We had booked this hotel through Fantasy Travel in Athens as part of a larger Crete travel package. This was a hotel suggested by our travel agent. It is centrally located in the old part of Chania close to waterfront, shops, and restaurants.
The hotel is in an historic building that was once the French embassy and is located in a maze of narrow medieval streets. The interior is quaint with a narrow winding staircase leading to three floors of guestrooms and a downstairs area for breakfast.
Our room was room 5, probably the nicest room in the hotel on the top floor affording a great view of the harbour. The room was quiet, clean, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. The bathroom was a shower cubicle and was a snug fit.
Although the hotel was good, the strength of this hotel is in its staff. They all are so friendly and ensuring our stay was comfortable and even right down to making sure everything was right with the breakfast. They were even kind enough to allow us check into our room before 8AM as we had got off the overnight ferry from Piraeus
Things to keep in mind when booking into this hotel and many others in old Chania. Many of these hotels are in historic buildings meaning they will not a have a lift (elevator). Another factor are the streets of Chania itself. It is virtually impossible for a taxi to stop right "at the door." This means you might have to carry your luggage a little ways if staying at this hotel.
The above factor has not influenced my review and want to recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in the heart of the historic area. This hotel is reasonably priced (about €100) and has very friendly staff.
