Superb.. book it & you’ll be rewarded with excellent views, fine dining nearby, & a 1st class host.
Pros:

From the moment we stepped into the Captain Vasilis Hotel, our host was welcoming, and it soon became clear that we had booked one of those rare hotels right in the heart of Chania, not only within the beautiful old town itself, but also as part of its history.

We later discovered that our host was in fact the grandson of the real and famous Captain Vasilis, who once lived in this very house before it was converted into a hotel.

Step outside and you are surrounded by excellent restaurants, narrow old passageways and the beautiful old port. We booked the double room with a private terrace, Room 4, which had a stunning view overlooking the old port. Day or night, it was a feast for the eyes.

Definitely recommended.

Cons:

One point to be aware of, although this is no fault of the hotel: cars are not permitted in the old town itself, so there is a short walk of around 3 minutes from the nearest accessible point.

Parking can be a little difficult if you have a hire car, as the town recently introduced paid parking in the nearby streets and car parks. At the time of our visit, parking was limited to a maximum of 4 hours, with free parking between 9:00pm and 7:00am. However, if you are happy to park slightly outside the immediate old town area, you should be able to find free street parking.

Sérieux problème d'accès à la terrasse de la "chambre double standard avec vue sur mer"
Pros:

Bon accueil, vue sur le port et la mer;

Cons:

La chambre (6), annoncée avec terrasse, ne présente un accès à cette terrasse qu':
-en passant par la fenêtre!!!
ou
-en descendant par un escalier à l'étage inférieur, puis en remontant par un escalier extérieur en colimaçon, puis en traversant la terrasse de la chambre voisine en franchissant ses limites privatives!!!

Camera microscopica.
Pros:

Posizione centralissima, personale cortese, bella struttura antica, anche se un pò cupa.

Cons:

La sedicente camera matrimoniale standard di 15 mq corrispondeva a una camera lillipuziana di 9mq + 2,5mq del bagno, dove mancavano gli spazi essenziali per ogni manovra.
Inoltre il tutto non era all'altezza di un 4 stelle. Materasso sfondato, malgrado il topping cosmetico.
Ci siamo dovute arrangiare chiedendo un filo volante aggiuntivo per potere ricaricare i telefoni perché non c'erano prese in camera, salvo quelle già occupate dalle luci dei comodini. Bagno microscopico cieco senza un sistema di areazione. Tutte le mattine alle 5 il fragore delle bottiglie di vetro buttate dai numerosi ristoranti attorno.
