"Wonderful hotel sitting on the port in Chania old town."

10.0

This was our first time in Crete, made even more enjoyable by staying at the Cretan Renaissance. The location - sitting above the Chania harbour; the staff - always so helpful & pleasant; the room - good sized (we chose the one with the balcony) and everything about Chania was great. Some good restaurants away from the tourist hot spots; the beach is about 15 minute stroll and the shopping (jewellery & leather goods in particular) is very good. Favourite jewellery stores were Midas, Armand and Mitos. Semiramis was our go-to restaurant, but the Cretan Renaissance restaurant - Arismari (where breakfast is served for guests) was also very good. Happy to recommend Cretan Renaissance and we’d happily return for 3-5 days.

We selected the front room with balcony, which sits above Arismari restaurant. Like most of the restaurants around the port they are open late most days and on a Friday-Saturday into the early morning. There is sound penetration into the hotel room, so if you’re a light sleeper (which we’re not) just be aware there’s a slight trade off for the view. Small flight if stairs up to the room also, so if you have mobility issues be aware.

10.0

A wonderful and small hotel located by the harbour with amazing view from our room. This hotel is beautifully decorated in romantic homely style. The owner himself works there among other staff and all of them were so friendly and kind. The restaurant in the front of the hotel serve amazing food with excellent service.

Nothing to dislike.

"Absolutely perfect for us!"

10.0

Perfect spot on the harbour and above their classy restaurant Arismari, we had the balcony room which was perfect in the evenings, with a beautiful view from inside and outside. Beautiful breakfasts, friendly staff and owners, we loved our 6 nights in Chania with the old town alleys, boutique shops and restaurants all around, but also very quiet at night. Restaurant played the most beautiful relaxing soft music in the evenings to make the vibe even more special!
