+The neatest thing staying at a converted monastery. We arrived late and Irene welcomed us and even brought homemade fresh baked pastries!!
−You can’t eat or drink in the room, and the booking details are not clear on that (the room has a stove and cooktop!!)

“Lovely historic property in a charming neighborhood just steps from the old port.”
+The property is a beautiful converted 15th century monastery just steps from the old Venetian port. It is very quiet and the suite we booked (the loft suite with two beds) was very comfortable for our family of three. It also had a lovely private terrace and a record player with a few records you could play, which was a nice touch - I got to put on Maria Callas (one of my favorites) in the evening. Yes, there are some rules guests need to follow, but keep in mind that there is a good reason for that - the property is a historic property, which brings with it certain features that need preserving. If you have small children (i.e., under 5) or you are looking for more of a party atmosphere, you may therefore want to think about staying elsewhere.
−Nothing.

“Beautiful sanctuary in a great location for the old town”
+It felt very special to be staying in the converted monastery. The room was set back from the courtyard which was a tranquil haven from the old town outside. The room was very comfortable for our family of four, and the children enjoyed climbing the stairs to the mezzanine bed with a beautiful view of the harbour outside. We were met by Irene on arrival who explained about the history of the building, and gave us the necessary information to put in the breakfast requests for the next morning which was served up on the open air top terrace. The location was great: on the western side of the harbour. This was ideal for exploring the old town on foot and it was also a 10 minute walk along the waterfront in the opposite direction to get to the beach which we did briefly for one afternoon.
−Nothing!

“Exceptional historic Chania harbour hotel”
+San Salvatore Monastery is an exceptional building, steeped in history. The room was a large duplex with 2 double beds and a large sitting area, kitchen and double-shower room. There are views of the famous harbour and lighthouse from the upper bedroom. It is very close to the end of the harbour with loads of tavernas yet there was no noise in the room (apart from the central heating, which was a good thing in the cool weather). The Cretan breakfast is a 'must' if you like genuine Cretan fare - breads, cheeses, yoghurts, pastries - delicious. The sunset view from outside the front door was brilliant.
−Our stay was too short.

“Great stay and will recommend this place.”
+Its spacious, clean and safe. Great location near the restaurants, shops and the port. But tucked in enough so its calm and peaceful. Warm welcome and assistance by Irene.

“Pluses and Minuses”
+It was spacious, quiet, a good location, an interesting property. Irene was lovely.
−The messaging system was less than impressive. It took a long time for Irene to get messages - like 24 hours. I also expected some upscale bathroom products. At least a nice body lotion, some traveler niceties. The record player in the room was not hooked up, so that was disappointing. The only sea view was from the upstairs bedroom. The downstairs bed was very uncomfortable/thin. I'm glad we weren't sharing with another couple. There is a full kitchen but they are clear you cannot eat in the rooms, so that's a little baffling. No microwave or we could have heated food up and eaten on the table on the front porch. It's a no frills place but quite expensive. It was very satisfying in most ways but disappointing in others.

“Great location and friendly hosts. For the price, the room needs updates to stay competitive.”
+Good location.
−Access to the bathroom requires leaving the main living space through a door into a second space that is via a kitchen area. Cold lighting and dated furniture needs updating.
