Only criticism was no formal reception area.

No breakfast provided but excellent seafront cafes and bakeries literally 1 minute around the corner. Spacious, clean rooms. Lovely showers and very comfortable beds. Excellent location, fab views. Really helpful staff.

Nicely appointed and comfortable accommodations in an excellent location. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Paula was so helpful with recommendations and arranging our taxi to the airport. We highly recommend Aelios Design Hotel.

Nothing not to like - all very good

Lovely hotel in great location in old town. Very nice clean rooms and staff could not have been more helpful. Would definitely return.

Being fussy - stairs are an effort with lots of bags…..but it’s not a big five star facility with lifts ! !

Fourth time staying here. Perfect location for old town strolling - without the noise. Lovely clean/ fresh rooms. Just what is needed.

the location, the people who run the hotel

The parking is roughly 100 meters away and the roads are a little rough for larger suitcases.

Location is perfect, at the edge of the old town. Super friendly staff, kept our luggage when we went for a hike (incl. Overnight) and we're able to pick it up later. Rooms are spacious and very modern. In general, the hotel looks beautiful.

The bedroom door couldn't be closed as the bed was in the way. Air conditioning in the bedroom was very loud, but we found a way to reduce the noise on a lower fan setting

Great location in the centre of the old town of Chania Warm, welcoming and efficient check-in Great size of room and bathroom Comfortable bed Very useful to get free towels for the beaches

The people were very accommodating, great location and a comfortable hotel.

The only possible drawback that might not suit everyone is that there are lots of steps, unless you're staying on the ground floor then you'd be fine.

This hotel was exceptional, all of the extra little personal touches they thought of really made a difference. The bed was big and extremely comfortable. The rooms are all individually designed with their own theme and decorated with local art work/pottery. Everything was very clean and modern, including a powerful, hot shower. The location is ideal, you step right outside into the beautiful old town of Chania and you're only a few steps on to the port. However, the hotel was at a quiet end of town meaning zero noise disturbances. There are also excellent black out blinds making the room nice and dark as well as cool with the air con.

Nothing.

It was like an oasis of tranquility but literally ten paces from the old town. Beautifully finished, spotlessly clean and the manager and owner were charming and simply lovely.

What a lovely place! This small hotel is actually a renovated house, but it feels so cozy and at the same time quite luxurious. Everything you could need is there, super clean, and really comfortable. The location is just perfect – only a couple of minutes walk to the harbour and the parking area, which made things so easy. The people running it are incredibly friendly and helpful, and that made the stay even nicer. It honestly felt like a little hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Nothing! I will say that if you are not able to climb stairs (with your luggage) this hotel is not for you. But that was no problem for my partner and I.

This hotel is perfect! It is at the outer edge of old town Chania, which means you can walk out the door and be right in the old city but it remains quiet at night. The whole hotel is beautifully designed, starting with the entry courtyard. It is a great place to have a coffee in the morning or bring a bottle of wine in the evening for a quiet night. The rooms are also beautiful, perfect size, and very clean. The hotel is not accessible by car, but you only need to walk to the end of 1 cobblestone street to reach it from Talos Square. There is no parking at the hotel but they have a few spots reserved in a small lot about a 5 minute walk away. I was amazed to get to stay in such a nice place for this price, especially in peak tourism season.

The personnel of the hotel was very kind and helpful. And we liked the location-though we were in the very center of Chania, the site is a bit aside and very quite at both day and night. Regarding breakfast-we did not mind hotel does not provide-we found a nice place at the sea side.
