The room was excellent, and the tables in the courtyard made it possible to have a nice al fresco breakfast and evening drink. It would have been nice though to have the supply of tea and water replenished regularly - I stayed for four nights, and was down to my last teabag on my last morning in. ##### Jan Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathi Oct 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Truly a lovely hotel in an old and beautiful home that once belonged to the owners great grandparents.

A wonderful oasis in city - Highly recommend! ##### Diane Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved my stay at Porta Medina. It really made my time at Heraklion a pleasant one. The room was big and spacious, good hot water and shower pressure. Nice touches like coffee pod machine, water carafe, beautiful courtyard and wonderful artwork dotted around the property. Thomas was very helpful to me and a lovely resident artist. Staying at the property, I realise it is something really special with historical references to the Ottoman period and an old water well (now covered over for safety reasons). If I was going to be picky on one thing, there was a little bit of mould in the shower. It wasn’t a big deal and the place is absolutely immaculate otherwise. ##### Brittany Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arzu Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities unique boutique hotel with a nice touch of history ##### Arzu Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virgil Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Close to everything in the best part of the city. ##### Virgil Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Asha Oct 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful, helpful staff ##### Asha Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Really lovely old hotel.

Parking is not so near, especially for anyone with mobility problems and the hotel does not offer any catering, not even breakfast, so you need to go out to "start your day". ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### alice Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location with plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Small room but is reasonably okay for just a night. ##### alice Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Jul 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

The room was clean, spacious, stylish & comfortable - the bed was a little soft but thats personal preference. Communication for our late arrival was good, we had no worries about arriving after 11pm. We would definitely stay the next time we're in heraklion. ##### lorraine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kyle Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not adults only? Everything about the experience was great, except listening to screaming children in the room above us until 1am. We thought the property was adults only, so felt misled. Otherwise a beautiful property in a great part of the city. ##### Kyle Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shaun Jun 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Walkable to the port, shopping, and dining. Very nice renovated villa. Quiet building. Street noise can be loud and planes fly over, but settles down around 11\. We were happy to stay here and not the normal touristy places. ##### Shaun ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Divani Meteora Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalabaka-Hotels-Divani-Meteora-Hotel.h1828511.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Blue River](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-River-Hotels.d181758.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Symphony Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Symphony-Suites.h38257893.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel Vancouver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Vancouver-Downtown.h21807.Hotel-Information) > > [The Murray Premises Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-The-Murray-Premises-Hotel.h1707879.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiani Beach Resort Family](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Kiani-Beach-Resort-Family-All-Inclusive.h3998357.Hotel-Information) > > [Milos Cove](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Milos-Cove.h22353390.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.ca/Amsterdam-Hotels.d178229.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Artemis Seaside Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Artemis-Deluxe-Rooms.h7632792.Hotel-Information) > > [Super Paradise Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mykonos-Hotels-Super-Paradise-Suites.h12245279.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel Filoxenia](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalamata-Hotels-Grecotel-Filoxenia-Hotel.h1466348.Hotel-Information) > > [Nana Golden Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Golden-Beach-All-Inclusive.h15277485.Hotel-Information) > > [Calilo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ios-Hotels-Calilo.h33318162.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Domes-Zeen-Chania.h25749963.Hotel-Information) > > [White & Co.
