Pros
- Close to the center of Hersonissos
- Small pool with sunloungers
- Stocked kitchenettes in rooms
- Snack bar and restaurant on-site
- 24-hour pool bar
Cons
- On a noisy main road
- Complaints about buffet variety from all-inclusive guests
- No lifts; staircases are narrow, dark, and sometimes dangerous
- Rooms are dim and need refurbishing
- Rooms near the 24-hour pool bar are noisy
- Dorm-like rooms with moldy bathrooms
- Guests have complained about dirty mattresses and bed linens
Bottom Line
An extremely basic, hostel-like property close to all of lively Hersonissos’ attractions, Vasso is a budget option with a small outdoor pool. Reception staff is helpful but often absent. Rooms are dingy and drab, resembling institutional dorm rooms; some guests have complained about moldy bathrooms. There is a restaurant and 24-hour pool bar on-site, but the location is on a noisy main road and many guest have reported repeated cleanliness issues.

Scene
A basic budget hotel
In desperate need of TLC, this hotel by the side of a busy main road attracts young couples and solo travelers who spend nights clubbing in Hersonissos and days lazing by the small pool. Rooms with kitchenettes offer a welcome budget alternative to the dingy little snack bar serving basic food and drinks 24/7.
Location
On a busy main road on the outskirts of the lively resort of Hersonissos
Vasso is a five-minute walk from Hersonissos’ beaches, cafes, restaurants, and attractions. It's about a 15-minute drive to the lively party mecca Malia. The fabled Minoan remains of Knossos are about a half-hour away by car. The hotel is about an hour's drive from the laid-back beach resort town of Elounda, where boats depart to Spinalonga, the island featured in Victoria Hislop's bestselling novel.
Rooms
Desperately needing refurbishment but equipped with kitchenettes
Painted in shades of beige and muddy brown, twin and double rooms are dingy and drab, bathrooms are reportedly moldy, and beds are rock-hard. All rooms have a cramped balcony or terrace, small kitchenette with two ring stove, basic cooking utensils, kettle, and a fridge, but electric wiring is sometimes faulty. Pool view rooms also look out over a busy road. Guests seeking peace and quiet should choose rooms in the rear of this property with views over the olive groves and away from road, and the 24-hour pool bar.
Features
TV lounge, small pool, and 24-hour bar
Apart from a small TV lounge and a pay-on-demand internet corner, the features at Vasso are minimal. The highlight here is the small pool, which has plenty of sunloungers, but sits right next to a busy road. The snack bar/restaurants serves a range of bland buffet meals and snacks.
