Scala de Faro is a small, historic boutique hotel in Chania, Crete.  Because it is fairly small and is in a very old building, you will have to walk a flight of stairs to get to the rooms and the small elevator (although there is accommodation for the handicapped).  Be aware that it is located in the middle of the main walkway along the port (although the entrance is on the street behind the port) and can be a little difficult to find.  However, once you locate it and go upstairs, the rooms are completely modern and beautiful.  The delightful breakfasts are served on the second floor and the staff are all helpful and charming.  There is a door and stairs that go down to the port side.  Old Town Chania does not permit cars for most of the day.  You may have to walk with your bags to get to the hotel.  Despite these various inconveniences, Scala de Faro is one of the nicest boutique hotels I've ever stayed in.  The location is fabulous, as you can walk to most of the places you will want to visit in Chania.  The views could not be better.  I highly recommend it.

This hotel was fabulous! It was one of our best stays during our 2 weeks in Greece. The hotel room we stayed in was HUGE and overlooked the sea/lighthouse, it's in a great location on the harbor and is walking distance from everything! Anita, George and Cristina were SO accommodating, friendly, helpful and just superb hosts. It may prove difficult to get to because of it's location on a narrow, cobblestone street, but it is well worth the walk! Elevator starts on the first floor as some mentioned, but it had no bearing on us, we just dragged our luggage up one short flight of stairs - it wasn't an issue at all. I would highly recommend this hotel - it was truly a highlight of our trip!

The Scala de Faro is located next to the water with bustling activity beneath the rooms. With that being said, there is no way to be dropped off at the door.  We had to drag our bags a quarter of a mile through the pedestrian streets to get to the hotel.    There was an elevator however it started on the first floor and check in was on the ground floor. We had to carry our bags up the narrow steps to get to the elevator on the first floor in order to reach our floor.  The elevator was too small for luggage and people.   In the room there were no washcloths. When we asked at check-in they didn’t know what a washcloth was. There was very  little light in the bathroom and no food or drink available in the hotel except for a small breakfast.  There were steps out the back of the hotel that allowed us to go to restaurants on the waterfront.

In 30 years of traveling, this was the most accommodating hotel I have ever stayed at. 10/10 all around. There were two women in particular, I wished I had their names, but they attended to every detail of my stay. If they are reading this, thanks again from Ohio!

Wow.  We have a room with a balcony over looking the harbor and directly across from the lighthouse. What more could one ask?  Enjoying the wonderful area from the privacy of your room is truly a great experience.   Rooms are comfortable and beautiful.  Breakfast is included which is always a bonus when traveling.  You do have to walk to the hotel but our driver brought our bags for us.  The hotel will bring the bags to your room, no elevator from 1st to 2nd floor but they have a chair lift for those that can not climb.    Great shopping and dining in the area.
