Serenissima is situated in the heart of the old town. There is no car traffic in the area, so the hotel staff has to meet your taxi at a prearranged spot and lead you to the hotel. The hotel is an old Venetian/Ottoman house that has been nicely converted. The room we had was large, clean and nice. The staff is always helpful and the breakfast is good. The one criticism is that there is no handrail along the top flight of steps going to the top floor. I'd strongly recommend asking the hotel staff to help you with your luggage.

We had a wonderful stay at the Serenissima Boutique Hotel. The staff was very kind and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel was perfect for walking to many close restaurants and shopping. The only negative would be if you have a rental car, there is no parking at the hotel (you have to walk to it) and it’s very difficult to find parking near by. Overall, we would definitely stay again!

This property is a hidden gem! It’s absolutely gorgeous and everyone is so welcoming and nice. We took the ferry over from Athens and we weren’t sure about transportation so the hotel booked it for us, we just paid the driver. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and you order from the menu. Everyone that works here goes above and beyond. We would give this place 10 ⭐️ if that option was available 🤩

Stayed at Serenissima Hotel for three nights. What a great Hotel, old world charm with all the modern amenities you would expect in a luxury boutique Hotel. Staff were excellent in every interaction. Breakfast in the courtyard each morning was delicious and coffee on the terrace each morning was fantastic. Highly recommend the terrace suites. Great location in Old Town, walkable to everyone. Would love to come back and visit again.

Staff was excellent. In particular, we had an issue around securing a taxi for an early morning ride to the airport. As we were running out of time, staff came in for the morning shift, and immediately went to work contacting a taxi. Literally within minutes, she had contacted an available taxi within a two minute walk from our hotel, and actually walked us to the taxi to assure that it wasn't snatched up by someone else. Breakfast was cooked to order--very nice. Only downside was getting to the hotel from the airport. Hotel is located in a no-drive area of old town. The taxi driver stopped at the top of a hill and pointed down to old town to identify our hotel's location. It took us a while to find it--struggling with luggage on crowded cobblestone streets, but eventually came across it. High marks, a wonderful stay.

The staff here are amazing, they went out of their way to make our stay great. The location is really perfect and it is beautiful inside - the automatic blinds were very cool. I would argue however that this is not really a 5 star hotel. The desk is not 24 hours, there is no room service, and there is not an on-site restaurant anymore. I think these services are required to consider the hotel 5-stars. I also paid €60 euros for a small bag of laundry which I think is OUTRAGEOUS, I still regret doing it. The staff is the main reason I rate this so highly, the cleaners and front desk staff were all so kind and helpful - for them alone I would suggest it.

A great hotel in the middle of the old city
The hotel was in a great location: in the old city of Chania on a quiet street two blocks from the harbor. We ate dinner at three great small restaurants close to the hotel but away from the touristy restaurants directly at the harbor. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the public parking lot at the harbor. We thought it was fine but I can see other people not being happy not to be able to drive up to the hotel. The staff at the hotel asked if we wanted help getting our bags to our room but we were ok doing this ourselves. The room itself was fabulous: big and comfortable. The location was also fabulous.

This is a very nice hotel with a spacious room and great customer service. We booked 2 rooms and stayed 3 nights. The rooms have very high ceilings and multiple window equipped with automatic blinds. Breakfast was excellent, all foods were individually made, and even orange juice was freshly made. The location is very close to Venetian Harbor and old town. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. We enjoyed staying, and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting Chania in the future.

This hotel was outstanding. Located in the middle of charming Old Town Chania, yet totally quiet from the noise of the area, it was an easy walk to great restaurants and shopping. Clean, modern yet historic, and the friendliest staff we encountered in our whole trip. This is a must stay, and we certainly will if we are fortunate enough to return to Crete. We stayed 3 nights, wish it had been 7!!

I really struggle to find anything negative to say about the room and the hotel. The room was pristine, service authentic, breakfast delicious and warmly served, and the public areas of the hotel very clean and peaceful. One suggestion would be to get local toiletry products (shampoos) from a Greek brand, rather than the Milton Brown products from UK. Otherwise lovely stay!

Slight issue with Expedia description of the room (no balcony), the staff at the hotel tried their best but could not do anything to fully rectify. There is no lift or elevator, and the taxi/car has to drop you off about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. This did not unduly worry us, but could be a problem from somebody else. The staff in the hotel were brilliant and very helpful.

Dear guest, We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback. It is regrettable that we could not fully rectify the slight issue created with our rooms’ description through Expedia. It also came as a surprise to us to discover such a mistake and unfortunately, since you were already at the hotel when we both realized it, nothing could be done but al least try to correct it for future guests. I am very glad you realized that our hotel was not responsible for such a mistake and I can promise you that from now on, our team here will be overlooking our various partners more strictly. As already discussed during your stay with us, our hotel, this 16th century jewel, is protected by the Greek archaeology department, therefore no amendments are allowed to be made on its basic structure. An elevator would have been very helpful indeed, but unfortunately it could not be added. We also understand that not being able to drive or park a car inside the Old Town of Chania can be a real hassle, especially during the high season, but sometimes, when you want to preserve something, small sacrifices must be made. It is our belief though, that anything we may lack, our hotel staff makes up for and we are glad that you noticed that. We feel very proud for our team here. We are fortunate enough to work with people who understand the true meaning of hospitality and are eager enough to apply it in their everyday routines. We’re very pleased you had a great stay and really hope to see you again in the near future. Kind Regards Panagiotis Gkirtis Hotel Manager

Wonderful suite in excellent hotel in Old Town
We had a terrific suite with a private balcony near the top of the hotel. Lots of windows so wonderful light and cute views of surrounding Old Town buildings. There were many steps to climb up to the room but staff carried our luggage. Excellent staff service. Note that, as seems to be the norm in Old Town, toilet paper must be put in a garbage can next to the toilet and cannot be flushed away. Parking can be difficult in Old Town so make sure to call staff before arriving. We were instructed to park in a lot roughly 5-10 mins. walk from the hotel. They then came to get us and took our luggage. All in all, an excellent place to stay in a wonderful location if you want to be in Old Town.
