not recommended, easy to find something cheaper and better to eat breakfast in town
Pros:

hotel was just OK, enough for one night, but I do not recommend it. It was clean, but everything had at least 20 years with no investments at all. Staff polite and helpful.

Cons:

Hotel was like from previous era, hadn't seen any renovations for at least decades. Breakfast had many options, but barely eatable. Coffee not drinkable. Noise from the street is irritating.

Pros:

No character hotel..pretty much a big empty building with a very small gym and a breakfast room resembling school dinner hall.

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία εξαιρετική. Το προσωπικό ευγενεστατο και το ξενοδοχείο πεντακάθαρο όπως και το δωμάτιο. Στο κέντρο της πόλης πραγματικά, μόλις 5 λεπτά με τα πόδια απο την Παλιά Πόλη.

Cons:

Μας δυσκόλεψαν πολύ οι θεσεις στάθμευσης πέριξ του ξενοδοχείου που ειναι ανύπαρκτες, το ίδιο ακριβώς πρόβλημα που αντιμετωπίζουν και τα Χανιά όπως και το Ηράκλειο. Ένα παράπονο το έχω βέβαια και για το πρωινό και ειδικά για τον καφέ. Γενικότερα ομως η σχέση ποιότητας- τιμής του καταλύματος ειναι εξαιρετική και μπράβο στο ευγεναστατο προσωπικό και την καθαριότητα των δωματίων.
