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.

Located in the centre of Chania, Kydon Hotel is opposite of the main market hall and just a few minutes' walk from the Old Town and the Venetian Harbour. Meeting facilities and free WiFi Fiber in all areas are provided. The hotel is very nice and clean! The staff is friendly, polite and helpful which made the whole stay even better. The room was comfortable and nice, ours also had a balcony where we could dry the clothes after beach and rest. Breakfast is also good and has some options, if you don't want to spend morning looking for a place to eat outside. Location was almost perfect, we could be at the city centre in maximum of 10 minutes walk. The hotel also has a parking with a small daily fee, it was very convenient since the island is big and we wanted to explore around with a car.

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. Very nice hotel, with one of the best breakfast options with the possibility of ordering from the menu. Wide variety of coffee. The staff was very nice, helpful. Parking was available behind the hotel. The hotel had a central location in the port, access to the city centre and restaurants. The rooms were clean, we loved that we could blackout the windows. The windows blocked out the noise of nightlife perfectly. We wish we could have stayed in this hotel a bit longer.

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. Shalom Luxury is located at the heart of Kondilaki, a vibrant and bustling street in Chania Town. To get to Room 1, you walk past diners enjoying their meal al fresco--just like you would imagine a Greek dining experience to be. Room 1 has a patio with furniture, and its room is cozy, exceptionally clean, and large. The bathroom was especially large as well. I am very grateful we stayed at this hotel because it made our Cretan experience that much more wonderful and unforgettable. Its location enabled us to enjoy the Old Town with its many, many cafes, restaurants, and shops. And because the harbor was right there, we were able to spontaneously book a boat ride for an afternoon swim. We hope to return to this island and this hotel in the near future!
