Breakfast was very good, with coffee made to order.

It’s a lovely place to stay
Pros:

It is a lovely old building in the heart of the old town and the rooms are traditional which is nice. The breakfasts were very tasty too.,

Cons:

We were on the top floor and there are 66 steep stairs to get there - narrow, curved and not very well lit so it was an effort to get up to the room, then there wete 10 more stairs from our room up to the bed!

We loved staying here and would do so again.
Pros:

The room was quaint, comfortable, and spacious. It was in a quiet location. The staff was very friendly.

Cons:

No parking near the hotel. We had difficulty finding a parking spot when we arrived after dark because one of the suggested lots is dark and we couldn’t find it on Google maps by name.

Charming central hotel
Pros:

The location is perfect. Very close to restaurants, small shops and port, but in a location with no noise. The hotel is charging, is like going back in time. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is delicious.

Pros:

The staff is super kind and helpful.
The building architecture with Venice style is full of history.

Cons:

The city is a harbor, and some odors occasionally emanate from the pipes. It's a common occurrence, though mildly unpleasant.

An experience staying in an historical hotel in Chania.
Pros:

Great location in an historical building.

Cons:

For future guests it is important to note that we had 62 stairs up to our room from the reception area, and then in addition, our bed was up a flight of steps on a mezzanine level. Just something to consider as it may not suit all. Being an older property, it has a darker feel due to the older smaller windows.
