I booked the Constantinos Studios just to use as a base for a weekend while visiting friends who lived locally. Chania itself is something of a nightmare... for parking, but the studios are located in a fairly quiet residential area just outside of the centre of town and I had no difficulty in finding somewhere to park on the road right by the studios. Although my stay was out of season (Feb), I suspect parking would still be ok during the summer months. As the title of my review states, the studio was pretty basic, but this is reflected by the price. I believe the studios vary in size/layout, and being on my own I may have been allocated a small room. The bedroom area has an air-con/heater unit – as it was cold and raining for my stay, I only used the heater which very quickly and quietly made the room nice and cosy! Furnishings wise - a standard double bed (actually very comfortable by Crete standards - not the rock-solid hard mattresses you usually find!), a tiny wardrobe (approx 18 inches wide) which contained several hangers and with a full length mirror on the door, 2 bedside tables and a small dressing table with mirror - all of these tables had an additional open shef under them for storage. There were no chests of drawers or cupboards, so you would probably struggle for storage space with a week or more worth of holiday clothes etc.. The bathroom – shower only - is compact. The shower has a shower curtain (not always found in Cretan accommodation!). One slight negative, the toilet cistern/ballcock (?) was broken, so the top of the cistern had been removed and the toilet had to be flushed by pulling on a small pipe – that worked perfectly well, but not ideal! I suspect this will be fixed fairly soon though! Also note that there is no storage or any shelves to store toiletries other than the corners of the sink. The ‘kitchen’ is very basic – a 2-ring electric counter-top stove, and a full size under-counter fridge with small freezer compartment. Along the sa by Angie from UK on 03/03/11
