Doma

Frommer's Review

Long regarded as one of the most distinctive hotels on Crete, the neoclassical, turn-of-the-century Doma was once a fine mansion, former home of the British consulate. Authentic Cretan heirlooms and historical pictures decorate its public areas. Bedrooms and bathrooms are not especially large but are perfectly adequate. The four suites are roomier. All the rooms are plainly decorated -- even a bit severe, with muted wall colors and rather old-fashioned furniture. Front rooms have great views of the sea but also the sounds of passing traffic, even though the hotel is far from the noisy town center. The third-story dining room offers fresh breezes and a superb view of Old Chania; breakfast here includes several homemade delights, while the evening dinner features Cretan specialties. An elevator provides access for those who can't take stairs. Among the hotel's special features is a museum-quality display of headdresses from all over the world. The Doma is not for those seeking luxury, but it appeals to travelers who appreciate a discreet old-world atmosphere.
