"We only spent one night here and arrived in the evening. The hotel is very nice and had a small restaurant where we had dinner. The pool was lovely and clean and we were able to find parking for our rental car. I would have booked this hotel again on our return to Heraklion, but it was full and we couldn't get a reservation. It's convenient to the port and the airport. "

"Friendly welcome, good location. We had a slight issue in that the shower head clip (to attach to the pole) was missing, I mentioned it to reception and it was dealt with immediately. Breakfast was basic as I expected for the price."

"An absolutely wonderful hotel! We spent two weeks staying here and it was excellent.
When I booked this holiday, I did so at fairly short notice without looking in great detail at the different options. This hotel was affordable and looked good but given the price, I wasn't necessarily expecting much. I was so surprised at how beautiful it was.
The breakfast is served at a nearby cafe and the food is gorgeous. The square outside the cafe is coming towards the end of its renovations but it's...

"Great location near the core of the old city. Easy walk to the shops and restaurants. Parking while limited was super convenient and close. Clean and modern room. The only observation with the room was there was limited space to lay our suitcases for easy access but in reality, not a big issue."
"Great experience. Perfect location with view of the harbor and near incredible archeology museum. Staff was welcoming and always helpful. Lovely room. "
"Rooms very comfortable. Raki was a nice touch with the snack. All staff to be commended. Did find the draft beer price high; sorry to say. Housekeeping efficient. Front desk very helpful and pleasant. Breakfasts were great variety"
"We spent an incredible week at Arina hotel in October , 2025. The room on the first line was spacious and clean, the seaside view and a private pool & sun beds were great.
The reception team Natia, Giorgios and all went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
The evening shows were a real fun especially with entertainment team, dancers and performers. Appreciated that, as there was literally nothing to do or to go to outside the hotel
The food at main restaurant was diverse and delicious, and huge props to the restaurant manager Giorgio and all the staff for their hard work.
Many thanks to the superstar bartenders for the perfect service. Marina, Olga, Myrto, Dimitri, Panagiotis- cheers
I'd highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and fun getaway. Thank you Arina Hotel, hope to come back soon."
"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."
