Perfect place to stay in Chania!
Pros:

Wonderful location right in the Chania harbor area! Amazing views from our room and balcony as well as from the hotel's spacious rooftop (tables/chairs set up). We enjoyed relaxing in the sun with the views, above the hustle and bustle below. This place has one of the best views compared to other places you could stay around the harbor (nice size room balcony, location of rooftop). Centrally located, walkable to many interesting areas in Chania (pier/lighthouse walk at sunset, churches, Turkish area, restaurants, shopping etc). One of our favorite places to visit during our 2-week trip to Greece - combination of history, scenic views, size/feeling of town. Reception desk staff were great - very helpful in answering questions before our trip (via messaging on Booking.com) and during our stay. Loved the architecture of the room - wood beamed ceiling. Feels very Venetian with the room and harbor views but a cleaner, smaller version of Venice :)! Staff also very helpful in booking a taxi and helping us with luggage on the morning of our departure (taxi came to the back of the hotel, right by the water). Would have liked more days here!

Cons:

Nothing

A wonderful stay at a charming place in a wonderful town
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay and our room was spacious and had a wonderful view of the harbor. Love that we could open our windows and get the fresh air in our room. The staff were extremely helpful. If you do not like stairs, be careful what room you select. It is a beautiful old building with all the charm, but with all the modern amenities that you will need. Fantastic location.

Cons:

You only had one pillow, but I never asked for a second. I am sure if I needed more they would’ve given it to me.

Can’t wait to come back!
Pros:

Is a beautiful place to stay right on the Chania harbour. Close to everything, restaurants, tavernas, shops and not far from new town. The staff are so nice and helpful. And the room was immaculate. Will definitely come back.
