Awful experience!
Upon arrival we were told there was no shuttle service available and we would have to walk 15 min from the bus station in a heat advisory with our luggage. We were not able to secure an early check in so we walked around as they don’t have a real lobby. The small lobby they do have is extremely warm even with fans blowing. Here’s the juicy part, there is no where on the ad where it states the room is located away from where you check in. We had to walk some more up a hill through the town on cobblestone. The only decent part was they had a guy help with the luggage. Upon getting to the actual room, we were told there is NO ELEVATOR and we had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. For someone with previous knee injuries, this was not ideal. Getting into the room we sat on a hard as a wooden board couch, and although the building is old, it just wasn’t clean. It was quite dusty and we ended up wiping everything down. After 1 night we decided we could not keep hiking those stairs everyday of the trip. I went to the reception desk to inform them of all the issues and rather than an apology for their lack of transparency about the state of the property and the lack of amenities, I was met with constant argument. I checked out and requested a refund for the remaining days as we had to find another hotel and was told by them they could not do so. I had Expedia contact them and they doubled down. DO NOT STAY HERE! These people are dishonest and not helpful!

Everything was great. It was clean, central to everything. There are two nightclubs right below, and in Greece the clubs go on until 4am so just keep that in mind. The AC and YouTube can drown out the 2000s pop beats. Everything is really great, it’s just loud at night.

Apartment was well done and clean though slightly small for three people. The view was excellent. Communicating with staff was generally a bit difficult. They had very little information to give to us regarding sightseeing which was a bit disappointing.

First off, check in was a disaster. Searching for the check in, while lugging suitcases for over an hour in the heat was not ideal- The area was pedestrian only, and parking outside of the pedestrian area was impossible to find. Because we couldn't find the check in area, we went straight to the hotel. It was locked, although we could see a reception area through the window. I finally reached someone by phone who said they would be right over to check us in. He arrived about 20 minutes later. He did say we could call to have help with the rest of our bags that were in the car, but we had parked so far away, that we didn't know when we would be going back that way to retrieve them. Our room was ok, it was clean, and the bed was comfortable- the photos showed a wonderful harbor view, but in reality, the balcony overlooked the backs of some restaurants. The harbor was actually in front of the restaurants. We were also on the third floor, and the hotel hallways were not air-conditioned, so it was a hot climb up. My boyfriend and I are in somewhat good shape for mid 50's, but this would not have worked for someone who is not fit. There was supposed to be some items left in the room as complimentary, (I believe water and a few other things), but nothing was left in the room. Overall, a big disappointment. I've been to Chania before, and we were assisted with parking, luggage, and had people on site. If I return, I will be staying elsewhere.

The location and quality of the apartment are lovely. The apartment is in the heart of old town directly around the corner from the harbor. Management was polite and prompt when it came to check in. I’d stay there again.

this studio was really nice I had a balcony with a city view a king size bed and small kitchen but with all the restaurents it was not necessary. Demetra was especially nice and helpful with and information need and check in was easy. the only thing to not with this unit is there are a lot of steps to the apartment but the have units in other buildings if that is a problem.

Disappointing
We were initially put in flat 1 which was a lot smaller than photos in the listing. It had very bare furnishings, no bowls or kettle, a missing shower door and a plugin hob instead of a fixed cooking stove. After being denied a refund from the hotel manager we were moved to flat 2 which was a lot more spacious and was pictured in the listing.

Très beau appartement points positifs : en plein centre appartement tout confort Points négatifs : demande et payer une chambre supérieure avec vue hors j'ai eu une vue côté rue vue sur toit dommage. Le lit est fait tout les jours pas forcément le nettoyage L'entrée dans le bâtiment est assez étroit A retenir également que cet hôtel tous ne se passe pas dans le même bâtiment à savoir la réception dans une rue, le petit déjeuner dans la même rue mais un autre bâtiment et les appartements dans un autre bâtiment pas très loin certe mais je ne trouve pas ça simple pour une personne qui n'a pas le sens de l'orientation ça doit être assez compliqué
