The hotel is located right in the center of the harbour, offering beautiful views over the harbor. The rooms are clean but small and can be noisy at night due to nearby bars. The breakfast buffet is great, and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The room, though on the top floor with a small balcony overlooking Chania, was sheer bliss and definitely worth the climb up 3 flights of stairs. The service was exceptional, with staff going the extra mile to ensure a memorable stay. The location couldn't have been better, right on the harbor with stunning views. The dining experience was plentiful and delicious. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms, with their own small terrace, were really different and interesting, making my stay beautiful, quiet, and nice. The service was exceptional, and despite a little noise from the surrounding restaurants, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and help with any requests. The location is unbeatable, being in the heart of Chania, Crete, close to the Old Venetian Harbor, and offering great views. The dining experience, especially the homemade offerings, was outstanding, although a bit less varied from previous visits. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with a room overlooking the bustling harbor ideal for sunrise views but disturbed by loud music until early morning. Service excels with extremely polite and helpful staff guiding on local attractions, though the dining options may disappoint with limited choices. The location is unbeatable, right on the harbor with stunning views and easy access to Old Chania. However, the on-site dining may not live up to expectations. A unique spot for energetic travelers seeking the heart of the city.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with stunning views and a cozy room that was a bit small but had a large four-poster bed. The service was exceptional, making me feel like a family member immediately. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to the harbor and Old Town Chania. The dining experience was top-notch with original dishes that were made with love. The facilities were well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay.
