    Probably thin walls, while in a quiet area, it felt noisy at times. The breakfast was limited in options, but everything was super fresh and tasty. It could however be even better if it included just some extra egg options and filter coffee.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Location was perfect for an urban stay, located in the center yet in a quiet neighborhood. The bed was very comfortable, the room super clean and the bathroom was very nice. Provided luggage lockers were definately a bonus, since we did not properly sync our arrival to the check-in hours. Overall a value-for-money experience!

    Nice quiet hotel, easy reach from bus station and easy walk to all major museums and bus stops for out of town sites. No pressure from hotel reception, all very calm casual and polite. Added breakfasts to stay once at hotel and easy to pay on checkout. Rooms adequate and wasn't expecting or looking for 4star luxury. Comfy quiet little hotel. Excellent eating in small tavernas nearby.

    The breakfast is served in a not too welcoming basement room and a bit on the meager side choice wise. It is cheap though and may be more that enough for your needs.

    Super helpful and friendly staff that went out of their way to help us out with the bus schedule going inland. Located in a quiet part of the old town, very close to bars and restaurants without being bothered by the noise.

    The breakfast room was downstairs (lots of stairs), but we managed to enjoy the breakfast.

    Easy to arrive from bus station by foot and child friendly hotel is near everything. 👌 Fantastic staff! Our room (without a balcony) was on the first floor, ideal for prams. Good for two nights! Mini fridge was already cold when we arrived.

    Shower didn't have any curtains or doors so the bathroom floor was wet always after the shower.

    We stayed there only for 1 night. Room was quite small for 4 people but it was manageable as we slept there only for a night. It is a good place stay when you have a early morning ship to board from the port.

    This is a quiet little hotel tucked away in a back street. It's not new but the rooms are a good size, have everything that you need and are well maintained. Great location 5 minutes walk to the center of town.

    The room was a bit too small for 2 people. It would have been ok for 1 person, but moving around in 2 people was a bit of a struggle. In order to gain space, maybe they can add some hangers to put your stuff.

    Excellent position: just at the end of the historical city centre, so not too noisy but also at 10 m walk from the Morosini fountain. One extra point for the staff, in particular the concierge, who was extremely kind and helpful. Also the breakfast was good and rich.

    Nice, clean hotel and great value for money! The staff were so friendly and the location was great near the waterfront, a parking builiding nearby that costs 8 euro for 24 hours and it is a short stroll to the old centre. It had a mini fridge, comfy beds, nice bathroom with plenty of towels. It exceeded my expectations for a basic 4-bed room. I would definitely recommend!

    There was no elevator and I had to carry the stroller up on the very small and steep stairs. But the great staff offered help anyway. It’s also not their fault with the elevator as the building is so small and the layout doesn’t allow to have one. Wasn’t a big deal in the end. The breakfast was really simple. The orange juice is some yellow water with sugar. But that’s what I had everywhere in Greece so far if it wasn’t a five star hotel and the price of the breakfast was around 20€ + per person. In the end we wanted to have something to survive the time until noon for lunch and it did the job. I’m just writing this for the statistics of the pro‘s and con‘s.

    The room itself was simple and small but everything was made pretty clever and useful (lighting possible from just a bit to full which is good for sleeping with kids in one room, useful and enough power outlets). It was very clean and we even got free cold water on arrival which was a nice surprise. There was a not too small fridge that worked well and was really cold and also the air conditioning worked very good. The location is very close to the city center and it was only three minutes to the ocean with a cool view over the bay. A lot of small late night supermarkets and restaurants directly around. We only made a night stop after arriving in Crete before we continued to a 12 day holiday on the island and therefore it was perfect. The staff was outstandingly friendly and helpful. We felt welcome from the first moment on. On departure they let us store our luggage (and it was a lot) for free for another three hours. We would definitely come back. Next time maybe for a long weekend in the city.
