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. I would highly recommend Royal Sun to anyone visiting Chania. The combination of excellent service, fantastic amenities, and a breathtaking view makes it a top choice. The hotel exceeded all my expectations in every way. I look forward to returning here on my next trip to Chania. Special kudos to reception team! You guys are amazing!

Each with a furnished balcony with sea, garden or mountain views, the spacious units at Aphrodite Beach include air conditioning, a satellite TV, hairdryer, toiletries and safe. Aphrodite, the owner, is really nice and very efficient and helpful. Breakfast is great, with a large variety of dishes, fruits, vegetables, and desserts. The rooms are nice and spacious with great shower. The location for beach lovers couldn't be better - right on the beach. It's about 10-15 minutes walk to the village center, but there are tavernas, mini market , supermarket etc, just next door

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.

Within 100 metres from the city centre, Kastro Hotel is well-situated for exploring the ancient sites of Heraklion. It offers spacious, air-conditioned rooms with breakfast included in the rate.

Each of the rooms at Kastro is well-presented with modern décor details such as elegant wallpapers and draped curtains. Modern amenities include LCD TV and a mini fridge. Some rooms have either terraces or balconies. This hotel totally exceed my expectations, the room was incredible, pretty modern and comfortable. Breakfast is super complete, different options and everything was delicious. Location is the best, 2 min away from a lot of places. Going to the ferry port is pretty easy from this place. I would definitely stay again.

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. We really liked the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. We were celebrating our honeymoon and the staff prepared a really nice surprise for us upon our arrival: a very delicious cake and champagne. We want to thank the hotel for this kind gesture, it was a very pleasant surprise. The room was very clean and was cleaned up every day. The food in the restaurant was very good: the breakfast is delicious and diversified, with fresh ingredients. We also ate a-la-carte in one evening and we were blown away by how good the food was - I ate beef steaks in many restaurants in Crete during our stay, but the steak from Kydon Hotel restaurant was by far the best one.

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.
