Excellent hospitality and very polite staff. The location is very picturesque. The street was a bit noisy at night but nothing to really mention as a problem. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfekte Lage und sehr freundlicher Service

Wir waren für sechs Nächte im Hotel in Chania. Die "Rooms" sind in einer sehr schön renovierten Altbauwohnung in der Altstadt. Man kann mit dem Auto nicht in die Altstadt fahren. Die Zimmer sind nur ca 500 m von der befahrbaren Straße entfernt, so dass man schnell dort ist. Die Rezeption ist zentral in einem der Elia Hotels. Dort gibt es den Schlüssel und auch die Möglichkeit zu Frühstücken. Das Frühstück ist sehr empfehlenswert. In der Nähe sind sehr viele Tavernen, Bars, Cafés, Restaurants, Geschäfte etc. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet. Man kann auch die Einrichtungen anderer Eliahotels in der Nähe nutzen, z.B. die Dachterrasse der Zentrale oder die Strandbar mit Liegen und Sonnenschirm in Aghia Marina. Man bekommt dort 10% Ermäßigung auf alles, was man konsumiert. Die Liegen / Sonnenschirm sind kostenlos. Besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit sind die Mitarbeiter/innen am Empfang. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
