“The perfect stay, right by the beach and Chania old town”
From the location, to everyone I met from day one, to the room I stayed in — everything was great. The room was always spotless, so kudos to the cleaning lady. I loved the breakfast — especially the homemade jams and fresh orange juice. The young lady who served us was always friendly and attentive. The lady at reception and a gentleman, who I believe are the owners, were very helpful, welcoming and made my entire stay so nice. I really appreciated the map of Chania and Crete with markings of which parts are worth visiting — it was very helpful. I also enjoyed our little chats when coming back to the hotel. You are all so lovely and made the entire stay so nice that I was sad to leave. Thank you so much :) Worth noticing that the hotel is so close to everything - the old town, the bus station, the beach, restaurants - it was very convenient. The area is residential and very beautiful with the local market nearby, which is very useful.

“Very hospitable staff, good value for money.”
The staff were really helpful and gave us excellent directions to the places we wanted to go, and recommended good places to eat, and were really welcoming. We were very close to a beach (a bonus) and easy walking distance to town. Just sorry that, due to a change in our original plans, we couldn't stay any longer.

“Lovely stay!”
I really enjoyed the whole stay! This place breathes hospitality and comfort. The rooms are always kept so clean, with perfectly tidy bedding and soft towels. It has everything you need, even for the longer stay. And couple of extra quite modern features. And the balcony, with the flowers on it gives a special charm to the room. Bed was very comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was perfect! Big praise goes to the hotel owners, who made my stay unforgettable with their hospitality and care for the guests! They have helped me with everything I needed, and made sure I get a taxi to the airport, since I didn't order it the day before. I was very nice welcomed and also saw off - with thoughtful gift! It was such a sweet touch to the whole experience! I am looking forward to my next stay here!

“Lovely stay”
Great location, facilities, spotless clean! We had our rooms cleaned every day, the hosts are amazingly kind and genuine! Small breakfast but enough to keep you full, the rooftop garden is a place to remember :) We were a group of 8, family trip, and enjoyed every moment. Thank you and hope to see you again at some point!

“Cudowny pobyt!”
Thank you once again for an outstanding stay. Everything was perfect! It's a lovely family-run hotel with a friendly and incredibly helpful staff. The room was spotless, and the air conditioning worked perfectly and was very quiet. The location couldn't be better – everything is within walking distance! There are plenty of wonderful restaurants nearby serving delicious food. There's also parking available right in front of the building. We highly recommend this place.

Great family atmosphere, kind hosts. Breakfast on the roof with great, relaxing vibe. Excellent location - only couple of minutes to the see and to the old town but very quiet place.

“Warm, welcoming and great service!”
As a solo traveller, I immediately felt welcomed & at home in this family run hotel. Right from the moment I arrived from a late plane, the owners were so helpful & accommodating, and continued to be flexible to my needs as I came and went (early & late) to attend a 4day course. The hotel was also exceptionally clean, the rooms (& bed!) very comfortable with fridge & supplies for tea/coffee, as well as leaving me breakfast in my room when I had an early start. In terms of position the hotel was also ideal for me, being a 10min walk from the main town centre traffic, in a quiet street, and only 2 mins from the beach & restaurants/bars on the east of the main town centre. Even though the hotel does not pretend to have the facilities of one of the larger hotels in the town, it certainly would be my preference if I was to return to Chania. Thank you!
