Kofinas, Gortyna hotel rooms at the Independent

"very good"

"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."

"I loved absolutely everything a about my experience! This was my very 1st time in Crete and the hospitality was second to none! The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was wonderful!! I'd love to visit again! "

"Very good "

"On a quick visit to Crete we stayed here and enjoyed the property. The hotel and rooms were spotless. Breakfast has good warm and cold options with fresh fruit and cafe quality coffee options. Its located very close to the city center of Heraklion, very easy walking to shopping and dining options. The view from our balcony was not great, but we were doing more exploring than sitting in the room. The neighborhood might appear to have some run down areas, but it felt really safe. Would highly recommend this property."

"The staff was super helpful and friendly. Great place to stay if you need to take a flight or ferry. Location is very close. "

"Very beautiful property. Close to everything. When driving around, expect lots of traffic. "

"Room was beautiful, clean and well stocked with drinks. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely resort. "

"Excellent breakfast. A bit dated. But large room with all the amenities. Very clean!"
