The hosts at Nostos Hotel were immensely kind and helpful, sourcing trip info, timetables, and booking taxis. The building was full of character and beautifully decorated. Location was incredible with gorgeous balcony views (being on the harbour front meant there was noise into the evening, but the vista across the water was unbeatable). Thank you for a great stay.

We stayed for 5 nights. Pros: The hotel is located very central. All the shops/restaurants are around. The staff at the reception are very helpful from the instructions how to get there and booking some excursion. Cons: the rooms needs a lot of TLC. The room was never cleaned, not the floor neither the bathroom. Not even changing the bedsheets, only the towels. The toilet isn't flushing at all. The walls seem like they are made of paper, you can hear everything from the other rooms, the reception and everything from the street and the restaurants (literally every conversation).

Lovely little hotel right by the harbour.

A lovely little hotel about 2 metres from the harbour! I was greeted by a super friendly gentleman on reception who showed me my room and gave me a map of Chania Old Town. There is a cute balcony/ veranda where you can see the harbour from the hotel. Beautiful to watch the sunset from. My room was perfect for just me, the only thing to mention is the bed is up on a separate floor and there are some rather steep steps to get up to it. If mobility is an issue, this might not be for you. Other than that though, I would recommend staying here - you come out of the hotel right into the hustle and bustle (and an amazing restaurant on the doorstep!) but once you’re in the hotel, you have peace and also aircon!

We Loved this hotel! The owner was very nice and Aria was so fantastic to give us advice on beaches, and assure us that the drive was easy! Thank you, Aria! The hotel is SO comfortable with excellent AC and is located on the cutest street / pathway in Chania. Note: we knew nothing about parking so we parked in the closest spot we could find, walked to the hotel to check in, then reparked at a dirt parking lot not too much farther (that we knew was legal). Easy!

The location is fantastic, right on the front at the old harbour. The staff were friendly and helpful with rubbish bins emptied daily and bed linen and towels changed regularly. The building dates from 1400’s and it’s quant and quirky which we loved. We chose a sea front room with a balcony and were delighted with the fab view. The only disappointment was the Wi-Fi as it wasn’t dependable. However, all of the tavernas and restaurants that we visited had free Wi-Fi. We intend to return to Chania and NOSTOS will be our first choice.

Beautiful view but noisy

The owner was very friendly and helpful. My poor rating was because of the noise day and until 1000 pm. During the day they were working on building s next to us. At night, the noise from the restaurant/bar was noisy. The view was amazing but if you like quiet like me this is not the place.

This is a lovely traditional older property - lots of stairs, no lifts/elevators. A rooftop open air lounge area to enjoy the views. Close to pretty much everything in old Chania. The harbor and all the shopping and restaurants you could ever want are literally steps away. Charming, helpful and accommodating staff. Highly Recommended!

Super quirky hotel

The owner described his hotel as a Labyrinth and it is really quirky. I,d like to go back and stay in each of the 12 bedrooms as they're so different and the roof top terrace is a bonus.
