Our stay at the hotel was a delightful experience! Nestled in the charming old city, the ambiance was both romantic and inviting. The breakfast was a highlight with a great variety, and the staff's engagement truly added to our enjoyment. Accessibility to the hotel was a bit challenging due to its location in a car-free zone, but it definitely added to its unique charm. Overall, it was a memorable time at a beautiful hotel with a rich history.

This hotel has a fantastic atmosphere with wonderful views and is located right in the heart of Chania. The historic building adds a unique touch to the experience, and the breakfast provided is a delightful start to the day.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The ambiance is charming with its historic touches, and the location puts you right in the heart of Chania's old town. My room was spacious and beautifully decorated, making my stay quite comfortable. The dining experience was a highlight for me with a rich variety at breakfast, though I wish there were more options for dinner.

I had a wonderful stay at Porto Del Colombo, where the charming atmosphere and helpful staff made everything feel like a personal experience. The location in the old town provided easy access to restaurants and shops, while the beautifully decorated rooms offered comfort. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast options each morning. However, the walk from the nearest parking area can be a bit challenging with heavy luggage, which may be something to consider if you're not as mobile.
