Property was clean and accessible to old town Chania. It is a great location and the view of the harbor was wonderful. We were in the "Duke" room which was more spacious than the "Lord" room my son rented. There is no elevator at the property, You must climb stairs and if you rent a car there is no parking associated with the property. Street parking is crowded and limited

Great choice for old town Chania Harbor stay.

Great place to stay on the old town harbor front. Everything was great, and even though we arrived late, they came back to check us in. Hot showers, comfy bed, and a balcony to watch the people on the harbor. We would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay. There is no parking close, but a garage and street parking is a few blocks away.

Beautiful place and overlooking olde town harbor and restaurants. The room was the size of three rooms and had a large jacuzzi. The balcony was great to sit and people watch and watch the sunset. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Chania!

Good hotel with awesome view.

Excellent stay with a wonderful view of the harbor. The breakfast is typical American & Mediterranean type. The terrace is good but the best view is from the balcony. Please be aware that there is no parking at the hotel and you must walk in from where the taxi drops you off… 100 yards.

We had a wonderful stay. The room was incredible! We did splash out for the sea view jacuzzi tub suite, and very glad we did so. Such a convenient location for good shopping, great restaurants, and seeing the older side of Chania. Really enjoyed the options at breakfast and learning all the local pastries and tears. Would absolutely stay again.

The only Negative I have is those stairs Lord have mercy. They will make a man or a woman out of you. Other than that, this was one of the best hotels I stayed at. The staff was excellent. The location is perfect. Just make sure they have your taxi driver scheduled for any transfers because there was a hiccup coming into town my taxi driver I don’t know what happened to him, but regardless, I was still able to enjoy my stay
