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.

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.

We loved being right in the old town of Chania just one street back from the sea. The room provided all we need and the Hotel had a rooftop sitting spot with an excellent old port view. We didn't like that we could hear our neighbors; especially the noisy child...

The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The property is in the perfect location to see the old town, right out the front door is a main street filled with restaurants and shops and the windows of a lot of the rooms face the famous harbor. The rooms and bathrooms are a touch rustic, but the hotel is still beautiful.
