Kastro Hotel is a 3-star base in Heraklio Town, Greece, set on Theotokopoulou 22, a practical address for travelers who want to move around the city without complicated transfers. With a guest rating of 9.1/10 from 2,712 reviews, it’s consistently described as calm and comfortable, and many visitors mention that the soundproof rooms help them sleep well even when the city is active.
