Olive Green Hotel

Buon personale,buona posizione

Il bagno

Good hotel at a perfect location to the city center. Good breakfast and nice bar. Nice room with all the facilities available.

Some ants in the room.

Clean, modern rooms, friendly and efficient front desk, excellent breakfasts, nice balcony to sit in

The toilet, sink and shower were all separate from each other. The bar next door could be noisy at night although the soundproofing of the rooms works

Olive Green Hotel seems to have found the most amazing staff, they were all absolutely delightful, very capable, so welcoming, and very helpful, and super sweet to my little dog. The hotel is in a great location, with an easy walk everywhere, and a short walk from the bus station for anyone who is using that to get around. The room was very clean and comfortable, the internet speed was good, Air Conditioning was all you need to escape the heat, and the shower 'room' in my room was spacious. I had an early departure to catch a ferry, and they booked a really great driver for me, and organised a breakfast box that was waiting for me in the morning that was so generous I gave half of it to my driver because I couldn't carry everything (I was travelling with a dog and luggage + ferry 😉!). I ate the rest on the ferry and it was delicious. The staff at this hotel really are such an asset to the business, and I was blown away by how lovely they all were.

Unfortunately I didn't sleep well here, there was a lot of street noise that woke me up multiple times, including a car alarm that went off several times so I was exhausted in the morning. Also there was a bright light that randomly came on in the middle of the night from under/behind the bed that also startled me awake. I really wanted to stay here again on my return to Heraklion, and I would consider it again, but I recommend ear plugs (which is a problem if you need to hear your alarm for an early departure) and a sleeping mask. The shower didn't drain well, but I suspect much of Heraklion struggles with plumbing issues and there may not be much the hotel can do about it.
