Beautiful peaceful place
Pros:

Lovely room, amazing location with a stunning sea view and right in the heart of Chora Sfakion so very handy for restaurants and the beach as well as the port. Car parking available in large public car park 2 mins walk away.

Cons:

Nothing really. The restaurant isn’t open yet in April but there are others so it didn’t affect me negatively.

A Beautiful large comfortable room with a stunning view and only a few steps from shops etc
Pros:

This place was wonderful. First, the room was huge and bright and sunny-overlooking the sea! The young man who let us in the room was really nice and even brought his dog for a visit. The location was incredible- just a few steps from a small food market and a bakery and several restaurants. We were there before the season got busy and the locals were all friendly and really sweet. The area is a hiker’s paradise!! We stayed 3 nights and I wish we’d stayed longer. Every day we drove up into the mountains and explored and hiked. The area is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. Imbros Gorge and Aradena Gorge in particular. If you like the outdoors and hiking and stunning scenery, this is the place to go!
