4 night stay in late March/Early April. Beautiful location on the harbor. Great atmosphere. Felt extremely safe. Eva was very welcoming and room was lovely. Parking is nearby and is free, and an easy walk with roller bags. Would definitely return and our visit wasn’t nearly long enough.

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

Charming boutique hotel

This was my favorite hotel in Crete. Very well decorated and stylish, while retaining a Greek islands feel. Eva and staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. The breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this for your stay in chania.

Very charming

Very charming old house overlooking the port. We had a very spacious room. Would come back anytime. Delicious breakfast served outside.
Kåre Degn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Robert, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

We checked out early, the next morning due to unacceptable conditions and unprofessional treatment at Alcanea Boutique Hotel. Our room was extremely small, barely larger than a walk-in closet, we had to turn sideways to move around. The hygiene was even worse: large amounts of long black hair were stuck to the shower walls, and the sheets smelled strongly of mildew, making them unusable. My wife had to use her shawl to drape over her because the sheets smelled bad. When we brought this to the manager’s attention, she denied responsibility and rudely implied we planted the hair ourselves, which was both offensive and unprofessional. We do not recommend this hotel.
Keith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A fantastic building in a fantastic location. Expertly restored, great amenities. We stayed on the top floor - the view of the Venetian Harbor from the balcony Is very hard to beat anywhere in the world for this price. Breakfasts are sumptuous. Aliki and Eva answered promptly all of our questions and we had a lot. Don’t worry that you can’t drive up to the hotel door: we rented a car and were always able to find a parking spot nearby.
Marta, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!!
Debbie, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Service above and beyond.

A 500 year old building does have its limits but the Alcanea is well worth the effort. The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and served with a smile. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The only minor complaint is the hot water was very patchy and the stairs are very steep. That isn’t surprising with the age of the building. A perfect place from which to explore Chania.
Julia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If I could give 10 stars, instead of just 5, I would! Eva, Nicos, and all the gals were so accommodating and amazingly helpful and generous. We got very spoiled by all of them, especially Eva! We stayed in the smallest room they have but it worked great. You have to be prepared going in that it is very small. Smaller than most US hotel rooms. But the view of the lighthouse, sea, and museum grounds made it so worth it. We loved it and it didn't bother us at all. We got to know many of the staff and other couples and realized that this location is the best in old town. Right as you enter the harbor/port, so easy access to everything in and out of the port area, especially Nea Chora beach, shopping and restaurants just steps away. The food was amazing and tried most of the hotel suggested restaurants and they were all very very good. Mostly outdoor dining with no bugs. Perfect! Besides the hotel and all the staff my favorite part of the trip was meeting the locals in the villages. Some were real characters and the food was authentic and delicious! Try the goat! I LOVED it! I recommend going in early to mid June. That is when we were there for 9 days. Then is before the big season rush and the weather was perfect. Around the mid 80's F and no humidity so perfect for about anything you want to do from beach to shopping. If you can afford longer I suggest 11 or 12 days. I could go on on on...

Quaint and lovely!

This amazing quaint hotel on the waterfront was just what we needed! A welcome surprise for first-time visitors to Chania. It had a lovely historic feel with alcoves, patios, windows, and beautiful views. The breakfast was delicious and the room was tidy and spacious and quiet. Decorations were reminiscent of an old villa. And the staff were so attentive and lovely! Highly recommend!

Romantic holiday

We are so glad we booked this small hotel. In the end of the harbor with great location and view over the lighthouse and the city. The staff was so friendly and you could tell they loved the hotel. The house is old But very charming and many old details are still there. We loved the room, it was clean, very comfortable bed, the bathroom was nicely decorated. If you looking for a small hotel with lots of love and style you should definitely book this!

This was one of the coolest hotels we have stayed in. It is a 500 year old castle. The rooms are huge, with very comfortable beds and the best rain shower. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to all your needs. They also give you a traditional Greek breakfast in the morning. The location was perfect with fun shops, restaurants and the beach. Thank You Renee and Alex
