Elia Bettolo

8/10 Good

"Hotel location is excellent for the old town and port . Very quick and easy check in . Room was clean but smaller than expected. The central lift was incredibly noisy , so much so it woke is up many times each night . Breakfast was more than adequate and well displayed , unfortunately even though we were on the top floor , we could smell the bacon cooking from very early in the morning. All the staff were friendly and helpful. It was ok but Not for us this one tbh ."

Elia Erato

8/10 Good

"This hotel was nice and the rooms were quite modern. We had the two bedroom. The check-in was fine at the other property and a young man helped us roll our bags to the second property. The bed was just OK. It was a terrible. It wasn’t great. There was a lovely veranda on our floor. We were room six, but we were never told about it. We just discovered it on our last night and never got to go out there and have a coffee or a glass of wine. There was no service out there, but it would’ve been nice to buy a bottle of wine and people watch on the Venetian Harbour out there. So that was a disappointment and a place for the hotel could do better for the people staying in the secondary property the view wasn’t great from room six it was an alleyway with residential buildings around. They are quite responsive in the lead up to our stay through Expedia messaging and then they gave us a phone number to send WhatsApp messages and they confirmed for us that there were some nearby beaches and beach bars, and restaurants open for us to do a little trip out of the town. If you are OK with kind of a self serve feeling, we would recommend the hotel, but we had just come from a luxurious five star resort with many many amenities so there was a bit of a contrast there for those with mobility issues the stairs up to the suites are quite steep and old-fashioned so it may not be suitable for everybody."

Malmo Historic Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nicely place to stay! Lovely room. And pleasant staff. Breakfast was good but hot breakfast was cold, including coffee, both days. I’d recommend Malmo but huge warning about our most difficult challenge … parking!!! Of course old town is obviously difficult but it was so much worse then expected and took away from our trip, as we were only allowed to park a maximum of four hours in 24 hour period so we had to take our chances not to be ticketed cause we ran out of parking options driving around the city. The frustrating part was the hotel. Staff was not helpful in recommendations or knowledge of parking at all, which was quite a surprise. I would think that they would be more informed and more helpful in this regard."

Kriti Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in an excellent location, right on the edge of the Old Town, 5 minutes walk from the harbour. Had a very good superior room, with balcony, on the top floor (4th) facing the old town with the sea in the distance. The room was fairly basic, but clean, with a good bed and bathroom. The swimming pool area was better than in the photos , and pleasant enough to spend time lounging around. The inclusive breakfast was very good, with a wide range of hot and cold options to choose from. The bus station is 20 minutes away, and offers good routes to other towns and beaches. I would definitely stay again."

Porto Veneziano Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent, if short, stay. The hotel should really be 4 stars, hands down. Room (suite) was impecable, great furnishings and bedding, staff accommodating and free parking very convenient. The location is as best it can be, right in the harbor, with magnificent views. The only place we will consider if we return to Chania."

Elysia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an incredible time! The team helped us book activities, suggested plans based on our interests, were extremely kind and welcoming and the room and amenities were spectacular. To top it off the food was incredible! The breakfast greek yogurt with fruit and granola was my favorite ever. We cant wait to go back!"
