Basically like staying at a hostel with your own (dirty shower) bathroom. No room amenities like a a coffee maker. Get two bottles of water then have to pay 1€ each after.

Good hotel but need a proper overhaul
We stayed for one night, as we were taking the ferry the next morning and this hotel is at one of the best spots in the town. This is an old building and needs a proper overhaul, especially since the bathroom is very old. It is good for a one-night stay. Breakfast is on the top floor overlooking the port and provides one of the best views on the island! Breakfast is ok, not bad.

Very close to port and other main areas of town. Easily accessible on foot and also close by bus stop.
Rooms are small and tidy with basic amenities.

The room was ok. The pillows were like rocking chairs though. (Head kept rocking back and forth because they were so uneven.) The bed was very hard but my husband liked it, so maybe not the worst for everyone. But the bathroom was not great. The shower leaked and the floor was filthy. The rest of the room wasn’t cleaned very well either. Found hair on the pillowcases when we first arrived. The location is great, however. And the check in was easy.

Walls covered in spatter of bodily fluids ?vomit ?blood a hair also. Bathrooms need renovated badly. Air conditioning turns off in the middle of the night (this occurred in our friends room also so it is a deliberate cost saving measure by staff) incorrigible given the heat.
Drain clogged and not draining water in shower. Mould in shower.
Was cheap. But definitely cheap and nasty. 1 night only for sure or find elsewhere.

Rooms were nice and clean but there was some visible wear to some of the furniture and bathroom. Staff were friendly and the hotel is very centrally located for the city centre and bus links to Knossos and the airport.

Breakfast came as a pleasant and unexpected free promo/gift from the hotel. The receptionist was great. The only problem was the shower because water is not well directed to the drain so it leaked to the room.
