Very well located and quiet retreat, with excellent staff.
Pros:

Very attentive and courteous staff. Good breakfast. Good location, close to the center but very quiet. Common areas were very good, no luxury but quite tasteful.

Cons:

The room was somewhat dated. I would suggest to replace the wall decorative items (a bit depressing, in my view) with simple photos or reproductions of the Crete scenery, Also please change the sofa bed (very unconfortable), maybe foldable chairs and a table would make the living room much more useful. With a small investment you would turn your place into a true gem.
