In 30 years of traveling, this was the most accommodating hotel I have ever stayed at. 10/10 all around. There were two women in particular, I wished I had their names, but they attended to every detail of my stay. If they are reading this, thanks again from Ohio!

Wonderful, stylish, small hotel. The staff were amazing and very helpful and friendly but subtle. Views of the harbour and lighthouse are fantastic and there are super dining options a few steps away. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

There was no parking close to the hotel and long walk with luggage to get there. No elevator from ground to 1st level. Breakfast was so so.

This hotel is in the absolute best location in Old Town Chania putting you in the center of all the action and the best views whether you like people-watching or staring at the sea. The room decor and amenities were definitely among the best I have seen. Everyone on the staff was cheerful, courteous and always going the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The breakfast spread was amazing too. We had an early check out at 4 AM and they made sure to send us off with a packed breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. The closest parking spots are a short stroll away but we didn't mind it at all because you can enjoy the beautiful views of the lighthouse or take in the charming narrow streets and pet the cats on your walk from your car. We would definitely stay here again to be in the heart of Old Town Chania and explore the countless beaches and eating spots along the coast.

Boutique hôtel plein de charme. Chambre très belle décorée avec goût. Balcon donnant sur le vieux port, magnifique vue ! Attention au bruit en pleine saison, nous étions en avril et le vendredi soir on entendait les basses des bars. Petit déjeuner agréable, fait maison Le personnel est très sympa. Emplacement parfait dans la vielle ville. Un peu cher quand même pour de la basse saison.

The property and the rooms are beautiful, the breakfast they offer has a lot of variety and was delicious. The only thing to note, because it’s in an older building you can hear a lot of stomping if you have rooms above you. One night it was extremely loud while we were there. Also another thing to note, they do have an elevator but it’s only once you walk up a steep flight of stairs to get to the first floor. So keep that in mind if you bring heavy luggage you will need to bring it up 1 flight up steps.
