But not the first night due to our assigned suite being dark, two levels and quirky.

Laying on a sun bed of the terrace; looking around the landscape and the lively motion of the harbor without any intrusive noise; watching the lights and colors changing over the surrounding houses and local people living them , until the dark came,  was such an intimate and touching experience to be difficult expressing.

The furnishings of the room were quite dark

(Triple was a little dark -- only complaint we had.)

To have a shower was a challenge as when the shower curtain was drawn it was dark and difficult to see anything.

However it was very dark, dank and smelt very damp and musty.

The bathrooms were a little worn and the bedding was dark and heavy,

Would definitely come back despite minor complaints [a/c unit a bit weak and bathroom a bit small and dark] as it really is a charming stay whether you wish to be in the action or just step back from it all and relax.

They wanted to be sure we made it back from the Gorge before it got dark.

Our bathroom was on the small side and the shower was quite dark.

The building is nice, the breakfast is nice, the service is nice, we were just a bit disappointed by our room(11) with a view on other windows, the strict minimum in the bathroom, wich was actually very tiny and you have to ahve a shower nearly in the dark because the light is not ok. For the bedroom , the furnitures look a bit old and the matress is not very confortable, too soft, so you'd better have a partner of the same weight than you.

I've read some of the negative comments about the rooms (being dark, bad bathrooms, too small, etc) and I feel I must let people know that the rooms have been recently renovated (in fact we were only the second people to stay in our room) earlier this year and these problems have been fixed.

The hotel is over rated -- no view,  shower is revolting,  dark and tiny,  rooms too light,  curtains not lined to prevent early  morning light.

It is a refurbished mansion (some of the Delfino family is still involved in the hotel operations) and is beautifully designed.

We needed to go up a few flights of stairs, and they were decorated as beautifully as the entire hotel.

Breakfast, served in their elegant courtyard ,was delicious and there is a rooftop terrace with spectacular views.

We could not have been happier with this stylish little boutique hotel.

The massage was excellent along with a relaxing environment.

I ended up in three different rooms for good reasons and they were all a bit quirky.

What struck us the most other than the beautiful architecture of this beautiful hotel which used to be the residence of the Delfino family during the Venetian occupations, is the kindness of all the staff at the hotel.

but it was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and very quiet.

Service is the foundation of the way this beautifully restored  boutique hotel in the alleys  of old historic Chania is operated.

but the true charm of Casa Delfino is its wonderful employees!

For people who  like tranquility and style.

The entire building is elegant, perfectly appointed and luxurious.

Christina (a descendant of the original owners) shared photos of the restoration of the mansion.

Traditional decor and ornate furnishings, and yet with all the modern facilities.

Our room was beautiful, impeccably decorated, and luxurious.

The courtyard itself is a relaxing place to sit with a great ambiance.

It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

The hotel itself, a former villa (the owner is fourth generation of the original family) is quietly elegant, with a mosaic courtyard (created by hand by the owner) for breakfast, sweeping marble staircases, generous rooms, and a rooftop bar with a breathtaking view.

So close to the harbor, shops, and restaurants.

Breakfast is full of fresh food and different choices.There is a roof top bar at the top which overlooks the Venetian harbor - a great place to have a drink in the evening.

The location of this charming boutique hotel in Chania is excellent - walking distance to every in the old town and along the harbor.

Wonderful hotel with great service

Location: 1 min to the beautiful Chania harbor.

The roof top terrace with a beautiful view of the Chania harbor made for a wonderful spot for an evening cocktail.

The location is perfect, right near the harbor and surrounded by all the shops, cafes and restaurants you could need.

We truly appreciated the great care you gave us, The room was great and your location is perfect to be at the harbor in minutes!

Despite the throngs of people around the harbor, the hotel was quiet.

Perfect location, right by the Venetian harbor.

It is near the harbor, restaurants, and shops,

The rooms were amazing as well as the rooftop views of the main harbor.

Their rooftop bar offered exquisite views of Chania and it's magnificent harbor.

It was in the old city among the warren of shops that seems to be common in Greek towns, just a five minute walk from the absolutely over-the-top stunning Chania harbor.

There are an exceptional bunch of restaurants right near the hotel, and the location is ideal for those who want to explore the Venetian harbor.

The roof top bar area was the Perfect spot for watching the harbor at night.

We had a large, comfortable room in this hotel which is conveniently located near the Venetian Harbor.

It is aighl beautiful building in a great location for strolling all over the Old Town, and the Venetian Harbor.

This is an excellent location, close to the harbor and tons of restaurants and shopping, hard to find if you drive here

Less than one minute to the old town a Chania Harbor.

Fantastic boutique hotel in Old Venetian Harbor in Chania - best location by far
 Service was impeccable, the room was luxurious and the daily breakfast was outstanding.

This is a first rate small family owned hotel just the steps from the old venetian Harbor Inn Chania.

We stayed in the Presidential Suite, whose terrace has sweeping views of the old Venetian harbor.

This is a very well styled hotel in the old venetian harbor of Chania.

We had the penthouse room, nicely decorated, with a fantastic private rooftop patio overlooking the beautiful old venetian harbor.

The location couldn't be better, based in the winding alleyways of Chania, near the Venetian port.

In addition, they have a roof top bar that overlooks the port which is great for pre dinner drinks.

Just steps away from the port where all the nighttime action is.

Great location to the port and they will give you a map with recommended restaurants.

This arrangement actually was perfect because we were able to checkout the junior suite, presidential suite (with private rooftop patio view of Old Venetian Port), and the two bedroom suite during our stay.

Luxurious, yet easy going, situated in an old Venetian palazzo nearby and with a great view to the ancient port of Chania.

The suite came with a second floor sitting area with access to your own private terrace that overlooked the Old Town port of Chania.

We liked very much the comfort of our suite with private veranda overlooking the old venetian port and the excellent breakfast served in the VERY lovely and tastefully decorated patio… All in all, this hotel is worth a warm recommendation to all fellow travellers !

The hotel is  ideally located in the old Chania, it is a beautiful hotel, our room had an amazing roof top terrasse with an incredible view to the port, the staff from the hotel is very kind and helpful, we are so happy about our stay !.

The hotel is in a lovely old mansion right in the middle of the old town and near the old port

Most impressive view from the top verandah of the port!

but this is a great base as there is plenty to see and do at night, just walking around the port is lovely 
We would highly recommend this place to friends and anyone else.

You can see the port from the roof top bar.

The roof terrace is class, with unbeatable views of Chania Port.

Wonderful small hotel in the center of the port of Chania.

Casa Delfino is right in the heart of the old town just set back from the port.

The rooftop bar was fabulous at night as it looked out over all of Chania old town port with Barman kostos very accommodating.

Stella from the reservations department was amazing, took care of everything from arranging a car for us to rent delivered straight to the port and helping us navigate and troubleshoot getting around.

The hotel has some amazing spots, like the finely curated courtyard and the terrace on the old port.

There is a rooftop bar that has a beautiful view.

You HAVE to visit the rooftop bar – the view is incredible and the barman was lovely and chatty.

Don't miss the rooftop bar at in the evening. Lovely!

Everything about this place is perfect 
Great position in the heart of old town
our room was  spacious  , rooms cleaned daily excellent breakfast amazing rooftop bar

The rooftop bar is worth a visit so don't miss out on that.

Special shout out to Chrissy and Maria at the front desk, Kostas at the rooftop bar, all of the breakfast staff and Maria in the spa for an awesome massage.

There is a rooftop bar with amazing views.

We were pleasantly surprised at the roof top bar with great views at night and a cordial bartender.

The roof top bar had amazing views and we enjoyed the sunsets overlooking the harbour.

There is an elevator to access the roof top bar with great views of the old town and harbor.

One part that is very underrated is the rooftop bar, definitely check this out.

Staff very helpful and nice and the breakfast delicious 
We loved their rooftop bar as well.

The rooftop bar is great during sunset for a cocktail before you stroll down to dinner.

We enjoyed using the roof top bar at the end of the day to unwind and watch the harbour.

There is a rooftop bar and sitting area which overlooks the entire harbor, which was our favorite spot at night.

Warming: you should be fit enough to climb one flight of stairs, particularly after s good breakfast!

Note that there are no elevators in the hotel, so you will need to climb the stairs to your room (3rd floor max). .

but it was an amazing place with amazing service, (they even made us a breakfast box to go at 4am to catch a flight) and i took full advantage of the free wine on the roof garden overlooking Chania for the one night. Highly recommend (only dont drink too much as you have to walk down many stairs to go to the bathroom in the night)

however not a good idea for families with small mobile children or for older adults due to the amount of stairs in the room.

So when you've walked all day, you really don't feel like trudging three flights of stairs just to get to your room, your deluxe suite.

(We were surprised to discover that it was up 3 flights of stairs with no elevator.

Travellers may like to be aware that the hotel has a large number of stairs and steps, in some cases not very obvious; there is a lift only in one part of the hotel.

Room was rather small and on 2 levels with a tiny balcony that was almost too small to sit on; marble floors and stairs were lovely

Because the floor space was small, the designer used the height of the room (the hotel is located in an old palace) and put the bed on a landing at the top of a flight of stairs.

If you have difficulty with stairs, mention this when booking as our room had 3 flights to access it.

One caution: only one side of the hotel has a lift so, if you are averse to taking the stairs, ask for that side.

but it was impossible to keep the window open because it goes directly to the stairs, people were walking up and down, therefore it was noisy.

but in case you have difficulties with stairs you might opt for a room accessible by the elevators on the other side of the hotel.

Although we are young and healthy, we didn't want to take those stairs again if we didn't have to!

The breakfastroom/ restaurant is also completely renovated to a very high standard and very tastefully done.

Rooms are quiet, clean, well appointed and tastefully decorated.

Their buffet is sophisticated, elegant and tasteful.

There is a well stocked garden to the rear which provides a quiet space for those who wish to relax in a cool environment.

Perfect location, nice evening atmosphere, excellent Cretan breakfast.

Our daughter had an “economy” room - it was perfect and the only difference was a Japanese style bed

Morning, afternoon or night, the atmosphere along the adjacent harbor walk, seawall and lighthouse is magical.

We stayed at the hotel and whilst we also dined elsewhere, we were so spoiled under the care of George with the atmosphere of the hotel and the most incredible view.

The hotel is kept spotlessly clean, and the breakfast has a multitude of choices to start your day, all delicious, so thanks to all the support staff working behind the scenes too.

The hotel itself is modern, minimalist and well maintained.

but so charming and well decorated, with the balcony and a lovely view !

We were told that almost every year (or second year), everything gets freshly painted, fixed and deep cleaned.

All fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard too.

Loved this intimate boutique hotel close to all attractions, right on the water and with a great view.

All the staff were helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, especially the generous breakfasts, the room was comfortable and spacious and quiet and the hotel ambience was relaxing.

The breakfast is mind blowing guys and the people serving food in the restaurant are so friendly that u can ask them anything without thinking much , and I cannot that the lady in the reception was amazing she helped us to get to the town can’t thank her and the people in the restaurant for making us feel at home

Staff were very friendly and helpful and we will return.

The employees  are professional and very friendly and warm .

Everything was clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was great.

First-time vistors have commented to me how friendly the staff are (and that was certainly NOT the case at every place we stayed at in Crete recently).

friendly, efficient Katerina on the reception, in fact all staff are charming and welcoming.

Oh, and a very friendly and helpful staff.

A lovely hotel with the most friendly and helpful staff.

An excellent hotel with great views of the harbor and a friendly staff.

The location is excellent, the rooms are nice, clean and modern, the staff is super friendly and accommodating.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the bar serves a great cafe frappe-- as well as the usual beer and popular Aperol Spritz.

but we also  received a wonderful upgrade to a beautiful seaview suite from the friendly receptionist Katarina and finally the breakfast, was just awesome.

Hotel was brilliant  all the staff helpful  friendly both at reception and in the restaurant and bar.

The hotel is very disabled friendly, my husband is a wheelchair user & the disabled room overlooking the garden was well equipped.

Staff: the personnel in this hotel are exceptional, friendly, professional and clearly take pride in being part of this hotel.

The waiters were all very kind and friendly.

Fantastic accommodation with friendly staff and absolutely first class service.

But there are plenty of places to eat close by and it's a bit quieter at the eastern end of the harbor.

I like that is is only four floors and situated at the elbow of Chania harbor.

The breakfasts are amazing and you can't beat having coffee outside on the front patio while you gaze at the harbor and watch the people parade by.

Lovely hotel right by the sea wall in the harbor of Chania.

The hotel is located in a more quiet part of the harbor which is very nice.

You walk out the front door and you are in the midst of all of the harbor activities.

The hotel is at the quieter eastern end of the harbor which is nice

Sitting on the terrace, looking at the harbor lighthouse really couldn't be any better.

Fantastic location right on the marina , staff were great and the breakfast was superb, definitely recommend a visit, rooms were neat clean and tidy, in hindsight would have grabbed a front room instead of a side room as they seem a bit bigger

Located in front of the harbor, we had an amazing view, with a huge wrap around porch.

Best aspect of this hotel is the location right on the harbor--perfect location to explore Chania and find great restaurants.

Breakfast was served right alongside the harbor.

From the location at the far end of the harbor to our very comfortable room with its double balcony, we loved everything about this hotel.

We had a spacious suite with a wrap around balcony and a beautiful view of the Venetian  harbor, street scene, and lighthouse.

Hotel Porto Veneziano's best asset is its premium location directly on the harbor front facing west.

Fantastic location at the old harbor, quiet

Rooms were neat and clean and it is located right on the Old Venetian harbor.

Located right in front of the old Venetian Harbor, you’re right in the middle of action and yet it’s so quiet and peaceful.

The location of the hotel is fantastic because it is right on the beautiful old Venetian harbor, with all restaurants and eateries within a few minutes walking distance.

Clean, charming, on the old Venetian Harbor of Chania, this is the best place to stay in Chania.

My wife and I stayed at P V, at the old Venetian harbor, Chania, Crete, Greece last month.

quiet enough and yet close to everything you want to see and do in the old Venetian harbor.

This family-owned renovated hotel is the best place to stay at this refined town as it is located at a quiet part of the venetian port - where all happens, and has good and flexibly managed parking facilities any time you need them.

Exceptional hotel, excellent breakfast a La carte options, just two minutes away from Old Port!

Porto V is a smart, comfortable little hotel right on the old port.

We were able to walk to all attractions and loved sitting having breakfast looking out into the old Venetian port.

Top position in the beautiful ancient port of Chania.

The best place in the port area, amazing view, great service, outstanding staff, free parking, perfect!

Amazing hotel in the most beautiful place of the city of Chania, in the historic Venetian port.

The Porto Veneziano Hotel is located in the heart of the the old Venetian Port of Chania which is a marvelous location.

but whenever we retreated to our room for a break, we were spoiled by the beautiful views of the old port right outside of our balcony. Our suite with port view (room 310?)

The bar - restaurant of the hotel are very good with spectacular views to the port  and its old buildings.The breakfast is an experience ,except the fact that is freshly cooked and well presented ,it introduces you to the Cretan delights and local products .Try their Cretan  breakfast and the small Cretan pies !

The hotel is wonderfully situated overlooking the old port which is picture perfect at sunset.

This hotel is about a 20 minute drive from the airport and is situated in a peaceful section of the harbour overlooking the old Venetian port.

The hotel is on front of the Venetian port.

An easy walk to the light house or around the scenic old port.

Great advantage the private parking and the unique view of the port.

To start with, we had a free parking for the whole period of time we've stayed there-3 nights.The location of the hotel is superb- bang on the port right next to everything which is worth exploring in Chania, and the view from the room balcony is unforgettable,really breathtaking.

with view  of Chania port anf the lighthouse.

We stayed  in this wonderful hotel for 16 nights, our room at the hotel was lovely and spotlessly clean and the view of the port from the balcony was stunning.

Right on the waterfront with a great view of the port - falling asleep with the boats lapping against the pier was amazing!

Some reviews mention about the bathrooms being small -

Note that the room and bathroom are quite small..

The suite was not as big as it should, the beds were mediocre and the bathroom was too small and weirdly shaped.

The hotel is a good 3* standard - yes, the rooms are pretty basic and a bit small and yes, the bathrooms are VERY small - you do almost have to stand in the shower tray to close / open the door -

The bathroom was small, clean, with a shower only.

The rooms are very small, the bed not very comfy, and the bathroom is tiny - even by NYC standards.

• bathroom is small (the shower is so tiny)
• bed is a little stiff

Despite the list of least likes, we will continue to book our stay at PV.

The rooms themselves are a bit cramped, and we found the bathroom really tiny,

The bathroom was so small, I could not close the door of the room from the inside unless I stood in the shower.

The room was small compared to what we are used to in the United States,

If I were to take off half a star it would be because the room was tiny.

Cons
Very basic
Room too small especially after staying at Lato - yes we knew the size of the rooms beforehand!
