If you are looking for a warm welcome in the heart of Chania old town look no further - stairs are involved.  Room equipped with a fridge - private bathroom
Nice patio.  Coffee and cookies provided.  Not a hotel - keep this in mind.  Honey home away from home.  Great for budget travellers.  You will meet the hostess and her husband, really nice people.  We stayed here five nights and were comfortable.  If you arrive late there is key code access.  Can contact through What's App also.  

Cozy guesthouse in Chania old town

This family hotel is located in the heart of the most popular area of chania town. The price is cheaper and the service is nice. highly recommended.

excellent

We booked with Earini so that we could be close to the old town. The town is very active at night but with the AC on and the doors closed it never stopped us sleeping happily. Our room was very spacious for our family and the kitchen amenities were well stocked. But the thing that makes it so special is the owners who can't help enough and seem to be really kind soulful people. Locals who really care about their city and their guests.

Wonderful local owners 

We had a lovely couple of days at this centrally-located, apartment in this old Venetian building. 
Having read through some of the other reviews, I think this property may not suit all types of people (this is not a 5-star modern hotel), so I would recommend you consider what kind of traveller you are, however we loved it. The hosts Earini and Gabriel were so welcoming, informative and sweet. We found the apartment spacious and clean, and easy to overlook the slightly dated electrics and decor. 
We were there over Easter Weekend, and understandably the neighbouring church (the main location in Chania) were ringing their bells at times that were not sociable for us non-Christians, but that is not the fault of Earini, and nothing a set of earplugs wouldn't rectify. 
Despite being only 1 couple, we opted to pay the small amount extra so that we had 2 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom to ourselves. This also meant we had a little balcony overlooking the square (for people watching), and easy access to the communal terrace (with the hammock). 
The location is excellent, with access to the Jewish area, the old town, and the harbour all within walking distance. We were exhausted the first night and looking for advice, and Gabriel recommend a lovely nearby restaurant, and the next morning Earini recommended a cool spot for brunch. 
It took us a second loop to find the recommended parking, but that was probably more to do with us being unfamiliar with a city and tired! Yes the free car park is a 5-10 min walk, but I doubt any of the central hotels have their own parking. 
I would love to return next time we visit Chania :)

Location, hosts, spacious rooms

Based on all the glowing reviews on here I booked myself in for a fortnight.   I didn't expect much, as it was so cheap,  I just thought it would be plain and simple.  Yes, the family were delightful and yes, it was in a very central location.  My bed was comfortable and my room was clean(ish).  But oh, my goodness!  The noise from the street was non-stop screaming and screeching all night long, so that I literally did not sleep.  I would have got up and made myself a cup of tea, except that there was no kettle in the room, and to make a cup of tea meant creeping about the house in the middle of the night in my pj's to find the hideous outdoor communal kitchen.  The 'kitchen' is located in what  looks like a charming little courtyard in the photos but is actually a mess of dead plants,  mismatched broken chairs, ancient empty jam jars.  There's a cracked and broken sink with cold water to wash up your cup.  There's a sort of sitting room that looks like something in a student squat with a fish tank filled with bright green water and a goldfish breathing its last.  I still have nightmares about that poor fish.  Everything is dusty and crusty.  I was nearly in tears when I saw what I had let myself in for, and it says something that when I had a phone call from home about a family emergency it came as a welcome relief to pack up and leave.    

I really hesitated about writing this review.  The family is so lovely and I feel kind of ungrateful, and I don't want to do them down, but I also feel I should tell the truth about what you are going to get for your money here!  I absolutely cannot understand the other reviews on here.   Are they real? Or did I just get the 100% worst room in the place?  I suspect that the owners have got so used to what they are looking at that they can't see it any more.  I hope that this review will spur them onto giving their place a bit of a makeover!

Sweet and friendly people but the accommodation is awful

As a family with a toddler we had a great stay at Earini. The location is great in the old town close to everything. We could even see the sea from our balcony. The hosts are so lovely and gave us the best recommendations for food and places to go. We highly recommend this place.

Wonderful place

Brilliant location. Wonderful hosts. Fantastic rooms. Loved every moment t of this stay. Great place to people watch from the balcony. Room was clean,  comfortable, and had a unique boutique style. Even found nearby free parking.

Fabulous location,  rooms,  and hosts

We loved our quirky, characterful 2 bed apartment in this old Ventian building. Earini and Gabriel are a really sweet couple, chatty and helpful and passionate about Chania and Crete. We immediately felt at home and enjoyed sitting out in the vine-covered roof garden. You are right in the centre of the town, stepping from the building into the throng of the street, only metres from the stunning harbour. The beds were very comfortable and we were very grateful for the air conditioning. We were rather sad to leave and move on to our next destination but I am sure we will return.

Charming apartment with lovely hosts

This is a really beautiful set of clean rooms right in the centre of busy, beautiful Chania. We overlooked a very busy street a few steps from the harbour and it was fun, sitting on the balcony watching the people go by. It was much quieter at night, and there is a beautiful quiet terrace to sit out on at the back (where tea, coffee and biscuits are laid on) and the room was much quieter with the doors closed, so we weren't troubled by noise.  
I liked the colours of the room and the wooden furniture - the bed was comfortable and the shower hot; a lot of imaginative touches made this place a home from home. I wish we could have stayed longer. Best of all were the kind and thoughtful hosts. Their recommendations were great and we had a lovely few days in this fascinating city. 
It is very easy to get to from the KTEL bus stop and easy to find, opposite the archaeological museum. Thank you!

Central, beautiful, heartwarming rooms

I've read some other reviews so here's my view:

There is no car park that we found closer than a 10 minute walk. Avoid the supermarket which will cost €20 for overnight. Go down the side roads for plenty of free parking - but be careful, small cars will squeeze into any gap!

The Earini is easy to find - it's right opposite the Archaeological Museum....which is open late but it's quiet with no flashing lights or music.

Yes there's no lift - it's a traditional town house. So you will need sensible luggage. There is a clear sign - if reception is empty the lovely lady in the shop below can help. Do you really need a formal welcome? We didn't and it was absolutely fine. 

Having said that, our hostess was around each morning - usually after 9ish - and our host in the late afternoon. As others have said, they are such lovely people and very welcoming. If you don't have plans then ask! They could help you make the most of your visit.

Room 1 does suffer from noise, so bring earplugs and you'll be fine. If you forget, there is a small pharmacy next door. You will hear the church bells early at the weekend and any heavy footsteps coming up the marble stairs - so maybe ask for room 2 or one above or at the back. But, at the back you'd miss the fabulous balconies that the front of house has.

Would we visit again? Absolutely. Any room in this wonderful location will hear the bells and the chatter but value for money and authentic Greek accommodation would tempt me back.
