We stayed 15 days at the hotel, a nice stay. The room is small and I like it brighter, especially the bathroom, otherwise nice view, good service, a good restaurant and has a pool and sun deck. Nikos from the reception who is professional and super helpful makes up for all the short comings of the hotel.

This hotel is amazing, the only issue I had was with the hours for the gym. It didn’t open until 9am and from at 2pm till 5pm, then closed again at 9pm. While I understand the need to keep things quiet for other guests, it wasn't conducive for traveling. No early morning workout before breakfast.

Room was spotlessly clean, the large sea view balcony was our favourite part! The pool was gorgeous and we loved being able to place orders to be delivered poolside. The breakfast was top of the line with unlimited options, both hot and cold, and it was served on the rooftop offering outstanding views. Dinner at the restaurant, The Hill, was outstanding. The shuttle service to Old Town was extremely efficient and reliable. I highly recommend this hotel! The only con was the teeny shower & would have loved some drawer space to be able to unpack.

The service was really unfriendly, with exception of 3 people. Getting room service was always an issue because of comprehension and if we did want to approach them their attitude just put us off. Rolling eyes and sighs whilst customers made requests at breakfast was absolutely shocking. I ordered a salmon salad and whilst it was lovely and Fresh there was a bit of plastic in the food.

Stunning hotel on top of hill. Definitely not walking distance to Old Chania but they have a shuttle that drops to and from which is great! Doesn't have an airport shuttle but taxi was about 25 euros. Stunning room, amazing balcony with views. I could have hung out there all night.
