Everything is superb here, had a very nice stay for an absolutely fantastic vacation. Absolutely perfect setting, it's short walk to the local restaurants and a bridge across the street. Need to add that there's lots of restaurants to choose from, like Happy Gathering, located within 15 minutes walk or so.
Views are nothing special.

This hotel was wonderful base for exploring Platanias, appreciated it and property's exceptionally attentive and caring staff from the maids to management. The rooms were contemporary, brand-new with view, ideal for us. The setting was magnificent, really close to Chania town centre, beautiful place, the restaurants and an overhead bridge. Found time to see Platanias Beach, that's relatively close to the property.
It had hard beds, maybe it was bad luck.
