Ionas HotelKallinikou Sarpaki & Sorbolou Old Town, 73100 Chania (Show map) Very good, Score from 56 reviews“The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated - we loved the jacuzzi in the bathroom. The roof terrace was a real bonus as well as the pretty courtyard. The hotel is fairly small and boutique in style. There is no bar or restaurant, but this was no problem.”

Ionas Hotel is a carefully restored historical home, located in the heart of the Old Town of Chania. Ionas is a perfect base for guests wishing to explore authentic Chania. The Venetian and Ottoman elements of this charming building have been restored and thoughtfully recreated to celebrate its heritage. Even the core walls of the building date back to 1538. The heart of the house showcases a staircase that has been carefully crafted from wood and iron to create a fine example of classic design. The decorative touches of stain-glass windows add to the unique beauty of Ionas Hotel. However, modern luxuries have not been ignored and each spacious room is equipped with a separate bathroom, featuring a Jacuzzi or hydro-massage shower. The hotel is also fully air-conditioned throughout. Ionas Hotel is just 110 yards from the harbor, with many of Chania’s monuments and museums within a short walking distance. The local markets, cafes and restaurants provide plenty of afternoon and evening entertainment. Hotel Rooms: 9

The hotel is conveniently situated in the old town, few steps from the marina and the restaurants aria, but in a very quiet street, which is a big advantage. Especially exciting for people who are interested in history is that the house was built in the Venetian times, rebuilt during the Turkish ruling and the renovation in the recent years was carefully held in order to keep the beauty of the old building. The owners offered grate hospitality. We can highly recommend this hotel!

The location is great. It is close to the bus depot, harbor, shops, and restaurants. Plus, a walkable distance to the beach. Our room was rather small. Everything was nice, but a little small.

The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated - we loved the jacuzzi in the bathroom. The roof terrace was a real bonus as well as the pretty courtyard. The hotel is fairly small and boutique in style. There is no bar or restaurant, but this was no problem. Breakfast was a perfectly adequate self service selection of croisants, breads, cereals, cheese, ham, eggs ect.. The location couldn't have been better - it was really quiet at night, yet only a minute's walk from fabulous restaurants and bars in the adjacent street, 5 mins from the harbour and 15 mins walk from beaches. An excellent delicatescent was right on the doorstep. The staff were very helpful and freindly. If I went back to Chania I would return to this hotel withouth a doubt. There was nothing negative about our stay.

This is a charming though idiosyncratic hotel, we liked the personal welcome and size of the hotel - appeals to more discriminating customers rather then the 'sun & sand' set. Well situated, near restaurants and amenities, but relatively quiet in comparison to other central areas of Hania. Quality of Decor and fitments - superb - but see below. Charm and helpfulness of reception. No major complaints at all but a little more attention to detail and some thought about the experience of actually living in the rooms would raise the level of the hotel even higher. The decor whilst of the highest quality and tastefulness is not always as practical as it could be. For instance lack of hooks to hang things on - towel rails in bathrooms not adequate for 2 persons, little or no provision for personal toiletries/ space/shelves to put things on in bathroom and shower cubicle distracts from the overall experience and quality. Inadequate provision for keeping out light - particularly as summer dawns are so early. The service, though endearing, is a bit 'hit & miss' very well cleaned but objects (glasses/towels etc) not always replaced after collection - items left from previous occupants - just needs some system for checking from the management- a list perhaps of what is to be done - would be of help to the always obliging staff. Would never-the- less strongly recommend.

A friendly little hotel in a pretty part of town away from the main tourist area of Xania but only a few streets from the harbour area. We were very glad that we were no nearer the harbour. Very good location.Helpful staff.Fairly hands-off style, but the staff were very helpful and welcoming and provided all the help we needed. We would certainly stay there again. Breakfast could be a bit more exciting

The hotel was better than I expected from the reviews I had read. The receptionist was very pleasant and looked after all our needs. Even without our requesting it, the owner offered to let us have the room as late as we wanted on the day we were leaving without any extra charge. Room was very comfortable, and the location of the hotel was ideal since it was in the center of the old town, just a couple of blocks from the old port.

Palvelu oli ystävällistä, tyylikkäästi remontoitu hotelli sijaitsee hyvin rauhallisella paikalla aivan turistikeskustan tuntumassa.Huone oli riittävän tilava huolimatta mahtavasta 2m leveästä sängystä. Muutaman kymmenen metrin päässä löytyy heti useita hyviä ruokaravintoloita. Aamiaisella tarjolla ollut kahvi oli laihaa litkua.

Lo stile dell'albergo è molto bello e tutto è nuovo Non c'è quasi mai nessuno dello staff in albergo, se hai bisogno si deve telefonare. Le camere ed il prezzo sono solo per camera doppia, e sono abbastanza piccole. La colazione viene servita a partire dalle 8

Mooi gerestaureerde historische woning midden in old town van Chania. De ontvangst en bediening waren prettig en goed. De kamer was klein (zeker geen 20 m2 en niet overeenkomstig de foto's op de site), dat badkamer zonder jacuzzi was zo klein dat er voor twee personen gelijkertijd geen plaats was. De kamer op de benedenverdieping had een buitendeur, welke rechtstreeks uit kwam op het naastgelegen doodlopende straatje. Goed verzorg ontbijt(buffet).Voor een kort bezoek aan de stad toch wel aardig. kleine kamer en zeer kleine badkamer, welke niet overeenkomen met de foto's op de site.

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel en septembre et avons été enchanté par le séjour. L'endroit est des plus romantiques, très calme alors que nous étions à deux minutes des boutiques d'Hania et lieux de sortie. Nous étions dans un "palais vénitien" ; confort, propreté et charme assurés. Photos conformes à la réalité. Parfait. Difficile de se garer, demander aux habitants pour trouver l'hôtel car il n'est pas facile à trouver (petites rues).

Personnel très sympatique, très bonne situation (bien que difficile à trouver), très calme malgré la grande proximité du port et de la vieille ville, chouette décoration des chambres. Propreté impeccable. Nous voyagions avec un bébé et le personnel a été adorable avec elle. Climatisation bruyante. Difficulté à trouver l'hôtel à l'arrivée (il est situé à l'angle de la rue sorvolou et de la rue kallinikou sarpaki, mais notre chauffeur de taxi ne nous a pas du tout conduit au bon endroit car la kallinikou sarpaki est en plusieurs tronçons et piétonnière).
