Lena and Ilias gave the most warm welcome! The hotel was so quaint and beautiful views. So close to the old town and very amazing breakfast! Definitely would recommend for anyone but especially first timers they gave us so much insight on the island and even gave us a ride from the airport and to a beach club:)

Ideal base to explore Western Crete
Overlooking the Agean sea and the old city of Chania this place is true gem. Small family ran affair, with large rooms, good breakfast and amazing views. Slept with windows open, no problems with noise. 30min walk to the city center or 5 min drive. Kind, extremely helpfull host!

I couldn't reccomend a better hotel. The staff were lovely, they were happy to help us with anything and everything that we needed for our trip. They told us the best places to eat for authentic food. Showing us their favourite restaurants and cafes. The breakfast in the morning was fresh and delicious. Tea and coffee available at any time of the day and home baked cake.
The hotel was clean and the balcony view was fantastic.
If you are looking for something authentic i couldn't reccomend this place more.

Nice little hotel with great staff! Cleaning the rooms daily. The owner Lena and her husband Ilia were really friendly and helpful. They made our stay feel like home. Bus stop next to the hotel and wonderful views of the sea and the city. Grocery store next door.
Heartfelt thanks for a great week to the hosts!

Lovely simple hotel with spectacular views of Chania and endless sea. The owners are the most welcoming wonderful people one could ever meet on the trip. Perfect breakfast on the terrace. We had a bottle of nice wine in the fridge waiting for us too. Would mind to come back again and again. Thanks so much Lena and Ilia for including us to Chania and your wonderful sincere hospitality.
