Υπέροχη διαμονή!
Pros:

Το ταξίδι μας έγινε με αφορμή ένα συνέδριο και το συνδυάσαμε με ένα όμορφο διήμερο οι δυο μας, πριν ξεκινήσει η ιδιαίτερα απαιτητική εργασιακή και σχολική (4 kid) χρονιά μας.
Ένα εξαιρετικά ευρύχωρο κατάλυμα, με ιδιαίτερη αισθητική, ιδανική θέση στο παλιό λιμάνι και υπέροχη θέα.

Upea paikka lyhyeen vierailuun mahtavalla sijainnilla.
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.
Aamiaismenu laadukas vaikkakin suppea.
Huone iso ja persoonallinen.

Cons:

Hotellissa ei yhteisiä tiloja. Huoneessa ei parveketta, vaikka olimme varanneet huoneen parvekkeella. Teki huoneesta pimeän.

Funcionários incríveis e linda vista do Porto
Pros:

Cama confortável, quarto grande, vista maravilhosa do Porto veneziano, funcionários prestativos (merecem 1000 estrelas). Boa localização para ficar no centro velho de Chania. Ganhamos presentes porque era nossa lua de mel, e nos deram café da manhã na véspera para que pudéssemos comer mesmo saindo cedo.

Cons:

Não é um problema da acomodação, mas da região: não tem lugar para parar o carro, o estacionamento mais próximo fica a uns 10min andando e é particular

Pros:

Great location, expensive but it is on the waterfront
You get a discount at the restaurant

Cons:

Breakfast starts at 9 am - it needs to start at 7 as most tours leave early. They do arrange a breakfast box

No taxis to the front door it’s abit of a hike

Pros:

Perfect location, we had such a wonderful time here! The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and amenities were very much appreciated. Although we were out of our room too early to enjoy breakfast, owner John very kindly supplied us with a little breakfast bag, and Karina was also super helpful answering any questions we had in the lead up and when we arrived.
