• maurizio (10/5): Chania imperdibile per - Situata su una delle due piazze principali, centrali di Chiana. In pieno centro storico. È sulla via principale che porta al Porto Veneziano a soli 200 metri. Davanti all'ingresso della House trovi una bellissima Chiese che si trova all'interno del cortile ! Meraviglioso. Uscendo in piazza altra grande Chiesa ortodossa. Fermata Bus da e per aeroporto a 500 metri. Viaggio per lavoro e per diletto , praticamente vivo tra hotele e B&B. Questo è sicuramente uno dei miei più belli dove ho alloggiato. 4 notti. Camera doppia bellissima inserito in un contesto classico , ma senza esagerare. Davvero un bel luogo. Letto molto comodo e stanza e bagno con tutto l'occorrente. Frigorifero con inclusa bottiglia d'acqua. Te e Nescafé con bollitore a disposizione. Inoltre c'è una magnifica sala in comune per consumare eventuali pasti propri. Sala dotata di enorme TV. Tutti gli ambienti sono di ottimo gusto.

Dovessi tornare a Chania questo sarebbe di nuovo il mio alloggio. Super Nulla

• Wim (10/5): Aanrader - De hartelijke ontvangst in een prachtig gesitueerd en historisch gebouw, midden in het oude historische centrum. Wij verbleven in een ruime, prettige kamer met een fijne badkamer. De hygiene staat op een hoog peil. De gastvrouw en gastheer zijn in alle opzichten zeer betrokken en behulpzaam. Een echte aanrader dus.
• Takoumakis (10/5): Χαμόγελο φιλοξενία φιλικότητα επαγγελματισμός τοποθεσία 10/10 - Η γλυκύτατη οικοδέσποινα Κατερίνα αποτελεί τον ορισμό της φιλοξενίας, του επαγγελματισμού και της ειλικρινούς και ανθρώπινης συνεργασίας! Με το σύντροφό της έχουν υλοποιήσει ένα σπάνιο project , το οποίο είμαι τυχεροί εμείς που το απολαμβάνουμε...ευχαριστώ για τη συνεργασία...μοναδική εμπειρία! Καλές δουλειές!

• Despoina (10/5): -
• Nikolaos (10/5): - Μια μικρή όαση φιλοξενίας στα Χανιά! Το δωμάτιο πεντακάθαρο και γεμάτο θετική ενέργεια, κάθε λεπτομέρεια δείχνει φροντίδα και γούστο. Η κοπέλα ήταν υπέροχη, ευγενική, χαμογελαστή και πάντα πρόθυμη να βοηθήσει. Νιώσαμε πραγματικά σαν στο σπίτι μας. Θα το επιλέγαμε ξανά χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη!
• Ζαφειριος (10/5): -
• Manfred (9/5): -
• RAFAEL (8/5): MUY BIEN - La ubicación es inmejorable, en la calle principal y a la entrada del puerto veneciano. Tanto la encargada, Katerina, como el personal de limpieza son muy amables y están pendientes de todo. Mi habitación, muy tranquila y amplia. Huele muy bien en todas las zonas comunes Por poner algo, la ducha tenía cortina y el suelo del baño se mojaba bastante a al ducharte.
• Adriana (10/5): - Ubicación excelente. Habitaciones muy amplias. Personal excelente Aparcar en los alrededores es un poco dificil
• Hadas (10/5): - מיקום מעולה בלב העיר העתיקה. מקום אירוח מיוחד. הניקיון, החשיבה על כל הפרטים הקטנים, והצוות הידידותי
• Renata (10/5): - Everything was very clean, the location is perfect, close to the co the city center. We enjoy our stay and definitely say the atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommanded.
• Samantha (9/5): Superb accommodation - really enjoyed my stay in Chania. The accommodation was superb, full of character, very clean, comfortable, and in an ideal location right in the heart of the old town, which made exploring so easy The only small touches I missed were a TV and a full-length mirror in the living room, but overall it was a wonderful place to stay and I’d happily recommend it.
• Lina (9/5): - La limpieza, la ubicación, el lugar es hermoso, amplio y muy cómodo. Con muy buenos servicios. Es espectacular
• georgia (10/5): - Bien situé. Dans la vieille ville. Près des commerces, de la gare routière et du port. Bonne literie. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Hôtesse au top Concernant mon ancien commentaire. Je me suis trompée au sujet des travaux. Cela ne concerne pas cette maison d hôte.
• Catherine (7/5): - La situation et la propreté L’accès l’absence de possibilité de laver son linge et surtout le bruit
• Krzysztof (10/5): -
• Iryna (10/5): -
• Mia (10/5): - Such beautiful accomodation, and lovely hosts Nothing
• THEOFILOS (10/5): -
• BINGEN (9/5): -
• Kathy (9/5): - Sundial was immaculately maintained accomodation. The staff were sociable and friendly- always willing to chat and offer recommendations. The location was amazing The negative for me was that the curtains were thin in our room so in the mornings there was a lot of light. As I am light sensitive when I sleep, it would interrupt my sleep. This is a personal negative- not a reflection of the total experience at Sundial

• arianna (10/5): - The place as a whole is lovely. It's all very clean, the rooms and bathrooms are big, in the room we had both a fan and aircon which made sleep so much easier. But what makes the experience truly excellent is Katerina! I've had plenty of good hosts in the past but she's a special one. Always available and so kind and sweet, thank you so much for your help. The WiFi was not always working great but if you have free EU roaming you probably won't care much
• Isabella (10/5): Simply Magic - La posizione in pieno centro eppure silenziosa, la camera che si affaccia su un cortile alberato, il gusto nella ristrutturazione, la presenza di un’ area comune, la gentilezza e i consigli del personale, la pulizia giornaliera.
• AIKATERINI (9/5): Nice and comfortable room in the heart of the old port. - Spacious and nice room in an old palazzo right next to the Catholic church, and across the city's cathedral, on the way to the Venitian port of Chania. Excellent location, in the heart of the old town, comfortable and well-designed room, very hospitable and helpful hostess. I would definitely recommend it. The room could have a TV
• Andoni (10/5): -
• Angela (8/5): Abbiamo soggiornato in questo bnb in 5, in una stanza per 6 persone che dispone di un bagno con 3 docce, 3 water e 3 lav - La struttura si trova al centro di Chania Difficoltà nel trovare parcheggio nei dintorni.
• Georgina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrea (10/5): So happy to have found Sundial which could accommodate our large group. - Love that the property was tucked away from the main street, but so close to all excitement. It was very convenient. Also loved that our party of 6 could all stay in one room (which has 3 bathrooms). Katerina was great in accommodating us with a last minute change and was also so helpful in recommending restaurants. She is so kind!
• David (10/5): Excellent stay. Highly convenient location - Comfortable beds and great decor All good
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - Staying at Sundial Lodge made my visit to Greece! It has a serene and understated elegance and caters to travelers, rather than tourists. The facilities are spotless. Care is taken with every detail in the rooms and dining area. Katerina is engaging, knowledgeable about the area, and goes above and beyond to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. I am almost reluctant to write a review, lest the lodge becomes too popular!
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Katerina was great, super nice and helpful person! The place is just magical. An small court in the city center peaceful and beautiful!!
• Amanda (10/5): A beautiful oasis of peace right in the centre of Chania old town! - Wow!!A beautiful oasis of peace right in the centre of Chania old town! A stunning old building well maintained and so clean. Service was wonderful from the moment of booking, even offering ideas of what to do and see in the locale. When we did arrive what a warm and friendly welcome. Rooms were spotless, comfortable and provided all we needed.
• Michael (8/5): We had a lovely time. - We liked the location, and Katerina was lovely, being friendly and helpful. She even met us where the taxi dropped us off, which was a good thing as we would never have found the property, because it was situated behind other buildings. It was extremely clean and the towels were changed every day. The bus station was easily reached, 10 minutes at the most so we were able to visit other locations using the bus and also return to the airport. We booked this accommodation because it was advertised as being bed and breakfast - however, it was room only. There was a large room where guests could purchase cold drinks and a kettle and coffee maker was available. Perhaps it would be better if a kettle was in each room, as we like to have an early morning cup of tea which meant having to get dressed, leave your bedroom and go to the room were the kettle is.
• William (10/5): Our 4 day stay in Chania was made memorable by the accommodation, its location and the hosts. - Excellent location, the facilities were very good and next to the Catholic Church. The hosts Antonis and Katerina were absolutely brilliant. The cleaner jeanna was very accommodating and had a very lovely smile and always greeted us. We had the quadruple room which was very spacious for us as couple. I think the WiFi could be improved.
• Rob (9/5): Very nice converted nunnery with wonderful host (May 2025) - An amazingly quiet hotel room in the small courtyard of a church. The host lives in the courtyard with her family and was very accessible. I think her name was Katerina and she helped me several times. Thank you Katerina. She also spoke English much better than I did Greek. I had room 3 (I think). It was on the 2nd floor and was newly refurbished. The air conditioner was new and quiet. Everything was modern in an ancient setting - very cool. The room had a large, comfortable king-sized bed, lots of space, a tall standing armoire for hanging clothes, a desk, two wooden chairs, a window that opened to the church courtyard. The window had a solid wooden shutter that blocked most of the noise and light from coming in. The noise would probably never be a problem in this part of the city because the courtyard is closed and locked at night. I could not hear any of the restaurants or nightclubs that were just a block away. This part of town is for pedestrians only, so there are no car horns or truck noises. Lots of cats around town, but few dogs, so I never heard a dog barking or rooster crowing for that matter. There are 3 levels of locks at night, so this area was very safe. There is a lock on the large wooden doors that lead to the church courtyard, then a lock on the door to the Sundial Lodge building, then a lock on my personal room door. I walked through the old town both day and night (sometimes with my family and sometimes alone) and it seemed very safe at all times. I had no problem with my teenaged kids walking the old town pedestrian streets and alleys at night. Bathroom was large, but had one problem - the shower. I have seen similar shower setups in Greece (and you could just see this as part of the charm in other countries), but showers in Greece come in a variety of sizes and frequently don't have a shower door or a shower curtain. In this case, the shower was an adequate size with good water pressure, and a shower curtain. The problem with the design is that there is one portion where the curtain does not block the water from exiting the shower stall and significant amounts of water can spill onto the floor. You can see where this is part of the design, as a drain has been positioned in the middle of the bathroom floor - so they must expect water to cross the floor into the central drain. With no window or ventilation in the bathroom, the floor and floor mat stays wet all day and night. I can see where some people could be annoyed by the wet floor, but I usually don't mind these little quirks found in other cultures and appreciate that every place is not my home. It's part of why I travel - to see different places, people, and cultures.
• Tim (10/5): Good value - Quiet location but near busy spots Did not know that there were shutters to block out the glass window until two days in
• Pam (10/5): A Unique Experience…not to be missed ! - The building was a stunning annex of the church . Accessed by an archway leading into a beautiful courtyard. My room was huge with a super comfy king size bed . It was like stepping back in history . Everything very tastefully created around the original building . I had use of a large dining area ,tea and coffee facilities etc . Katerina and her husband have clearly put their heart into creating a unique retreat in the heart of Chania . This is more than just a couple of nights stop over it’s an experience not to be missed . Nothing
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wood (10/5): A hidden gem in the heart of Chania. - A superb character property, centrally located and close to the harbour and old town, hidden away just off the main shopping street. The staff were very welcoming. Spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation. Access to a dining/breakfast room and lounge. A real find. Would recommend highly.
• Richard (10/5): Fantastic location, spacious room and super owner. - Almost dreamlike, you turn off the busy main walking route to the harbour into a quiet courtyard to find the property. Worth noting that there is a steep flight of stairs as you enter. Those with mobility difficulties might struggle.
• Minna (10/5): Unique haven - Amazing place, unique haven for a couple or solo traveller. Peaceful, serene and comfortable. The room was fantastic, spacious with high ceiling, exposed brickwork. The bed was so comfortable, room decor tasteful too. Could not have asked for more. Made me feel very special indeed. Listening to sunday service through the window was rather emotional experience. One doesn't get these experiences often. Right in the hear of Chania, although quiet at night. Suitable also for larger groups as they have big rooms upstairs too. Exclusive entry via cathedral courtyard, boutique feel without snobbishness or usial high price tag. Very special place indeed. It was all perfect 👌
• Samantha (10/5): Perfectly located hidden gem in old town Chania - Tucked away in a beautiful 18th century courtyard, peaceful and quiet yet just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of the main street to Chanias old harbour town. Most of the rooms were part of the original church buildings but updated (April 24) giving modern facilities but keeping the old world charm, our room was immaculate and the staff were there every day with fresh towels and bedding and always smiling even when putting up with our poor attempts at Greek. The gorgeous host provides the best toiletries and products that will leave you feeling invigorated and ready for the day. It was my birthday during our stay and as a surprise she purchased a divine birthday cake from Sketi Glyka…. I definitely would recommend this patisserie.If you are looking for a delightful place to stay then look no further. Nothing
• Linda (9/5): central & comfortable stay. Would def go back. - super central location but still quiet, very comfy bed, super nice host who will help you in case you need any information. As I was travelling alone they even invited me to have a drink with them during the night.
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, great room, staff were very friendly and helpful
• Gabriela (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about this place was just too perfect. Comfort and cleaness to the maximum(cleaning service for each day) and the location was perfect. Right in front of the Chatolic Church in Chania's Old Town. Waking up and leaving the accommodation just to meet the usual,beautiful crowd of Chania and by walking just 200m you'll be able to enjoy the infamous Lighthouse and the show of lights of it's every evening. Beside all that you'll also meet the kindest staff, full of respect and always there to help. I have only to praise how it had bits of everything and deserved every single cent... I want to thank the owners(Catrina and her husband) for their dedication and wish them all the luck. Recommend Sundial with all my heart!
