Had a great time staying at the Marin hotel. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly, breakfast was great and hotel room was clean and nice. Great location in Heraklion also.

Great spot to catch the ferry - only a short walk

Demetrius at Reception was terrific! He spelled out perfectly all of our enquiries (where to park, where to eat, how to get to the ferry, etc.).
scott, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Close to port, excellent. But noisy for a ocean view room as right on the street AND airport where planes were taking off. Also close to the pedestrian street with tons of restaurants.
Sophie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice room with a great view and the breakfast was delicious. I would stay there again.
Douglas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I chose this property due to its proximity to the ferry terminal and only stayed one night. It was about a 15 minute walk from the ferry to the property, and check-in was easy. Breakfast options were plentiful and I especially appreciated the cappuccino machine and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Our room overlooked the harbor with a view of the fort. The hotel is no-frills but clean and has everything you need!
Vanessa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Near port and not far from popular areas. Good for an overnight or few nights stay.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is close to the airport just around the corner from the old port and a selection of restaurants and caffees.

Christopher, 1-night trip

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.

Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very helpful, both at front desk and at breakfast. Location was good for us - close to shopping and to the ferries. Only downside is that the rooms are very small. family room had 3 beds and very little floor space.
Heather, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

In a great location, very handy for the archaeological museum & close to the port & the bus station. Excellent Cretan restaurant (Plani) 3 minutes walk. The room was a bit small, but the bed was enormous. There was very little storage in the room.

Limited comfort

Sergio, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is nice but when they advertise a city view the room looks straight across the very narrow road looking into a block of houses. City view must mean seeing the city not a block of flats 4 meters away
Thomas, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

This place was worse than a Motel 6 in the US. There was black mold in the shower, and the lighting in the room was dim like in a horror movie. You could also hear people talking in the hallways and going in and out of their rooms. I wouldn’t stay here again.
Lani, 1-night trip

Only negative was fridge didn’t work. Only stayed 2 nights so didn’t worry about it but told them at checkout.

2 jour à Heraklion San Marin hotel octobre 2025

Accueil chaleureux. Chambre confortable et propre avec un très grand balcon. Bon lit. Très bon petit déjeuner. Des voisines bruyantes un soir tard cependant. Idéal pour visiter la ville à pieds et déambuler dans le centre piéton. Pas de parking mais un accord avec le parking central situé à 3mn à pied avec système de voiturier très efficace
