Hotel Mirabello

Iraklio


Despite its dated, plain-Jane looks, this friendly and low-key hotel offers excellent value for money. Assets include squeaky-clean rooms with modern bathrooms, beds with individual reading lamps, a fridge and a kettle, plus a location close to, well, everything. The nicest units have a balcony.

There's no breakfast, but coffee and a few assorted pastries are offered.
