Enjoyed and would come back!
Pros:

Beautiful location and well appointed rooms! The breakfast, while very minimal, was nice that it was included. Our room included a balcony, which was my favorite part of the accommodation.

Cons:

We had booked two rooms each with two beds, and both rooms had the beds pushed together. We requested that they be separated, and while the request was eventually fulfilled, it took a bit of a back and forth with management. We were confused because we had originally requested two beds in each room, so unsure what the fuss was about. Glad that they did eventually resolve it. We also were disappointed that a couple of curtains were missing in our room, which meant no light dimming for the room. We also requested this be mitigated as the sun was waking us up very early in the morning, however this was not resolved during our stay.

Great town.
Pros:

Excellent Hotel and staff. Nice room, awesome location.

The only drawback is there is a restaurant next door. Most nights the customers were still noisy after midnight.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Chania!
Pros:

Great location! We could easily walk to all the best restaurants in Chania within 15 minutes at most. Even though the hotel is in a busy area, our room was perfectly quiet. The staff were all so lovely, always happy to help and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend!

Overall, it is a nice place but I think they should have given us a discount because of the hot tub
Pros:

The room was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was awesome.

Cons:

The hot tub didn't work. They said it was repaired on the second day we were there, but it never heated up. We told George, at the front desk but he said he checked it and it was working. It never did heat up. The water was cold all day, evening and the next morning as well. So, we never got to relax in the hot tub, which was one of the reasons we booked this room. That was disappointing.
The parking situation is also a nightmare. They indicated that there is some public parking nearby, but it is very limited. We actually ended up getting a parking ticket because we parked in what we thought was the free public parking, but it was for residents only. I don't know how anyone could visit Crete without getting a rental car. To stay near Chania is tricky for sure.

Pros:

La position centrale

Cons:

Je reconnais volontier qu'il y a eu méprise quant à la présence ou non d'un parking. Pas de discussion sur ça mais la personne qui nous a reçue est arrogante et savait tout mieux que nous quant à nos"mauvais choix". Pièce de vie sombre dans la chambre
