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.

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.

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.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's a small hotel and it needs some renovations. The room isn’t soundproof at all; I could hear the neighbors all the time.

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.

Great!

Really great service, kind and welcoming personnel, and great room. The only negative thing I have to say is that the beds were a little too hard for me, but that’s a personal opinion. I have a pretty hard bed at home so I like them that way, but these were on the brink of to hard.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is located in a great location in the old town of Chania ! Very convenient on that end and the staff is nice. However we were disappointed by the hotel and its amenities which are very old and which you don’t see on the Expedia’s pictures because they did rebuild the facade of the hotel but not the inside. First, our room was on the ground floor, with no possibility of opening the window since it was a little outdoor area where some people come to sit, smoke a cigarette or dry their towels. And since we were on the ground floor we could hear the lady who was preparing the breakfast since there was a lady’s bathroom that got converted into a storage room next to us. Second, the breakfast is really basic.

Lovely location so convenient for walking and dining. Staff all extremely polite and friendly. Rooms spotlessly clean and breakfast very good. Our only criticism is the lack of a lift which meant my 80 year old husband having to carry heavy cases up 2 flights of stairs as we had a late arrival and no staff on duty.

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.
