This is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at in my entire life and I will remember it always. It is extremely unique with beautiful decor, unique fixtures, and a wonderful staff.
We stayed on the top floor and had two balconies and a rooftop terrace. Each provided a unique and beautiful view of old Chania.
I looked forward to the delicious and varied breakfast every day that was made with such care.
If I didn’t have a life to go back to and had all the money in the world to stay, I would have!

Nous avons aimé le jacuzzi, l'emplacement, la sympathie du personnel du petit déjeuner.
Le petit déjeuner était correct.
Les conditions d'accueil étaient moyennes car nous n'avons jamais eu de réponse aux mails envoyés avant notre arrivée et ne savions pas comment prévenir le personnel pour récupérer les clefs alors que Expedia indiquait qu'on devait prévenir par mail en amont (ce que nous avons fait sans réponse).
Nous avons moins aimé l'odeur de la chambre n°1, ainsi que les solutions de parking.

Sjarm, beliggenhet og rimelig
Alt stemte med bilder og forventninger til sjarm og atmosfære.
Vi hadde terrasse på bakkenivå, egentlig vårt lille hjørne i en rolig gate.
Solen kommer ikke så godt til der, men deilig med AC innimellom.

We stayed in the Luxury City View Room. A uniquely quirky property located ideally nearby the Old Venetian Harbour. The staff were friendly and helpful and the apartment was always clean. The balcony gives a great view of Chania’s picturesque streets and the air conditioning was powerful enough that the room actually became rather cold when left on, providing a nice change from the scorching Cretan heat outside. There is a bar located nearby that can cause some noice pollution at night but no more than can be expected from a city location and did not cause any disruption to sleep. Though not a problem for us, getting to the apartment does require climb a set of steep and narrow spiral staircases. Overall the apartment was beautiful, the view was nice and the location excellent and would be highly recommended.

Misleading pictures on website. Parking was misleading; the ad said free nearby which was actually the public street parking which was constantly crowded and unavailable. The room was a four story accomodation. A small circular unsteady staircase made it very challenging to get any luggage to the upstair rooms. Recommended for highly athletic and flexible individuals only to challenge this staircase. Top level was hot and the AC was very very loud for the first day and mysteriously corrected itself. Nevertheless, it was nicely located in the old town.

The best part of this property is the location, the area is charming. We enjoyed walking around. the narrow streets. The thing I wasn't aware of until we got there was that there was a flight of 50 stairs winding up to the top floor.We could not take luggage thank God we rented a car so we had to take our clothes up in bags.

This was exactly what it said on the tin; quirky but luxurious, a funny but successful blend of traditional/antique looks and modern comforts. For 70 Euro I got a queen size, a tub with whirlpool AND a separate shower with heated towel bar, a mini-fridge and a bottle of raki. The only possible quibble I could make is this is actually multiple properties spread around the neighborhood all under the "Ifigenia" banner. But I have no reason not to assume that all do not deliver the same experience.

Old town cool
Really cute and quirky room with a little balcony overlooking the street and super close to the waterfront and lots of restaurants in the vicinity. Because it's an old house it's a bit creaky but bags of character outweigh this. Lovely friendly staff

Charming Hotel
We love the hotels charm. The room we got was a little small, but very cute. The location was perfect - in the middle of old town and just a couple of blocks from the harbor. We had to ask for coffee, not super accommodating or helpful. They do have WiFi but no breakfast.

centre de la vielle ville
Nous avons eu une chambre en duplex avec roof top et vue mer. Chambre sympa et bien décorée mais n'est pas adaptée aux familles, ni aux personnes âgées,ni aux personnes qui ont un peu du mal à marcher. Dommage que ce ne soit pas indiqué dans l'annonce, l'accès à la chambre devient vite problématique.
3ème etage, escalier en bois dangereux, dans la chambre il y a encore des escaliers en fer et pour profiter de la vue - il faut encore monter sur la terrasse sur le toit, par un petit escalier en se pliant en 4. J'aurais préféré la vue à partir de la fenêtre simplement, l'annonce n'est pas du tout claire dans ce sens. Heureusement que nous ne sommes restés q'une nuit.
Par rapport à la sécurité - nous sommes rentrés tard le soir et avons confondu la porte d'entrée dans l'immeuble avec la porte d'une autre chambre (entrée à partir de la rue). Pour vous dire - nous avons ouvert la porte de la chambre de qqn avec notre clé qui devrait n'ouvrir que la porte principale ! A vous de juger..

Very relaxed and comfortable, local atmosphere!
As I travel a lot and spend more than 120 nights in hotels a year, I grew to value comfort and service wherever I go. Staying in Ifigenia suites was, in a nutshell, fantastic. Ample space, local atmosphere and very nice and helpful staff.
I need to point out few things to give you better understanding of what to expect - this is literally centuries old house as is entire neighborhood. 500years and much more. Therefore, it is impossible to make rooms in style of modern chic boutique hotels. BUT! That is the point! Rooms are made to make you feel exactly right in time and location! Stone walls and seemingly simple and imperfect wall paint, there is feel of patina and murmurs of life from the street! Not the bad kind, but the one that make you feel not as a tourist but as you are at home there... And you suddenly start relaxing... Priceless!
Many thanks to very kind and helpful staff who did all to make our stay pleasant. Looking forward to stay there again!
