    Shower design was kind of weird in bathroom, and shower was working in a way, that it was either very cold or boiling hot.

    Room was nice and new looking, very good for a couple

    No elevator in the hotel! We faced difficulties to bring the suitcases to the room!

    The location was very good in the heart of everything ! The room we booked had amazing view to the harbor ! It was spacious and very clean! The housekeeping staff of the hotel were helpful in keeping the hotel room clean and neat at all times! Outstanding interior architecture !!

    Great stay, with some oddities (no deal breakers though)
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Budget Double Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Some oddities that aren't deal breakers, but that I'd like to share: - There wasn't a soap tray. Whilst I wouldn't have minded the bar of soap just stay on the side of the sync (albeit causing some wet spots), the cleaning staff persistently put the bar of soap on our personal items (e.g. a can of hair wax or handcreme). This became a bit of an annoyance as of course that would leave soapy residue on our items. Not sure why there just wasn't a 50¢ little bowl put in there. - I'm not sure about this one, but it felt to me that after we used the coffee mugs in the room, those were never cleaned or exchanged. After a couple days of drinking coffee, they became a bit sticky. - Common for hotel rooms to have this, but be aware that power is cut when your remove your key card from the room. This makes it a bit more tedious to charge devices whilst you're underway. - Lastly, the doors, when left open for a longer than a couple second, give off a really loud beeping sound. I understand the reason for this (to alert you if you forgot to close the door completely) but the timer could maybe be set a bit longer. It will beep almost anytime you go in & out, and this was a sound we would hear at night from the hallways sometimes from other rooms.

    The location is absolutely fantastic and the bed's are soooo comfy! The staff was also nice and welcoming and the place even smelled very pleasant haha. I really like the style of the rooms, feels like a proper little loft instead of a just a generic hotel room. I can recommend staying here.

    The only issue with the place, is that there is not parking close by.

    Everything perfect. No breafast is served at the premises, but this not an issue since too many other places around serve breakfast.

    You could hear pigeons or another animal walking on the roof, made me nervous! No elevator, but that’s to be expected with an old building.

    The room was very modern with all the amenities of a fancy hotel but had all the charm of the old town of Chania. We loved the location, very central to everywhere we wanted to go but also not loud or crowded. Plus the staff were so helpful!

    I didn’t like that it was too dark in the room…apartments on the first floor don’t have a view….there is a big house in front, which makes the apartment dark. In my opinion they should not put on the ad only the apartment with the view, which is most probably on the second floor.

    The place was clean, location is really nice, people who are working there were nice and helpful

    To much steps to do till you go on 3rd floor, it needs lift if you have baby, also it needs more to be cleaned.

    Position of the hotel was stunning right on Chania beach front, close to the restaurant and shops. The view was amazing, relaxing and most important was the location 5 seconds on the beach.

    No direct reception in the house (available, but not open), so we have to pickup the keys nearby. but not a big issue though. Parking is tricky due to the high demand in that area. But that’s normal.

    A fantastic location, our room with a great view over the harbour, close to excellent restaurants and bars. The interior and ambiance are stylish, bed was great. And the view through all windows, especially at njght was georgeous. Highly recommended.

    Not really a negative point for us, but still as a note: the hotel would not be the best choice for people with limited mobility

    The old building in the middle of the old town has been comfortably renovated and the rooms are now very modern and chic (but a bit small though).

    There should be more hangers in case you want to wash and dry clothes There is no real door between the bathroom/restrooms and the bedroom, so it can be annoying during the night (light, noise from the exhaust fan) We didn't ask, but they should provide 2 cards. You need a card to enter the building and to enter the room. So if your partner comes at a different time, you have to go down to open the door No balcony or windows (or a very small one). Don't trust the pictures!

    Very comfortable bed and room Close to the old port but very quiete Nice digital TV with lot of channels, including non greek channels Nice bathroom Also get some coffee machine /water Convenient plugs to recharge phone/devices

    the room was a bit noisy not from noise coming from the outside, but from noise of within the hotel itself, other guests slamming their doors, or the alarm that goes on every time you leave a door open for more than a few seconds… also some light coming in very early morning

    amazingly beautiful and large room with everything you need in the Center of town but away from the noise. staff very friendly.
