"Great location, great staff, fantastic breakfast! Highly recommend. Only issue is parking because old town Chania is not accessible by car, so you have to find parking about a 1/2 mile away and walk. Still worth it, just be prepared for the parking spot hunt. (We found parking garage, and paid about 25€ a day)"

8/10 Good
"Great hotel overall in a perfect location. Very well maintained. Would recommend! However parking is only available if there are spots… it’s a pretty small parking so expect to have to look for street parking sometimes. We were able to find street parking!"
