6. Villa Aloni-Traditional stone Villa with nice view,pool and garden

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

Kriti Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in an excellent location, right on the edge of the Old Town, 5 minutes walk from the harbour. Had a very good superior room, with balcony, on the top floor (4th) facing the old town with the sea in the distance. The room was fairly basic, but clean, with a good bed and bathroom. The swimming pool area was better than in the photos , and pleasant enough to spend time lounging around. The inclusive breakfast was very good, with a wide range of hot and cold options to choose from. The bus station is 20 minutes away, and offers good routes to other towns and beaches. I would definitely stay again."

Porto Veneziano Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent, if short, stay. The hotel should really be 4 stars, hands down. Room (suite) was impecable, great furnishings and bedding, staff accommodating and free parking very convenient. The location is as best it can be, right in the harbor, with magnificent views. The only place we will consider if we return to Chania."

Cretan Dream Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"Overall good for what it is, however. Very family friendly, with lots of kids running around. The area is conveniently close to Chania. The breakfast is relatively good for a buffet style, and better than your basic continental. The rooms are dated and are in desperate need of a renovation. The main sticking point for me is the bathroom, it is very small, and overall not very nice. There is no shower curtain so you have to be careful of the shower head angle. Despite the bathroom being small, there also is a small kitchenette that is eating away at valuable real estate. There are 2 burners, sink, and mini fridge and some basic appliances however the burners seem kinda useless to me since there are no pots and pans. Overall good for what it is, I’d say it’s probably a 3 star hotel, I’d recommend if you get a good deal."

Samaria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An Absolutely Wonderful 5-Star Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic stay at the Samaria Hotel in Chania! The location is excellent, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. The staff were incredibly helpful, welcoming, and attentive, always going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast was very good, with a great selection to start the day, and everyone we met was genuinely lovely and friendly. The warm hospitality really made our stay extra special. Everything was wonderful, from the location to the service and the overall atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for more! Definitely a 5-star experience — highly recommended! We would happily stay here again. 🌟"

Domus Renier Boutique Hotel, Member of Domus Elegance Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located in the old town. We had a lot of luggage and Felix helped us"

Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the hotel property, the spa was excellent, great pool and poolside drinks, took feedback well on some tiny points to resolve and enjoyed our stay"

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing variety for included breakfast."

Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel – Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second visit to Atlantica Amalthia. Very nice hotel. Everywhere was very clean, our room was a good size (we had a room in the building on the beach side) with nice balcony. Nice bar and restaurant. Breakfast room was nice and good choice of food. Very well kept beach. All of the staff were first class. So friendly, polite and extremely helpful. Visited the spa and had two massages during my stay and both were very nice and relaxing. Definitely recommend. Reasonable price. Didn't use the pool as it got busy very quickly. Sunbeds were very close together and not positioned well that you could get the sun all day. Whilst I enjoy swimming in a pool, we chose to stay on the beach each day. Good location with plenty of restaurants nearby. Recommend Sebastien next door. Absolute gem of a hotel and would definitely recommend it."

Civitel Akali Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bel hôtel situé un peu en dehors du centre."
