All the warmth and hospitality that you feel everywhere inside the hotel has made us fall in love with this place! amazing architecture of the building that was preserved in a very elegant and respectful way creates a cozy atmosphere in the garden where delicious breakfast is served. Rooms are quite small but fit a huge king size bed and everything that you might need like a tea coffee station, luggage rack and sufficient wardrobe.

The shower cabin was a bit small. The bed mattress was a bit too soft for our backs, but I really appreciated the mattress topper that gave a cloud like feel.

Perfect location, clean, calm, cozy hotel.

**A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the City** Our stay at Iona’s Boutique Hotel was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with an exceptionally warm welcome that set the tone for our entire visit. The hotel’s location is perfect—tucked away in a quiet, picturesque alley, yet just steps away from the vibrant heart of the old city. It truly offers the best of both worlds. The breakfast was a particular highlight, with delicious, homemade options that made each morning a treat. The fact that it's a family-run business adds a charming, personal touch that you don’t often find elsewhere. Overall, Iona’s Boutique Hotel is a beautiful and serene oasis, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Check out could have been later than 11:00

Sofianna was always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, giving us tips on local beaches to visit (Marathi was our favourite) and local places to eat. Our room was spotlessly clean, breakfast was outstanding and personalised. The soundproofing on the windows was amazing, it blocked out all external noise. We were in the newer building with only 1 room on each floor which made it very private.

Stairs are quite steep with no lift in the newer building, something to be aware of although the older side did have a lift.

An excellent family run hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Convenient central location easy walking in the local streets and to the harbour. Nice breakfast with base theme and daily variations served in a cosy outdoor courtyard. Great choice of local restaurants

Very little. One very minor issue which could improve: Fridge and kettle shared one socket so to use the kettle you have to disconnect the fridge!

Location was excellent and all the pretty, and picturesque streets, restaurants and bars were around. Staff were very helpful and smiley and when I needed them, their response was immediate.

One small comment / feedback... I arrived very late as my flight was the latest one from Athens and there was no drinkable water in the room. It would have been nice to have either a complimentary bottle of still water or even an option in the fridge to pay. There was a bottle of water on the bedside table which was refilled the next day as well but it wasn't drinkable at all - not sure where this was filled from but the taste was very odd so a bit questionable. Everything else was excellent so this is mainly a comment for the hotel to use constructively :)

The property was so lovely - right in the old town! The room and bed was very comfortable. The staff especially Sofianna was incredible - so helpful right from the start and helped us with anything we needed including booking an excursion to Balos beach. The breakfast was delicious and it felt wonderful having this in the courtyard. We would definitely love to come back!

Excellent location in the old town. The property is down a charming walk-way which is tucked away and protected from the noise of the al fresco dining nearby, yet this is less than 2 minutes away. Lovely family who owns and runs the hotel. Very special freshly made breakfasts and good coffee. Good air-con and wifi. Very glad to have stumbled upon this little gem.

Nothing.

I am so grateful we were able to find and book Ionas Hotel! The whole experience was just absolutely perfect, mainly thanks to the lovely staff who ensured we were well fed, slept on the comfiest beds and always recommended amazing things to do around. The hotel and the rooms are very charming, freshly renovated and at the heart of Chania - we were able to go just anywhere! I already miss this vacation and I'm hoping we can come back yet again to experience that wonderful breakfast in the garden.

Nothing! Our stay was absolutely perfect - thank you so much to the lovely staff for making that happen!

This is really a very beautiful Boutique Hotel that is spotlessly clean. It is family run and they pay attention to detail. The breakfast is awesome and I would recommend adding that feature to your stay. I loved this place

It really isn't something I disliked but I would like to recommend adding a full-length mirror and an Iron to the room
