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. It was more than expected.

The view was spectacular since it is located on the hill and you could see all Chania underneath!! A total Value for Money!!

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. Everything was wonderful. The location right on a quiet little beach, the gorgeous pool area, the rooms and facilities were perfect and the staff very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The bedroom was spacious and well appointed with a very comfortable bed and bathroom, and an outside patio surrounded by lush garden- delightful. Breakfast was a delicious buffet overlooking the pool and beach and varied each day. There was ample on street parking in front of and near the hotel. It is conveniently located near enough to Kissamos for supermarkets etc as well as neighbouring beaches such as Falasarna and Balos. We will be back next time we are in Kissamos.

The room service did an excellent job - they even folded my t-shirts that were on the couch. Even the showering products had good quality.

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. Although the property is ranked as a 3* hotel because of the smaller rooms, everything else is asking for a 4+. We had a lovely experience starting with the reception. The 2 ladies were so nice and attentive to all our needs. The same friendly and polite attitude from all the hotel staff. Breakfast was included, varied (fruits, yoghourt, salads, bruschetta, pastry, boiled eggs) and fresh. The room was clean with comfy beds. We really liked the room amenities: hair conditioner available in the shower, slippers, tea, soft napkins. We appreciated the free car parking also, as the harbor area is a bit crowded.

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki is centrally located in Chania Old Town, in the Venetian Harbour.

Etz Hayyim Synagogue is a few steps from Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki, while Archaeological Museum of Chania is 100 metres from the property.
