We traveled as a family: two of us and our 1.5-year-old. The room we stayed in was spacious. The beds were relatively comfortable, and the room was clean and well maintained. The biggest treat was the view. We had a room on the fourth floor with a spectacular view of the bay and the sea beyond. Breakfast was served on the top floor, and the dining area also had a spectacular view of the sea. The breakfast options were some of the best we experienced, including self-made Greek coffee and a self-assembled traditional Cretan meal, a hand juicer to make your own fresh orange juice an loads of other options for food and drinks. In January, the room was a little chilly and slightly humid, and this was an unpleasant combination. But thankfully the heating element worked well enough, and we made it fairly comfortable in the end. The staff were very friendly. There is a small tea/coffee bar on the ground floor which needs to be serviced by the concierge. There is no tea kettle in the room itself! This was probably the only downside for our stay since we would have liked to warm up some of the water for our daughter or had the ability to make tea ourselves. Lastly, there is a laundry business just a few steps away from the hotel. The man who runs the business dropped off our clean laundry at the hotel. So, keep this option in mind as you travel. As a whole, this hotel was excellent. Get a room with a sea view. It is worth it.

Good hotel but need a proper overhaul

We stayed for one night, as we were taking the ferry the next morning and this hotel is at one of the best spots in the town. This is an old building and needs a proper overhaul, especially since the bathroom is very old. It is good for a one-night stay. Breakfast is on the top floor overlooking the port and provides one of the best views on the island! Breakfast is ok, not bad.

The room was ok. The pillows were like rocking chairs though. (Head kept rocking back and forth because they were so uneven.) The bed was very hard but my husband liked it, so maybe not the worst for everyone. But the bathroom was not great. The shower leaked and the floor was filthy. The rest of the room wasn’t cleaned very well either. Found hair on the pillowcases when we first arrived. The location is great, however. And the check in was easy.
