Chania Town

"This property was one of the most impressive places we’ve stayed in. The room itself was gorgeous and spacious. It had the old time characteristics but with a contemporary feel. Every amenity you could ask for was provided, plenty of outlets, hair dryer, iron and ironing boar. The shower was huge and phenomenal. That all is not even mentioning the beautiful balcony off the front to sit in the evenings and watch people and the lights of old town Harbor come on with a glass of wine, provided by a...

Chania-Crete-Vrisses

"The Villa Aloni exceeded all our expectations in terms of quality and facilities. We were looking for somewhere in "hidden Crete" and this property in Maza gave us a sense of rural remoteness but with access to the national road (and easy drives to Hania and Rethymnon) in 5 minutes. The villa was excellently equipped with every modern convenience (except a dishwasher which might have been an asset for a larger party). Everything worked effectively and when the kettle broke, this was replaced...

Top Chania Hotel Reviews

Cretan Dream Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"The location is really great and the hotel is lovely. The staff are incredible- friendly and helpful. Wonderful breakfast. Did not like the smell of the water in the toilet. I imagine it has to do with the water being recycled (grey water) and for such an expensive hotel to not replenish water bottles daily was a surprise. Everything else was fantastic."

Porto Veneziano Hotel

8/10 Good

"A pretty clean room, small but efficient, extremely quiet, comfortable bed, great working AC, internet is good but ask them how to log on using the key on the tv screen, breakfast was fantastic - loads of options and friendly service. Right on the water."

Kriti Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful pool and good breakfast and friendly staff and bar area and very comfortable beds."

Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was outstanding! The beach and pools stunning! The Raw Bar and Topos Restaurants offered unique and delicious selections with great views of the bay."

Corinna Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for couples !!"

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel overall which ticks all the boxes without quite reaching any particular 'wow' factor. The private loungers on the beach were a highlight and the beach is clean with good sand, clear water and great for swimming. Theres also 2 additional pools which are decent and not busy even in peak season when we visited. Being an adults only hotel meant that it was peaceful without noisy kids taking over, however there are a lot of screeching cicadas in the area which are a bit like sitting next to a car alarm especially on the room's balcony area. We opted for half board which was unnecessary as we went into town for dinner, the evening buffet was ok but not amazing, breakfast buffet was good though. From chatting to locals this is one of the bigger hotels in the area and one of the few adults only. Its well regarded locally but having been to varoius other 5 star places it wasnt exceptional, but for Chania its a very good option. The hotel is well located with a handy public bus service into old town; Chania town is very pleasant and has a lot of good places to eat but the best restaurants are away from the harbour. Overall an enjoyable stay."

Diana

10/10 Excellent

"Una estancia estupenda en Diana Rooms. El alojamiento es acogedor, limpio y está muy bien situado para disfrutar de Chania. El trato fue muy agradable y todo estuvo cuidado al detalle. Una opción perfecta para pasar unos días en Creta. ¡Repetiríamos sin duda!"

Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel – Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The room and grounds were immaculate and the staff in all areas could not have been more friendly and helpful. We loved the pool area and the beach. The breakfast was wonderful, lots of choice and nothing was ever empty."

Aulus Chania All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Must go property!"
