Ionas Boutique Hotel

The hotel was central and very clean. Room was a good size and comfortable. The area is quiet despite it's central location near to the harbour and tavernas.

This particular area of Chania comprises narrow lanes and there is little chance of having a view from windows. I arrived at the hotel to find nobody there and reception locked. There was a contact number (thank goodness for mobile phones) and somebody arrived quickly within 5 minutes, so might be an idea to give the hotel an arrival time. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay in Chania (but not for a long break). I do not feel that it can be classed as a boutique hotel (to British standards anyway), more of an equivalent would be a good contemporary English b&b. Poor value for money. My experience in Chania is that there is lots of accommodation and the price does not necessarily reflect what might be best for each persons particular needs. e.g. Later in the holiday I went back to Chania for two days and found a studio with large balcony with sea and mountain views, just behind the harbour, including small kitchenette for half the price I paid at the Ionas.
