Boasting a shared lounge and free WiFi, Cocoon City Hostel is set in Chania Town. The property is close to Mitropoleos Square, Municipal Art Gallery of Chania and Historical Museum of Chania. The accommodation features a shuttle service, while a bicycle rental service is also available. This hostel exceeded every expectation I had and completely changed my perspective on hostels. The facilities are new, clean, and in excellent condition. The staff is friendly and always ready to help, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. There’s a lovely courtyard with a pool, a dedicated study room, a well-equipped kitchen, and spacious common areas for cooking and relaxing. The bathrooms are spotless, as they are cleaned multiple times throughout the day, and I never experienced any crowding or waiting. It’s by far the best value for money you can find — without sacrificing comfort in any way. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

Just 50 metres from the beach and 1 km from Rethymno Town, Archipelagos Hotel is set on a hillside with panoramic views over the Cretan Sea and the Venetian Castle. Facilities include an outdoor communal pool and private pools, a pool bar and free WiFi. Great hotel with extremely helpful manager at the reception, really nice man, he gave us lot of useful recommendations to our travels. We really liked the breakfast. While the siting arrangement was basic and choice not lavish, the products were local and home made giving us great local experience. For us, quality of product is more important than width of selection. If we travel to the area again, we will definitely come back to this hotel. Great view from our 8th floor room.

Featuring an a la carte restaurant, Elafonisi Resort by Kalomirakis Family is set amidst a garden with olive trees. It offers air-conditioned accommodation, some self-catering, and free Wi-Fi in public areas. The popular Elafonisi Beach is 650 metres away. I enjoyed the food at the location. It was beyond our expectations. Also, the beach is very close, 5 minutes walking. The apartment rooms are located in a beautiful olive tree garden. They all have a balcony, AC and bathroom.

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. Maybe the best place to watch sunset in Chania! The breakfast buffet & views were amazing. My bed was comfortable & the shower water was hot. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

Just 10 metres from its private beach in Analipsi, Hersonissos, Stella Village features 2 swimming pools with poolside bars surrounded by colourful gardens. It offers 2 restaurants, 2 tennis courts and a kids’ club. We enjoyed the Water park, its amazing! Its way much better than the water park Aqua Plus in Crete. So you get amazing slides just by living in this hotel! Very nice food, and we got a chance to have a dinner in newly opened restaurant Philema, which was fantastic. Very helpful, always smiling staff in Stella villages. The beach next to the hotel is not crowded and it was a pleasure to have a swim there. Thank you Stella Villages ❤️
