The location is unbeatable, being in the heart of Chania, Crete, close to the Old Venetian Harbor, and offering great views.

The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with a room overlooking the bustling harbor ideal for sunrise views but disturbed by loud music until early morning. Service excels with extremely polite and helpful staff guiding on local attractions, though the dining options may disappoint with limited choices. The location is unbeatable, right on the harbor with stunning views and easy access to Old Chania. However, the on-site dining may not live up to expectations. A unique spot for energetic travelers seeking the heart of the city.
