The 10 best hotels in Chania Town, Greece

August 8, 2022 Kandra Bartel

Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbor, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Its lighthouse still proudly overlooks the Mediterranean. Here you’ll find several cinemas and historical attractions like the Archaeological Museum, a collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts that’s housed in the former Monastery of Saint Francis. Word nerds will especially enjoy the Museum of Typography.

Everything in this resort is designed to make you happy starting from the exotic smell at the reception (by the way, you can buy this exclusive scented oil and candle from the hotel shop). The rooms, service, food, amenities, super friendly staff and facilities are all purposed to pamper you and giving you the time of your life. I have never seen such a friendly, professional, welcoming staff like I have seen in this hotel. The hotel is located around 20 mins walk from the old city but I preferred to take a taxi (which costs around 8 euro) because the walk is only on the beachside which might be a bit hazardous at night. I highly recommend this resort for couples and families.

Fantastic stay!

Stayed at this hotel for 10 nights. All the staff were efficient and attentive to all our needs. Our room and all areas of the hotel were exceptionally clean and maintatined to a very high standard. All fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard too. The restaurant food was amazing with a wide range of breakfast options. Dinner options were also very tasty and no more expensive than surrounding restaurants around. All the restaurant staff were incredibly kind and helpful - thank you. Our room overlooked the venetian harbour so the location for us was perfect. We would highly recommend this hotel to others and will look forward to going back there in the future for another stay.

Casa Delfino Hotel & Spa

Casa Delfino is a boutique hotel, housed in a 17th century Venetian mansion which used to be the private home of the family Delfino. Remaining in the same family for six generations now, hospitality and authentic charm are an important part of our heritage. Paying homage to the history of the building, all the areas have been sensitively restored to its original splendor. The appearance of this historic structure transports guests to a rare place of refined elegance, where impeccable service, distinctive style and uncommon luxuries rule the day. With just 24 guestrooms and suites, decorated with a mix of modern and classical décor and furnishings; each room has its own individual character and style. All rooms seamlessly weave architectural heritage with contemporary design. From tailor-made itineraries to unexpected treats at turndown, we love to spoil our guests. Casa Delfino’s pebbled courtyard is a romantic oasis where guests can read, relax, or simply soak up the serene ambience. But step outside this enchanted setting and you can stroll to all the main attractions, museums, restaurants, chic shops, and lively bars. The hotel is located in the heart of the walled Old Venetian Town – yet a world apart. Simplicity, tranquility and time. These elements are so often missing in our frenetic modern lives. Wouldn’t a little luxurious down-time at the Spa be sheer perfection? Pampering and sheer indulgence…every moment of it catered to your every need. And when the sun goes down enjoy a drink at the spectacular roof terrace. With its sensational views over the harbor and the sea, there’s no better place to be at sunset.

Classy boutique hotel.

Superb quality boutique classy hotel. The hotel met all our expectations in terms of internal fit out. We stayed for four nights 31st May - 4th June. 2022. You get what you pay for - best in class. All the staff were friendly, polite and profession. If the hotel falls within your price range - make a booking.

Excellent Location

Reviewed By lydia6617

The hotel is really well located, close to lots of shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is pleasant, unfortunately our 'garden view' room looked out to the side over the road at the front of the hotel so wasn't quiet as such, hence we couldn't sleep with the patio doors open to let some air in. Other rooms though would have a better outlook and be quieter. Rooms are adequate but not luxurious, we had 2 single beds pushed up to each other with separate duvets for our 'double' room! The shower was an 'over bath shower' which was lovely and powerful but the shower screen was not sealed in at the sides and bottom so water spilled over onto the bathroom floor in a big, dangerous puddle. Breakfast was good with a big selection of hot and cold food and plenty to choose from. Served from 7 til 10.30 so no need to rush in the mornings. Their own restaurant has a lovely setting overlooking the beach, the food is good but not outstanding and a little expensive for what it is. You have the pool, pool bar, restaurant and beach all in the same area so you can still sit on the beach but swim in the pool and vice versa. The beds around the pool are lovely and soft but the beach beds are hard with thin mattresses. Pool / beach towels are provided so no need to bring your own. All the staff were great, very friendly and helpful, especially the staff at the pool bar, Antonis, Andreas and Spiro. We had an afternoon flight returning and had to check out by 11.00, whilst we had a room to leave our luggage in, the hotel do not allow you to use the showers in the spa area if you want to swim or use the pool during the day. The only option is to use the 'rinse' shower on the beach or pay for a late checkout if it's available. Over all a good stay here but there is certainly room for improvement if they want to live up to their website description.

Somewhere special

Reviewed By I36JKjulies

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We stayed for 4 nights in early June. Our holiday had been postponed for 2 years and we were able to pay using the voucher issued by the hotel following the travel disruption caused by the pandemic. Over this time we corresponded by email with Eva, who handled the situation with great understanding and professionalism. She was extremely helpful and always responded promptly to any queries we had. All of the staff at the hotel, including Aliki and the breakfast waitress, were friendly and delightful. Eva arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport - I’m so glad we did as we were delayed 4 hours and it was a relief to have someone waiting for us at midnight. We had checked in online beforehand but there were still staff waiting to welcome us at 12.30 at night who showed us to our room and took up our bags. The hotel is in a stunning location. The breakfast was delicious and always served with a smile. We just loved sitting outside on the terrace and watching the world go by. We visited restaurants on the hotel’s recommended list. The staff made reservations for us when we asked. They did everything to make our stay perfect. Chania is beautiful and if you’re planning a visit then look no further than the Alcanea.

Loved this hotel. Location was great as you have room to park a rental car for daily sightseeing outside the city and a shuttle that will take you downtown. Staff was friendly especially Nickolaos at the front desk, shuttle driver Yiannis (?) and the lovely lady who was checking room numbers at breakfast. They all went above and beyond to make sure our daughter had a lovely time. Restaurant view and food was superb. My only issue was the pool needed a good cleaning. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Blissful May time getaway

Reviewed By sarahmZ3310HS

We stayed here for 9 nights from mid-late May 2022 for a last minute holiday. This place did not disappoint! The entire complex is exceptionally clean all of the time. Staff are very attentive, friendly, and happy to help in any way. Pool side is very chilled with good cocktails available to purchase. Location is fab, a stones throw from the beach. A few minutes stroll to take the bus into Chania. You could also walk: takes around 40 mins. Plenty of tavernas and supermarkets within walking distance. Breakfast was delicious, enough variety to have something different each day if you wanted. There is free parking available near hotel if you rent a car. Rooms are quite minimalistic (in a good way - very chill). We slept really well. The only feedback i have is to install some hooks on the back of the room door and bathroom door for towels, jackets etc. Our room fridge stopped working and was fixed immediately! Superb service. We will definately tely be back and have been recommending this place to family and friends. Thanks for a great stay
