Experience the old Venetian harbour life firsthand

A perfect location at the picturesque Venetian harbour in old town Chania. Comfortable, cosy hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Descent breakfast. Special thanks to the Cretan-Serbian girl Anka at the reception.

This hotel is in the absolute best location in Old Town Chania putting you in the center of all the action and the best views whether you like people-watching or staring at the sea. The room decor and amenities were definitely among the best I have seen. Everyone on the staff was cheerful, courteous and always going the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The breakfast spread was amazing too. We had an early check out at 4 AM and they made sure to send us off with a packed breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. The closest parking spots are a short stroll away but we didn't mind it at all because you can enjoy the beautiful views of the lighthouse or take in the charming narrow streets and pet the cats on your walk from your car. We would definitely stay here again to be in the heart of Old Town Chania and explore the countless beaches and eating spots along the coast.
