A place to hide and rise
Pros:

The location is great. Sunrise is clear in the windows and in the evening the old Venetian harbor is at a glance. Event though is a crowded area no sonic was disturbing the sleeping. Very microscopic hotel with giant privileges.

Cons:

The light bulbs in the room are unequal light temperature. Warm white mixed with daylight is disturbing and can easily destroy the overall impression. The furniture and wall colors are so old fashioned calming and has a charm that no accident light bulb should destroy.

Pros:

Wir wohnten sehr ruhig in der Suite zum Innenhof (nicht Richtung Hafen). Die Lage am venezianischen Hafen ist perfekt zur Erkundung von Chania. Die Anreise mit dem Auto war im November unkompliziert, es gibt einen öffentlichen Parkplatz in der Nähe. Das Frühstück war liebevoll zubereitet, reichhaltig und wird serviert. Vom Frühstücksraum gibt es einen direkten kleinen Balkon Richtung Hafen, den wir jederzeit nutzen konnten. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und haben sogar eine Nacht verlängert.

In all a very pleasant stay.
Pros:

From check-in to check-out, it was a great experience. The location was exceptional, and the water views were beautiful. It was very convenient to be able to walk out the front door and be in the middle of the very romantic Old Venetian Port for a walk. We rented a car and were able to park for free not very far from the hotel, right across the street from the fortress. We could not say enough about our host Olga. She was amazing from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. From a smooth check-in to serving us a delicious breakfast every morning and giving us suggestions on what things to do in town. She seemed genuinely interested in how our day was. Thank you so much Olga for the wonderful experience you truly made it feel like home. Hope to see you again. We would definitely recommend these accommodations and would surely stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing really. Everything was great.

Lovely stay in amazing location
Pros:

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Casa Leone for four nights. The location is excellent and we had a beautiful view of the Venetian port from our balcony. The complimentary breakfast was delicious (and big!) and staff were lovely and welcoming. The room was really beautiful too. The only drawback was the club nearby was a bit loud, but we used earplugs to sleep and were fine and of course it’s not the hotel’s fault. If you plan to be out late anyway then it wouldn’t be an issue. If you’re a light sleeper then I would just say go for a room upstairs instead of on the first floor. Absolutely recommend staying here!

Room with a view (and what a view!)
Pros:

A spacious, comfortable room with a fantastic view of the harbor. The breakfast that was provided was the perfect start to my days in Chania. The lady who checked me in and asked what id like for breakfast was wonderful, she clearly had a passion for the hotel. I would be more than happy to come back here and stay again.

Not worth of the price.
Pros:

The house is in the best place in Hania. The view to the harbour is wonderful. The breakfastroom could be in a Venetian palace.
The young lady, who worked in the reception is a gem. She is kind, friendly and helpful and she made us a very good breakfast.

Cons:

The room was not so beautiful, the furniture was confused and past and the decoration was a little odd. Many items were glued on the top of the tables. There was not place enough for our luggages and our goods.
The bathroom was small and it smelled odd. The terrace was mirthless, broken furniture and concrete.
Sometimes there was a man, who was sitting and looking tv. He did not greet, he never smiled, he always had a cap in his head. One morning he served the breakfast: one and half slices of bread, 12 grapes and one little pot of coffee and so one, for two people. Normally we got much more.
