excellent stay
Capsis is an amazing hotel right in the centre of the city literally a 5 m walk to the high street and bar area! Pantelis the manager goes out of his way to make you feel art home while Mr Manolis the owner is ready to meet your every need. At Capsis you will get Cretan hospitality all the way and if you choose the 4th (top ) Floor, you can enjoy the best view of the city walls. Breakfast is amazing and all the employees are ready to meet your every desire, so kind, genuine and ready to serve you. Congrats!

Excellent location and very comfortable stay in the heart of Heraklion
We had a great stay at Capsis Astoria during our visit to Heraklion. The location is fantastic, right in the city center, making it very easy to explore the old town, restaurants, shops and main attractions on foot. It’s also very convenient if you want to visit places like the Archaeological Museum or take a short trip to Knossos. The rooms are recently renovated, modern and comfortable, and everything was very clean. The breakfast buffet was also very good, with a nice variety of options and fresh products. The staff was friendly and welcoming and always happy to help with recommendations about the city. Overall, a very good choice for a city hotel in Heraklion. The combination of location, comfort and service makes it a great base for exploring the city.
Updated & clean with amazing rooftop
I’m so glad we chose to stay here in Heraklion. The hotel itself is well maintained and very clean, and located within walking distance of all the museums, historical sites, and shopping in Heraklion. The rooms are attractive and updated, with comfortable beds and with great AC air conditioning. The breakfast buffet has many options and is good for “buffet food.” I absolutely love the rooftop pool/bar/restaurant- this is a perfect place to relax and enjoy tasty food & drinks after a day of traveling or exploring. The rooftop offers 360* views of the island and the ocean- making it an amazing place to watch the sunset. I highly recommend this hotel - for this price I only expect a clean/plain room, but the Capsis Astoria has rooms that are updated and somewhat “stylish” and access to an incredible rooftop pool/bar/restaurant/lounge area.
Excellent hotel in the centre of Heraklion
We stayed for a week and just couldn't fault this hotel. Lovely room and staff and reasonably priced too. The room had a good shower, comfortable bed, effective Aircon and plenty of space. The TVs had Netflix available and many channels including some English speaking. On the roof is the swimming pool and a bar and restaurant that serves excellent food. The view from the roof is 360 degrees and great for watching the sunrise and sunset. There are two lifts. Both are quite small and slow but were adequate and always working. Downstairs there is a cafe at the back which is open to the public. Breakfast is served on a dedicated breakfast floor and we found it to be an extensive spread. It is buffet style with both hot and cold food available. It is well managed with plenty of staff. The hotel is situated in the centre of Heraklion and is just a couple of minutes' walk from the main shopping and eating areas. It is also across the road from the archaeological museum. Overall, a really enjoyable place to stay. We will return next time we're in Heraklion.

Exceptional and amazing
The hotel is lovely very friendly and staff very helpful. The room is very clean and spacious. The breakfast is continental and lots of choices. The rooftop pool is amazing. Lovely view of Crete from the rooftop pool. The food is great and lots on your plate. Lots of shops nearby, lots of restaurants to eat out. Lots of places to visit. The hotel is very central to everything. The atmosphere is great. Value for money. The service is amazing. No noise level. The airport is only 15 minutes. The port is nearby if you want to catch a ferry to Santorini.
