We had a great stay at the Sea Lion. The apartment is new and very nice. It was located in a great spot that made everything we wanted to see and do easily walkable. We were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our room and provided us with room instructions and area recommendations for dining and sight seeing. Great Experience! We would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone!

Stayed at City Lion by Semavi in a two story condo with the bedroom upstairs. The bed was comfy; however the shower is located next to the bed which was a little strange. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is not easy; however, there are parkades nearby.

We wish we had more time to stay at this lovely hotel! Smack downtown and minutes away from museum, harbor, great food and sightseeing. Our ground floor apartment had a garden and it was spacious, clean and with a very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The only caution I have is to not attempt to reach the place by your own car… very tight roads and nowhere to really park to unload so get a cab instead and ditch the car at the airport before you arrive.

We loved all of the features, the decor was beautiful and modern. The rooms had everything we needed and were very close to the main tourist area of downtown Heraklion. It was very easy to get to the ferry port the morning we checked out, it was only about 5 mins away by car. Perfect for our family 4.
