Pros:

Breakfast was incredible! We were well catered as a vegetarian and a vegan, we felt spoilt, and there was a huge spread of food. The location is very central yet quiet at night, and the area felt safe. The room was spacious, clean and the balcony was a lovely addition. The building itself is beautiful. Staff were polite and accommodating. They even leant us some walking sticks for our walk of the Samaria Gorge.

We'd love to stay at this hotel again someday!

Perfect get away in a picturesque town with lovely people.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent - very peaceful and pleasant setting.
The hosts and staff were amazing - such kind gentle helpful lovely people.
Location inside the old town with easy accessible walking around the town but location in a quiet area just outside the main hustle bustle.
Beautiful plants everywhere, lovely cobbled streets. loads of stray cats which all look so healthy as all the people feed them well. All are happy to have a cuddle but don't bother you.

Cons:

We arrived at 1700 but when we got there there was no-one there. I saw a card at the door with a number so hard to call one of the stuff. Out of season no-one is there after 1500. It was all a bit confusing but no stress and easily sorted. Didn't have to wait long. It would have been good to know this in advance - but not a problem though.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast in Best Part of Chania
Pros:

Everything was great! This family owned property is well appointed and really gorgeous, hardwoods and artisan designed metal and glass throughout the building. It's located in our favorite, and quiet, part of old town. The owners are the kindest and most helpful people, they helped us with our luggage and provided information about the area. The breakfast is delicious and the place is super clean! Bedroom was very comfortable, with excellent mattress and linens. There's an upstairs garden and an outside pavilion seating area. Highly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing

Central and quiet stay in a lovely property
Pros:

Central but quiet location, lovely spread at breakfast served in the courtyard and a helpful and friendly team. Our room was the perfect size for a couple of nights but might be a little small for a longer stay, so consider accordingly!

Nicely located, charming hotel in the heart of the old town but still far enough away from the tourist traps.
Pros:

Excellent location and full of charm. The courtyard is beautifully put together and has a lovely old town feel. The staff were warm and very helpful, and breakfast in the private courtyard was a real highlight of our stay.

Pros:

Besonders gefallen haben uns die herzliche und zuvorkommende Betreuung, die tolle Lage, das freundliche Personal und das individuelle, einzigartige Frühstück.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist leider etwas hellhörig, sodass man Geräusche aus den Nachbarzimmern und von außen deutlich hören kann.
