Iraklio's finest!
Fantastic hotel, surely one of the best in Iraklio! We were here for two nights had absolutely no complaints. Very clean, super comfortable bed, fantastic location (within easy walking distance to the ferries, bus station, and most restaurants and shops in the city. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Our favorite part, however, was the fantastic breakfast buffet. This was NOT just some bland scrambled eggs beneath a heat lamp. This was one of the most elegant breakfast spreads I've ever seen. An incredible selection of fresh pastries, breads, and other baked goods, not to mention both hot and cold options. It was great to fill up and then head out to see the sights on a full stomach. I highly recommend this hotel!

Very nice hotel in great location
Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel but especially for breakfast room. The breakfast buffet itself was really very nice indeed. Hotel in great location for exploring the town and its many excellent restaurants or the brilliant archaeological museum or the lovely harbour/seafront.

Highly Recommend
We really enjoyed our stay at Megaron Hotel, the location was excellent, the service was always friendly, helpful and informative. We had a city view room which was quiet, clean and had a very comfortable bed. We had difficulty using our safe and one of the plug became detached which was inconvenient but overall our stay was excellent, highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel! Good location for walkable access to City Center, bus station and Marina. Staff is unbeatable! Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. No "weak links". Breakfast Buffet is excellent. Parking is included, but limited, so when full, hard to access. Great deal for the $$$.

Verified Expedia guest review

10/10 Exceptional

The Megaron is a beautiful hotel with comfy beds and everything and everywhere was immaculate; I think you could have eaten off the floor of the lobby bathroom. The breakfast spread was a daily work of art not to mention the best orange juice I've ever had. A nice, filling, leisurely breakfast formed the solid foundation of many good days. What really made the Megaron special was the staff. Every single person we interacted with, including at both restaurants, could not have been nicer or more helpful. We visited over Thanksgiving, so off season, and I feel like we got way more value than we paid for. I was a little sad the pool was already closed but, to be fair, it would have been a pretty chilly swim. The hotel location is easy to drive to and a convenient to walk to everything we wanted to do, plus just steps away from a city bus that takes you straight to Knossos for just 2.50. My only words of warning are that the jacuzzi tub in our room was tricky to climb in and out of so keep that in mind if your mobility is restricted, also they don't provide conditioner along with the shampoo so pack accordingly. I loved the Megaron, Heraklion, and Crete in general. Two thumbs up!
