The location is perfect for travelling the island as it is located right next to the bus station.

It’s right next to the bus station as well.

The hotel one step from the central bus station and from the old town

Excellent location in the edge of old town and next to bus station.

We had a small balcony that overlooked the bus station, so we didn't use it,

Although it sounds a negative thing to be located near the bus station, it made it so easy to find out travel information & there was no noise from it due to having such good soundproofing.

The location is also really convenient for the old town, the beach and transport links (bus station is next door, 20-30 min bus ride to the airport).

It's next to the bus station so you can get around the island easily and cheaply.

It's a very well-run hotel beside the city bus station (which makes it a great location for anyone intending to travel around Crete by public transport).

Although the hotel is right next door to the bus station (convenient for us as we took a bus from Heraklion to Chania) you would never know it.

The bus station is minutes away so very easy to travel to the local beaches which were about 15 minutes away.

A mere stroll from the city of Xania or the bus station (A popular drop of point) and this little slice of heaven awaits.

A ten minute walk from everything and right next to the bus station (you'd never know it), so no need to hire a car if you want to take any trips anywhere.

It is next door to the bus station and also next to a stop for the Hop On Hop Off bus tour of Chania.

Staying at the samaria was very warm and welcoming the staff were very friendly and helpful The buffet breakfast was excellent plenty of choice and well presented.Even the hotel is located in the town and next to the bus station we found it quiet and slept very well.The pool area is small

It is in easy walking distance to the old city of Chania, and directly adjacent to the KTEL bus station which connects to every interesting destination in western Crete.

The hotel was clean with a good gym, swimming pool and nice buffet breakfast.

The facilities were excellent, comfy room and a wide variety of breakfast choices which were constantly replenished.

Our room was kept very clean and we were provided with tea and coffee making facilities.

We spent a fair bit of time by and in the lovely swimming pool.

For sure the facilities were excellent, and the hotel was well appointed, clean and comfortable.

Just wonderful right from reception stage, with efficient handling of car parking, receiving us with a smile, allocating to us an absolutely clean and well decorated room with all facilities.

Great facilities, great location, efficient and friendly staff, excellent food.

The staff are extremely friendly, the accommodations amazing including room, room service, the spectacular breakfast,  gorgeous pool, bistro and facilities.

The rooms are beautiful and the facilities excellent, just one problem!

The facility staff and amenities are all excellent.

What more do you want?

Staff is very friendly, room well equipped and a very good breakfast.

Excellent hotel, rooms are new and clean, with Gym & pool - staff is very helpful and friendly.

The hotel is located very close to the heart of the old venetian harbor,

Hotel samaria is situated on the center of the town in Chania, just two minutes on foot from the old venetian harbor.

The location is great, within walking distance to the old venetian harbor and the city center.

The staff and service were excellent, the room was comfortable and spacious, the swimming pool was an unexpected delight, and the breakfast was delicious every day!

The best service we’ve ever experienced at a hotel!

We also ate one evening by the pool and had a lovely meal and again great service.

Everything was excellent , nice room,  nice stuff ,  great breakfast , great service and great pool 🎱.

but well located, clean and excellent service!

Service is one of the best I've experienced from the moment you enter the hotel (with free refreshments, shower and change of clothes) continued even after check-out (by staying at the premises, enjoying the pool with suitcases safe).

but what really stands out is the exeptionally good service and friendly attitude of the staff.

Their service is impeccable and the staff is friendly, they actually deserve an extra star!

Extremely comfortable with a high and unobtrusive  level of service.

The attention they provided us, all the services were great, the breakfast is really complete and with a wide variety.

The service and the breakfast by the pool  just excellent! !

but for 10 euros/day the hotel offered valet service.

All the staff provided the best customer service, nothing was ever too much trouble and we annoyed them alot

Excellent service 
Front desk very helpful and dependable
Breakfast was excellent and ladies did their best to make the customer happy
Service in the dining room and by the pool was excellent
Hotel rooms were good and clean and provided  additional and provided  good service
Making taxi arrangements for customers were outstanding by the front dest

Great service, very clean, employees were all gracious,  helpful,  and welcoming.

The staff are wonderful - Super friendly and provide great service.

The room was small with a very uncomfortable bed, the hot breakfast which was included was usually cold and not great.

A few reservations: our (standard) room was very small, almost too small to accommodate two, and storage was very limited.

The rooms are a bit small (15m2) so it is better to book a higher category room if you like spacious rooms.

Admittedly our room was a little small on arrival and I asked to move, the hotel manager (lady) moved heaven and earth and provided us with a bottle of champers and fruit in a new room.

This place is ok ~ it is safe, super small rooms & probably best for the 20 to 30 year old crowd that can hang with all the road chatter, engine noise & gas fumes.

although some days our fresh towels smelled like cigarettes.

The suites are exquisite, and the prices do not leave you with a hole burned in your pocket.

On the last day of our visit, I believe the pool must’ve been cleaned as the smell of the chemicals used was very strong.

When the patio door is closed you cannot even hear the busses, and the pool has a great water feature to mask the noise as well.

As a non-smoker it was a bit disturbing that smoking was allowed in the pool area and at the breakfast (outside).

* No means to make yourself coffee in the standard room
* No ice machine in hallway
* Smoking outdoors by the pool

I used the hotel gym and was able to get a good work out in (to burn off all those fried potatoes)

Food- we only ordered room service once as we wanted to experience food locally.

It smelled of smoke and the cleaning fluid they had used to try to remove the smell.

The only tiny drawback is that it is right beside the bus station and occasionally the noise and smell of engines was noticeable.

About a mile to bus station to access alternative transportation.

- use the local bus station to get around to visit other places.

It is located in an old harbor, approximately 15 min walk from a bus station.

Aside from the amazing harbor, you are in a prime spot with the best restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shopping, and the bus station all within walking distance.

We walked to the hotel from the bus station as we arrived from the airport.

Close to the town centre and 15 mins from the bus station.

walking from the town bus station with all our luggage was a lot less pleasant.

There are a few local beaches in walking distance and then the bus station is not far for further trips.

Farther from the bus station than I would have liked,

The rooms were renovated, with contemporany decoration, and cleaning was ok. Distances are also convenient from the bus station (final stop of the bus from Chania Airport): taxi only 5 Euros, with a big bag !

Right on the harbour  next to lots of excellent restaurants and only a short walk into the main tourist area and the bus station.

but it is still an easy walk from the main bus station (15-20 minutes)

Front office and maid service was very good.

The front desk gave us a warm welcome when we arrived the hotel by walking from the bus station.

The bars and restaurants are between a 1 to 15 min walk, bus station was 15-20 min walk, the staff gave us fresh beach towels every day and they were absolutely great and very helpful all the time.

The bus station is only 15 min walk from the hotel, and bus service was very good organized.

Walking distance to everything in the city, including the main bus station.

Location wise it was a perfect base to start our travels, at the quiet end of the harbour it was 10 minutes from the nicer restaurants and 20 mins to the bus station if you wanted to go further afield.

The bus station for busses that take you out to other towns was about a 20 minute walk and the hotel gave us excellent directions.

The breakfast is mind blowing guys and the people serving food in the restaurant are so friendly that u can ask them anything without thinking much , and I cannot that the lady in the reception was amazing she helped us to get to the town can’t thank her and the people in the restaurant for making us feel at home

Staff were very friendly and helpful and we will return.

The employees  are professional and very friendly and warm .

Everything was clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was great.

First-time vistors have commented to me how friendly the staff are (and that was certainly NOT the case at every place we stayed at in Crete recently).

friendly, efficient Katerina on the reception, in fact all staff are charming and welcoming.

Oh, and a very friendly and helpful staff.

A lovely hotel with the most friendly and helpful staff.

An excellent hotel with great views of the harbor and a friendly staff.

Immaculate, friendly, reasonably priced and awesome location!

The location is excellent, the rooms are nice, clean and modern, the staff is super friendly and accommodating.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the bar serves a great cafe frappe-- as well as the usual beer and popular Aperol Spritz.

but we also  received a wonderful upgrade to a beautiful seaview suite from the friendly receptionist Katarina and finally the breakfast, was just awesome.

Hotel was brilliant  all the staff helpful  friendly both at reception and in the restaurant and bar.

The hotel is very disabled friendly, my husband is a wheelchair user & the disabled room overlooking the garden was well equipped.

Staff: the personnel in this hotel are exceptional, friendly, professional and clearly take pride in being part of this hotel.

The waiters were all very kind and friendly.

Fantastic accommodation with friendly staff and absolutely first class service.

But there are plenty of places to eat close by and it's a bit quieter at the eastern end of the harbor.

I like that is is only four floors and situated at the elbow of Chania harbor.

The breakfasts are amazing and you can't beat having coffee outside on the front patio while you gaze at the harbor and watch the people parade by.

Lovely hotel right by the sea wall in the harbor of Chania.

Morning, afternoon or night, the atmosphere along the adjacent harbor walk, seawall and lighthouse is magical.

The hotel is located in a more quiet part of the harbor which is very nice.

You walk out the front door and you are in the midst of all of the harbor activities.

The hotel is at the quieter eastern end of the harbor which is nice

Sitting on the terrace, looking at the harbor lighthouse really couldn't be any better.

Fantastic location right on the marina , staff were great and the breakfast was superb, definitely recommend a visit, rooms were neat clean and tidy, in hindsight would have grabbed a front room instead of a side room as they seem a bit bigger

Located in front of the harbor, we had an amazing view, with a huge wrap around porch.

Best aspect of this hotel is the location right on the harbor--perfect location to explore Chania and find great restaurants.

Breakfast was served right alongside the harbor.

From the location at the far end of the harbor to our very comfortable room with its double balcony, we loved everything about this hotel.

We had a spacious suite with a wrap around balcony and a beautiful view of the Venetian  harbor, street scene, and lighthouse.

Hotel Porto Veneziano's best asset is its premium location directly on the harbor front facing west.

Fantastic location at the old harbor, quiet

Rooms were neat and clean and it is located right on the Old Venetian harbor.

Located right in front of the old Venetian Harbor, you’re right in the middle of action and yet it’s so quiet and peaceful.

The historic location in the old Venetian Harbor is beautiful & uplifting, especially at daybreak & dusk.

Right n the old Venetian Harbor and surrounded by restaurants this is a perfect location for visiting this lovely town.

This hotel is located on the Old Venetian harbor in Chania on Crete.

Excellent location,quiet ,  renovated and tastefully decorated rooms, always perfectly clean offering a great view to the old venetian harbor and the most stunning sunsets.The stuff is extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast is great, offering a  rich variety of homemade  cretan delicacies until eleven o' clock in the morning with the staff always serving you with a smile.Beds and pillows are new and comfortable, bathroom always perfectly clean.

Located right on the Old Venetian Harbor with lots of cafes and shops, this hotel was totally renovated about two years ago.

Its location, its view of the old Venetian harbor, rooms, service, breakfast, information provided, the possibility of organized activities.

The location of the hotel is fantastic because it is right on the beautiful old Venetian harbor, with all restaurants and eateries within a few minutes walking distance.

Clean, charming, on the old Venetian Harbor of Chania, this is the best place to stay in Chania.

My wife and I stayed at P V, at the old Venetian harbor, Chania, Crete, Greece last month.

quiet enough and yet close to everything you want to see and do in the old Venetian harbor.

This family-owned renovated hotel is the best place to stay at this refined town as it is located at a quiet part of the venetian port - where all happens, and has good and flexibly managed parking facilities any time you need them.

Exceptional hotel, excellent breakfast a La carte options, just two minutes away from Old Port!

Porto V is a smart, comfortable little hotel right on the old port.

We were able to walk to all attractions and loved sitting having breakfast looking out into the old Venetian port.

Top position in the beautiful ancient port of Chania.

The best place in the port area, amazing view, great service, outstanding staff, free parking, perfect!

Amazing hotel in the most beautiful place of the city of Chania, in the historic Venetian port.

The Porto Veneziano Hotel is located in the heart of the the old Venetian Port of Chania which is a marvelous location.

but whenever we retreated to our room for a break, we were spoiled by the beautiful views of the old port right outside of our balcony. Our suite with port view (room 310?)

The bar - restaurant of the hotel are very good with spectacular views to the port  and its old buildings.The breakfast is an experience ,except the fact that is freshly cooked and well presented ,it introduces you to the Cretan delights and local products .Try their Cretan  breakfast and the small Cretan pies !

The hotel is wonderfully situated overlooking the old port which is picture perfect at sunset.

This hotel is about a 20 minute drive from the airport and is situated in a peaceful section of the harbour overlooking the old Venetian port.

The hotel is on front of the Venetian port.

An easy walk to the light house or around the scenic old port.

Great advantage the private parking and the unique view of the port.

To start with, we had a free parking for the whole period of time we've stayed there-3 nights.The location of the hotel is superb- bang on the port right next to everything which is worth exploring in Chania, and the view from the room balcony is unforgettable,really breathtaking.

with view  of Chania port anf the lighthouse.

We stayed  in this wonderful hotel for 16 nights, our room at the hotel was lovely and spotlessly clean and the view of the port from the balcony was stunning.

Right on the waterfront with a great view of the port - falling asleep with the boats lapping against the pier was amazing!

Some reviews mention about the bathrooms being small -

Note that the room and bathroom are quite small..

The suite was not as big as it should, the beds were mediocre and the bathroom was too small and weirdly shaped.

The hotel is a good 3* standard - yes, the rooms are pretty basic and a bit small and yes, the bathrooms are VERY small - you do almost have to stand in the shower tray to close / open the door -

The bathroom was small, clean, with a shower only.

The rooms are very small, the bed not very comfy, and the bathroom is tiny - even by NYC standards.

• bathroom is small (the shower is so tiny)
• bed is a little stiff

Despite the list of least likes, we will continue to book our stay at PV.

The rooms themselves are a bit cramped, and we found the bathroom really tiny,

The bathroom was so small, I could not close the door of the room from the inside unless I stood in the shower.

The room was small compared to what we are used to in the United States,

If I were to take off half a star it would be because the room was tiny.

Cons
Very basic
Room too small especially after staying at Lato - yes we knew the size of the rooms beforehand!

The double rooms are small and walls too thin.

They provided all the maps we needed, including directions to the nearby central bus station.

The location of this hotel is just perfect: on walking distance from the main bus station, at the side of the old port.

It is easily walkable from the bus station in 10 minutes.

Close to all you need - restaurants and shops, as well as ten minutes walk from the bus station.

The hotel management suggested that they would pick us up from the bus station

This is a 400 year old building with no elevators

The nature of converting a historic building into a modern hotel causes some challenges though - very steep and narrow stairs (no lift) and we had a very odd shaped bathroom (c 20ft long

one drawback for people that dont like stairs, no elevator .

The hotel does not have a lift BUT their insisted on carrying our bags up 2 flights of stairs and give us a free upgrade to the best room in the hotel as it was still available!!!

No elevator, very old building and steps just for information, not complaining.

As these hotels don't have elevators (nor would you want to ruin their charm with one) my sore back and my wife's unsettled stomoch weren't about to deal with hunting from hotel to hotel, not to mention loads of steps to get to upper floor rooms.

The hotel is well located with a view on the port while set back so that it is not in the bustle pedestrian traffic.

Friendly and informative staff, beach towels on hand and a gorgeous location on the harbour and within touching distance of all Chania has to offer, whilst still remaining very peaceful.

Location is very good--close (but not within view of) where you park; close to shops, bars, etc.,

The location is in the heart of the Old Harbor.

Location wise, it was a perfect short distance from all the Tavernas, shops and restaurants within Chania old town and you get a great view of the lighthouse from room 1.

Probably one of best locations in Chania Harbour, minutes from everything and a very short walk to the taxi rank.

This small boutique hotel is located right at the end of the Venetian Harbour.

This is a lovely character hotel in a fantastic location  on the old harbour.

Ideal location in such an interesting old building.

located on the harbor with view of the light house.

This hotel is beautiful and in the most perfect position on the waterfront.

Also, the hotel is absolutely charming, extremely well located in the old historic center with a nice view on the port.

This hotel has a brilliant location on the harbour.

This boutique property is ideally located along Chania’s Old Venetian Harbor, offering sweeping views of the sea and the Venetian Lighthouse.

It’s cozy, perfectly located for walks around Chania’s beautiful old town and nearby shops, restaurants and bars.

The location is the best - right in the heart of the action.

I loved the location, tucked away at the end of the harbour - close to everything,
