It had everything we needed. It was well furnished, spotlessly clean, well provisioned to prepare light meals and drinks, daily cleaning and wonderful help and advice from Maria, who definitely went above and beyond. The balcony overlooked a narrow bustling thoroughfare close to the harbour and a pleasant walk into the old town. Lots of nearby bars, restaurants, shops and takeaways. There was never a dull moment as we sat outside people watching with our drinks under the canopy. The room is well soundproofed and air conned when the windows are closed so the sound of street life be easily blocked out. We loved the location. Great value, great service, great holiday

It didn’t bother us but the busyness outside would not be everyone’s cup of tea. Stream of cars passing by on their way into town every evening. The Karaoke bar opposite did open til late at the weekend but the music was no too loud and behaviour outside was respectful not rowdy. The studio is quite small

The location was fantastic, with a spacious room and well-furnished kitchen and bathrooms. The surrounding area offered plenty of activities, and the bottle of wine upon arrival was a nice touch. Maria, our host, was superb. She was attentive, friendly, and kind, going above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Her flexibility with my late arrival was greatly appreciated, and she provided excellent recommendations for restaurants that catered to our dietary requirements. The cleaning service was good. The friendly staff left the place spotless every time. Compared to other places we’ve stayed in Europe, we thought this property was exceptional value for money.

We had a fantastic stay at Porto Orion! The location was perfect, just a short walk to amazing restaurants and cafés, which made exploring the area so easy. Our room was spotless and felt very comfortable. While it was on the smaller side, the high ceilings and private balcony gave it a spacious feel, and my husband and I never felt cramped. A special mention to our wonderful host, Maria, who was absolutely phenomenal. She was welcoming and always ready to help with anything we needed. We’d definitely stay here again!

Loved everything about our studio apartment in Chania. Perfect location, very clean, bed was comfortable, everything appeared to be brand new. Our host, Marie was extremely helpful and provided us with an app which gave restaurant suggestions, activities, etc. she also was available for personal suggestions. Very close by was a cafe for morning coffee and breakfast plus good food too. A free parking lot was within walking distance for our car. Also close to a small grocery store. Marie went above and beyond, leaving us wine, brought us pastries, water, and the most delicious Raki we had during our 3 week stay in Crete. We definitely would book here again. Marie was an exceptional host, and personal concierge too. An A+ unit!

We had a great stay at Porto Orion Studios. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Chania’s Old Town, with restaurants, shops and the harbor just around the corner. Maria gave us a warm welcome and shared some really helpful tips about the area, which we appreciated. The studio was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would happily return and can recommend it to anyone visiting Chania.

I really liked the attitude of Maria from start to finish. She has been in touch with us throghout the whole booking and has been very kind and reliable as a host. The apartment we stayed in was exceptionally clean. The room was comfortable and supplied with everything you would need. It even had a makeup towel + vanity mirror with perfect lightning for makeup and skincare which left a very positive impression on my girlfriend. Maria also used the opportunity to meet us in person on the day off of the cleaning lady when she personally attended our room and we had a warm conversation. She also left us local baked cookies a day before our check out with a sweet note to let us know she was glad to have us as guests. Also our room was cleaned daily and clean towels and sheets were provided regularly. I am very satisfied with our stay and would gladly choose Maria as a host in the future!

There was only one instance during our stay when the room ammenities were not restocked, but Maria was very quick to react to sort it out.

The apartment is in a great location, just in the old town. Close to lovely places to walk through, restaurants and beaches - not a sandy beach but nice place to swim. Great place for few nights. The host is very welcoming and helpful, shared with us some great recommendations. Chania is a beautiful town, I hope we will be back. Free parking in a walking distance. Great coffee, orange juice and sandwiches in the eating place just downstairs.

The balcony is not really usable (noise from the AC, but we didn’t need it as we spent most of the time in the town).

Modern design, fully equipped, even with umbrella. Very comfortable beds, with terrace and daily cleaning of the room (including gel and shampoo). Perfect location, 5 minutes walk from the old town of Chania and right next to the harbour. The owner, Maria, is a lovely person. She recommended places to eat and visit. We asked her several questions by whatsapp and she answered us immediately. Value for money 10!

Our host could not have been kinder or more attentive! It is clear that she truly loves her job and Chania. She gave us many reccomendations for places to eat, to visit and also helped us find our way around. 10/10.

In the pre-arrival directions, t would be great to have a place reccomended nearby for parking, as Chania is really only accessible by car. However, our host was very helpful once we arrived and shared multiple suggestions of where to park next time

Photos do not do this property justice! Everything from start to finish was amazing, and our host was so kind and helpful. Everyday the cleaner came and the host was so kind to bring us some traditional pastries one afternoon. Any questions were answered promptly and we were made to feel super comfortable. The location is spot on, even being within close proximity to all the bars and restaurants there was no noise from the streets in the evenings.

Nothing.
