The Iason is located in a somewhat less busy area of the walled town. The neighborhood is historically rich and close to the harbor. Our suite had a well equipped kitchenette and a quaint balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpfull.

The staff and location were the stars of our stay. Despina and her son, George, were the most helpful and kind hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Every question answered, and problem solved. They were the best!

The studios were specious with good amenities (frig, hot plate, washer, patio seating.) They had a local charm to them that we enjoyed. The location was excellent. Close walk to everything. Easy access to the beach and taxi drop off areas.

Tip: Be sure and use Google Maps to locate property otherwise you could find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Great host, great stay

We enjoyed our stay in Chania. The location of the studio is excellent, right in the old town. Parking was convenient and free, just a couple of blocks away. The host was very helpful and kind, providing us with towels for the beach and a sun umbrella. We were greeted with lemonade which was very nice too. The beds weren't terrific they were a bit old and slightly uncomfortable but not a big problem.

Perfect Part of Town!

The room itself was lovely. The air-condition unit was so loud that even Turing the tv to full volume couldn't drown it out. If a new unit is put in, the stay will be lovely. You walk out the door and you are let out into the streets that are lined with restaurants and shops. People are strolling through the streets with no sense of urgency. We really enjoyed this part of town!

Excellent apartment.

Right in the middle of the old town but on a lovely quiet street. Iason studios is an excellent place to stay. Great balcony to chill out on, basic but great amenities with a small hob, washing line (even a bowl was provided!) everything to keep you fed and watered. Fantastic air con in the bedroom, as it gets very hot in Chania. Would stop here again no problem! Fresh towels every day.

Chania and Iason were a happy Surprise

Iason Studios is a charming small hotel located in the old town of Chania, Crete. We booked the unit with the kitchen and it would be perfect for a short or longer stay. Staff are very helpful and accommodating. The Studios are well located to restaurants and food stores. The bus station is about a 15 minute walk. Some great restaurants in the area.We would go back in a heartbeat. For context, we used this as a stepping stone to go to Paleochora for the beaches and hiking. There was much more to Chania than we had imagined and that includes Iason Studios.

Clean convenient but no wow factor

Very friendly owner and spotlessly clean accommodation but lacked lustre. Very old and run down building with very old furniture. Nothing matched and The bed and the pillows was so hard that I felt like I was getting a pressure sore.

Wonderful stay in Old town!

An amazing find within the old town. If you stay anywhere in Chania...make it within the old town. The streets are nostalgically beautiful, full of windy little alleyways. Forget a map, just walk and get lost and before you know it, you come to a familiar stop.
Iason Studios is in a great location. Very well kept. Loved having my breakfast on the patio! Despina was very welcoming and helpful...always smiling. The studio had sufficient utensils for cooking small meals I guess but other than getting breakfast needs from nearby grocer, I didn't bother. All in all a wonderful stay and I would have extended if time permitted.

Charming with excellent location!

Our room at Iason was comfortable, in a large room with a kitchen area, bed area, and a sitting area. The balcony overlooked the charming alleyway of the old quarters. We were footsteps away from the harbor area and about a 10 minute walk from a beach where we could rent a chair an umbrella for 5 euros. They also offer a transfer from the airport for 20 euros. The only complaint was the spoty wifi, which was also spotty down along the harbor so I am not sure if this is a fault of Iason or of the area in general. I would highly recommend Iason to my friends and family and would stay here again if I am ever lucky enough to travel to Chania again!

Great Location

In the heart of the old town Iason Studios was nevertheless relatively quiet.The \"Landlady\", Despina, was very helpful, though not always there. The room was full of atmosphere and there was always hot water at any time of the day. The \"cooking facilities\" however left a lot to be desired, giving only very minimal heat in the one large and one tiny ring. Trying to use a ring and the electric kettle at the same time blew a fuse. There was certainly no shortage of places to eat so I imagine most people eat out. We would stay there again if in Chania.

everything just right

We were given a lovely room on the first floor with balcony overlooking one quiet alley plus a big window facing onto another alley, so views in both directions. They gave us a welcome tray with nuts, olives and a decanter of raki. The owner, Despina, is friendly, fluent in English, and very discreet. The bathroom was bigger than the average usual Greek style, and the selfcatering kitchen nicely appointed, and with some unexpected complimentary perks, such as coffee, tea, and olive oil. The location is perfect for exploring the old town, and close to the beach. It was quiet at night and we slept very well. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
