The 4.9/5 Google rating reflects consistent quality across both accommodations and event hosting.
Spent my birthday and wedding anniversary (same day) here and it was fantastic. The facilities are beautiful. You really do feel like you're in an old building but with modern amenities. There's this dark, luxurious ambiance that the hotel offers. Alex was very sweet and friendly. Alex's thoughtfulness made check-in and my breakfast very memorable and comforting. I met Andreas as I was leaving and he was interesting and charming. His blog and recommendations for Chania are informational gems. Finally book directly with the hotel if you can. It's usually a better deal for you as the traveler because sites like Agoda, Booking, Expedia, Travelocity, VRBO, AirBnB, etc., charge additional fees that are passed directly onto you.
