It offers air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a private balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and the town. Modern hotel with clean rooms and well-maintained bathrooms.

This central Chania hotel is just 200 metres from the Old Town walls and the Venetian harbour. It offers Cretan hospitality, modern furniture and facilities, air-conditioned and soundproof rooms and a limited capacity underground parking. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2021. Perfect location, friendly staff, very clean rooms (we received new towels every day and the room was regularly cleaned). Close to bus station, near the port and in walking distance to the best local beach. We will surely stay here again.
