This property is in the heart of old town which is where you want to be. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, water and everything you need. Best location, however the front sofa bed is in the front which is noisy at night (but worth it). I would stay here again

The cleaner seemed to look after everything and was lovely. One negative is they told us that our credit card wasn't working. Indeed, none of our cards worked so we had to pay cash. There was no problem with the cards, they just wanted cash. I have no problem with that. Just be upfront about it. We wasted a lot of time on an overseas call getting our card checked out. Otherwise, the hotel is fine.

The place was perfect. Coffee maker and kettle were great for morning coffees. The room was spacious with a couch and a small fridge. Well situated...only 10 minutes from the bus station and right in the old town on a pedestrian only street. Clean, quiet and easy communication with the owners. Absolutely a gem and i highly recommend it.

Nice place but loud late at night.

We liked the room (room 2) and the location for accessing Old Town. However, it is really loud late at night. Both nights there was loud activity until 3:30 in the morning.

The information about a check in code was a bit late in coming but as soon as I chased it up the code was sent straight away. On arrival at the property the key box was easy to find and we were able to access the room easily. There was Raki in the room, this was a nice touch despite the fact that it’s not our tipple. The room was the studio apartment overlooking the street, it was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. There wasn’t a great load of storage space but it was adequate for us as we travel pretty light. Cleaning was done every other day which included a change of sheets and towels. The location is perfect for restaurants and bars and everything is within easy walking distance. It is quite noisy until early hours with music playing on some evenings but we still managed to sleep, to be honest it wasn’t so much the music but inconsiderate guests whom were waking us up. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Chania.

We found this apartment to be well situated in the old town and very convenient to the sights and well surrounded by good dining options. It is clean and modern and set up to accommodate some easy cooking and eating at home. The washing machine was a big plus for us. We had a balcony/ deck which was great for sitting outside. There was a welcoming bottle of wine, some raki and nibbles provided. The house keeper was lovely and very helpful to us.

The property itself was fine. The property manager left without giving us any way into the property. I had messaged her that our flight was delayed. She didn’t seem to understand that people traveling don’t have constant access to data. We got there and there was no one there and no one at the office or any note for us. Only by dumb luck did we find someone on the street who knew her and called her or we would have been sleeping on the street. Was a very stressful experience after a long day of traveling with many delays.

Awful experience - do not book Centro Storico

This was a pretty awful experience. I did not end up staying at Centro Storico because there was no wi-fi when I arrived. I was told the signal is generally weak in the historical center, but the cafes around the corner had a strong signal... I waited for an hour and went for dinner, but the problem persisted. I ended up leaving and booking another hotel to be able to attend an important online meeting. I called the manager to ask for a refund and she was incredibly unfriendly and kept saying I was wrong about the weak signal (even though the employee at the site confirmed it). Please do not stay here, the service is awful and there are many nice places closeby!!
