My girlfriend and I stayed at Silde in October and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We booked the top room for a couple of nights and ended up adding an extra night in the room on the first floor. The top floor room is quite a hike up the stairs but well worth it for the views from the balcony which looks out over Chania (also a perfect spot for a peaceful, sunny breakfast). It is clean, comfortable and traditional traditional lodging. The room on the first floor was also great - a smaller balcony put you more in the street but this was almost more fun than the top floor.
As other reviewers have noted, Silvia is a lovely host who is excpetionally friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and her cakes are ace.
I could not imagine a better location - you are just a few steps from the harbour and parking is a 5 minute walk away.
Places like Silde deserve all the success they get!
