Nireas Hotel

"First of all it’s April. We’ve had some lovely days but also a few cloudy and cold ones. But as I said it’s April. The pool has been chilly Chania is just a few miles away (Doratso is really just a suburb of Chania) and only 10 mins on the bus. It’s an amazing town. Full of history and lovely people. The harbour area is beautiful and it’s backed up by small streets that are easy to navigate and a great place to lose some hours. The hotel itself is really good. The rooms are modern and comfortable. The beds are snuggly and for self catering in Greece (and I’ve done a few) it’s pretty good! Loads of local shops nearby. A few decent tavernas but get into Chania where the choice is x100…. The local beaches (only a few mins walk away) are stunning. The Greeks all come to them so that should tell you everything. The only thing I would say is that it can be very busy! You’re just off a main road. Industrial car sales and very large supermarkets. (so food shopping is easy) For me that’s the only reason I wouldn’t come back. I’d love to see it in August or July…Apart from that I can’t fault it and if you’re coming to Crete then Chania is a must! And the apartments are top drawer including the all the staff which are lovely."

Okeanis Golden Resort

"Lovely apartments, that are very well maintained and within very easy walking distance to at least four beaches. Plus the best cocktails, and cocktail maker (Angela), with a daily happy hour (4-6pm) to start your evening!"

Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection

"Beautiful location, beautiful hotel and everyone is very welcoming and helpful. Travelling on my own I felt extremely comfortable and really appreciated the small details like additional locks on the door and ways of ensuring I was not disturbed. Would stay again in a heartbeat and plan to come back."

Althea Village - Family Hotel

"I came to Althea Village Hotel on 14th October - 21st October, and the stay was perfect cannot fault it at all! Staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The weather was perfect apart from 1 day but was my last day so did not matter really. Beach is a 10 min walk - Iguana Beach, lovely beach and sea is beautiful to swim in spent alot of the day in the sea. Caught taxi from the hotel (arranged by the hotel) to Chania old town which was lovely. If needed, there are two supermarkets nearby Synka and Lidl which were handed as I needed essentials once or twice. Overall a really relaxed and nice stay, would definitely come back!"

Hotel Stellina Village

"We had a Nice and relaxing stay at Stellina Village Hotel for Two weeks in the middle of July. The first week was great. Our apartment was quite new, comfortable and nice, and we also had a private pool that we enjoyed in the evenings. The food was very good with a big variety of dishes and we really enjoyed the pool area and all the areas of the hotel, except from the playroom that we were looking forward to enjoying with our 2,5 year old daughter. The playroom was very hot and had a lot of mosquitos so it was almost impossible to stay there at daytime. And it closed at 17 o clock so in the evening it was not accessible. The hotel is in general very nice and comfortable. The rooms are great and so is the sweet ladies who clean them. It is a great hotel for families who want to relax and enjoy some quiet time close to Chania. We took the bus several times to the city center and it worked great. You can buy tickets at the reception desk. The second week was not that good though. There was an electricity shut down on our 5th day at the resort and the air condition in the restaurant was damaged. I had read about shut downs from earlier reviews but I expected that this would be fixed by now since it was not a general problem in the area, but just in the hotel. The air conditioning didn’t work at the restaurant for the rest of the stay (9 days) witch made it almost impossible to eat the three meals we had payed for in the all inclusive package that we bought. We were not allowed to take food to the room, so we started skipping meals since it was unbearable to be in the restaurant especially for lunch. This ended in extra costs for us since we instead bought food in the a la carte restaurant. The hotel compensated us with a small amount (around 2% of what we payed for the last 9 days), but this did not in our eyes compensate for the amount of meals we skipped or for the damage made on the whole experience! I would like to award the employees in the buffet restaurant for the fantastic service they gave us which is the main reason that we still give the hotel such good rating! Stelios, Iro, Anna, Adonis, Maria, Mixalis and the rest of their team were working under hard conditions in up to 37 degrees, but we’re still so caring, sweet, funny, service minded and kind! We have no words to express how good an impression they made on us! We will really miss the whole team a lot and thank them for making this a very nice stay even though the conditions where not good! I really hope the hotel management take this problem seriously so that no more guests have to eat under these conditions! If this hadn’t happened we would have given the hotel our best recommendations since the first week when everything worked greatly was fantastic!"

Athina Beach Hotel

"“An excellent hotel that exceeded our expectations on all levels! At Athina Beach Hotel we found a small paradise of relaxation for our family. The three guys at the reception (Yiannis, Christina and Nikos) were incredibly friendly, smiling and willing to help us with anything we needed. Mrs. Argyro, the cook, enchanted us with the incredible handmade things she made with a lot of love – in fact, on the last day she asked us what we liked so she could prepare it for us! Also, the cleaning ladies, Georgia and Maria, made sure the room was spotless, changing towels and sheets every day. We had a wonderful time with our child and we highly recommend it to every family. We will definitely be back!”"

Golden Bay

"Very nice place with perfect location at the first line from the sandy beach surrounded by pine tree park. There is a lot of nice restaurants around. Hotel is well maintained, including green territory and a swimming pool. Our room was spacious, with two balconies and a sea view, with a kitchenette, which by our opinion could be completed with a microwave. The hotel management deserves a separate gratitude- especially Voula and her team, who took very good care of us troughout our stay in the hotel. Thanks to such highly professional, smart and cheerful staff our stay in Crete was particularly pleasant and unforgettable."

Talos Hotel Apartments

"Talos is family run. They have two or three dozen rooms and restaurant onsite like many other hotels in the area. I came during shoulder season and the included breakfast was ordering off a menu like dim sum type operation where you write the number of each item you want. Sound insulation is okay but you may hear the diners depending on your room location. It's very close to the beaches and a running park is right in front of the hotel. Owner couple has a funny and quirky sense of humor. The patio with drying rack is appreciated as this is a beach hotel. It was mostly clean though could have been slightly cleaner - I'd give it a 8/10 on cleanliness. Great value for the money."

Elma's Dream Apartments & Villas

"Charming, family-run accommodation with a nice pool, and an incredibly friendly and helpful host in Andreas. Very close to a lovely beach (you can borrow parasols, beach chairs), quiet at night, and on a bus route which can take you east into Chania town, or west to visit other beaches."
