Chania-Crete-Vrisses

"The Villa Aloni exceeded all our expectations in terms of quality and facilities. We were looking for somewhere in "hidden Crete" and this property in Maza gave us a sense of rural remoteness but with access to the national road (and easy drives to Hania and Rethymnon) in 5 minutes. The villa was excellently equipped with every modern convenience (except a dishwasher which might have been an asset for a larger party). Everything worked effectively and when the kettle broke, this was replaced...

Top Chania Hotel Reviews

Cretan Dream Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Hotel Experience! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, everything was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and they made us feel right at home. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. Our room was spacious, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was also fantastic, making it easy to get around and enjoy everything the area has to offer. What really stood out was the exceptional service. Every interaction with the staff was warm and professional, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making sure their guests had a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. We would happily stay here again without hesitation! 5 stars all the way — a truly memorable stay!"

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was outstanding! The beach and pools stunning! The Raw Bar and Topos Restaurants offered unique and delicious selections with great views of the bay."

Corinna Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for couples !!"

Samaria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Decent hotel. Good location. A little dated. Lacking in design and modern aesthetic"

Kriti Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent hotel which I can find almost nothing to fault - perhaps draft beer and options (included paid) for a late check out! The breakfast was ace, the pool well-maintained, a useful gym, fantastic staff and superb location. Thanks for a great stay in Chania!"

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel overall which ticks all the boxes without quite reaching any particular 'wow' factor. The private loungers on the beach were a highlight and the beach is clean with good sand, clear water and great for swimming. Theres also 2 additional pools which are decent and not busy even in peak season when we visited. Being an adults only hotel meant that it was peaceful without noisy kids taking over, however there are a lot of screeching cicadas in the area which are a bit like sitting next to a car alarm especially on the room's balcony area. We opted for half board which was unnecessary as we went into town for dinner, the evening buffet was ok but not amazing, breakfast buffet was good though. From chatting to locals this is one of the bigger hotels in the area and one of the few adults only. Its well regarded locally but having been to varoius other 5 star places it wasnt exceptional, but for Chania its a very good option. The hotel is well located with a handy public bus service into old town; Chania town is very pleasant and has a lot of good places to eat but the best restaurants are away from the harbour. Overall an enjoyable stay."

"Una estancia estupenda en Diana Rooms. El alojamiento es acogedor, limpio y está muy bien situado para disfrutar de Chania. El trato fue muy agradable y todo estuvo cuidado al detalle. Una opción perfecta para pasar unos días en Creta. ¡Repetiríamos sin duda!"
