City lion was by far the best experience we’ve ever had in Greece.
The staff was so accommodating even months in advance, and were the friendliest people I’ve ever met.
The apartments themselves were very beautiful, Clean, Modern, and made you feel at home away from home.
They provided us with water, endless towels as needed, A crib for the baby, and were gracious to get the rooms ready for an early check-in.
We are already planning our next trip and will be staying at this specific hotel.
Thank your so much

2 beds and 2 bath with a large living room with big sofas. Only missing a washing machine. Laundry was mentioned on Expedia but it was actually not there. A few design issues such 2TVs were too close with each other so one remote starts 2 TVs. We arrived at 7AM the hotel gave us access code to the entrance to store our luggage which is nice. No clear instruction on garbage disposal.

Staff is very friendly and very accommodating. We could store our luggage at the beginning and the end of our trip to go enjoy the city. The place was immaculate and renovated. The hotel is near the city center and everything is accessible by foot.

The staff were fantastic! I loved the ease of accessing the building itself, and the room.
10.0 / 10.0
The apartment was new, clean and comfortable. We were able to order breakfast, lunch for delivery by a cafe used by City lion which was convenient. It's easy to walk to surrounding areas, shops, restaurants. We arrived at night and there is no parking near the building. Team member Chrissa was very helpful and lovely. She went with me to a car park a few minutes from the building and even went back with me a second time after I realised I had left my phone in the carpark.
10.0 / 10.0
Unfortunately, we only stayed one night. The staff member we dealt with (Chryssa??) was amazing and went above and beyond for us. She turned what could have been a negative experience in Heraklion mostly positive. Assisted us with a horrible vehicle rental return and got a a dinner reservation at a great restaurant. Arranged a taxi for the morning. Accommodations were great. Would highly recommend.
5.0 / 10.0
Really beautiful, modern apartments and the staff were really great. Plus it had a really helpful app. The closest parking lot isn’t far, but you do have to wind through some cobbled streets, so just be prepared if you have luggage. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back!

I travelled with a friend and our accommodations were very clean and comfortable and located just a very short walk to the centre of restaurants and shopping. It was very safe to walk around the area. We parked our car in a garage about a 10 min walk away and had absolutely no issues with parking. The managers of the hotel are very kind and accommodating people and we would definitely choose this hotel again!

My family's experience at the City Gate was nothing short of excellent. The rooms are meticulously clean, well designed and spacious. The two staff we interacted with (Karissa and Manos) are both exceptionally attentive and accommodating. The location is excellent and is about a 3 min walk to all the restaurants and shops. Hands down the best hotel that I've stayed at in all of Greece.

Very outstanding service and I want to say thank you to Carisa and Manos. They are extremely friendly and knowledgeable to solve every problem we face.

We stayed for three nights at this phenomenal hotel as a family of 4. So modern and clean. Spacious and lots of high end amenities from a Nespresso machine to toiletries. Beds are comfortable. Great housekeeping service. Perfect location to pedestrian pathways for shopping and dining in the centre of Heraklion. Fantastic customer service and recommendations from property management with special thank you to Effie and Manos for their hospitality.

Wow, this hotel. Our room had a spiral staircase leading up to a 2nd bedroom, a full kitchen, 3 balconies! Excellent location too, just minutes away from Lion Square and a ton of restaurant options. Christos the owner is very nice and helpful.

Property is very modern and comfortable. Plenty of space for a family of four. The concierge was lovely, booked our taxi to the airport for the next day. Worked like clock-work. This is the heart of the city, so parking is hard and navigating the tiny streets not easy. But, lots of stuff is walking distance. Hands down 5 stars,

We loved all of the features, the decor was beautiful and modern. The rooms had everything we needed and were very close to the main tourist area of downtown Heraklion. It was very easy to get to the ferry port the morning we checked out, it was only about 5 mins away by car. Perfect for our family 4.

My wife and I stayed three nights at this wonderful property. Our unit was modern, immaculate, and well appointed. It included a wrap around balcony and two floors (although we only needed the main floor). The price was right and it was located a few minutes away from the Venetian Morosini fountain and lively shopping area. Communication with the proprietors was easy...they responded to emy and were onsite during office hours. There were some terrific restaurants nearby serving tasty meals at a reasonable price.
We would stay here again when we revisit Iraklion.
8.0 / 10.0
Immediate area around the hotel is a bit residential but very close (250 meters) to Morosoni fountain which is a more tourist-friendly area with excellent food and streetwise shopping. Close to waterfront (0.5km) with an excellent boardwalk.
Apartment was modern, spacious and well appointed. Loved the two story setup of the two bedrooms with attached bathrooms. The balconies were nice with views of the water. Amenities were pretty good, except for the lack of a microwave. Stove was a bit tricky to figure out.
No breakfast provided but close to restaurants and grocery stores / super markets.
Apartment office communicated well over messaging, but the office itself is only staffed during business hours which was a bit inconvenient.

I lobed that it was central to the old town but it was on a quiet corner. Also, the apartments were excellent and the Hosts were also very friendly. I would definitely return with my family.
Thanks,
Sandra

This place is such an amazing find. The apartment is super modern, clean, and stylish. It is a two minute walk to central areas with excellent food and shopping. There is a great coffee shop right out the door. The staff obliged everything we asked for or needed. There is quite a bit of street noise until late at night so it might not be the best option for light sleepers, but in Europe, that is the prive of being very close by the city center.

The kind and helpful people at the CityLion apartments office made our stay in Heraklion a dream come true! Super friendly and SO competent!! A BIG thank you to Effie and Chryssa for always responding to any questions with a big smile and a can-do attitude! These guys are so genuine and incredibly nice and they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy!
The property is very central to amazing dining and shopping, but at the same time in a wonderfully quiet and safe neighborhood. Everything was super clean and new! The daily housekeeping was a bonus! Book City Lion for your stay in Heraklion and you won’t ever regret it!

We were very happy with our 6 night stay in a comfort studio. The room was comfortable and well furnished. The property is located on a quiet street less than a 5-minute walk from Lion Square. Christos, the owner and his staff were very attentive, helpful and responsive to our requests. We highly recommended this accommodation.
