Stay away from this place!

This place was bad. And I mean, really bad. The owner/was extremely unfriendly and rude. And demanded cash upon my arrival. This is never happened to me before. But that’s OK, I dealt with it but he continued to be extremely rude and mean and very unfriendly. The rooms were extremely bare had no amenities at all. No soap, no kettle, no coffee, no tea. Stairs up to the rooms was extremely steep. Then I had to take an additional spiral staircase up to my room that was extremely rickety and unsafe. Also, the rooms are not in the location that Google maps brings you to. Please be aware of that. The rooms are located in an Old Town, that is actually is a great location. If it wasn’t for that, I definitely would’ve just left.

I messaged the hotel 8.59pm that I was just about to arrive as my bus was delayed. Check in dead line was 9pm. There was nobody when I arrived, telefon number on the app didn’t work, could hear it ringing and nobody to answer. Found another number and the person showed up after 15-20 minutes. He said my room wasn’t paid and wanted cash. Wouldn’t give me the WiFi password to arrange payment, said I had to pay cash first to get the Wi-Fi. The most unfriendly experience I’ve had checking in. The room was surprisingly clean and comfortable though. I’d rather pay a little more and get much better service.

Perfect location and ...

The little cozy hotel is clean and tidy and has lots of potential to develop. The gentleman who takes care of it is of great help: we arrived at any time we liked , he kept out staff on the last day and was very agreeable at all telephone communication. We felt at ease.

Horrible place

To stay at Kidonia property was a nightmare. Very rude unwelcome owner and totally luck of care for the guest. In that property there is no formality check in with documents, I could be anybody. I was really surprised when I sow the reception and then the room, this property should be banned from hotel.com and others web site and closed from the authority. Seriously danger, unhygienic, dirty, smelly place. No toiletry and when I asked for it he just gave me a used soap. We had to make the bed ourself, the onwer took from the wardrobe 2 blanket with disgusting smell. When I asked a broom to clean myself the room he gave me a dirty one full of builder dust and hairs. When I asked the hair drier he refused to gave me, saying it was to late and I was going to make noise for other guest. The toilette was dirty smelly, the shower curtain was full of mould everywhere and we could use it, so water all on the floor. During the day we went back to the room to leave some shopping but we found builders on the stairs with the onwer, for them was normal paying guest, who at some point the builders told as “its only dust...” Hotel.com should seriously consider to remove Kidonia room from the website as I always thought the high standard I found in hotel.com.

A very dated and tired set of rooms. Typical back packer domain - cheap and cheerful when all you want is for somewhere to sleep when not out and about enjoying the sights of the splendid Old town. Some basic cooking facilities were provided and there was a compact shower room and toilet. All in all not a bad stay, if like us, clean sheets, a comfortable bed and no uninvited guests are what matter most.

Perfect location in Old Town Chania right by the harbour. Very nice owner. Cash only. Room wasn't that clean, but fine for the price. Would stay there again.

Hotel was in alright shape. Wasn't expecting a 5 * or something epic at this price. Location is great since you're right next to most bars.

No Room for us, despite Expedia confirmation

I booked a room for a one-night stay at Kydonia at about midnight--when we decided to make the trip to Chania in the morning--for later on that day. We received Expedia's confirmation email, indicating that our reservation was confirmed and that there was no need to follow-up. Despite that email, I did try to call the Kydonia # that Expedia listed, but the call went to a fax machine. Once we got to Kydonia, we were told by a very unfriendly man at reception that there weren't any rooms. He refused to look at my email confirmation and left in a rush telling us to wait in the sweltering reception area. During the 15-minutes we waited, we called a nearby hotel to check if they had a room and the owner came within minutes to offer us her one available room. Unfriendly guy at Kydonia did finally return saying he'd take us "to a friend's place" for ten more Euro that my original reservation! Not once did he apologize for Kydonia's mistake, so needless to say, we didn't do business with this guy.

Funky Charming Rooms close to Venetian Port

Ask for the loft room(s?) with balcony facing the street. A bit louder but worth it! Really funky nice place super close to Venetian Port. Nice owner who lives there, and speaks good English

Great off-season rate, right in the old city, close to Venetian Port. Ask for loft rooms, with super high ceiling and balcony facing street. Owner speaks great English, and is helpful. Standard free WiFi, good towels, and useable mini kitchenette.

Old Chania location

This is a "tired" hotel right down in Old Chania. We stayed one night in the large room for four with the kitchenette and 2 nights in the smaller double room. The kitchenette is not fully equipped. It did have a refrigerator, couple of burners, sink, a few dishes and cookware. The smaller double room only had a refrigerator, no kitchenette as advertised. The towels were threadbare and were supplied only once. No daily maid service. Shower sprays water all over the bathroom floor. The beds are hard with only loose sheets. The manager is on site 24/7, watches comings and goings, and is helpful but businesslike. I had to pay cash for my room. No safe in room, but a key for the door. Neighborhood is noisy from tourists, but I slept well due to being exhausted from traveling. It has old world charm and could be fixed up to be so much nicer. Felt safe, walked everywhere.
