Our take
Lena scores 8.4 from about 900 reviews, a reliable result for a modest two-star. Its quiet street in central Heraklion, 500 metres from the harbour and 2 km from the airport, makes it a practical stopover before or after island hopping. Rooms are warmly decorated and comfortable, with a lounge and a breakfast area. Facilities are basic, so I would book it for one or two nights rather than a long stay.
- ✓Take advantage of the hotel's central location to explore Heraklion's sights on foot.
- ✓If you're planning island excursions, the harbour is conveniently close for ferry departures.
- ✓Enjoy the complimentary Wi-Fi to plan your daily adventures or stay connected with home.

Why guests love itLena is a two-star family hotel in a quiet street of central Heraklion, opened in 1977 and fully renovated in 2004. The harbour is about 500 metres away, handy for families catching a ferry to the islands, and the airport is only 2 km off. Rooms are warmly decorated and comfortable, there is a lounge for downtime, and breakfast is served in its own area. I would choose it as a simple, well-placed family base for a short stay in Heraklion.
