Great stay in Chania
Perfect hotel for our Chania adventures. The hotel is a short walk to the old town and harbor. It’s also adjacent to the bus station - that made it easy for our trek to Samariá Gorge.
The staff was incredibly helpful with tips for things to do and best way to do them.
We would absolutely stay again.

We absolutely loved this hotel and had the best stay. The staff were so friendly and attentive to our needs. The breakfast had so many options and the facilities at the hotel were top notch. The bed was so comfortable, we had the best sleeps! Also loved the cats that slept near the pool (sammy was the cutest).
Would definitely recommend anyone to say here on their stay, and if we ever came back to Chania we would stay here 100%.
