I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's perfectly situated right by the seafront with an excellent view and a large balcony to enjoy the scenery. The service was top-notch, with staff always super friendly and willing to help with any request. The location is ideal, being delightfully close to the Venetian harbor in the heart of Chania's old town. The dining experience with its stunning view was a highlight, although I wished there were more hot food items available.
