Central Hersonissos Hotel in Hersonissos

Nice hotel in good location,friendly staff and good food

The hotel is in a quiet location, just off the main road, so there's no noise at night time from bars etc. All the staff at the hotel were really friendly and helpful. When I first arrived, it was quite late and had an issue with the air-conditioning not working. I went across to the reception, and someone came over to fix it right away! They had also saved me some light salad/ cheeses/ meats as it was past the dinner time, which I thought was really nice. Special shout outs to Genti the barman, who was really funny; friendly and helpful, Elli and Yannis at reception, and the waiting staff at breakfast and dinner all lovely, friendly and helpful as I was travelling solo. They are all there to answer any questions you may have. The bar prices are really reasonable, €3.50 (£3.06) for a glass of local wine! The breakfast and dinner were also good, plenty of variety. But I am not a fussy eater, so there was always something I could eat. Pool area is very quiet and doesnt really get much sun in the day time until later, I only spent my first day around the pool and was alone most of the time, the rest of the time I went to the beach or excursions. There is also a book shelf to borrow a book to read whilst on holiday. My room was across in the Annex building, but was perfectly clean for a 3* hotel. There is a small fridge which was a little noisy but that's to be expected. And the balcony faced the street but again, not much noise on a night time. It does mention that towels are only cleaned once every 2 days, but in a 7 day-stay, I think my bedding was only changed twice, so the cleaning schedule is a bit sporadic. This was my only issue. There are plenty of supermarkets, pharmacies, and public transport nearby. Nearby one of my favourites to visit was Mare Mio beach and resto, €10 for a sunbed for the day and the food was lovely. I can also recommend a visit to Knossos Palace and Heraklion and Spinolonga island with Elounda and Agios Nikolas. Thanks for a great stay! You made a solo traveller feel very welcome :)

Breakfast and dinner were very good, and you could also sit outside and relax. There weren't many seats inside, though.
The hotel is divided into two buildings, so you might have to change buildings (across the street) to get to reception or eat your meals. But that didn't bother me. The manager also lends a hand, whether at dinner or at reception late in the evening. All the staff are very polite and take good care of the hotel guests. I was even spoken to in German once or twice.
The staff could have asked me about drinks at dinner, but I'm not deducting a point for that. Perhaps it's intended that hotel guests eat in peace and approach the staff about it themselves.
The beach promenade with several bars is not far from the hotel (a 5-10-minute walk), and kiosks and a bus station (used by both tour operators and public transport on Crete) are just a 3-minute walk away.
The room was nice and had a balcony. It's also worth mentioning that the hotel also has a small pool.
I paid around 100 euros for 3 nights (breakfast and dinner included), and the price is truly unbeatable.

We would be very happy to return to this hotel. The staff were all lovely, in the office and in the dining room. We were well taken care of. Thank you to all of your helpful staff.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It is a small hotel, which is why it has a family atmosphere.
The food is really very good for the price and there is a hot buffet for breakfast. For dinner, the hot offerings vary from day to day, which is very refreshing.
The rooms are simply furnished and include a fridge and air conditioning, everything works perfectly. Otherwise, the rooms are always very clean.
The location is ideal, the walk to the shopping street is very short, and the beach is just behind it. You can reach everything on foot, but we didn't experience any noise.
All in all, perfect if you want to lie on the beach during the day and not just spend your vacation in the hotel. The people are all incredibly friendly, which was very nice.

Property is off main shopping street in quiet area. Few minutes walk to both shopping and seafront
Excellent value for £. Very clean. Wi-fi throughout and fridge in the room.

We stayed in this hotel for 7 days in July of 2024. Here is a short recap and a recommendation:
-location: 3 minutes walking distance to the main street, 5 minutes from first beach, still always so quite and peaceful.
-accommondation: Bigger rooms than we expected. Never saw anyone coming in our room, but still floor was always washed and towels changed every 2 days.
-restaurant: Eating by the pool with sounds of violin and guitar during dinner was very nice. Great choice of food, never standing in line or waiting for a table. Got a big 'breakfast to go' early in the morning before our flight.
-staff: Beautiful people, always smiling, fast, kind, willing to give you recommendations and answer on all your questions.

To conclude, sending a big thank you to people in this hotel and recommending it to everyone!
