"Highly recommend staying at Alcanea. Eva, our host, was incredibly helpful and friendly. The staff/service was great. And the complimentary breakfast offered lots of local options and all were delicious. Best part of this stay was the view and location. The view of the port was awesome with the water, local bars/shops, and mountains in the distance. And there were dozens of restaurants and shops offering all we might need/want. This hotel made Chania feel like home."

"The hotel had everything you need and was recently constructed so in great shape. In all my travels around the world, I have not met a more friendly group of staff. They literally did everything to make our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend staying here."

"Highly recommend staying in this lovely, charming old building which has clearly been lovingly maintained, and definitely make your way up to the rooftop seating area for a break from the street crowds."

This is a truly charming hotel, in a great location. The service was so so welcoming it gave us the best start to our holiday in Crete. The staff recommended great local food and the breakfast was just wonderful. I am so glad we went there. We will definitely be going back.

The property is very comfortable and well-located, and the staff Andreas is absolutely amazing, very friendly, and gave us all the information needed during our stay.
The bed is great, they offered lots of amenities in the room (air dryer, iron, bathrobe, etc).

A great stay here. Lovely hotel. We had a ground floor room facing the courtyard and it was perfect. Room was big and split level. Nice bathroom (not many toiletries though). Good air con. There was a kitchenette, which was really useful, with a nice big fridge. The hotel is very close to the old Venetian harbour, which was great and very convenient. We didn't have a sea view, but the terrace at the top of the hotel had the most fantastic view of the harbour and the sea. Breakfast was served on...

Room was spacious, clean, bed was enormous although the sheet was too small however this was only a minor inconvenience. having a kettle and fridge was fantastic. The bathroom was functional and the lack of shower curtain could be managed. I loved the location and didn't find it noisy. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The property was kept in excellent condition with a friednly owner and staff. The views were great and just as advertised. The location was an easy walk from the main village area allowing a balance between accesibility and quietness. The room was kept extremely clean and the staff were attentive to our needs. A great place which we will use again.

Michael was an excellent host. He was very helpful with all our questions and requests for recommendations. The homemade meal provided on our first day was a lovely gesture. We had a very good holiday at the villa.
