Guest Reviews
- Sorial (9/5): Wonderful villa with fabulous location - Lovely villa with a wonderful view across the harbour.
Our host was fantastic.
The bathroom and shower were quite small - but not unexpected in an old property.
There are 42 stairs up to the villa but they are manageable and our host helped us carry our luggage up and down the stairs.
Breakfast is in the neighbouring hotel and is excellent.
There is no washing machine but the hotel offers a laundry service that is reasonably priced and the clothes are returned the same day.
- Roman (10/5): -
- Kieran (10/5): Absolutely wonderful - Location was amazing, the apartment was gorgeous. And the service, advice and friendliness from Sotiris was a treasure!!
- Rathan (10/5): Right in the heart of Old Town with great views - We had a really lovely stay at Erietta Suites. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Old Town, and the view from the apartment is breathtaking, overlooking the harbor and lighthouse, it’s truly a prime spot.
The host was very friendly and helpful, always ready with great recommendations and flexible with anything we needed, which made our stay very smooth and comfortable.
Overall, a great place to stay in Chania, and we would definitely recommend it! Nothing to dislike, everything was great.
- Juliana (9/5): Lovely - The views were amazing 🤩
Erietta is a great host 🌟 Just need to plan 15-20 minutes in advance the hot water.
- Evelina (9/5): -
- Scott (10/5): It was perfect from start to finish - Perfect location and Sotiris was very communicative and a perfect host.
- Katherine (9/5): Central location, amazing views of the port and extremely attentive, welcoming and friendly staff made this stay excepti - Absolutely a wonderful stay. The central location was fabulous and the view of the harbor was stunning. But the service and the attentiveness of our host made the stay exceptional. From arranging and rearranging airport transportation (even with flight issues), car rental, recommendations for things to do and places to eat….the experience was unmatched and felt like we were in a high quality hotel. One thing to keep in mind is that the room with a balcony is right over a restaurant that plays loud music until about midnight. But this is not the fault of Erietta Suites.
- Tina (10/5): -
- Christiaan (8/5): - Goede locatie, vriendelijke ontvangst, goede aanbevelingen voor eten en drinken De kleine slaapkamer op de loft is een beetje rumoerig
- Alexis (9/5): Fantastic! We can’t wait to be back, just pack headphones for night. - This view is everything. Exceptional spot tucked into old Chania town, clean, good management, we loved our stay! Waterfront bars could get very loud at night into the morning.
- Christopher (10/5): Perfect place to start a trip to Crete - First of all, Satiris met us on arrival (in the evening!), and gave us all kinds of good advice, and thereafter he was always responsive to questions via text when we needed ideas, which led us to some amazing places during our stay. On long trips, I've learned to stay longer in the first place, to acclimate and get over jetlag. So staying in the old part of Chania where we could walk around seemed like a good plan. We did end up going on some long drives to interior mountains and the northwestern coast, but Satiris had helpful tips about those other places as well. The room in the antique building was worth the 42 steps up (which sound like more than it is), as we stayed in the very charming unit with a loft bedroom and a balcony overlooking the old Venetian harbor (which we never got sick of looking at). One important aspect of this place being a good choice for us was that we arrived in the off-season (November), so while the air there was still unseasonably medium-warm, the scene there was chill, without the summer-season crush of tourists (which I suspect can make the harbor area crowded and noisy). I would not choose to stay at in the harbor area during the high season (I would probaby run to the mountains somewhere), but that's no dig at Arietta, which is perfect.
- Kai (10/5): - Avar ja ruumikas korter Chania vanalinnas otse sadama ääres. Imelise vaatega väike rõdu. Sõbralik võõrustaja, kelle käest sai soovitusi, mida külastada ja vaadata Chanias. Järgmisel korral Chanias valime kindlasti sama öömaja.
- Anthony (9/5): Comfort in old Chania town. - Location was in the heart of Old Chania town Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Very comfortable. There were a few stairs to negotiate. Staff made us aware of this before the fully refundable cancellation date.
- Domingo (10/5): - La ubicación perfecta, con vistas al faro de Chania. En el centro antiguo de la ciudad. De mucha ayuda los consejos de Sotiris en todas las actividades q nos comentó, desde el día del mercado hasta la musica en vivo en la parte antigua de la cuidad. Muchas gracias, Sotiris
- Zaback (10/5): outstanding - amazing location and view
- Idan (10/5): Beautiful place in the best location! - Extremely Beautiful and l spacious place, in the best location of old town, a wonderful experience! and the host was super helpful and kind.
- María (10/5): -
- Kenneth (10/5): Perfect location, perfect host, perfect space in beautiful Chania. - The location of this property was amazing. Right in the heart of the Old Harbor, you can be anywhere in minutes. The place was comfortable and had soul, you could feel the history of the property. Our host was always a message away, and gave us many recommendations that were fantastic. He was knowledgeable and available. The space was exactly as advertised, but the pictures of the view can’t quite capture the majesty of the location. This was a phenomenal place to stay. We did not mind the stairs and knew about them before booking, but someone with infirmity may not be able to take the stairs.
- Peter (10/5): Highly recommend and will return - The location of this apartment was absolutely perfect, being right in the centre of the old port of Chania. The views from the room were breathtaking, and our host Sotos went out of his way to make us feel at home.
- Anneke (9/5): We had a great time in Chania and will definitely visit again - Location, service, rooms, views, everything was very good
- Peter (8/5): -
- Zamir (9/5): -
- Harel (9/5): חוויה מקסימה - סוטיריס המארח דאג לכל בקשותינו, המליץ לנו על מקומות מיוחדים ומסעדות. בהחלט נתן לנו הרגשה בייתית וחמימה..
החדר נמצא במיקום מצויין בנמל העתיק וקרוב לכל דבר ובמרחק הליכה..
בנוסף, גם המסעדה גאליני שמתחת לחדר עם השף עמנואל ממש פינקו אותנו ודאגו שנרגיש הכי בבית שאפשר!!
אוהבים אתכם סוטיריס, עמנואל ויוון המדהימה!
מומלץ מאוד טיפה יקר החדר אבל לחופשה מושלמת היכן שהיינו, לא הייתי בוחר אחרת!
- mauri (10/5): Place to be - Posizione spettacolare
- Yair (9/5): -
- Julien (9/5): Super - L emplacement, la literie, la kitchenette, la clim, le charme. Dans la decsritipion de la chambre c est noté que ce sont deux canapé lits. Or en fait c est plutôt un canapé qui se se transforme en deux canapés lits que l on ne peut séparer. Ce qui revient un peu à un lit deux places… . Or quand on a deux ados fille-garçon c est parfois difficile de les faire dormir côte à côte.
- Ekaterina (10/5): -
- Alla (10/5): - Very nice, helpful, and responsive host. Lot’s of steps on the stairs, and sometimes noisy outside at night.
- Paul (10/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - We had a fantastic stay at Erietta Suites during our 7-day stay as a family of four. The suite was perfect-comfortable, well equipped, and ideal for our needs. Its location right on the harbor couldn't be better; we especially enjoyed starting each morning with a pot of coffee while taking in the beautiful views.
Our host, Sotiris, was outstanding-very responsive and always kept us informed about local events and things to do around town. We highly recommend Erietta Suites for anyone visiting Chania!
- Jolan (10/5): Exceptional - Great place, wonderful host. From all places in Chania this place is best choice for super views and very friendly staff. I return to Erietta when I'd go to Krete again. .
- Umit (9/5): Superb -
- Jeff (10/5): We'll stay there next time. - Very convenient location. Innkeeper extremely friendly and helpful. Love the restaurant just below. Great balcony and lots of space.
- Alison (8/5): Very relaxing - Location, small balcony, great view over water and Chania town. close to shops and restaurants.
- Chad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Asmin (10/5): Room with the port view - Location and view from balcony.
Property manager was very helpful.
- Gary (8/5): Very good -
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Unbeatable location, great host
- Caroline (8/5): Apartment with real character - The welcome was amazing and the view is as good as the photos - lots of space - small kitchenette but everything you need. The apartment has soul. Unfortunately our last night was spoilt by very loud music until nearly 2am from one of the bars below. We were fine with the previous night's and in this location we expected some.noise (windows in the apartment work well) but suggest guest bring earplugs just in case
- Malcolm (10/5): Great old town location with free or paid parking close by - So walkable None
- Susan (10/5): This place was the perfect location for stay in Chania… near everything! - Fabulous location and very sweet apartment.
- Stuart (10/5): Great property to soak up the vibe & atmosphere of the old-town. - Excellent property. Very clean & comfortable. Very nice to be welcomed by the owner / manager with some helpful tips. Loved being right in the middle of the old-town with view of the port. Nothing.
- Paulina (9/5): Short vacation. Mother and two daughters trip. - Spectacular view from the room window, very nice and very helpful host. A wonderful room with a separate bedroom, a clean bathroom and a kitchen. Soundproof windows, if you want silence, just close the windows. Great breakfasts served in the building next door. We will definitely come back. Even liked the 42 steps :-)
- Michael (9/5): Superb - Location view
- Lawrence (10/5): Awesome location and great/responsive service! - Great location and excellent staff! I would not recommend drinking too much before returning to suites. Lots of steps!
- Emmanuel (10/5): Right on the Port! - Sotiri was wonderful, helped in every way possible with recommendations.
- Catherine (9/5): Superb -
- Eileen (10/5): Fabulous - It was a great location very clean the only disadvantage was all the steps going up. The stairs up
- Greg (9/5): Superb -
- Jeff (10/5): Great location. - The location was perfect. Host was there to greet us to answer all questions. Nothing
- Hartnell (10/5): Lovely spot in the centre of Chania. Beautiful old building and lovely staff. - Amazing location and lovely staff. Also clean and comfortable. N/a
- Frederik (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Saly (9/5): Superb - The property manager was great, very hospitable and welcoming. The location is perfect, right on the harbor in the middle of it all. It was very clean, left us beach towels which was really nice. There was one bathroom for 2 bedrooms, less than ideal. No hooks for towels which sounds minor but is actually annoying.
- Anastasia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Con (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, beautiful rooms and great hospitality from Sotiris
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Utsav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jean (9/5): Superb -
- Desmond (10/5): Very nice people and a pleasure to stay - View and the owners Zero
- Andre (10/5): Great stay, perfect location, friendly and helpful host. Would stay again - The view No balcony
- Dirk (8/5): Very good place to be 👍🏾 -
- Elsa (10/5): Little Venise gem in Chania Crete - Location was fabulous in the center of everything! We had an amazing romantic balcony, it felt so peaceful! We really loved every second of our stay, our apartment was immaculately clean and well organized.
The owners were very kind, gracious and helpful. Chania is a great city to visit, highly recommended! Nothing, we had to leave
- Gladys (8/5): Wonderful. - The location of the stay was excellent with cafes all around. The manager provided useful and timely assistance. However, the only problem we faced being senior citizens was the climb to the apartment which was very steep.
- Graeme (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rick (10/5): When you see the view you wont want to go out! - This apartment was a real treat - open up the large windows to see the old town and harbor. Get some drinks and nibbles as you wont want to go out!! it is well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. it has double glazing so noise from the street is not a problem.
Antonis the manager could not have been more helpful! From carrying our bags to local advice he was the best! For us - nothing
- Stacia (10/5): Great location for being in the heart of Chania. - Amazing location and Antonio was incredibly responsive and helpful. There were a lot of stairs which was doable but also a lot for my older in-laws. I was also under the impression we would have a balcony and we did not.
- Robert (9/5): Memorable! - Location was excellent. Apartment is well appointed and the staff were helpful and friendly The stairs!
- Maya (6/5): Pleasant - Erietta Suites had a fabulous view from it's living room windows over the harbor. It was very spacious, having a living room area, small kitchenette and small dining area, plus a second bedroom above and open to the living area.
Great for families, 2 couples, etc. It was old world charm, for sure, but clean and somewhat updated. Had I known that it would take 42 winding steps to get from entry door to our room, and that there we would take almost an hour just to find the place (because they have no signs saying Erietta Suites), I would have booked elsewhere. Our mapping kept telling us we had 'arrived', and no signage revealed it. Asked multiple locals. Finally, the person in charge of the Suites called us and we had a meet up. He was gracious enough to come to our car (parking is outside the Old City) and help with our 2 suitcases.
The other complaint was the mini-split unit in our bedroom emitted a high pitched sound that I heard, but my semi deaf husband did not. I ended up sleeping on the living room sofa. All in all, I wanted a room with a view, and that certainly delivered. but the hassle of finding this place along with the stairs and air conditioner whine, was memorable in not the best way. Chania, however, is a most charming city and the streets are just amazing to simply get lost in.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Absolutely beautiful and highly recommend. - Historical and centrally location. Staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and accommodating to our every need. Nothing
- דורון (10/5): Exceptional - Antonis' service is far and beyond any expectations. The water flow is somehow weak
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful 600 yo building, quiet and gorgeous steps from so many wonderful restaurants and shops.. Everything was wonderful.
- Jmattila (10/5): It was wonderful - Very Good
- Marcy (9/5): Superb -
- Jmattila (10/5): We come back suerly and tell our fried obaut this hotel. - It was super. Personal is very kind.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Ion (10/5): Exceptional - The location and view are fantastic.
The room is clean, and a great mix of classic and modern.
Antoni was friendly, accommodating and professional. The stairs are pretty steep, so if you have physical issues with your knees especially, it may be a problem for you.
- Donna (10/5): Exceptional - Location and view
- Effie (10/5): Highly recommend this beautiful building - Perfect location to everything and antonis was exceptional would definitely come back
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional - Location & Antonis was amazing 👏 he helped with our luggage, gave us amazing restaurants to eat & advice where to visit. Our view could not be better!
- Raymond (8/5): Enjoyed the stay - Host is very helpful as is the cleaning lady. Location is very good, direct on the old harbour with great views. Would be ideal for a family of four but less so for a romantic trip for a couple. Be aware that there are over 40 steps to reach the apartment from street level. Furniture was a little “lived in”. Sofa beds instead of sofa in the lounges. Bathroom is very small (just enough room for a shower, toilet and sink)
- Kristina (10/5): Our stay was perfect! - The location and facilities are excellent. The view over the harbor is a delight in the mornings and evenings. The host is very pleasant and always willing to help with information or recommendations for things to do it places to visit. There is not one thing that I would change.
- Sundeshh (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms were luxurious and the views were amazing The noise at night from the partying near by
- Jouni (8/5): Very good -
- Skip (7/5): Good - Everything good to great except the second bed. The primary bedroom was wonderful. The second bed is probably the least comfortable bed I've ever slept on.
- Di (10/5): Great location, clean and new interior, nice people. - Great location at the harbor, everything new and clean, friendly and helpful staff who give a lot of useful information.
- Rebecca (9/5): Superb -
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joe (10/5): Charming place and an outstanding location - Tons of charm. Perfect location (and I really do mean perfect). Spotlessly clean. Beach towels provided! If anything, images undersell the place. Staff are extremely helpful, laidback and friendly, and are more than happy to suggest places to visit both locally and around the island. Minor (for me, at least): quite a few stairs, though only really an inconvenience getting bags up at check-in and departure. Persons of more limited mobility should consider this carefully.
- Elli (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mindaugas (1/5): Bad - Nothing. Total lie in tne net All
- Kreonas (10/5): Would stay there again. - It w
As superb for being in the old city. So close to all amenities and restaurants and bars and the beach at Nea Chori. Stairs the problem as being a heritage building no lifts allowed but same with all the others in old Chania BUT Antonis the manger took all our luggage up and down when we left. He is the hero.
Fantastic place to stay.
- Riina (9/5): Superb - So nice apartment and perfect location
- Donnelly (10/5): Perfect location, with all that you need. - Perfect location and wonderful property.
This is the second year that I’ve stayed here because it suits all of my families needs.
- Deirdre (9/5): Great sized apartment in the heart of the old city with views of the harbour . - We loved the location and the size of the apartment. The staff were very helpful and helped with luggage - this was a life saver as there are a lot of stairs. Not suitable apartment if you have trouble with stairs . N/a
- Laurie (10/5): Wonderful stay in chania! - Everything is great! You should stay here right in old town by the harbor. Walkable to all! Antonis meets you there and carries all your luggage so no worries about steps. He helps you learn about town, where today, what to do, where to park Both we did not like, all fabulous!
- Lara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): Antonis extremely nice and helpful - location, space, service
- Sandra (10/5): THIS IS A MUST!!!! 10 across the board! - Antonis is an incredible host! we had a flight issue and when we finally arrived he made everything easy and treated us so well, high praise for him and his staff. location is fabulous, unit is spacious, beautifully decorated and the balcony overlooking the harbour was amazing. also has a common interior patio that is delightful nothing
