Perfect hotel for our Chania adventures. The hotel is a short walk to the old town and harbor. It’s also adjacent to the bus station - that made it easy for our trek to Samariá Gorge.
The staff was incredibly helpful with tips for things to do and best way to do them.
We would absolutely stay again.
Very well located property, staff were super helpful and the hotel was clean and well maintained.
5 mins walk from Main Street and cafes and restaurants.
We absolutely loved this hotel and had the best stay. The staff were so friendly and attentive to our needs. The breakfast had so many options and the facilities at the hotel were top notch. The bed was so comfortable, we had the best sleeps! Also loved the cats that slept near the pool (sammy was the cutest).
Would definitely recommend anyone to say here on their stay, and if we ever came back to Chania we would stay here 100%.
Outstanding stay. Love the location, quiet at night but Easy walk to the Venetian Harbor restaurants, shops, lighthouse. Lovely pool. Has a Gym. Valet parking is ok, and not too expensive, 15euro/day. Breakfast is delicious. Just perfectly happy with the hotel stay.
We enjoyed our stay at the Samaria hotel. It was within easy walking distance of the old town and Harbour area.
The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful and the pool was a welcome respite after a day of tourist activities.
