We only stayed one night. They let us store our luggage when we arrived early in the morning. The location is stellar, in the old town. But there was no parking, so we parked 15 minutes away and had to walk in with our luggage. Our room was large and clean.

Property is located in an excellent location No elevator and we needed to walk up two flights of stairs that were steep. Standard room category are rooms with windows facing back alleys No view!! Rooms with balconies are much nicer but non available for an up grade. Very basic breakfast Bread was fresh and delicious. Rooms were clean
Front of the hotel.   I wish there were bistro tables for guests in the front    Most hotels in old town chania had them.

The women running the property were lovely, especially Maria, the breakfast Chef. Each day she surprised us with delicious tasty Greek treats! Absolutely amazing. The property was clean and comfortable. No fault of management, there is some noise at night from the adjacent restaurants. A sleep app can drown it out though! The women were all great here and welcoming.

To noisy in the morning

Kind staff etc. The main entrance door to our room where not sound proff which made our 2 night not a relaxed stay specially at 05-10.00 o'clock in morning a lot of noice from the kitchen and people going up and down on the stairs. The rest a bit old. You asked us and we reply Hotels.com in an honest way.

Very nice and welcoming staff. The roof deck photos are misleading because it looks like it is a lounge area that serves meals or drinks, but there’s no furniture up there and they do not serve up there.

Very nice stay

Very nice hotel at the very good place. Excellent breakfast, big rooms and beautiful place. Only little thing there should have been A wine bottle ready in the room for silver client and there was not and there wasn’t anyone at the reception in the evening or in the morning before we left so we could not ask for that. But all the other things were great.

Great value

Well-situated hotel for old town Chania that is close to the lighthouse, shops and dining. No elevator, but bellman will assist during regular hours. (3 story hotel). Small bathroom. Fantastic service, we left both days before breakfast hours and hotel packed it for us the night before.

Beautiful hotel. Breakfast was wonderful. The lady at the front desk was phenomenal. We were staying with friends in Old Town Chania for a week and there are no cars within the city. She outlined a map and it was quite a walk with our suitcases but we never got lost. Great customer service. Tell her Thankyou.

Highly recommend 😊

Loved this hotel which is also in a perfect location just close enough to the harbour but set in a quieter location. On arrival there was a mix up with our room but once sorted we did not occur any other problems. Our room was lovely with comfy beds and pillows!! The walk in shower was delightful to come back too. All staff were friendly and exceptionally helpful. We would highly recommend and would definitely return back.
