In 30 years of traveling, this was the most accommodating hotel I have ever stayed at. 10/10 all around. There were two women in particular, I wished I had their names, but they attended to every detail of my stay. If they are reading this, thanks again from Ohio!

Wonderful, stylish, small hotel. The staff were amazing and very helpful and friendly but subtle. Views of the harbour and lighthouse are fantastic and there are super dining options a few steps away. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Experience the old Venetian harbour life firsthand

A perfect location at the picturesque Venetian harbour in old town Chania. Comfortable, cosy hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Descent breakfast. Special thanks to the Cretan-Serbian girl Anka at the reception.

This hotel is in the absolute best location in Old Town Chania putting you in the center of all the action and the best views whether you like people-watching or staring at the sea. The room decor and amenities were definitely among the best I have seen. Everyone on the staff was cheerful, courteous and always going the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The breakfast spread was amazing too. We had an early check out at 4 AM and they made sure to send us off with a packed breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. The closest parking spots are a short stroll away but we didn't mind it at all because you can enjoy the beautiful views of the lighthouse or take in the charming narrow streets and pet the cats on your walk from your car. We would definitely stay here again to be in the heart of Old Town Chania and explore the countless beaches and eating spots along the coast.

Fell in LOVE with Scala de Faro, would recommend

Scala De Faro is an a total gem, right in the Old Venetian Harbor of Chania, Crete. Lefteris has been extremely courteous and helpful in arranging transportation, rental cars, suggestions of authentic Cretian Cuisine and the local hot spots. The room has an incredible view of the light house and our patio opens up to the beautiful harbor. The design of the room has clean lines and a modern feel. The beds are extremely comfortable and are promptly made up when we left for breakfast. The housekeepers are polite and left our room looking pristine. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an elite boutique hotel with the local charm in every employee. We can't praise Lefteris enough for making our stay in Crete, one of our most treasured memories.

Bel hôtel , charmant.

Boutique hôtel plein de charme. Chambre très belle décorée avec goût. Balcon donnant sur le vieux port, magnifique vue ! Attention au bruit en pleine saison, nous étions en avril et le vendredi soir on entendait les basses des bars. Petit déjeuner agréable, fait maison Le personnel est très sympa. Emplacement parfait dans la vielle ville. Un peu cher quand même pour de la basse saison.
