Guest Reviews
- Lindsay (10/5): - This was an amazing experience at such a lovely spot overlooking the harbor and lighthouse. We stayed in the Family Suite above Lithos restaurant. The extra cost even though we only needed one room/one bed was very well worth it. It was a bit difficult to find as we had to check in at Domus Renier property (their sister boutique hotel). This is entered through Zepos restaurant which is on the harbor. This part was not communicated to us so we had to call from the number given to us for Domus Renier an their concierge team helped us. If we knew to look for Zepos and find the glass door entry in the back of the restaurant, it would have made the check in more smooth as we walked the old town with our bags for quite some time looking for the Domus Renier property. The suite is lovely, well appointed with coffee and water, and beautiful showers, all amenities. We enjoyed having a drink and dinner in on the balcony the first night and just enjoying the ambience of the incredible harbor and all the late night activities. The noise down below was not heard once the windows were shut, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We would definitely rent this suite again! The staff at Domus Renier were also amazing and so helpful with where to eat and how to tour the old town. Parking a car is definitely tough in this popular area, so expect to drive around for some time....
- Julia (10/5): Beautiful place! - Exceptional view and place! Highly recomended for all travelers who would like to be in the heart of charming town Chania!
- Todd (10/5): - Great spot and excellent room. Highly recommend.
- joni (10/5): - This was our favourite hotel on our European trip. Quirky and fun that the entrance is right in the middle of a restaurant, so you definitely have to follow directions to find it. The room is absolutely gorgeous and spacious. Balcony opens right onto the harbour for the most incredible view. We shared the room with our two teen daughters and we had loads of space with two large bathrooms and bedrooms. Beautifully designed, clean and quiet. Highly recommend this hotel.
- Alaa (10/5): - Everything was great, Lithos restaurant's staff were very helpful and nice, thank you for everything, it was a great experience, the property was very clean. Lithos restaurant had different food varieties and very delicious.
- Michael (10/5): - Overall an excellent stay with clear and easy communication from the owners prior to arrival. Great restaurant onsite and excellent views of the harbor. A perfect spot to enjoy Chania.
- Marie (10/5): - Our stay in Chania at Dumas was exceptional. The rule was comfortable and clean.
- Clair (10/5): - A beautiful room in a stunning location.Easy to follow check in instructions.
- Donald L (10/5): - We spent three nights here as part of a longer trip. The Domus Fresco was a perfect home base to explore Chania and surrounding areas (don’t miss Samaria Gorge!). Morning coffee on the deck, watching the town wake up was my favorite! My husband loved the rain shower.
- David (10/5): - One of the best lodging options in Chania. The room was fantastic and you can't beat the views. The restaurant staff downstairs (independent from the hotel) was also very friendly and checked in on us as we came and went.
- George (10/5): - Easy access, clean cozy and Beautiful views.
- Dawn (10/5): - Second time of staying at this hotel and it doesn't disappoint. Great location, right on the harbour with the stunning views of the lighthouse. The 'white room' is lovely, although we think we prefer the other bedroom which also has the sea view and balcony (it is slightly more expensive though!). No complaints about anything - very happy stay. A great little hotel.
- clark (10/5): - Excellent location and spectacular views from our room!! Responsive staff.
- Kimberly (10/5): - Elegant room overlooking the harbour in downtown Chania.
Large, comfortable bed, great shower, large fluffy towels and responsive staff.
Highly recommended!
- Karla (10/5): Crete - The rooms were spacious, comfortable and historically decorated. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Wish we could have stayed longer.
- Julie (10/5): - We stayed in the White room, which was simple and gorgeous, we had a super king size bed and fresh white sheets. Towels and sheets were changed regularly and the complimentary toiletries were very good quality products.
On arrival there was a complimentary bottle of wine and sweets to share.
The room had a kettle, coffee machine and fridge, air conditioning and a safe with wonderful views from the balcony.
The shower was a huge walk in type with copious amounts of hot water.
Chania inn is a fantastic place to stay when visiting Crete, the entrance is via Lithos Resturant, where the staff and food are also amazing.
We loved every bit of our stay and will be going back
- Annette (10/5): - We loved our stay at Chania Inn. The room was beautiful with a magic view. We loved sitting on our balcony in the afternoon for a drink and watching the world go by. It can be noisy throughout the night with so many tourists but as soon as you close the door you don’t hear too much. Location was great walking distance to a lot in the area
- Brian (10/5): - Can’t say enough good about this place!! One of the neatest places we have ever stayed!!! SO MUCH CHARACTER!!! Would definitely stay here again!!
- Antony (8/5): - Great location and very clean and comfortable. Only small issue is it can get a bit noisy being so close to the bars and restaurants. The windows have great sound proofing so would only affect the lightest of sleepers. Great stay
- Panagiota (10/5): - Amazing view from the room, best views of the old port
- Anna (10/5): - Parking was a bit of a walk (due to the location on the harbor it was not possible to park next to the hotel), but the beauty of the room, amazing view, and friendly staff more than made up for the walk.
- Andrew (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic accommodation. Clean, comfy and the location was perfect. The view from the balcony will live fondly with me for a very long time. Fantastic holiday and a truly beautiful place.
- YOKICHI (10/5): - We arrived in Chania was very bad weather, windy and raining it was unlucky day. However inside room was very comfortable, clean and best view from the window more than expected.
Highly recommended.
- Daniel (10/5): - Incredibly beautiful, well located and clean !
- KELLY (10/5): Off season - We were there in the off season and it was absolutely. Ramona, at the front desk was very helpful.
- Alena (10/5): - Einzigartige Unterkunft mit tollem Charme, super Sauber und perfekt um Chania ohne Auto zu erkunden.
Alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen und man auf dem Balkon die tolle Atmosphäre genießen.
Wir waren sehr begeistert und haben uns wohl gefühlt.
- Shaukat (10/5): - We called the hotel about 30 minutes before we were going to reach there. Even though the check-in time was 3:00 p.m., they had our room ready before 1:00 p.m.
View from the hotel balcony was priceless.
After check-out at 11:00 a.m., the hotel accommodated us by storing our luggage until we were ready to pick it up around 4:00 p.m.
- Jason (10/5): - Excellent location. Had a great visit and very happy with our stay here and location. Was at the center of everything. Staff very helpful with reserving our excursions and transportation to the airport when checking out. Would definitely stay here again.
- Mark (10/5): - If you are looking for a unique experience just stop here and make a reservation, you will not be disappointed!! The rooms are well appointed, clean, and we had a great view of the entire harbor and lighthouse. The staff were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. It is in the harbor with shops and restaurants right at your doorstep. The only caution is that you must walk to the hotel, but it is a flat walk along the harbor and not very far and it is worth it!!
- Rafael (10/5): - Very unique property. Waterfront and very roomy.
- Robert (10/5): - This place was too perfect. Well priced, located right on the water with a patio over looking the harbor, super comfortable room and just so nice. I loved my stay here and highly recommend.
- Christopher (10/5): Return trip - A return trip to lovely Chania and the Old Town. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only issue was very poor Wi-Fi and therefore little TV (news)
- Heikki (8/5): - Mukava tilava huone, vaikkakin ravintolan yläpuolella. Äänieristys kuitenkin hyvä. Huonoa oli äänekäs ilmastointi sekä parvekkeella jyrisevä ravintolan(?) jäähdytyslaitteisto, joka haittasi parvekkeen käyttöä.
- David (10/5): - Amazing value , great location amazing view
- James (10/5): - Oceanfront room above the restaurant with a balcony - wow was this an amazing view of the lighthouse and waterfront - truly spectacular, and the room itself was extremely clean, modern and comfortable, yet with character. One of the nicest rooms we’ve ever stayed at. Very friendly staff.
- Jillian (10/5): - An absolute gem located in the heart of Chania with a spectacular view of the harbour. The staff were super helpful during our stay.
- george (10/5): - Wonderful location, wonderful staff, clean, with an amazing view!
- Patricia (10/5): - Great experience. The staff was amazingly I would highly recommend to visit Chania and stay at this unique property.
- Ernst (10/5): - Sehr schönes und komfortables Zimmer in Weiss gehalten mit Sicht auf die lebendige Hafenmole. Super freundliches Personal des sehr guten Restaurant Lithos im Parterre. Gerne wieder!
- Kieran (10/5): - Beautiful room in a perfect area for doing everything. The view cannot be beat. Room is well equipped and comfortable. So glad I found this property.
- MARIA (10/5): - Ονειρική τοποθεσία, εξαιρετικά καθαρό το δωμάτιο.
- Victor (10/5): - Excellent property at excellent location
- Jenna (10/5): - The place was absolutely beautiful!!!!! So unique… the only downside is that it was more like a Airbnb where you rent a room. No food service/ had to walk if you wanted to have food. It was super close to restaurants
Not super great on the off season since you had to go out for food… everything else was awesome great bed, big room awesome view super close to everything…
- Fram (10/5): - Lovely hotel with friendly staff who really help you feel at home. Thank you Fotas and everyone else who make it all happen!
- Christopher (10/5): Stunning Chania - Amazing location and decor. Totally lovely spot on the harbour. Be warned you do have to walk with your bags but that’s true for all hotels in the Old Town.
- Lisa (10/5): - The hotel and room was very nice! Fotis was very helpful and accommodating! Nick at the Lithos Restaurant was fantastic, even on a super busy Friday night!
- HAGIT (10/5): - Beautiful place the rooms are big, it is great location near many restaurants in the harbor & the view is amazing.
The only thing is a problem is the parking. There is no parking. You need to find in the street which is not easy at all.
- Andreas (10/5): Worth visiting Chania only for enjoying this hotel - Very nice and worth visiting place. Fantastic location but not suitable for driving there with private car. Parking situated in an area not protected from extreme heat.
- Naomi (10/5): Great stay - Very beautiful hotel, had a lovely stay and the staff was very sweet.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great View, parking is difficult,overall good location and room
- Lori (10/5): - Amazing view
- DD (10/5): - Really loved this hotel. Wonderful location which can’t be beaten. Room overlooks the Beautiful harbour. We had the family room which was very large, Very spacious, Modern, beautifully appointed, with two bathrooms, nice toiletries, good air-conditioning. Absolutely highly recommended. Only minor niggle was a rubbish hairdryer and not enough hooks in the room! Also be warned the steps leading to the room are quite steep. Entrance is through a restaurant on the harbour, but we heard no noise at night when the doors and windows were closed. The rooms were absolutely spotlessly clean and the staff were charming and helpful. We’ve stayed in many hotels in Chania and this must be the nicest and the best and a well kept secret!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wow - Amazin Hotel, amazing location and amazing view!!
- Helen (10/5): First Class - Wonderful views of the Old Harbour. Top quality, would definitely go again
- Dragan (10/5): Perfect stay - Perfect
- Marilena (10/5): Perfect suite with Amazing views of the old port!! - The location could not be more perfect! The host could not be more genuine and friendly! Its right on the port. The room was amazing, very clean, spacious, gorgeous. The view, amazing! We didnt want to leave the room to explore the area! I would go back if Im in chania, without a doubt!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - loved the location and our room facing the old venetian harbour was gorgeous...exactly like the pictures...
- Ioulia (10/5): - Very pleasant stay. Unique style of room.
Perfect view just in front of the sea in the old harbor.
Not accessible by car (only some days, hours is permitted) so the guest have to walk 5 minutes. The reception is in the affiliate hotel (Domus Renier) 5 min walk. Evangelia welcomed us heart fully. Rooms all in the first floor, no elevator, 14 or 17 steps to climb. The entrance is in the middle of the outdoor part of a restaurant. If those are not unconvincing for you, then you will be rewarded by the ambient room with the mix and mach stylish decoration. If you are looking for a spacious room with character this is it.
Amenities include mini fridge with complimentary bottle of water, wide screen tv and espresso coffee machine. Spotless clean room and bathroom , walk -in shower, quality amenities (shampoo etc), slippers. Small balcony with chairs and table. Noisy outside but sound proof windows permitting calmness. Restaurants (touristic) and coffee shops just outside the building. A hamam is situated next corner.
- Carol (10/5): - Awesome view And great service. Very nice place to stay.
- Mark (8/5): Great stay. - Great position on harbour front with huge selection of places to eat and drink on the door step. Very tastefully decorated room, if there’s anything to criticise, could do with some drawers for storage. Very friendly owner/staff. Very characterful old town streets behind harbour front. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Chania.
- Mick (10/5): - Great location. Great staff. Veiw of the old port is the best in chania as its located on the port. Will return and use this room again. Double view room is good for a couple . Nice layout and very clean.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best hotel room EVER - This was honestly the best hotel room I have ever visited in all my travels. The location is the best you could ask for. It's right on the water, in the middle of everything (windows are very sound proof) and very picturesque. It was a beautiful, relaxing setting for my morning coffee and evening wine. The interior design of the room was unique and beautiful. The beds are so comfortable and the front desk is very accommodating and sweet. My only regret and that I didn't book for longer. I wish I could have stayed 3+ nights. Thank you for providing us with a highlight of our trip
