We stayed at Ionas Boutique Hotel in October and we still talk about this place. Well, it is my kind of hotel. It is not loud, flashy and obnoxious but not forgettable. It is on a quiet street but in just a few steps you'll find all the excitement of the old town-restaurants, shops, the Harbour. We were initially worried that it would get rowdy but it was so quiet and peaceful yet not isolating. Our room on the second floor was lovely, the balcony was romantic. The bathroom was a tad small but we knew what to expect. The breakfast at the courtyard was heaven! It was wonderfully prepared and amazingly served. The staff we met were friendly, warm and helpful. Ionas Boutique Hotel speaks to the heart. Oh, I would love to stay there again! And Chania...I left a piece of my soul there!
