Spot was clean and very well put together. Plenty of amenities and the price was a steal. Good deal already and the discount from expedia even better. While i didnt see any daily staff other than the housekeeper, they were quick to respond to any requests even in the ealry early morning when i was locked out of the room.

Check in was easy and communication with Christina was effortless through WhatsApp.
Room was nice and clean towel service always available. We love the patio and jacuzzi. Just be careful coming out of the jacuzzi and shower as everything will be super slippery.
You are in the middle of the hustle and bustle and there is lots of shops, restaurant and a super market just around the corner. There are beaches in walking distance and the port is just around the corner. It’s a cozy and perfect spot to stay we love the hotel so much that we stayed in for a move and jacuzzi night. It is super romantic for couples. Really enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the lovely and spacious room, which was a highlight throughout. The staff (Christina) were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better.
The only downside I can mention is the terrace shade setup. It would have been nice if it could be removed, as we were eager to enjoy the sun whenever it appeared. A parasol might have been a better option, as the current shade blocks the sunlight more than expected.
Overall, a fantastic room and a very pleasant stay.

The space was all I needed. The location was in the heart of the car free old town area. More the enough shopping and restaurants were extremely close by. I took the bus from the Chania airport and walked maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Incredibly convenient location and easy to access.

My wife and I stayed in the “garden suite outdoor hot tub” on the ground floor. We absolutely love the room. Beautiful stonework, and super clean. Olda and Vicky were wonderful hosts. Location is absolutely perfect for exploring old Chania. Absolutely recommended.

The room was brand new and extremely well appointed. The hotel is close to everything yet very quiet. The most important aspect was the people. Vicki and Maria were very helpful with everything from parking to dining suggestions. Available by phone when we needed a question answered! Never had that experience in any other hotel

The bed was comfortable and really nice room.
Great shower and wonderful decor to the room.
Our only recommendation would be to add a hook for the hand towel by the sink (but with fresh towels always provided it was wonderful).
Absolutely amazing terrace with dappled shade, full shade and full sun depending on what you wanted. The outdoor chairs were so comfortable (I would love to buy them) and the hot tub was an absolute dream too on a hot day (and evening).
We had a great stay and lovely holiday. Positioned right in the heart of town.

Had an excellent 3 night stay at Qualia, the manager/host was always on the end of WhatsApp for any enquiries. The room was very comfortable and had modern fixtures. Great shower with luxury products. I loved the Nespresso machine/tea products. Having AC was a great experience. The hotel is in a very central location and within walking distance to many fine and local restaurants and also supermarkets. I liked the many local boutique shops in the vicinity. There was an excellent breakfast Buffett included which was in the hotel opposite. Next time I’m in Chania , I will stay here.

This was a gem of a room right in the heart of old town Chania. There was all that you could need in the room like a coffee maker, glasses and great wifi speeds. Bed is very comfortable.
The only thing to consider is that the room is not soundproofed so you do hear a little action on the streets below but it was nothing too hard to handle, and the blackout drapes do not fully block the lights from outside out. We are light sleepers but either didn't affect us negatively but should be noted because it is listed with those features.
Overall it was a great spot to stay for a very fair price while exploring Chania and we would stay here again.

Nice but noisy.
Great, central location with the main harbour just round the corner and shops/restaurants immediately outside.
We had room 1 which was on the ground floor immediately off the tiny lobby. Rather bizarrely there was an even tinier kitchenette right by our room door which other guests used late at night waking us up.
Then the thumping nightclub music and shrieking partygoers woke us up at 3am, 4am, 5am, 6am, would it ever stop? Finally at 7am some peace.
The room itself was large and quite stylishly done and had two WCs, outdoor jacuzzi and seating area. We liked it her room just not the noise. Being very good earplugs.

We were completely in LOVE with this little hotel. Whole hotel has maybe 5-6 rooms, each unique and decorated beautifully. The receptionist, Christina, was SUPERERB. I was texting her through WhatsApp 2 weeks before our trip with different questions, and she was both pleasant and timely with responses. On top of that, our room was incredible. Clean, excellent decor, functional, and attached private rooftop patio and hot tub were INCREDIBLE. Nestled in the heart of Old Town, just steps away from anything you could need - restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, the waterfront. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Delikat rom med flotte valg av alt man trenger. Hjelpsom vert og velfungerende aircondition. Enkel innsjekk
Eneste minus er at det er veldig lite beskyttelse mot støy fra naborom. Men for all del, dette er jo gamlebyen og det var neppe noe annerledes den gang bygningene ble brukt til boformål
