The hotel had a fresh feel to it and was extremely comfortable after a long flight. The only issues were parking, but we did find a lot a few blocks away and also the flight of stairs up to our room, a little more than we were used to especially with luggage. Otherwise a really good find and we shall use it again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious, featuring high-quality amenities and a well-designed interior. However, there were a few drawbacks. The shower tended to leak water outside, though this can be mitigated with careful use. Additionally, while the breakfast offerings were fresh, the variety was limited and could be improved. On a positive note, the coffee was excellent. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

Didn’t have the best experience… number of issues from day 1, told we’d get some form of compensation but never did. Smaller issues came up throughout the stay which just contributed to the poor experience. Examples - water cut off two days in a row whilst mid shower, had to miss dinner reservations whilst waiting for it to be fixed, AC wasn’t working on day 1, had to ring multiple times to get someone to look at it, they weren’t entirely sure and said the ceiling fan would be enough which I pushed back on, miscommunication between staff - would agree something with one member of staff who wouldn’t pass it on so therefore I was having to call numerous times chasing things up or I would’ve ended up getting called and questioned (late checkout was agreed to a certain time, had a phone call twice during the time we were meant to have our room to ask us when we’re going)

This hotel is bizarre. At a glance, the chic design is hugely appealing and the spot just outside the city centre seemed quite but close. However, a bunch of small oddities added up to a hugely disappointing experience. First, the room’s air conditioning was blowing hot air and on the third floor, this made the room stifling when we arrived. After attempting a ton of fixes of the remote, we asked the front desk about it and didn’t receive a clear answer as to why or possible solutions outside of a generic “we’ll look into it”. It was not into. On a second ask, we were informed that the AC only turns on after May. While I understand heat tolerance is different, it seemed like a huge oversight for a city that can get really hot in April. This experience domino’d into a bunch of strange things out of place: no place to hang your bath towels, bed side lights that weren’t wired up, unbelievably loud construction starting at 7:30 am, comically thick pillows which couldn’t be swapped because the staff didn’t know where the pillows were kept, and an ice cold shower on our last night because apparently the building had run out of hot water. The whole place seemed like it was in a trial/training phase. Of course some of the design was nice. The shower was great when the water was warm and the materials and colours used in the room were certainly pleasing but it all felt like it was designed around being photographed instead of slept in.

Great location near the city center. Not so great if you rented your own vehicle. Also had an issue where the shower had no pressure for the hot water that ruined what would have otherwise been a great stay. Great breakfast for the morning to.

L'hôtel était parfait ,les chambres ravissantes et très propres , le personnel agréable . On peut se rendre à pieds dans le centre qui est très près . Le seul inconvénient , quand on vient en voiture c'est l'étroitesse des ruelles et la quasi impossibilité de stationnement .Il y a un garage payant sur la grande route aui conduit aux ruelles étroites et pas très moin à pieds de l'hôtel . Il faudrait , peut-être , que l'hôtel l'indique au moment de la location de l'hébergement !

When entering the room, the power should have turned on when the room key was inserted into the holder. However, it was later revealed to be a contact failure, yet they irresponsibly blamed it on a regional power supply issue.

I loved this property. Nice breakfast offered and a comfortable room with a big king bed. The shower and toilet are in two separate closet type areas at the foot of the bed with the sink and vanity between them. A bit weird, but it works. My one complaint with this B&B as well as most of the B&B‘s in Crete was the plastic mattress protector that they use on the mattress. I can never sleep through the night without waking in a soaking sweat when they are used. I would like to suggest quilted fabric mattress protectors for the hotel. Much more upscale and can be laundered easily. It is a bit unfair to pick on this one Hotel regarding this issue because it exists in most of them. This hotel is in a great location and it’s a fun place to stay.
