Family-focused reviews and ratings
A charming hotel with a fantastic location and really good breakfast. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our stay feel like home.
A wonderful hotel on the quieter side of the harbor, with amazing views, delicious breakfasts, and exceptionally friendly staff. The hotel is beautifully renovated but maintains its classic charm.
Great location, amazing breakfast, and friendly staff! The hotel is perfectly situated near the port but away from the busiest tourist areas. The breakfast was a real highlight.
The best location in Chania! This hotel is right on the water with amazing sunset views from our balcony. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was great.
