If I could give 10 stars, instead of just 5, I would! Eva, Nicos, and all the gals were so accommodating and amazingly helpful and generous. We got very spoiled by all of them, especially Eva! We stayed in the smallest room they have but it worked great. You have to be prepared going in that it is very small. Smaller than most US hotel rooms. But the view of the lighthouse, sea, and museum grounds made it so worth it. We loved it and it didn't bother us at all. We got to know many of the staff and other couples and realized that this location is the best in old town. Right as you enter the harbor/port, so easy access to everything in and out of the port area, especially Nea Chora beach, shopping and restaurants just steps away. The food was amazing and tried most of the hotel suggested restaurants and they were all very very good. Mostly outdoor dining with no bugs. Perfect! Besides the hotel and all the staff my favorite part of the trip was meeting the locals in the villages. Some were real characters and the food was authentic and delicious! Try the goat! I LOVED it! I recommend going in early to mid June. That is when we were there for 9 days. Then is before the big season rush and the weather was perfect. Around the mid 80's F and no humidity so perfect for about anything you want to do from beach to shopping. If you can afford longer I suggest 11 or 12 days. I could go on on on...

This was one of the coolest hotels we have stayed in. It is a 500 year old castle. The rooms are huge, with very comfortable beds and the best rain shower. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to all your needs. They also give you a traditional Greek breakfast in the morning. The location was perfect with fun shops, restaurants and the beach. Thank You Renee and Alex

We checked out early, the next morning due to unacceptable conditions and unprofessional treatment at Alcanea Boutique Hotel. Our room was extremely small, barely larger than a walk-in closet, we had to turn sideways to move around. The hygiene was even worse: large amounts of long black hair were stuck to the shower walls, and the sheets smelled strongly of mildew, making them unusable. My wife had to use her shawl to drape over her because the sheets smelled bad. When we brought this to the manager’s attention, she denied responsibility and rudely implied we planted the hair ourselves, which was both offensive and unprofessional. We do not recommend this hotel.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The location is perfect in Old town Chania. We had a beautiful view of the lighthouse from our room. It is on the end away from most of the noise. The room (4), building, were beautiful. The breakfast was delicious, service was great. We also enjoyed a glass of wine at night too. Ava was delightful and so welcoming!!!! If you are okay with stairs you have to stay here. Remember its a 500 plus year old building. Its not perfect and not American ADA compliant.

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.
