4 night stay in late March/Early April. Beautiful location on the harbor. Great atmosphere. Felt extremely safe. Eva was very welcoming and room was lovely. Parking is nearby and is free, and an easy walk with roller bags. Would definitely return and our visit wasn’t nearly long enough.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was just on the edge of the port so it was quiet and peaceful but a short walk to all the action. Ava was very kind, sweet, helpful, and so accommodating. We highly recommend staying here!

This cute hotel is in a perfect location in the beautiful harbor. Having a café on the first floor, lots of restaurants and shopping close by, a beach within less than 20 min walking, it was perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Iconic location built right into a 1600s fortress.
Third floor walk up was tough on us though. If I came again I would have to stay on the second floor

Charming boutique hotel
This was my favorite hotel in Crete. Very well decorated and stylish, while retaining a Greek islands feel. Eva and staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. The breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this for your stay in chania.

Alcanea Boutique Hotel was amazing! Our room was so spacious and nice and the hotel lobby is so beautiful. Loved the welcome drink upon arrival too! Such a nice touch. My husband and I stayed here with our 2 boys 9 and 13 and they loved this hotel also.

This hotel is in one of the most historic buildings in Chania and in perhaps the best location in Chania opposite the lighthouse on the old harbour. It feels like you are stepping back in time but the excellent service from the hotel team is very much 21st century.

Very convenient place, overlooking the water, and the manager is super nice. I think her father owned the property. The rooms are small, the standard ones, but they will do. The breakfast is good, but can get busy with one person doing all the serving since no burette. Also, I wish breakfast could start earlier.
