My stay at this hotel was quite nice with large, clean rooms that offered a beautiful view of the sea. The location is perfect, as it’s just a short walk to Chania's charming main town and right on Nea Chora beach. Although the mosquito situation was a bit bothersome at night, the friendly staff made up for it. Overall, great value for money, but I wish the dining options were a bit more varied.
