Breakfast and Accessibility
Breakfast is served daily from 8:00 to 11:00. The hotel provides a stair chair lift, elevator, and mobility-friendly room accommodations for guests with impairments.
Central Harbor Location
The hotel sits at the Old Venetian Harbour, steps from the Nautical Museum of Chania at the Firka Fortress entrance. It's 15 km from Souda and surrounded by al fresco restaurants and cafes lining the waterfront.
Local Exploration Options
Guests can take guided Segway tours through the city's back alleys. Nearby beaches like Loutraki offer shallow waters and fine sand for families. The area features shops selling local souvenirs and traditional Cretan dishes including moussaka and dolmades.
“Staying here places you squarely in Chania's Old Town, inside a beautifully maintained, historically significant building-the location is hard to beat, and the staff clearly aims to please. I especially appreciate the thoughtful touch of providing packed breakfasts for early departures; it speaks to a level of service that prioritizes the guest experience.”
