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. Nice and quiet where the hotel is. They offer a free taxi service to take you into town and back. Would recommend getting the breakfast included as there’s no where to eat near the hotel. Hotels food and drinks are very good. Staff are super friendly they bought out more deckchairs for us when it got busy by the pool. They also can arrange taxis for you to and from the airport for €26, if you’re coming here I wouldnt rent a car, its very hilly and you dont need one! But for the most part it’s very quiet, clean and looks just as good as the pictures.

This central Chania hotel is just 200 metres from the Old Town walls and the Venetian harbour. It offers Cretan hospitality, modern furniture and facilities, air-conditioned and soundproof rooms and a limited capacity underground parking. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2021. The location was very good, the hotel was great but what was exceptional was the staff and especially the receptionist Mrs Dora. The way she greeted us - checkin and made feel welcome was really 5star professional. Maybe she should start teaching about it, cause many many places in Greece need her training. But additional to her - the staff in the breakfast were also friendly and amazing making the whole experience superb

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. The nearest airport is Chania International Airport, 11 km from Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki. We loved our stay at the hotel. It was spacious, comfortable with a very generous covered balcony which we used everyday. We wanted to be right in the centre of the Old Town and we could not have wished for a better location. For us Shalom ticked all our boxes. Thank you Stella.
