We Loved this hotel! The owner was very nice and Aria was so fantastic to give us advice on beaches, and assure us that the drive was easy! Thank you, Aria! The hotel is SO comfortable with excellent AC and is located on the cutest street / pathway in Chania. Note: we knew nothing about parking so we parked in the closest spot we could find, walked to the hotel to check in, then reparked at a dirt parking lot not too much farther (that we knew was legal). Easy!

Best location in the heart of Chania. Traditional and cozy hotel with a delicious home made breakfast. The view to the port and the lighthouse are the best. Many nice restaurants and shops all around.

The location is fantastic, right on the front at the old harbour. The staff were friendly and helpful with rubbish bins emptied daily and bed linen and towels changed regularly. The building dates from 1400’s and it’s quant and quirky which we loved. We chose a sea front room with a balcony and were delighted with the fab view. The only disappointment was the Wi-Fi as it wasn’t dependable. However, all of the tavernas and restaurants that we visited had free Wi-Fi. We intend to return to Chania and NOSTOS will be our first choice.

Beautiful view but noisy

The owner was very friendly and helpful. My poor rating was because of the noise day and until 1000 pm. During the day they were working on building s next to us. At night, the noise from the restaurant/bar was noisy. The view was amazing but if you like quiet like me this is not the place.

This is a lovely traditional older property - lots of stairs, no lifts/elevators. A rooftop open air lounge area to enjoy the views. Close to pretty much everything in old Chania. The harbor and all the shopping and restaurants you could ever want are literally steps away. Charming, helpful and accommodating staff. Highly Recommended!

Super quirky hotel

The owner described his hotel as a Labyrinth and it is really quirky. I,d like to go back and stay in each of the 12 bedrooms as they're so different and the roof top terrace is a bonus.

Average

Price was inflated due to last minute booking, not worth inflated price. Average stay for someone who is concerned about location above comfort, the staff are really nice, and the place was always clean.

Ultimately the best location in Old Town - incredible views from the window and balcony looking out at the port and the lighthouse. Plenty of amazing restaurants around, lots of places to do shopping. One word of caution though: car access is only allowed between 7-9 am, so if you arrive or leave at another time you’d have to walk with you luggage for about 1 km. It’s a level walk, but it can be hard if you have a lot of luggage.
