This central Chania hotel is just 200 metres from the Old Town walls and the Venetian harbour. It offers Cretan hospitality, modern furniture and facilities, air-conditioned and soundproof rooms and a limited capacity underground parking. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2021. Perfect location, friendly staff, very clean rooms (we received new towels every day and the room was regularly cleaned). Close to bus station, near the port and in walking distance to the best local beach. We will surely stay here again.

El Greco Hotel is located in the Old Town of Chania, right next to the Venetian harbor and only 500m from the beach of Nea Chora.

Enjoy a really magnificent world, discover the charm and the quality of life in a hotel, which has been recently renovated, that has so much to offer to its special guests.We have more to offer that merely the carefully chosen design of the salon and the rooms. The warm atmosphere and the uniqueness of the El Greco Hotel are sure to make your stay unforgettable. Everything about El Greco is simply wonderful. Location, accommodation, breakfast, facilities and staff. El Greco was also so accommodating when we missed our ferry to Santorini that they happily extended our stay for a few more nights taking extra care of us for the additional days. It is located at the heart of Old Town in Chania, a 2min walk from the parking lot / taxi meeting point, 20min from the city's central bus station, 10min walk from the shopping center and just a 10min walk from Nea Chora Beach (the best part). Next door is an incredibly good restaurant called Kalderimi which is a must-try when in Chania too! Thanks to El Greco for making our stay so wonderfully memorable!

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. Although the property is ranked as a 3* hotel because of the smaller rooms, everything else is asking for a 4+. We had a lovely experience starting with the reception. The 2 ladies were so nice and attentive to all our needs. The same friendly and polite attitude from all the hotel staff. Breakfast was included, varied (fruits, yoghourt, salads, bruschetta, pastry, boiled eggs) and fresh. The room was clean with comfy beds. We really liked the room amenities: hair conditioner available in the shower, slippers, tea, soft napkins. We appreciated the free car parking also, as the harbor area is a bit crowded.

Set in Palaiochóra, 70 metres from Pachia Ammos, Ammos Paleochora Hotel offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is located 46 km from Kissamos / Kasteli Port. Second time here, still brilliant. Modern, clean, stylish rooms. First time here I was a bit curious about the lack of extra stuff like a reception area or a breakfast room, but this time I realized these are things you do not really need. The lack of the "hotel" style stuff just makes you feel more at home. And the coffee at the Palm Tree restaurant one half minute down the street is world class anyways. The guy running the place is also awesome. Best place to stay in town, hands down.
