This location was very good in the action a short walk to the Venetian harbour.

A lovely hotel, ideally positioned on the edge of the old town with easy access to the sea and lovely Venetian port.

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

The hotel location is just perfect allowing you to walk round the city on foot with quick access to the venetian port and the old city streets.

It's just a few blocks from the shops and restaurants around the Venetian Harbor, and we walked there at least once per day.

It was only a short walk to all the sights of Chania Old Town & the Venetian port.

Location is excellent as it is about a 6-7 minute walk to the bustling Venetian Harbor, yet in the center of town.

What a lovely central hotel close to the Venetian harbour, shops, restaurants and for sightseeing.

It is an easy walk to the Venetian Port and Old Town which we enjoyed exploring at various times during the day and evening.

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

Absolutely wonderful experience: perfect location (a stone throw to the Venetian harbor); the rooms are spacious, very modern and very clean.

It is conveniently located (five minutes walk from the bustling old town and the venetian harbour).

Walked to the Venetian Harbor for dinners.

The hotels location is perfect, right next to the old town, less that a 5 minute stroll to the Venetian Harbour with a well stocked supermarket nearby.

(2) location - a 5min walk into the heart of Chania Town and the Venetian harbour.

Modern and very clean hotel and only a few minutes from the Old Town and Venetian Harbour.

The location is great, within a couple of minutes from the old town and venetian port.

Its located next door to the bus station for convenient onward travel yet within walking distance of Chania old town, the Venetian Harbour and the market.

The location which is walking distance from the Venetian harbor , the nicely fitted rooms, the breakfast and all was beyond our expectations.

Nice room, great breakfast and friendly staff.

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!

Room was very nice and the breakfast was excellent, everything you could ask for.

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

The breakfast buffet was the best we have every experienced.

The breakfast is really good and healthy.

Breakfast was a lifesaver, and the staff were very friendly.

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

The breakfast is buffet style with an abundance of options and the pool is a lovely way to relax and either bask (or seek shade) from the hot greek sun.

Breakfast was excellent,the staff was more than kind and helpful.The room was large and confortable.

We enjoyed the hotel food as well, breakfast is very comprehensive and the food offered by the restaurant was good (and not overly priced).

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

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.

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 extremely well-located - just two blocks from the harbor,

This was very convenient took a bus to Agia Marina beach which was 15 minutes away.

It’s a short stroll into town & the harbor.

The hotel is very central, literally the road adjacent to the hotel is the main road going down to the harbor with all the tourist shops.

Location is good; perhaps a ten minute walk to the Venetian Harbor area where the shops and restaurants are primarily located.

It is a 10 minute (very nice) walk to the Venetian Harbor.

The property was in a great location, a ten minute walk to the harbor with plenty of shops and restaurants along the way.

location is few meters away from the old town and harbor.

The hotel is just a short walk from the Venetian Harbor and a quick, under 30 minute drive from the airport.

Everything is within 15 minutes, and there is no shortage of activities between the hotel and harbor.

Within a 5 minute walk to the beautiful Venetian harbor and old town!

Easy walk to the harbor and the old town.

Hotel is maximum 10 minutes away from harbor and down town.

Location is very central - short walking distance from the harbor and old city.

The hotel features an excellent bar and restaurant and is only walking distance from the Venetian harbor.

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.

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.

Staff were definitely the most helpful and at tentative in Greece (as we stayed on the other side of the island after this hotel stay).

The staff was most helpful they arranged a taxi for us to go to Falasarna Beach.

We also want to give a shout out to George, the bellman, who is one of the friendliest helpful guys ever.

The entire staff was wonderful and very professional.

Immediately upon arrival we realised that this was a superb, welcoming and first rate medium sized hotel.

We find the personnel aways smiling and ready to serve.

We were literally sad to leave and to say goodbye to the staff!

The staff were just always so helpful and polite and couldn’t do enough for you.

The rooms are well appointed, VERY clean and the staff are very knowledgable with the best places to visit while you stay in Chania.

All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The front desk staff was super efficient and welcoming.

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.

FANTASTIC 
Birthday stay for one night right on Chania Harbour with fantastic views of the old Venetian light house staff very helpful.

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

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.

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

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.

We spent a truly wonderful week at Porto Veneziano - a gem of a hotel on the Old Venetian Harbour.

The hotel is on front of the Venetian port.

Situated at the elbow of the old Venetian Harbour, immaculate rooms; gracious and helpful employees; attention to detail; and excellent food (I’m Greek).

Our room overlooked the venetian harbour so the location for us was perfect.

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

Thank you Porto Venetian for the treat and look forward to the next stay.

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.

Very good location right next to the old venetian harbour, a spotlessly clean room and a delicious breakfast , despite the pandemic and covid restrictions that they totally follow.Furthermore a very attentive staff and a nice balcony to enjoy the sunset.

Breakfast sitting outside facing the old Venetian Harbour, relaxing.

The rooms are spacious, comfortable with view of the Venetian Harbour.

It's centrally located and yet in a quiet area by the picturesque Venetian harbour.

The location is perfect, some restaurants close by, walking distance to the main area of the Venetian Harbour where the bars and restaurants are in abundance.

Excellent location on the waterfront overlooking the Venetian port.

The free breakfast has much to choose from.

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

beds are so comfortable, breakfast delicious, location fantastic. .

Staff were really helpful and the breakfast was fabulous too.

Breakfast is a must due to its food variety and quality.

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

The included breakfast was, by far, the best we had.

The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and we enjoyed the porridge.

The buffet breakfast is the best I have come across.

Excellent breakfasts, local yogurt and pastries to die for.

Breakfast was simple and offered off the menu as well.

And the included breakfast was delicious.

The location was beautiful, at the quieter end of the harbour; breakfast and dinner were excellent; our room was small

Great choice of breakfast both hot and cold.

The staff members were cheeful and very helpful, the breakfast wonderful.

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.

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.
