Awesome Iconic location built right into a 1600s fortress. Third floor walk up was tough on us though. If I came again I would have to stay on the second floor

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.

This cute hotel is in a perfect location in the beautiful harbor. Having a café on the first floor, lots of restaurants and shopping close by, a beach within less than 20 min walking, it was perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

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!!

Beautiful 16th century villa overlooking the port!

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! Best eggs I have ever had (Chef said the secret is in the fresh olive lol…), 5 stars and can’t wait to visit again. Thank you

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.

This is a good location to be in for the historic district. And the inn is quiet which was great. Also they included a delicious breakfast and the service was very good. However, our room was crazy small and the sheets on the bed were like newspaper. The air conditioning worked well so that was helpful. But the mattress was not good and they really should use better/softer bedding. The bathroom was quite nice and I liked their shampoos and soaps. But there was a bad smell in the room — not sure what it was. I would not stay here again but I also did not like the historic district as it is full of tourists and tourist restaurants with terrible and expensive food. (The breakfast at hotel was excellent)
