very friendly staff. There were some maintenance issues in the bathroom, such as extreemly slow sink draining and shampoo containers in shower were broken. Although many people relay on their own streaming services, it was suprising that with 24 channels, noe offered English progamming. An English news syation would have been nice. No elevator going up and down 2 sets of stairs a bit harder for the older folks. The check in clerk, did take them up for us.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
