It offers air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a private balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and the town. Maria was delivering a Customer Service experience and Nota went beyond expectations. I met Nico on the last day and he also was professional. Everyone was nice and caring. Also the owner, who is very keen to know people and share his knowldege. The room was beautiful and comfy. The balcony was incredible. Incredible view. 6 am morning view is amazing and night view while having dinner too!

This central Chania hotel is just 200 metres from the Old Town walls and the Venetian harbour. It offers Cretan hospitality, modern furniture and facilities, air-conditioned and soundproof rooms and a limited capacity underground parking. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2021. The location of the hotel is amazing. The hotel is very clean, recently renovated. Breakfast is not of a huge variety, but was delicious and plenty. Our room had a great view towards Chania's old town and the sea. We'll certainly be back! No parking, but apparently they have an agreement with a hotel next door and we had no problem with parking our car.
