If you’re hoping to walk out the door and onto the beach, this is the place for you! Everyone who worked there was kind and helpful, and I loved having a view of the sea. It was fun to be close to Old Town and the Venetian Port as well.

During my recent stay at Hotel Danaos, I was charmed by its perfect beachfront location—just steps from Nea Chora Beach, and within a leisurely 15‑minute walk along the sea to Chania’s historic Venetian harbour and downtown . The stunning sea views from the balconies were the ideal backdrop to sip morning coffee or unwind at sunset. The hotel offers great value for money with clean, well‑equipped rooms (air conditioning, mini‑fridge, TV, Wi‑Fi) and daily housekeeping . In particular, guests praised the continental breakfast buffet—plentiful options like yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal and juices served in a bright seaside room . What truly stands out is the warm, family-run atmosphere—the staff were consistently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, assisting with tips for exploring Chania, arranging bike or car rentals, and welcoming guests like old friends.

Hotel was right on beach. Near restaurants and bars. Decent size room for 3 people. Parking was a few blocks away. Staff at bar attached to hotel were very unfriendly. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri and was given an attitude. They claimed it was very difficult to make and took them 25 minutes to make it! It was the worst daiquiri I’ve ever had. Also, when given a room with a “city view” I wasn’t expecting to see a neighborhood with a man in his boxers smoking. Make sure you request ocean view.

Lovely little basic hotel right on the waterfront. Immaculate good sized rooms, comfortable firm beds, comfortable table and chairs on balcony. Brollies for beach and balcony. Hot water, WiFi, TV all excellent. 10-15mi s walk to old Town and plenty of good restaurants and bars on the doorstep. Will definitely be back.

This is a basic hotel, but clean and comfy. Amazing to get a place right on the most beautiful beach! You also save €5 on beach umbrella & chairs because you stay here. Tons of restaurants here and a 10-15min walk along the water to get to old toqn. We didnt have any problems. WIFI is slow in rooms but works amazing on the beach. Amazing place to stay for the money!

The Hotel is right on the Nea Chora beach strip with a fantastic view and a decent restaurant on the front of the hotel where you can have a well priced breakfast, lunch or dinner. 8 Euro for all you can eat breakfast with many options. Beachside restaurants up and down the street offering delicious seafood and Greek dishes or a take a 15-20 min walk along the coastline to the beautiful old port town with its boundless restaurants and shops along the pedestrian walkways. If you have a car you will have to park it in a lot a few blocks away but they do have parking available. Overall good value for money and had an excellent stay.

The hotel staff were lovely… in particular the cleaning staff and front desk ladies! If we needed anything they were right there! The room itself was a little outdated and so felt rather dingy, in particular the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a balcony with ocean view. Screen on the door would be great so to keep the fresh air in and out without the mosquitoes. Would also be great to have no smoking rooms for those of us who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. Overall and great stay!

I booked 2 nights in this hotel as my friend visited me for a long weekend and we wanted to spend a couple of days in Chania. I'd previously stayed at this hotel when my sister visited me in May. I had a twin bed room overlooking the beach and, as the price was so reasonable, was expecting it to be acceptable, but I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, the room was comfortable, well-equipped (fridge, TV, large bathroom with a shower and toiletries), towels and bed linens were extremely clean, with quilts available if wanted. The service was second to none - absolutely excellent at all times. Before walking into the city, asked for a kettle which was instantly given to us, so we could have a cuppa before bed (we'd taken some tea bags with us) and were able to make a cuppa whenever we wanted. The downstairs bar serves food and snacks at a very reasonable rate which can be ordered from the terrace which overlooks the beach. The hotel location is perfect - walk across the road and you're on the sand. It's just a ten minute walk to Chania harbour with all its shops, bars and tavernas. The hotel is just far away to be quiet enough to get a good night's sleep, dropping off as you listen to the waves on the shore. The hotel was excellent and all of the staff really couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. I'll definitely use this hotel again in future and would thoroughly recommend it to others.
