Featuring a restaurant and a pool with sun terrace amidst its palm-tree garden, Royal Sun lies within 3 km from the centre of Chania Town. It offers air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a private balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and the town. Really good hotel, really friendly staff. We couldn’t make for the breakfast because we were leaving early and the reception girl just reserved the breakfast boxes for us to taking with us the next day morning. The swimming pool is really nice and beautiful, the restaurant The Hill is also recommend, price really good, view really good and food also delicious.

Porto Veneziano Hotel enjoys a privileged location on the waterfront of Chania's Old Venetian harbour. It offers panoramic views and accommodation in a minimal navy design.

Just 300 metres from the centre of Chania, Porto Veneziano is an ideal base for your stay in this historic town. Fitted with geothermal air conditioning, the modern guest rooms are appointed with private balconies, allowing you to admire views of the harbour, the Old Town or the White Mountains of Crete. What an amazing little family run hotel right on the port. Absolutely everything was fantastic from time of check in to departure after an amazing breakfast. We travel a lot and stay in amazing properties but this small 3☆ hotel could teach many other hotels on how to do it right. We had no choice of room as it was fully booked and that was sad as it was a bit small for the 2 of us but as you are never in the room who cares. Beds and pillows super comfortable and good size showers. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, the best we have had in Crete as everything fresh and cooked to perfection. Parking available behind the hotel which was a big plus.

Located in Topanas district of Chania Town and housed in a Venetian, 13-century building, Hotel Off offers elegantly decorated accommodation with free WiFi access. A rich breakfast including local delicacies can be enjoyed daily at the internal courtyard. The hotel is very well-maintained and full of character, with an excellent location in the center of Chania – the perfect place for exploring the port and historical sights. The breakfast was perfect, made entirely from fresh products. I highly recommend the staff – very helpful – as well as the step-by-step assistance with the accommodation.

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki is centrally located in Chania Old Town, in the Venetian Harbour.

Etz Hayyim Synagogue is a few steps from Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki, while Archaeological Museum of Chania is 100 metres from the property. The nearest airport is Chania International Airport, 11 km from Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki. Absolutely everything: the location, the cleanliness, the friendliness, everything was just on the spot! Special thanks to the owner Stella who responded immediately to our request for earlier check in because of the early flight and tight schedule as well as taking care of providing us even beach towels ☺️ We have already stayed there once early July and now again late August and would come back in future for sure!
