Ionas Boutique Hotel, Crete

Everything! It’s tasteful and understated, but has everything from a lovely terrace to sit and chill to lovely setting for breakfast outside under lovely umbrellas.

Nothing, for me it was really super.

Beautiful room. Great breakfast and very friendly and helpful owners.

Very little. Only concern was the shower in the bathroom was a bit tricky to operate and the water was very hot when first put on. Maybe an issue if young children turned it on.

The peaceful setting was wonderful and the decor although modern was so tasteful. The care and attention from all the staff was fantastic. The terrace was a haven of peace.

Nothing

Clean, great location, excellent breakfast, and superb staff.

No quibbles - everything was great.

The perfect boutique hotel. Lovely breakfast, wonderful staff, superb location, clean and unique rooms.

Nothing springs to mind

Loved the charming and quiet location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast

there is nothing I did not like.

Amazing staff and I loved the breakfast too.

The charm of the hotel & the staff were amazing

They are extremely nice. Helped us with anything we need! The place is also super beautiful and comfy. Super recommend!

I did not try the breakfast however, I was very satisfied with the café options.

Wish there a Spa at this location

NO BREAKFAST AS OFF SEASON, BUT NO PROBLEM, LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT, ROOM CLEANED EVERY DAY AND FRESH TOWELS IF NEEDED, AND STAFF VERY PLEASANT AND EASY TO TALK WITH.

A BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING WOULD HAVE BEED GOOD, BUT OUR STAY WAS OFF SEASON.

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.

Excellent location in Old Town, easily walkable to all places and also meet up locations for tours. Quiet at night, excellent rooms and beds were comfortable. Staff was very helpful. Staff helped us find parking

Would recommend

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!

So glad we’ve chosen this wonderful boutique hotel. It’s owners are knowledgeable and helpful, the staff especially Eva and her sister were lovely, food was best breakfast ever🤩 our superior junior suite was best hotel room we’ve ever stayed in, lovely bedding , a/c, kitchen, jacuzzi bath and so much space we loved it . Hoping to return next summer.

Nothing

Breakfast was absolutely superb.

This was a magical place to stay, I can’t recommend it enough.

The host was so lovely and the location is perfect for exploring old town. The breakfast was enjoyable and varied.

The alleyways in the area are all thoroughfares, therefore they get a bit noisy at night.

Beautiful hotel in marvellous location. Very helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast. We recommend it.

Since it's in the Old Town, the room and bathroom were not enormous, but there is a beautiful terrace available right outside your door.

It was all great from start to finish! Great location, spotless clean, staff is welcoming and very very helpful, oh and very nice breakfast. Will love to come back

At night there is a bit noise from the street. But hey it’s Chania and the noise is another reason to be here !!!!

Hygiene good. Breakfast good. Quality establishment. Super architectural restoration

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.

Great

Very nice staff, hotel is very central yet quiet.

The location is in the middle of the old town, which is great for people who like walking around and shopping in the old town. The staff was great, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast was abundant and delicious.

Everything was great! Amazing staff, beautiful little hotel, spectacular breakfast, great atmosphere, comfortable bed, clean room, great people, perfect location! We loved it! 😀

The staff at this small, family run hotel were beyond helpful. They let me into the room in the middle of the night when I had left the key inside. Breakfast was delicious. Location is super central. Chania is ridiculously charming. I will be back!

Nothing to complain about. I had a perfect stay.

**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

The staff were lovely and took extra care to make my stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was perfect with extra home made treats.

Super friendly and helpful owner and employees. Perfect location in city center…free parking spots in 5 min foot distance.

Beautiful room and breakfast area in a walled garden . Lovely breakfast with various plates brought to the table including fruits, cake, breads and eggs cooked to order. Lovely family run and all the staff friendly.

Nothing

Lovely little spot right in the centre of Chania with the most beautiful little courtyard for breakfast!

N/A

Everything was great. Location. Service. People. Rooms. Sofia and George were great hosts. They helped us with car rental, made excellent recommendations for dinner plans.

Wonderful location central to many restaurants and sites but on a quiet street, beautiful garden and rooftop patio.

Staff are so helpful and nothing is a problem. Room was excellent and clean. Breakfast was amazing as was the location. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Well situated for access to the old town harbour. Delightful small hotel with excellent breakfast outside on the enclosed patio. Small terrace on second floor for relaxation after busy days. Warm and friendly greeting from reception staff. Family owned and run.

Nothing to dislike.

A charming boutique Hotel in the heart of the old town. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Very good breakfast Everything was perfect... Very good value for money

Beautifully decorated, great location, great service, delicious breakfast, wonderful hosts

We like everything

This was our highlight of our trip to Crete. If anyone looking for accommodation in Chania, BOOK HERE. Your hosts Sofianna and Eva are so nice, rooms are beautiful, breakfast is amazing, location is in such a nice little quiet pocket, with the shortest walk into the port. Everything about Ionas is simply the best ❤️

Everything was great, the owners are excellent people, perfect location as well!!!

Unique, charming,central,

We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helped us book an airport transfer and an onward bus. It’s a lovely building in a quiet street and the breakfast in the garden courtyard was delicious. Ideal location to explore old town Chania. Would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel. A top level restoration of a medieval building that had been a family home for over 100 years. The descendants of this same family personally run this hotel like a B&B. Also, the breakfast is outstanding. Great location and quiet. We loved our 4 days in this hotel.

Perfect location, clean, calm, cozy hotel.

Location Really attentive staff Cleanliness Facilities Comfortable bed Good shower

Nothing

Very lovely family run hotel which appears to have been consistently excellent for decades.

There can occasionally be some noise from the cafe up the road, but there is effective double glazing and it’s somewhat the price you pay for the historic city centre location.

Loved the hotel great position great restaurants just outside. Easy walk to Old Port. Breakfast was fantastic.

Mattress

The hotel was perfect. Beautiful house, right in the middle of old town. Recommend the breakfast each day. Very good value for money and varied and authentic Greek. Staff were amazing. Gave recommendations, helped with transport planning, always happy to chat.

Having to come home.
