Overall we enjoyed our three night stay, breakfast was very nice, staff very hospitable and friendly. Room was spacious and bar staff were excellent. I would say the hotel could improve on cleaning, bathroom was a little outdated and we found a cockroach in our room. Staff were very quick to help us however and these things happen. Gym could have better equipment and pool area could be better.

The front desk girl was amazing, she directed us to beautiful areas and nice restaurants. The included breakfast was fantastic and they keep the breakfast open even later than indicated. The staff were great, don’t forget to tip for the great service. It’s a few minutes walking to Chania old port. Beautiful hotel, keep the greatness up.

Great little city centre hotel - wonderful staff
Small hotel in the city centre. No views, and bathroom a little cramped. The friendliest staff and wonderful service. Value for money about right. Good location. We really enjoyed our stay and the city is fantastic

Absolutely beautiful hotel at a very affordable price!! The staff were absolutely lovely, especially the reception team, nothing was too much and they were able to upgrade us and move us to a room overlooking the pool when we asked. They went above and beyond and purchased oat milk for me to have coffee with breakfast as I am vegan. Cannot recommend this hotel enough and if I were to come back to Crete I would not hesitate to stay here again!

The ideal base for exploring Chania
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was very clean and the staff were so attentive - always offering to help with advice or services. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of choice and constant coffee refills . Great way to start the day. The hotel is in an ideal location around 10 mins walk to the old town. Such a nice walk in too. If you’re driving then the hotel is located not far from the main highway road that goes through all of Crete. Really handy!

Hotel is in a odd area without any other hotels around it, but quiet and you can easily walk to the harbour and Nea Chora beach. Hotel itself is a little outdated but clean and the staff do everything to make your stay go well. There was constant cleaning in the rooms around me so the noise can be too much if you’re spending time in your room. Pool area is small but just the right size for a quick swim at the end of the day.

Nice hotel with a central location
Great location near Nea Chora beach and the old town! The rooms are clean and have all the necessary amenities. And most importantly olive oil soaps from ABEA! The pool is not mind-blowing, but considering the central location it couldn't really be much bigger. Some items from room service are a bit expensive, but who could resist ordering drinks directly to the pool? There's only a few parking spots right outside the hotel, but we were lucky to find a vacant one every day. All in all, this is a great place to stay in Chania!

Ok but could do better
Good location in Chania with easy access to town and waterfront, but located on a main road that gets very busy at some times of the day. Rooms have sliding doors that reduce sound, useful at night, but take away the ability to benefit from sitting out on a balcony in the sun. For a similar hotel room price and facilities I would consider other choices in the area.
