Stylish Comfort in the Heart of Heraklion

Aquila Atlantis Hotel is the perfect base to explore Crete’s capital. Spacious, modern rooms, a great rooftop pool with harbour views, and an excellent breakfast. Friendly, professional staff made everything seamless. Walking distance to the port, museums, and old town, ideal for a city stay.

Short but sweet stay while passing through Heraklion, great location for archaeological museum, close to bus stop to Knossos, and walking distance to centre for restaurants and Venetian fort. Modern and clean, quiet room, great breakfast buffet with nice small internal courtyard to eat outside.

Stayed there in June 2025. Staff were fantastic. Hotel really good. Only thing I would have slightly criticised was the lack of water heating in the swimming pools. Still able to enjoy a swim, though. Otherwise, I couldn’t fault it at all.

The hotel was nice. The people did not do a good job with the parking situation. The booking clearly states that self parking is included in the booking. When we arrived the parking lot that has 15 spaces for a very large hotel, was completely full. We were told we could park in a different garage near by (5 min walk). This cost 10 eu a day. One advantage to booking this hotel was the availability of parking, and that was not the case upon check in. I would like it to be know that parking is NOT included in the booking as advertised.
