Muy buena localización. Al más anticuado de lo esperado
Pros:

Localización. En el puerto veneciano. Con vistas al puerto. Detalle a la llegada. Desayuno correcto.

Cons:

Tenía mayores expectativas por los comentarios. Esperaba unas instalaciones más actualizadas. La división de la habitación con la contigua hacía que fuera como tener a los otros huéspedes dentro de la habitación.

Prachtig plekje.... maar
Pros:

De plek is fantastisch!
Mooi oud pand.

Cons:

We hadden de duurste kamer. Alleen het uitzicht viel wat tegen omdat je eerst kijkt naar een pand wat verbouwd wordt. Balkon iets verder af van het water.

Erg gehorig pand, omdat het een oud pand is.

Één raam boven het bed geen goede gordijnen. Zodra de zon op kwam was de hele kamer niet meer donker.

Wc vlak naast wastafel was niet echt prettig hygiënisch.

In verhouding vonden we de kamer te duur voor wat je krijgt.

Friendly and helpful staff, great location. Picturesque town of Chania
Pros:

Right on the Venetian harbour and easy access, close to all the restaurants. It had its own restaurant which was very nice. They give you 10% discount if you eat there. Breakfast can be included with the room charge. Unique rooms, some had good views. Their guest terraces were excellent with the best view in town!

Cons:

A lot of stairs to carry your suitcases up. Pack light!
