We had a great stay at the Sea Lion. The apartment is new and very nice. It was located in a great spot that made everything we wanted to see and do easily walkable. We were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our room and provided us with room instructions and area recommendations for dining and sight seeing. Great Experience! We would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone!

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

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.

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.

Beautiful modern apartments
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!

Great hotel in a perfect location!
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.
