8/10 Very good

Nice modernised hotel. Relatively small, but really well located at the top of the old town, overlooking a relatively busy junction so on a weekend/busy week night it is slightly loud, not overbearing but sound does leak into the rooms. Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Room was modern, clean and big enough.

Had a late check in 11.30pm, 24hr reception was very helpful. 8 minutes in taxi from the airport. We even had a late dinner downstairs. Very close to walking of everything - shops, restaurants and easy access in n out. Free parking across the street of hotel. Breakfast was preorder with a wide selection, coffee- Yum! We will return!

8/10 Very good

The rooms and hotel were nice and very centrally located. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We just had a couple of negatives which knocked it down from an ‘excellent’ review. Our daughter and her friend got locked out of the hotel at 1am as the hotel front door shut and the member of staff wasn’t there so my husband had to go down and get them let in (main issue), we tripped the electrics in our room (room 203) with the hotel provided iron, the shower was a bit of a slip hazard (needs an anti slip mat) and the kettle had a leak in the bottom.

Excellent hotel in a good position in Heraklion. Our second stay - rooms are comfortable and well equipped, breakfast was large (too large for us) and meals in the restaurant were excellent. Staff are really helpful and very friendly. The one downside is the parking - close a car park but always full. Great hotel will stay again if on Crete.

The people at Sunny Villas are great!! They go out of their way to make sure the guests are taken care of and will help with whatever is needed. The hotel has the best views of both the famous Santorini sunset and the Caldera… very tranquil and peaceful. Would highly recommend Sunny Villas to anyone looking to stay in Santorini

This was our third stay at this hotel. We enjoy the comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff and the good breakfasts. It is well placed inside the walls of the old town and in easy walk to good restaurants (if a bit touristy) and some good coffee shops and so on. The shopping area is great (so my wife tells me) although we don't do much of that while we are there. Previously we have taken a car but parking around the hotel is difficult so this time we left the car and used taxis and buses as necessary. If you want a comfortable room with good facilities and a king size bed this could be for you. We recommend.

We had an amazing time at Legacy. The staff helped to make it perfect. The food was awesome, but so much of it. Breakfast was fresh Cretan pastries and jams. We added fresh cooked eggs! It was close to shopping and the Lion Square.

Congestion in and around Heraklion is insane. We stayed 4 days and had to park our car a mile away and walk back and forth. ZERO available parking near this hotel. The hotel needs to figure this out because the current situation is unacceptable. This is most unfortunate because the hotel itself is fantastic! Great staff, great room and close to a lot of shopping and dining options (walking). The construction outside added to the congestion and created a noisy and dirty enviro-ment outside the hotel. This is not the hotels fault, but it does contribute to the overall feeling of the stay.
