Room is spacious and clean and in a good location. Only downside is you need to walk to the other side of the old town to check in, to then have to traipse across town with your luggage to your actual accommodation. Check-in should take place at the accommodation. You also need to visit that same place across town for breakfast each morning should you choose to include breakfast.

Elia Erato is a beautiful two-story apartment right on the port in Chania! The views from the balcony are absolutely breathtaking. There are bathrooms on both floors, and the downstairs bathroom even offers a lovely view of the port and lighthouse. We especially loved the downstairs shower — it includes a built-in sauna, which was a fantastic bonus. The location in the heart of the Old Town Port is incredibly convenient for exploring, though it can be tricky to find parking if you have a rental car. Overall, it’s a stunning apartment with an unbeatable location and unique features we really enjoyed!

Property was in a great spot, within walking distance for many places!!! They arranged our transportation when requested. Very comfy beds, fantastic shower!!! Only issue was jack hammering all day across the street, so very noisy at this time so may want to ask if it was completed before you book.

Pros: Fantastic location if you’re looking to stay near the old town harbor in Chania. It was the highlight of our vacation for my husband. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the harbor…incredible view…so we were able to enjoy the music and view from our room and when we wanted to retire for the night, we could simply close the door and hear nothing. There was more than enough space for my husband and three kids. Perfect for families! I think my kids managed to try the gelato from every shop in the area. The location is incredibly convenient for restaurants, shopping, nightlife, local site seeing, and transportation. Note that reception is not open 24/7. In order to check in, because we arrived so late, we had to go to a nearby sister hotel to check in and then walk back to our room. Distance was no more than five minute walk. Con’s: the location is not convenient for all excursions. Travel is often required to nearby towns in order to participate in some of the excursions. Many tour operators will pick you up near your hotel, but not all will. Those that do pick you up require 1 to 2 hours of commute before you reach your intended destination because they’re also picking up other tourist on the way.

The staff petson Peter was not very welcoming. It's inconvenient to not have anyone on site when checking in. We arrived late due car rental issues with tje company so we arrived very late. Absolutely no parking details when we booked that should have been upfront. And he wasn't helpful with that either. Though room and location was PERFECT.
