Stoa Rooms

We stayed at Stoa Rooms for two nights in late September and were extremely pleased with our visit. The apartment is in a prime location, literally a two-minute walk from the Old Town fountain. It is also close to the bus station, if you use the public transport, 10-15 min. walking. The view of the harbor from the small balcony is wonderful. The room is very clean and cozy, equipped with everything you need for your stay. The bed linen and towels are clean, and an iron is available for use. There is also coffee and tea. We would stay at Stoa Rooms again and highly recommend it.

The only minus is that music from nearby bars and restaurants can be heard in the evening, although the windows provide good sound insulation. However, if you want to stay in the very center of Chania, this is unavoidable. We solved the issue by using earplugs.

The woman that greeted me at the entry was wonderful. !the location was good. The room was spacious. Large bathroom.

The bed was very firm. There was loud dance music that played into the early morning. There was no bed side lights.

The position is literally at 30 secs from the port and the main roads in Chania. Lots of minimarkets close, too. The room was bigger than expected and quite clean, with cleaning being done every day and the bed redone everyday, too which we weren't expecting. Also the accomodation is in a very quite street and cozy space. Giannis was very responsive, too and we got 2 bottle of water welcoming us which is not to be taken for granted. Great air conditioning: although the room felt wamr at first it got fresh very easily thanks to the fan and the air conditioner.

The room in itself could use a bit of renovation as some parts of furniture are visibly consumed and the walls in some parts have some marks done probably by other guests. The bathroom is bigger than expected and we found it pretty clean although this is probably the part that needs a bit more improvement: the shower is a bit too small and with black parts and rusty areas in it. Also a bit of mould can be seen on the ceiling so maybe a better ventklation system could help. The room of the bathroom doesn't fully close as maybe it's a bit too old.

The location is central and close by to shops, restaurants etc. The entrance patio is nice. The maid is nice and hugged me when I cried (and I did. A lot).

The room was dark, no inner shade so you have to be with the heavy ones closed all the time and it was very depressing. The lock of the glass door to the balcony was broken, so you have close the outer shades which means more darkness. My room was on the ground floor (which I knew) but, basically on the street and people walk by all the time, right by you. All the light bulbs were white and the feel was the opposite of cozy.. I bought candles at some point. The owner wasn't there at no point but can be connected through Booking. At some point I gave up trying.
