Amazing location, in the heart of the old town, but also closer to the beach as well (beach was a good 15min walk) staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were lovely, old fashioned, but suited the town. If you're going to be out and about everyday and need basic accommodation in a good area this hotel is for you!

Very glad I found this place for 50 Euros/night. Skip the poor breakfast in a gloomy room - lots of places just down the street.
Half an hour phone to USA was 125 Euros -- glad someone else was paying.

We stayed at El Greco for a few days in July. The hotel is located in a quiet street in the old town, yet just a block away from the water front at the Venetian harbour, so the location was very good. But the room was very small and the bathroom too. There seemed to be a leak from a pipe in the bathroom because the floor was often wet, not only due to the lack of shower curtain.
We also had an unpleasant experience, which indicates a security problem at the hotel. Early one morning when we were getting ready to take an early bus to Samaria, we heard somebody fumbling with the lock at our door. Suddenly the person outside managed to open the door with her key (she was apparently drunk and had been out partying all night and went to the wrong room). In the evening when we came back from Samaria, we reported the incident to the receptionist, who immediately called someone (hotel management, hopefully) and then offered us to move to another room for the next night. She also said that they would check all room keys. So she handled the incident well considering the circumstances.
Breakfast at the hotel was just about ok, but the juice made of concentrate was not tasty at all, and overall the breakfast was not as good as other hotels we stayed at. There was supposed to be wifi connection in the room, but it did not work.

Amazing hotel. Very cheap and clean. Bathrooms were a little small but other wise very good. We stayed on the 4th floor and had our own terrace with an amazing view of Chania. The lady at the front desk who works afternoons is a wealth of knowledge and very nice to talk to. Room was 55 euro per night but view alone was worth at least twice as much. Clean, quiet and close to all the action in Chania. Super hotel.
