Our stay in Chania was the most memorable part of our two week trip to Greece and this hotel was part of that amazing experience! We had a clean, beautiful room with a port view in front and were able to step right into the alleys and excitement when we walked out the back. Breakfast was amazing and just a few short steps down a pretty alley from this hotel. Staff was all helpful and friendly. I would 100% recommend staying here! ♥️

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!

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.

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

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.

You couldn’t ask for a nicer room with a balcony overlooking the Venetian Harbor. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help us get taxis and a rental car. The breakfast buffet had a lot of options and was a nice way to start everyday.

Lovely room with the most incredible views from the balcony. Considering how loud and busy the harbour is the sound proofing muffled it well, but I’d still recommend ear plugs for sleeping. Breakfast is a short walk away and has a nice buffet with absolutely lovely staff. The front desk is a few doors up at the sister hotel, and again the staff are very helpful and welcoming. Housekeeping was superb, do remember to pop a sign on the door so they know you’re ready for the room to be serviced. Be warned that the stairs are wooden and lots of them given the age and nature of the building! So many amazing places to eat so very close by, and a little supermarket just round the corner. There’s noise in the morning when all the delivery vans arrive for the waterfront businesses, but not too early- you’ll be up anyway looking at the sun on the gorgeous harbour from the balcony!
