Book this hotel!
What a gem of a hotel. Let me first say that Anita is AMAZING and has elevated our stay beyond words. Scala de Faro is located right on the harbor. We booked a sea view room with a balcony (1A). The room is very modern and very quiet (to the inside at least). It’s a bit noisy at night since we’re right over the main thoroughfare where the shops and restaurants are. Breakfast has plenty of variety and is included. Location is awesome. The service from everyone is spectacular. Beds are comfortable, water pressure is fantastic (shower is GREAT), the lighting in the bathroom isn’t very good, but it is my only complaint. We have loved our stay here.

Avoid the Junior Suite with views of the "scenic back alleys of Chania"
Sadly the Scala de Faro in Chania was far from the 5* luxury we had been led to believe it would be from their website.
The hotel is situated in the old Venetian Port of Chania, right on the waterfront. The location is perfect and the building itself is beautiful. The reception is on the ground floor and bedrooms are on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. The elevator is accessible from the 1st floor so luggage has to be carried up a flight of stairs to reach the elevator. There are no porters at this hotel. Also, the Port is in a pedestrian area so luggage has to be taken by hand to the hotel from the drop off point or car park. My guess would be 300m or so along cobbled streets. There is no buggy service available as far as we are aware.
The hotel describes itself as: consisting of 9 unique rooms and suites, across three floors, on the north and south face, overlooking either the sea or the scenic back alleys of the Old Town and the mountains.
We were staying in the Junior Suite with bath which is described as follows, according to their website:
"The suite overlooks the Old Town of Chania and features a comfortable bedroom and luxury bathroom with vanity mirror, ideal for the ladies. The hydromassage, the bathroom’s special tile work and the ample room will make you relax and feel right away at home. "
I am attaching photos of the “scenic back alleys of the Old Town” which for us featured a derelict building housing discarded timber and pipework, air conditioning units and an extractor fan. See pics.
The room features absolutely no drawer space to store clothes and we were forced to live out of our suitcases for the 4 nights we stayed here. Thankfully we had the 3rd bed to use as a base for our cases otherwise stuff would have been all over the floor area. There is a hanging rail with about 6 or 7 hangers.
The safe is contained in a cupboard on the floor. To use it requires getting down on hands and knees. Thankfully, though advancing in years, we are still able to do this!
There are shutters outside the two windows and net curtains inside. At night, the roller bed had to be moved in order to access one of the windows to close the shutters.
On to the bathroom which contains a bath with shower over. There is no shower screen so after showering the entire room is absolutely soaking wet. First one in had to use the bathmat and towel to dry the floor before the other person could take a shower! Fortunately the receptionist was on hand and happy to supply us with clean towels as required.
A fridge is also in the room with daily complimentary water. There are other drinks available, but no price list. A coffee machine is provided with complimentary tea & coffee.
Breakfast is served between 8.30 and 11.00am. It was ok, though they do serve the most delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. Get there early if you want bread rolls!
We made a complaint via our travel consultant, but unsurprisingly the hotel failed to respond…
