6/10 Good

Apartment was nice and spacious, bed was comfy and clean and the view is amazing. Unfortunately the apartment is above a night club and there was a lot of noise, also there was no hot water for a shower in the mornings. The check-in is at another hotel across the harbour and breakfast is at yet another hotel. Only a 5 minute walk to each but it’s not fun lugging bags in the heat through the centre of Chania.

Very spacious living area. It's like an apartment rather than a room. On 3rd floor, so if you have mobility issues, it's not for you.

The apartment was nice, just the bathroom was pretty small. The view from the roof was nice. The only downside was a parking. We got the map but the parking lots on the map did not appear safe so we had to look for our own parking for an overnight

Very close proximity to major viewing sites and newly renovated room but the partying noise in the neighborhood can be heard til 2 to 3 am everyday

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.

The pictures of the place is different from than actual property. I was told that they mixed pictures of another property and they offered another location to stay.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

BEWARE! This is the worst lie ever. It has nothing to do with the pictures or the description. 1) There is no parking. 2) In order to get to your room, you have to walk a quarter of a mile to the reception to receive a key. 3) Once inside the building, the first floor is 50+ steps up. 4) Inside the room, it’s old, dirty, and NO VIEW AT ALL. It looks over the rooftop of buildings. 5) People working there are rude. 6) When asked for help with the luggage when checking out, we were told there’s only one receptionist so they can’t. I highly doubt that the good reviews are real. Book at your own risk!
Verified review

4/10 Fair

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!

Rommet var greit med flott utsikt over havna, mange trapper opp ! Det står at rommet er isolert mot lyd. Dette er IKKE riktig ! Stor glippe over terrassedøren så lyden kom rett inn på soverommet, liten forskjell om døren var åpen eller lukket. I tillegg ligger rommet rett over en Night Club så det var mye støy på rommet frem til ca 4 om natten. Dette må utbedres, ellers så bør man ikke booke dette rommet.

Allt var bra, skön säng och mycket bra frukost på ett annat hotell. Incheckning var också på ett hotell intill. Lång trappa upp till rummet. Bäddsoffan för extra vuxen kan vara mer bekväm.

Grand appartement

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
