Sadly, this review does not allow me to highlight some of the actual benefits of this property. The greeting was amazing the place as a fantastic façade and very inviting, but sadly, the rooms are very dated, and there is housekeeping products all over the floors. The rooms are extremely dated and the crew covers are disgusting and should be replaced immediately. It was what I required, which is absolutely location to the port for an early morning ferry. It did not help the strikes on time whilst this is not the Hotel’s fault. It did add sadly to the dissatisfaction.

Sher gut gelegenes, ruhiges Hotel in der Nähe des Hafen von Heraklion. Nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß zum Hafen, um unsere frühe Fähre zu erreichen. Alles top

Fantastic. Dubious at first, but probably the closest thing to an airport hotel, with good basics you can’t take for granted in Crete, like a hairdryer, great AC, extra towels, and it was scrupulously clean. Close to pharmacy, bakery, supermarkets, and the divine restaurant Taverna Vardis. Luggage storage, a cafe, nice patio kind of lounge for drinks even if facing the main road. Offered a breakfast you order the night before. For the breakfast, they set your table and have it waiting at the time you select. Good food, French Press style coffee. My mother was discharged from the hospital (hip replacement) straight to the hotel and they were SO helpful. Gave us privacy and support where we needed it. Tiny lift but worked a treat.

The staff was professional and helpful. Everyone wore masks and hygiene was a top priority. The rooms were clean, cool, and quiet.

We liked the bed and the balcony. Their elevator is a tad small.

This hotel is well situated for Heraklion port. We were able to walk to the port for our early morning ferry to Santorini. The hotel was clean and staff very helpful. We were in room 101 which is directly above reception and a view of the port. My only comment would be is that the bathroom is tiny. But hey ho that’s the Greece we love.

Very comfortable beds, view of harbour from our balcony. Helpful staff, good location. I would recommend the menu breakfast rather than the buffet which is expensive.

We were back at the Life Hotel for the fourth time within a few months, this time to see the Minoan and Mycenaean exhibition at the Archaeological Museum. I needed to do the short trip into town by bus because of my wife's problems with the last steep pinch of the walk. Joanna was on Reception. She explained exactly how to use the ticket machines. I needed to print off my boarding passes for the flight home. The pleasant-mannered lady proprietor was on Reception. She explained exactly how to email her the passes for printing. Every request was handled with courtesy and charm. The location is two bus stops from the city centre and on the road to the airport. It was for us a real find.

The hotel is in a walking distance from the port, the coach station and bus station. The room was at all times clean and tidy .Breakfast was very good ( exceeded expectations). Staff were very polite, friendly and happy to assist with any enquiries and questions on a 24/7 basis. Visitors can walk to city centre and visit archaeological sites or any other sites of interest , as the town has a lot to offer in terms of night life, sites of interest or even shopping. The sea is also very close( walking distance).Visitors can also take the coach ( coach station is in a 5 minutes walking distance) and escape to other areas of interest or the beach. Overall an excellent hotel , in a great location, with excellent service and staff. Hotel price was really a bargain.
