Lena and Ilias gave the most warm welcome! The hotel was so quaint and beautiful views. So close to the old town and very amazing breakfast! Definitely would recommend for anyone but especially first timers they gave us so much insight on the island and even gave us a ride from the airport and to a beach club:)

I couldn't reccomend a better hotel. The staff were lovely, they were happy to help us with anything and everything that we needed for our trip. They told us the best places to eat for authentic food. Showing us their favourite restaurants and cafes. The breakfast in the morning was fresh and delicious. Tea and coffee available at any time of the day and home baked cake. The hotel was clean and the balcony view was fantastic. If you are looking for something authentic i couldn't reccomend this place more.

Ideal base to explore Western Crete

Overlooking the Agean sea and the old city of Chania this place is true gem. Small family ran affair, with large rooms, good breakfast and amazing views. Slept with windows open, no problems with noise. 30min walk to the city center or 5 min drive. Kind, extremely helpfull host!
