We absolutely loved this hotel. The location is perfect in Old town Chania. We had a beautiful view of the lighthouse from our room. It is on the end away from most of the noise. The room (4), building, were beautiful. The breakfast was delicious, service was great. We also enjoyed a glass of wine at night too. Ava was delightful and so welcoming!!!! If you are okay with stairs you have to stay here. Remember its a 500 plus year old building. Its not perfect and not American ADA compliant.

Very convenient place, overlooking the water, and the manager is super nice. I think her father owned the property. The rooms are small, the standard ones, but they will do. The breakfast is good, but can get busy with one person doing all the serving since no burette. Also, I wish breakfast could start earlier.

Great stay.

Excellent accommodations! Very nice staff who were extremely hospitable. The only issue I had was the parking situation. They state there is parking available but it’s street parking which is available to everyone, not just the hotel. This is a major issue and they need to change this on their services on the App.

The Alcanea hotel is a most unique property. It is decorated in a way that emphasizes the 500 year old fortress it is a part of. The bed was amazingly comfortable, with lovely bedding. It is situated perfectly with wonderful views, and great walks. The breakfasts were delicious! We enjoyed the Cretan foods. The staff are very kind! Eva always had time to chat and give us ideas of where to go and what to do. Georgia served us breakfast every morning. We enjoyed her very much. Our cleaning lady, was also a gem! We will plan to go back again! Enjoyed every minute!!

Loved the hotel! Excellent location on the quiet end of the Ventian port. Beautiful view over the bay. Feels like staying in a small castle, beautiful decor with modern twist. Staff so friendly, offers many of their personal favorites for restaurants and bars. Breakfast is fabulous!

Beyond outstanding

We absolutely loved the Alcanea Boutique Hotel! It is located toward the end of the harbor in Old Town, a perfect location from which to explore the charming area. Our hosts, Nikos and Eva, were most welcoming. Our room was nothing short of spectacular--spacious and beautifully decorated. Comfy bed, wonderful shower, amazing view. The breakfast, too, was outstanding. There really aren't enough stars to indicate how wonderful this place is. Needless to say, the Alcanea is highly recommended!

Staying inside a 500 year old historical building is an experience of its own! High 4-5 meter ceilings, beautiful views. Furnished with taste, and you get normal Wi-Fi and modern comfort including AC. Eva and Petros were very welcoming and eager to please, even at low season they were just a call away. Breakfast served at the table in an outdoor cafe. Beware there is no lift here if you have problems with steps. Free parking within a few minutes walk.

Our room was charming and wonderful with high ceilings and a balcony with a great view. Eva was very sweet and attentive. The location is perfect being just at the end of the harbor so it’s easy to walk to all the great sights but not right in the middle of the noisy parts. Breakfast was good. The only bad thing was parking. GPS navigation sent us to dead end streets. Eva had emailed me instructions on where to park but my cell phone died so were using my husbands. We called and she recommended one spot but the lot was full so we ended up parking at another spot which was a 10 minute walk away. Not a big deal but hard to do lugging our luggage.
