Scala de Faro

Amazing location, warm staff, fresh and modern rooms and amenities.

Wow. We have a room with a balcony over looking the harbor and directly across from the lighthouse. What more could one ask? Enjoying the wonderful area from the privacy of your room is truly a great experience. Rooms are comfortable and beautiful. Breakfast is included which is always a bonus when traveling. You do have to walk to the hotel but our driver brought our bags for us. The hotel will bring the bags to your room, no elevator from 1st to 2nd floor but they have a chair lift for those that can not climb. Great shopping and dining in the area.

The location and the people in the hotel made for a perfect, relaxed time in the relaxing city of Chania. Our room was lovely, the breakfasts were perfect, and the desk staff (Christina, Anita) were very helpful in all ways, as were the rest of the staff. We would highly recommend this choice for your visit to Crete.

We stayed 5 nights at Scala de Faro last week and loved it. Apart from the fantastic location, right in the middle of the old town, the highlight was the staff of the hotel. The receptionists Christina and Anita were fantastic... always smiling and extremely helpful, and also Anna the breakfast lady and Rena the housekeeping lady were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts were just great, with the most delicious freshly squeezed orange juice I have ever tasted. The rooms were spacious and well appointed ( although the bathroom handbasin was a bit "unusual!!!") . The location is amazing...right in the middle of the old town, with literally dozens of restaurants within a stone's throw. All in all a hotel to be highly recommended. Thank you ladies!!!

The hotel is in a great location with beautiful views. The staff, especially Christina, were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good with lots of options. A few things that should be improved- there is no place to store clothes. The sink in room 8C is cool looking but not practical. Takes up a lot of space and the water is a trickle. The hotel should invest in a golf cart to transport luggage since cars can’t get close. But overall enjoyed our stay!

The friendly and helpful staff are a real asset to the hotel. No matter the issue they do their best to solve it. Add the great location in the heart of the old town, the stunning view on the Venetian harbour, the spacious rooms equipped with high-quality products and you would know why it is a perfect choice.
