Odyssey House

Very friendly and kind people

N/A

Great location, characterful part of town, quiet, charming large house.

It was all good.

This is a wonderful house in the centre of the old town. It is a cool sanctuary after a hot day out. The rooms are lovely and it is close to a lot of great bars and restaurants.

Sincere hospitality with little touches making us feel very welcome! Location is fantastic and the house is a beautiful and cosy maze of stairs with 6 different levels within 3 floors - very spacious! Thank you!!!

Location and the hosts

Could be a little noisy at night. Not for someone who can’t manage stairs.

This was a great location and nothing was too much trouble in regards to service provided. The home was very comfortable, clean , well maintained and located within the old town of Chania. Xenia and Costas were exceptional hosts, providing excellent local knowledge and information about the general location and more specific excursion options.

Nothing

Great location, it is a walking distance from the waterline and chain of sumptuous restaurants. Stores are close by. The hosts are great, they personally handed us the keys and check on us from time to time if we need anything. Bonus point is that they live right next to the property so they are always available to attend your needs if there is any.

We liked everything. Costas is a history book, we learned a lot about Crete history and local information from him and Xenia, his wife. At the end we got a little traditional present for Easter, as we visited at Easter time. Very nice historical house, in the middle of old town. We totally recommend it and would come back anytime. Thank you, wonderful people!

Odyssey house is an old Ottoman era house thus many stairs but also very spacious with three levels. Xenia and Costas provided everything we needed. Upon request , Xenia told us how to heat up the shower ,also gave us all the tips of the area and restaurants and invited us to their house which is next door , and gave us some their homemade kumquat with liquer to top on Greek yoghurt . Costas also told us some history of the house and Crete , and a list of Greek alphabet and daily phase. And Xenia kindly accommated our very late check in and met us in person . Xenia is very quick to respond regarding our late check in and other questions on email and Whatsapp, also booked taxi for us both from and to the airport.

Because it is an old house with Ottoman era base, it has many stairs. If you have small child/children or elderly, it might not be suitable. Also there is only one bathroom at Level 2, so if you stay at 3rd level you will need to go down stairs to use the bathroom. The shower space is a bit small . I am okay with the stairs but my friend is not a fan.
