Lovely place to stay with a great balcony, light airy kitchenette and the location was perfect - a quiet street right in the middle of the old town. The best part however was the exceptional host. She was the most welcoming, helpful and charming person I have met, and a great cook 🙂

We would have liked to stay a little longer and the parking was a little difficult but got there in the end.

The host and location

Nothing at all we didn't like

in the Madonna Studio in Chania, hosting was exceptional from start to finish, so friendly and helpful with everything, home made cakes, biscuits and pies in abundance, fresh orange juice, clean and well equipped room in a perfect location in the old town, would totally recommend to anyone wanting traditional greek accommodation beautifully blended with the additional mod cons we all expect

Thomais is an amazing lady, a perfect host, she looked after us exceptionally well. Her kindness will not be forgotten, she surpasses all others we have met over many holidays, She and her daughter treated me with great concern when I became immobile with back pain for many of the days. Nothing was too much trouble. She made sure we had everything we needed to help us through. An agonising flight home and still I'm laid up and reflecting on having met such a wonderful sincere family.

Such a lovely little place, Thomais the host is amazing as all the other reviews say. Location is great and room was really big.

Most buildings in the old town do not have parking, and the nearby public one gets quite full during August.

Big room in an authentic historic venetian building in the old town of Chania, next to the old port, with a terrace overlooking both the inner courtyard and the cobbled street, it's the perfect place to enjoy the lovely buzz of Chania. Our host, Thomais, was always available, and brought us a nice homemade breakfast with Dakos, Kalitsounia and Greek Yogurt with honey every morning.

What did I like? Everything! The location? Just in the middle of Chania old town, a minute away from the Venetian port. The building? An impressive Venetian house from 13th Century impressively maintained. The facilities? All you need to spend a really nice days. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. The host? Thomais is the perfect host. She runs Madonna Studios with all her heart. Her devotion to make the guests to be like at home is the best value. She prepares delicious homemade breakfast with pie and juice. What a nice surprise. We really didn't expect to have such a great stay at Madonna Studios. Crete is a fabulous island, with a lot of places to visit. We will be back for sure, and what's really sure, is that it will be at Madonna Studios. You are looking where to stay in Chania? This is your place! Thanks for everything, Thomais! We loved our stay!

Nothing bad!

It was a wonderful time at Madonna Studios, where we stayed during our vacation in Chania. The location of Madonna Studios is absolutely terrific, which is located on a very beautiful and at the same time on a very calm street of the old town. It‘s just 100 meters away to the Venatian harbour. There was an also lovely Jazz-Bar on the corner of the street. And the beautiful architecture of Madonna Studios gives you a warm feeling of Nostalgia. We stayed on the top floor, which had two huge terraces. Our room was like an apartment, which gave the feeling of home. Very cosy, clean and with all facilities inside: nothing more to expect. What i can say more about the Madonna Studios, that there was a great host, a very warm hearted lady,Thomais, who welcomed us from beginning on with all her hospitality. A fresh baked very delicious apple pie and orange juice was was waiting us upon our arrival. One practical information to add is also the possibility of public car parks, which are located very close to the hotel. I would definitely prefer to stay there again, when i would go to Chania the next time.

Everything was above and beyond expectations, including Thomais. The location was superb and Thomais made us treats and fresh juice, she was informative, kind and welcoming. The room was spacious, cool and gorgeous. It felt like home. The port was a 1 min walk yet Madonna Studios was quiet and peaceful. I couldn't recommend this accommodation any more highly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and was very sad to leave Thomais and her gorgeous neighbour Christina ❤️

Nothing could have been better.

Thomais did everything to make our stay in Chania perfect. She went out of her way to help us with ideas about places to go, places to eat, how to use postal services, where to park. Her breakfasts were exceptional, and the level of her care for us was extraordinary.

Nothing, everything was wonderful.

Everything was wonderful. I really loved the balcony and after exhausting myself walking everywhere in the morning, spent many happy hours reading on the gorgeous balcony. The plants in the outside area are beautiful. It's a fantastic spot - although it's in the middle of the old town, it's exceptionally quiet. Thomais and Katerina are so amazingly kind, they really make you feel at home, it's a brilliant place to stay. And Thomas's cooking is fantastic! The studio is very clean too.

The Madonna Studios is located at the old Port of Chania on a quiet and beautiful street. The building itself is an old traditional house built with local rocks, which makes it very cool in the warm summer of Creta. Ms. Thomais, the owner, took great care of us. She would cook for us traditional local treats from Chania region and narrate the story of the city. A wonderful and warm experience.

The room was nice but nothing spectacular which is to be expected in the old town. The host Thomais is the most wonderful person. She is welcoming and helpful. From giving recommendations for beaches, attractions and restaurants. Every morning at you time she makes delicious pastries and freshly squeezed orange juice. One afternoon she even made us from scratch a traditional ice cream. It feels like you are staying with your grandmother. It was amazing.
