Amazing location on a charming side street in Chania and very walkable. Can be tough to find initially though. There was a large stain on the chair which I used the provided robe to cover it up. Strange smell in the room which was off-putting. Quite loud until 2am every night since there is a restaurant directly outside.

I booked a room with balcony and they gave me room with just a tiny window over the bed overlooking a roof of another buildng so it was useless! They said that hotels.com made a mistake and lied that the hotel didn’t had balcony’s bit clearly you could see one on the third floor! So Hotels.com contacted them and they offered me a room with balcony the next day of my two day stay! I didn’t want it after cuz i didn’t wanna go through the hustle of changing rooms and i was upset that they lied to me when they said that the hotel doesn’t have balcony’s! The room btw was ok for the money you are paying in Chania! Plus the check in is a mess! You have to go to a sister hotel of that one to check in but that is not mentioned anywhere! I had luck to ask one of the people who was staying there in the hotel already and help me out!

Elia hotels in Chania Old Town

When I arrived I found they had moved me to another nearby property, Elia Potie. The room they gave me was larger than what I'd reserved, and had very nice decor. And a small balcony! It is in the heart of shopping & restaurants, and a short walk to the harbor. The only drawback was that there was a popular nightspot on the ground floor of the building, with music and crowd noises until around midnight. The noise level wasn't too much, and should not bother you unless you're a light sleeper. Be aware, you will check in at Elia Betolo, a short distance from both Elia Dortheou Episkopou and Elia Potie. Breakfast is at Elia Betolo as well, if you reserved a room including that. Note that all three hotels are on the edge of the Old Town which restricts motorized traffic. If you have a car you will need to park and walk a distance to the hotel. Also, there are no lifts (elevators to Americans). There is only one key per room.

Cute and comfy hotel, the only problem is the noise from outside restaurant, even with the windows closed cannot be avoided. But it is not the fault of the hotel really, just something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper.

First time to Chania!

We loved how spacious the room was and the hotel is in an awesome location. Front desk suggested we go to Golden beach and we’re glad we did! Short public bus to the beach. Awesome stay.

Friendly staff couldn't have been more helpful when I told them of noise from event happening in street below. Was upgraded to double room away from noise for remainder of stay - thank you. This small hotel is excellently located close to pretty harbour, restaurants and bus station. Had a great weeks holiday.

Boa localização, mas muito barulho

Camas extremamente confortáveis. Hotel na região central de Chania, muito bom. O ponto negativo é que embaixo do hotel funciona um restaurante que tem pessoas falando alto até de madrugada, o que pode atrapalhar quem tem sono leve.

DELUDENTE

Stanza al piano terra troppo umida, tanto che è presente un deumidificatore, che però non risolve il problema. Mal isolata dall' esterno, dove è presente un locale che impedisce di dormire fino alle due di notte, quando chiude. Rumori e cigolii dalle scale e dai solai delle camere superiori. Raccordi della doccia montati senza guarnizioni, che, per assurdo, sono state lasciate all' esterno legate con un elastico. Il che causa un notevole spreco d' acqua.
