There was no parking close to the hotel and long walk with luggage to get there. No elevator from ground to 1st level. Breakfast was so so.

Wonderful, stylish, small hotel. The staff were amazing and very helpful and friendly but subtle. Views of the harbour and lighthouse are fantastic and there are super dining options a few steps away. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

A perfect location at the picturesque Venetian harbour in old town Chania. Comfortable, cosy hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Descent breakfast. Special thanks to the Cretan-Serbian girl Anka at the reception.

This hotel is in the absolute best location in Old Town Chania putting you in the center of all the action and the best views whether you like people-watching or staring at the sea. The room decor and amenities were definitely among the best I have seen.
Everyone on the staff was cheerful, courteous and always going the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The breakfast spread was amazing too. We had an early check out at 4 AM and they made sure to send us off with a packed breakfast which was a pleasant surprise.
The closest parking spots are a short stroll away but we didn't mind it at all because you can enjoy the beautiful views of the lighthouse or take in the charming narrow streets and pet the cats on your walk from your car.
We would definitely stay here again to be in the heart of Old Town Chania and explore the countless beaches and eating spots along the coast.

The property and the rooms are beautiful, the breakfast they offer has a lot of variety and was delicious. The only thing to note, because it’s in an older building you can hear a lot of stomping if you have rooms above you. One night it was extremely loud while we were there. Also another thing to note, they do have an elevator but it’s only once you walk up a steep flight of stairs to get to the first floor. So keep that in mind if you bring heavy luggage you will need to bring it up 1 flight up steps.

This is a lovely hotel in a perfect position on the harbor. We had a room with the harbor view and balcony and absolutely loved it. A lovely refurb of an old building. Great restaurant advice from the team - we ate at their recommendations several times. Only minor improvement opportunities if I had to be critical - its a big room, could have fit a king size bed easily instead of the queen and the bathroom sink has an auto on off so hard to get consistent running water at the right temperature. Definitely not deal breakers!

Boutique hotel in the middle of the port area. Walk to all. Very good breakfast. Outstanding staff - very helpful. In spite of being in a busy area, room was quiet. Modern styling and amenities in a very old building. Lots and lots of nearby restaurants.

This was one of the highlights on our trip to Greece. Had the balcony room on the first floor overlooking the harbor. So close and convenient to everything. I really didn't want to leave the room. I loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the people from the workers preparing their restaurants in the morning to the the cruise ship passengers during the day. The room was perfect. Breakfast was good with a variety of options. You can get a variety of coffees and eggs if you want. I would come back here again and again.

Nice free upgrade after difficulty finding hotel. not convenient given lack of vehicles into old chania port. staff friendly; one genteleman very rude and snippy.
5.0
Amazing boutique hotel in the heart of the old city. Unbeatable location, right on the water. Very helpful staff helped us arrange a rental car, upgraded our room to sea view free of charge. Getting to the hotel is a little different than your average hotel. No cars are allowed into the old city so you have to walk about ten minutes with your luggage down some cobble stone streets. The staff are very helpful and will come out to the road to help you with your luggage if you can coordinate with them. We arrived late at night by bus so it was a bit trickier for us. Its perfectly doable but if you are less able, definitely coordinate with the hotel for check in. Rooms are fantastic with high end finishes, we loved our balcony overlooking the harbor.

I don't normally write reviews, but I feel this hotel deserves one because the experience was that good not to share. From the minute we arrived and every moment after we were continually surprised.
The rooms were beautifully designed and well equipped, it truly had everything you needed and more. The quality of service was sensational, with all of the staff from the chef, front desk to cleaning staff were so friendly and attentive - you just can't help but smile and think "what an amazing hotel". No request ever seemed too much. As for the location it’s very well located and easy to get everywhere. We cannot fault this hotel at all, if you appreciate friendly staff and a true 5-star experience seriously look no further you won't be disappointed.

A great boutique hotel with lovely decoration. My girlfriend and I had fantastic time at the presidential suite on the top floor. Hotel manager Christina was very helpful. The kitchen staff (great breakfast!!) and cleaning ladies were very friendly and helped us having an amazing holiday. We will for sure come back.

Great location in Old town, wish we would have just splurged on the room with sea view. The staff was very nice. On our second day we wanted to do the Samaria Gorge hike (highly recommend) they helped us book that and had a packed lunch waiting for us the morning of the hike. Highly recommend this hotel.

The views from this place are great if you are facing the water. Located right in the middle of the harbor for easy access. The breakfast is sub par but since the hotel is small it makes sense. One of the rooms we stayed in was non smoking but it was very clear there was smoking in the room. Overall a pleasant experience.

We had the most amazing stay at scala. The presidential suite is gorgeous and tastefully done with an amazing view. Angeline at the reception gave us the best recommendations for restaurants, beaches and shopping and the staff was generally wonderful about everything.. !!

Wonderful stay – perfectly located hotel on the harbour with stunning views if you have a sea-facing room. Helpful staff and beautifully designed rooms. Worth noting that there is a flight of stairs up from reception to the rooms, but the team always offered to help with luggage. Would definitely return!
