see and do, fantastic restaurants and is an excellent base for exploring the north and middle of the island. The remarkable Heraklion Archeological Museum is only 100 m from the front door of the hotel, and the frequent local bus service to Knossos goes from a bus stops just a few metres away from the hotel entrance.

Capsis is an amazing hotel right in the centre of the city literally a 5 m walk to the high street and bar area! Pantelis the manager goes out of his way to make you feel art home while Mr Manolis the owner is ready to meet your every need. At Capsis you will get Cretan hospitality all the way and if you choose the 4th (top ) Floor, you can enjoy the best view of the city walls. Breakfast is amazing and all the employees are ready to meet your every desire, so kind, genuine and ready to serve you. Congrats!

We booked this hotel as we needed a base for a couple of days after flying into Heraklion at night and then getting the ferry to Santorini a couple of days later. We didn’t have any particular expectations for this accommodation, but we had a really lovely surprise.||When we arrived, the reception was clean, modern, and attractive. Check in was quick and easy- the staff were friendly. The room was nicely decorated and modern, with a lovely walk in shower. The air con worked perfectly and there was a fridge in the room for water etc. ||The location is perfect- a stones throw from the main town area. We didn’t find there to be any issues with noise- but perhaps we were lucky with our room. It is €10 to the port from the hotel if you get a taxi, and the hotel can call them for you almost instantly. ||We had a lovely afternoon by the pool- there was plenty of loungers, so no sun lounger wars. The pool is reasonably sized and deep, so you can properly cool off. We had a meal at the pool bar, both very good and reasonably priced (2 mains, 2 drinks €28). The portions were HUGE and we could have easily just shared one of the meals! ||Overall, we cannot fault our stay. It was incredibly good value for money- very easy, and great location. If you’re wanting a good base for exploring Heraklion, this is a perfect spot.

Overall quite a nice experience, the rooftop bar/pool is great! Drinks are very reasonably priced. We stayed four nights so had a pretty comprehensive experience with this hotel. Breakfast is as good as expected and the room was modern and quite clean. The only issue we had was the toilet mechanism had some hiccups and quite often there is no water when flushing. I asked for ironing equipment and they brought it to the room very quickly. It would be nice if the 2 bottled water were refilled during the daily room service, although one could pop downstairs and buy from the shop next door. It would have been a nice touch if the hotel took care of that.

I had a wonderfull stay in Cpsis hotel. Very nice and friendly staff, a perfect breakfast with loads off choises I recomend it big time for your stay in Heraklion centre 🌹❤️ My doggies enjoyed it to 🐾🐾

Perfect for our large group. Great location in downtown Heraklion next to the archaeology museum, a few blocks from the Venetian harbor. Surrounded by shopping and great restaurants. The rooftop pool and bar is the best part, and the staff there were so friendly and accommodating. Great breakfast, too.
