To DiPorto

Stayed here at DiPorto for 3 nights - great location in the heart of things, a mere 5 minute walk from the bus station and the lighthouse. Very nice accommodation - the fridge and kettle were a nice bonus. The owner and her son were very welcoming and friendly and provided lots of information to get about. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and great to have a small balcony to sit out on through french doors. The only negatives were that the walls were very thin that you could hear conversations in the next room and in the early hours there was a lot of noise from outside in the the street where groups of people made their way back from night clubs. However, this was just a small issue for me as i didn't spend much time in the room. I would recommend a stay here.

We booked for two nights, but changed hotels after one night because of noise from the street. The shops close on the street at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. so that was fine, but the problem was people coming from the old Port (where the bars and restaurants stay open very late) were walking up the street talking very loudly. This happened until the wee hours of the morning. Since I had asked for a quiet room, but this was all they had available, we moved to a new hotel at the very end of the Port, with soundproof rooms and doors, the Porto Veneziano Hotel, which was very nice. The room itself was odd, with furniture a little too big for the space. The toilet made a loud, prolonged noise when you flushed it.

The Venetian port of Chania and the main bus station was on your door step. The rooms were compact but this is characteristic of these Venetian size buildings.
