Pool area could use face-lift
Located on the main street in Hersonissos,
Dimitrion Hotel is a mid-range hotel surrounded by shops and restaurants. The
venue offers full-board, half-board, and breakfast-only rates, but guests
have said that the food and drink options lack variety. All 93 rooms have
balconies, but rooms could benefit from more frequent cleaning while other areas
of the hotel, including the pool, are in need of a face-lift. The hotel has an
impressive fitness center, a chic lobby bar, and a pool bar with foosball and
billiards tables. Guests looking for a more quiet vacation may want to check
out Bellos Hotel Apartments, another mid-range hotel in a peaceful, countryside
location.****

Scene
Mix of modern spaces and some areas in need of renovation
The Dimitrion is attached to a modern ice
cream and Greek frozen yogurt shop with a pop deco vibe. The venue’s main
counter faces the street, and colorful chairs provide seating where customers
can enjoy the ice cream and watch street life. Inside, the gray-toned, minimalistic lobby is chic with funky feathered lights hanging over a sleek
bar. The on-site restaurant is decorated
more formally and has an outdoor seating area in need of a revamp. Outside, the
pool area seems a bit cramped and dreary, with lounge chairs lined up on the
concrete inside the enclosed area. The cute stone bar by the pool adds a nice
touch, however, and music is played there in the evenings. ****
Location
On a busy main street within walking distance of beach
The hotel is located on the main street in
Hersonissos, tucked between an ice cream shop and a souvenir shop. Other shops
and restaurants line the street, as do bars and discotheques. It’s also a short walk
to the beach, where water-based sports like jet-skiing and parasailing are available,
and it’s a 25-minute drive to Heraklion International Airport.
Historical attractions like the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Palace
of Knossos are a 30- to 35-minute drive west, while the Dimitrion itself
recommends visiting the historical museum in Lychnostatis, a short drive away. ****
Rooms
Large balconies, tiled floors, and infrequent cleaning
Guest rooms
have modern paint schemes, dark wood furniture, and tiled floors. The
balconies are quite large but a little dated. Still, all units have
wall-mounted flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Bathrooms have shower/tub
combinations and dated facilities that include gray tiles and mirrors in need
of a refresh. Guests reveal that the scheduled cleanings can be infrequent. ****
Features
Large fitness center and pool bar with evening music

Dimitrion has a big fitness center with three treadmills and a variety of
benches, free weights, and resistance machines. There’s also a tanning bed and
a small sauna. The hotel has an outdoor pool with a whirlpool and bar
with foosball and billiards tables, and small children enjoy the plastic playground equipment found on the property's lawn. Evening entertainment for adults includes poolside
music and karaoke. Visitors also have access to a lobby bar, an Internet
corner, and Wi-Fi throughout the property, though additional fees are applied forWi-Fi in guest
rooms. The on-site restaurant specializes in Greek cuisine and is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, providing full-board, half-board, and breakfast-only options. Still, guests have complained about the lack of variety with food and drinks.
