The view was amazing and we had a large balcony. It was in the heart of old town and we had easy access to everything. Only thing negative was the wi-fi was slow but with the amazing view we did not mind. Breakfast was good. We would stay there again.

Property was clean and accessible to old town Chania. It is a great location and the view of the harbor was wonderful. We were in the "Duke" room which was more spacious than the "Lord" room my son rented. There is no elevator at the property, You must climb stairs and if you rent a car there is no parking associated with the property. Street parking is crowded and limited

We had a wonderful stay. The room was incredible! We did splash out for the sea view jacuzzi tub suite, and very glad we did so. Such a convenient location for good shopping, great restaurants, and seeing the older side of Chania. Really enjoyed the options at breakfast and learning all the local pastries and tears. Would absolutely stay again.

You couldn’t ask for a nicer room with a balcony overlooking the Venetian Harbor. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help us get taxis and a rental car. The breakfast buffet had a lot of options and was a nice way to start everyday.

Good hotel with awesome view.

Excellent stay with a wonderful view of the harbor. The breakfast is typical American & Mediterranean type. The terrace is good but the best view is from the balcony. Please be aware that there is no parking at the hotel and you must walk in from where the taxi drops you off… 100 yards.
