캡틴 바실리스 호텔

This was a very quaint and well located boutique style hotel. I believe it was rated 3 stars on line and nothing super fancy - but it was authentic. The rooms were clean and the view of the harbor from my room was stunning. It was great in the morning being able to open the window and watch the shops and restaurants coming alive below. The thing that made this hotel and my stay incredible were the staff though. I arrived late (few late running flights) after reception has closed - but called the number they provided and the person answered right away and provided me the security code to get into the hotel lobby. Waiting on the reception desk was my room key and note welcoming me and directing me to my room upstairs. The next morning I met Konstantina who effectively runs the hotel during the day - everything from reception to setting up breakfast. Breakfast is included in the room and consisted of pastries, fruit and Greek yogurt as fresh orange juice, coffee/espresso, and made to order eggs cooked by Konstantina. She was very helpful and very charming in providing me with ideas for exploring the town. She definitely made the stay that much more enjoyable. Another great thing about the hotel is they allowed me to store my luggage there on my last day as I had a later flight out and almost a full day left in town. I was able to come and go as needed on that last day. The hotel was just a short 200 meters from the taxi pickup/drop off and even less distance to the harbor.

Staff super friendly, beautiful location

Views of Chania Venetian harbour were superb all day long. Staff were very helpful and the accommodation was extremely comfortable.

Todella hyvin pidetty hotelli aivan vanhan kaupungin ytimessä.

Der Vorteil ist gleichzeitig der Nachteil: Die Lage direkt am venezianischen Hafen. Nur 6 Zimmer, in einem 400 Jahre alten Haus, ordentlich ausgestattet, auch mit neuer Klimaanlage. Eine tolle Aussicht, tolle Atmosphäre, von der Dachterrasse eine tolle Atmosphäre. Das bedeutet aber auch: Zugang durch die engen Gassen der Altstadt, keine Zufahrt mit dem Auto. Parken im öffentlichen Raum/an Straßen, so dass man mit dem Gepäck unter Umständen relativ weit zu Fuß laufen muss. Nachts ist es, zumindest im Sommer, von dem Treiben am gut besuchten Hafen, ziemlich geräuschvoll. Die Holz-Schlagläden dämpfen zwar etwas, man darf aber nicht empfindlich sein, unbedingt mit offenem Fenster schlafen wollen, - oder man feiert einfach mit. Kann aber bis 3 Uhr in der Nacht gehen… Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, gibt gute Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflüge in und um Chania! Das Frühstück ist „klein“, aber vollständig: verschiedene Kaffee oder Tee, frisch gepresster Orangensaft, diverse frisch zubereitete Eier, Brot, Wurst, Käse, Joghurt, frisches Obst, Cerejalien…. Alles da. Besonderen Dank an Konstantina, die leider nur vorübergehend (als Studentin in den Ferien) dort arbeitet.
