Excellent!!!!
Excellent stay with very welcoming staff, they supported us since the arrival, helping with the luggage and planning the itinerary for our days there. Highly recommend to include the breakfast with Socrates... its an amazing experience and totally worth it. You feel like part of the family and they are always happy to help you no matter what. They even let us have a late check out to enjoy a full beach day before our night flight... already wanting to go back and share more experiences with the Hanim family!

One of the best hotels to stay at while in Chania Town. The premises exude a very pleasing, cozy feel while the hosts make you feel right at home, and are some of most friendly and accommodating people you will meet on all your travels. We arrived on a very late flight and they had a taxi prepared to meet us at the airport and even went so far as to check us in at 2am! The breakfast offered by Socrates is not to be missed, as it will probably be one of the best meals you will experience in all of Crete during your stay. This is the perfect family-run boutique hotel, and Rena goes out of her way to make you wish to return every year (which we just might!) Thank you again to all the staff, we cannot wait to come back :)

I don’t think I’ve ever met a friendlier staff that also provides a great hotel. The rooms are large, clean, affordable, and in a perfect location. But again, the staff is so kind and go out of their way. Their little touches make it above expectations. I will definitely be booking this hotel again.

jederzeit sehr gerne wieder :-)
Die Lage ist perfekt :-), mittendrin, aber trotzdem sehr ruhig im Haus. Mehrere Lokale in unmittelbarer Nähe. Tolle Unterstützung in Sachen Tourenplanung , Restaurants und Sehenswürdigkeiten in Chania und Umgebung. Frühstück wird frisch für die Gäste
(im selben Raum) zubereitet und in einem "4-Gänge Menü" perfekt präsentiert und genauestens erklärt (Herkunft der Produkte, Herstellung etc) ;-). Hierbei vorab die Abfrage nach Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten - TOP! Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten und frühstücken wollen. Es war eine tolle Zeit. Im Zimmer sind Fön und Kühlschrank vorhanden und es gibt die Möglichkeit Tee und Kaffee zuzubereiten. Danle nochmal an das gesamt Team: ihr seid super...weiter so.

" Treated like family"
Our second time staying here in 3 years. Great central location in a beautiful street.
We were made feel so welcome by Rena and had gourmet breakfasts prepared by her husband Socrates that we will remember for a long time.
The room was spacious clean, and the bed comfortable. Our hosts have created a unique atmosphere here, that is the key.
The owners and family( Maddo, forgive spelling) were extremely helpful in recommendations for local restaurants and sights. This was a big plus.
We will be back!

Kind owners + memorable breakfast = pleasant stay!
Rena and her sister were so friendly, welcoming, and professional, they really care about their customers! They made me feel special and very at ease from the first seconds. And Socrates, so gifted as a multilingual chef - do not miss the breakfast, it is probably the best you'll experience in Chania, a proper culinary experience with so many fresh and diverse, original ingredients. Lastly, the location is perfect, the room was very well isolated and comfortable. I stayed only one night but would not hesitate to book there again.

Have done an extensive amount of traveling and stays, and Hanim Lounge and Studios by far and above makes my top 3 places I've ever stayed, and may well take the top spot. Family run, hosts were incredible, took so much time to help us plan our trip in Crete and accomodate anything we needed. They were so kind and treated us like friends. I would stay here 100/100 times if I came back to Crete. They had a huge impact on how much my husband and I loved Crete, cannot give enough rave reviews!
The host is super warm and friendly. I feel like its my sec home in the world. Also if u got any problems just ask her she is always willing to help out. I will just cone back to Greece coz of this hotel.
To begin with, Rena is the fantastic host. She mades Hanim the special place it is. The breakfast is absolutely delicious. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.
Sehr nette, kommunikative Mitarbeiter*innen. Das Frühstück ist besonders gut und ein Erlebnis. Es lohnt sich, die Zeit dafür zu nehmen.
Sehr gute Informationen über Restaurants und Aktivitäten. Sehr hilfsbereit.
The staff are tremendous; I got lost in the city having rented a car, the owner Socrates cane and found me helped me park the car and took me back to the hotel. We had to move hotels due to availability and Socrates’ wife walked us to the new hotel approx 500m away and helped carry our luggage - unbelievable!
Breakfast is Michelin Star quality, it’s an absolute delight and a bargain at 10euros per head. Don’t miss it!!!!
Our stay at Hanim was one of the best stays we have had. Everything was as described & better. From the first minute we arrived we were made to feel like part of the family. The location, cleanliness & facilities can’t be faulted. We can’t wait to return & would like to thank Rena, Socrates & everyone for a great stay.
Sehr nette Leute. Als erstes bekamen wir umfangreiche Infos über Chania und viele gute Tipps.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön aber bissl teuer.
Die politische Haltung der Leute hat mir gefallen.
I booked this hotel through hotel.com & got a confirmation email. The next day, my day of arrival, I got 3 cancellation notices from them before noon. I only had WIFI for 15 min at noon so I had to scramble to get another reservation somewhere else. Upon arriving at the other hotel and reconnecting to WiFi, this hotel tried to rebook me later that day then claimed I was a “no show” refusing to refund my money. Hotel.com requested the refund for me and it was denied.
Absolutely perfect in every way. The friendliest, most helpful hosts, the most perfect breakfast, literally cannot fault any part of the experience. Would never stay anywhere else in Chania given the choice.
Hôtel idéalement situé, très propre avec une terrasse sur le toit offrant une magnifique vue sur la ville. Un accueil formidable, accompagné de bons plans et conseils. Un service au top avec des hôtes à l'écoute toujours de bons conseils et prêt à vous aider. Un petit déjeuner mémorable fait avec la passion des bons produits accompagné de valeurs et d'histoire, une farandole de saveur en 4 étapes. (Socrate parle parfaitement Français) Un hôtel à ne pas manquer, proche de tout, de bons restaurants, se garer au parking Municipal moins cher et sécurisé (ferme à 23h). Bravo pour le service, la gentillesse et la bienveillance. Merci
