The room was so thoughtfully prepared – every last detail! Maria went out of her way to ask me if I needed anything at all. Please let me know. She told me about the history of the TOWN and gave me directions, recommended a place to eat, etc.. A really great place with really lovely hostess.

The hotel very good located some minutes walk and you're in harbor with plenty of restaurants and foods around. I was in room A2 which had a backyard so no terrasse or sea view but I was happy with that as it was totally calm and convenient for me. There's plenty of spots to park the car in front of the hotel which is very convenient. The owner is very welcoming and accommodating as well.

This was the most amazing place - all the conveniences, walking distance to the Zakros Minoan ruins, the tavernas and the beach. But who would want to leave Stella’s. I want to go back!

This was one of my favorite places that we stayed on our trip to Greece. The owner was extremely accommodating and helpful. The traditional styled apartment was absolutely adorable. My husband especially liked the fireplace. The apartment might be a little difficult if you’re tall or bigger as the doorways are low and bathroom is small. If you’re looking for something quaint that’s off the beaten path but still walking distance to a few restaurants, this is your place!

The location is terrifc- close to the water and the quirky alleyways but tucked away from the noise. Nasos is a great host- he is helpful and knowledgeable but not obtrusive. I would recommend staying here.

Very good host - sent lots of instructions about how to get to the property and what to do when we arrived. He offered to help find us a parking space, although we ended up not hiring a car. The room was in an excellent location right in the centre of Chania. Ear plugs were provided in the room although it was quiet anyway. We had a lovely view down a narrow old town street from our window. The bed was very comfy and the aircon worked well! Breakfast was lovely on the roof terrace! Would definitely recommend.

So first of all, very lovely hostesses!💝 We were so happy to reach this oasis of a hotel after a long day of travelling because we were greeted by a friendly smile and a beautiful room with all the amenities anyone would need for a short trip. Everything was super thought through- clean, comfortable bed/pillows and also personally, we loved waking up to the sun rays peeking through the window after deflecting from the trees!☀️ Shower had a nice strong pressure and was easy to use. We would definitely stay again🫶
