Alcanea Boutique Hotel

“The location of this delightful hotel is first class, quite the best spot in Chania Old Town for a beautiful view of the Old Harbour. It is a perfect spot to sit under the thick vine trellis and watch the world go by whilst having a delicious breakfast or drinks. The breakfast is wonderful, particularly the fennel pie and delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff are so sweet and very helpful, as everyone has remarked on already. We had the harbour facing suite on the first floor with small balcony overlooking the harbour and it was enormous with beautiful ensuite. The decor is not really to my taste but it seems to appeal to plenty of other people. They took good precautions against Covid and we really enjoyed our stay so very much during these difficult times. All in all a terrific experience and we would definitely stay again, hopefully soon! Thanks to Eva and all your lovely staff!”

“I got upgraded to an extremely beautiful and huge room overlooking the harbour. It was such a pleasure to stay in this room for a couple of days. The staff were very kind as well, and made sure I could have breakfast before my early flight. Thank you very much, Alcanea, I really hope to return one day!”

“The hotel managerEva was wonderful. She upgraded our rooms and gave us an entire floor for us and the kids. She and the staff of the restaurant were extremely nice and breakfast was amazing. The rooms were luxurious and were overlooking Chania’s old town. We highly recommend this hotel.”

“Our stay at Alcanea was simply wonderful and made our trip memorable. Although a lot was due to the beautiful room with the sea view and large terrasse and the delicious breakfast, the highlight was definitely Eva, the hotel manager! It was like having your personal tourist agent. Without her, we would have never found those gem spots and great local restaurants. Having travelled in many places in the world, we never received such a service and attention! She is definitely a key asset to the hotel! I wish all hotels had a Eva! As to the breakfast, it was even better than the buffet breakfast we had in the 5 star hotel where we stayed previously in Elounda! The quality of the food and attention to details was fantastic. Also, the hotel is absolutely charming, extremely well located in the old historic center with a nice view on the port. And finally, the icing on the cake was the exquisite music choice. So many times hotels forget how important music can be to create an ultimate pleasurable experience. That was one of our key criticism in the 5 star hotel we stayed previously. We highly recommend this hotel! And of course Chania and its surroundings is absolutely amazing!”

“Great location, right by the water. Really lovely hotel which has been restored to a good standard. Staff were very friendly!”
