but the hotel is starting to need some maintenance in some of bathrooms and stains on carpets in corridors .

Cons: road noises are quite bad if you are light sleeper, carpets are very out dated and stains.

Only thing I would suggest is refurbishing the rooms with hard flooring-the carpet is dated and stained and just not in keeping with the rest of the hotel.

but the carpet is way overdue to be changed.

My only complain is about aged carpets resulting a dirty impression on the floor.

Some of the hall carpets are showing wear,

Let down by noise pollution in room from adjoining rooms, stains on the carpet in the room and a poor room service meal on one occasion out of two -

On a v small note carpets just outside elevators could perhaps be renewed as belie this fab hotel!

The only comment I had was the hallway carpets were full of stain otherwise I could have an 5 star ratings.

The only negative is the condition of the carpet throughout the hotel.

THE BAD: Tiny room, view of the parking lot, stained carpet, tiny (albeit clean) bathroom (with a half glass door which I hate).

Only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is that style-wise this hotel is in need of a guru and a make over, especially the carpets and the small bathrooms need seeing to soon.

The only reason why I do not give Kydon a 5 star review are the hotel's carpets.

signs of aging..carpet stains etc
road noise
The positives far outweigh the negatives and it was a great place to stay! !

Filthy carpets, can hear hallway noise from rooms, and service is poor.

A new/clean carpet plus a tea/coffee maker would have been more in keeping with a 4*.

although the carpet was badly stained and not particularly clean.

Excellent 4 star hotel close to old city,
Rooms are clean and spacious.small bathroom

The hotel was across the ancient Agora and very close to the old city.

Good location near the old city.. quick and easy access to all the restaurants and shops.

in the heart of the city close to the shopping area and the old city.

It is situated  near the old city and very close to the harbour.

Apart from the great location in terms of proximity to the city and beaches, it is extremely well run, organised.

This is a nice hotel with great location near the old city of Chania and the are of restaurants/bars.

Very good hotel if you want to be in the heart of the city and very close to the old Venetian harbor.

The location is walking distance to the city market, shops, and restaurants.

Very convenient location, close to old city and Venetian harbour, wonderful breakfast with delicious local food, excellent staff, polite and efficient, remembered our coffee choices at breakfast, free parking.

The location is also excellent and very close to the old city.

The hotel is situated in a strategic location; it is in the middle of the city yet is close to the Old Town and the port of Chania.

Verry good service, helpful crew, near too the city senter , good food, close too the AirPort ,  high standard of room, special the beds, free tea , coffe and cold bottled water, there was some noice from the street dogs, cars and people.

Access to the city is within walking distance.

It is well located in the heart of the city in walking distance from all sight seeings.

It is close to the old city and the port.

very close to the old city, which is the best part in the town.

The Kydon hotel is perfectly positioned in Chania, close to the old city and the harbour

Close to old city and harbor gives to client(s) whatever needs.

but, the bathroom was small and the shower was very cramped.

The only minor complaints I have is that our bathroom was tiny.

First room we got was a "standard " room and had a tiny bathroom and looked out on busy premises across a narrow street,

The ONLY reason I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 was that our room was on  the street side and it could be a little noisy during the morning and evening traffic times, AND the bathroom was small with very little counter space - it was a bit of a juggling act,

Bathroom a bit small, otherwise a perfect place to stay.

The bathroom was tiny and the shower felt like a phone booth.

In fact, the bathroom was so small, it had a weird half-size combination tub/shower.

Only complaint is the small shower stall and no gym or pool at the hotel.

Only the bathroom was a bit small and cramped; the room should have been 50cm smaller and the bathroom 50cm larger, then it would have been perfect,

Only con was the bathroom which was small and the showers didnt have good pressure apart from that a nice hotel to stay in Chania.

On the other hand, the bathroom was small, with miniature shower, plastic counter and inadequate lighting.

The hotel is well localized, near of the city center and on the first line of the port.

Pros: Great views, close to city center, clean and modern room, comfortable bed, amazing breakfast with great vast selections, friendly and accommodating staff (Michales and Xena were fantastic), black out shades and curtains, great A/C 
Cons: None at all!

Quiet yet very close to the city life of Chania.

I will reccomand the Porto,its near the old city og Chania,but more quiet. .

5-minute walking distance to the city centre, on the waterfront by all the restaurants-pubs-cafes.

and it's very convenient to everywhere, anywhere in the old city are on walking distance.

The location is wonderful, so close to old city,

So, as a place with excellent staff, excellent location, brilliant breakfast, close to the old city and harbour, and with a great deal of character, this is a top hotel.

Close to the city and good places to eat and party at!

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

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.

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.

Porto Veneziano Hotel

small room

Free private parking nearby

Free breakfast

12 days in Paradis, very good beds and pillows, the bathroom is small,

but the bathroom seems to be  renovated in the last few years.

Experience sadly let down by ripped mosquito screen, having to go down to reception to ask for complimentary toiletries supposed to be in the room, also for kettle,

but no glasses or cups, not even in the bathroom

shower could be better ..its small with curtens and shower head is strange .

No soap in the bathroom (only shampoo)
Rooms above the restaurant can be pretty noisy during midnight (when the restaurant closes).

Mid week, we asked the cleaners to empty our bin and for another toilet roll and this was done immediately.

although the shower is a bit of a challenge.

The shower even had a lower spout for cleaning away the sand between my toes.

but comfortable and clean, only shower with curtain is a bit annoying, it’s hard not to have the water all around the floor, no matter how much you try.

Our only minor gripe was our bathroom, which could do with an overhaul,

The shower temperature did vary a little throughout the day and the shower head would benefit from replacement in our room.

The only downsides were the rooms had a very small bathroom

The down point was lack of hot water at night and a teeny shower .

Room was small with 2 single beds which we had asked for, a fridge, bathroom and balcony with sea views.

however the bathroom is very small and the shower base is very uncomfortable and hard to use, water leaks everywhere.

Although the hotel doesn't have the amenities or the feel of a five star hotel

But there was no hair dryer in the bathroom.

The room had wifi, shower, tv, aircon, balcony with chairs & table & safety deposit box should you need it.

As many people here already reviewed, the bathroom got always really wet when showering because of the low base and the short curtain.

The Hotel is in the near to the city and also to platanias.

The place is brilliantly located for Chania in a quiet suburb close to the city centre with wonderful views out over the sea and the Akrotiri and Rhodopos Peninusla.

We like the genuine surroundings including the sheep, hens, dogs and cats so near the city.

the place is perfect: near the city of chania,

Good things about the hotel: 
- location (but only if you have a car rented), because it is close to the city center and to some other beaches nearby;
- free parking;
- clean room;
- nice view;
- very friendly staff;
- best restaurant of the trip to Greece;
- good tour trips.

Fantastic and helpful crew with sense of humor, nice and clean rooms with air conditioners and bathrooms, close to the city centre and to the beach 🌴

Location was perfect for us because it near by the city

The hotel is well located, close to the city centre and even closer to the beach.

I recommend this place for those looking for a simple hotel, that is clean and close to the city, at a very affordable price.

It is close to the city center of Chania (approx.

My only downside was the toilet door banged against the toilet it was so small and it was a horrible shower - only because it was old and bit tired looking with a kind of 'past its sell buy date shower curtain' that wasn't inviting and the dogs from next door barked like crazy day or night at anything that moved

The bathroom was small, and it was a little hard to use the wc because there was not enough space when sitting.

The bathroom floor also gets really wet because of the way that the small showers are built

The shower was also small and difficult to use (without flooding the bathroom floor!).

Rooms are okay, small showers and no bath,

The bathroom was also a bit small and the lack of a bathroom curtain was actually a bit annoying as all water from the shower ended up on the bathroom floor.

Stayed at the hotel for a week - the room was a tiny bit small,

I have read comments that the rooms are small.

Air con included in price (and much needed), safety deposit box in room for small fee, fridge, towels changed every 2 days and room cleaned daily.

Room a bit small for two adults and one child,

Rooms are very small and uncomfortable,dirty floor with someones hairs,  bed is horrible - it probably better without it, bathroom is leaking everywhere.

The location near the city center was good.

It's located in a perfect place near the old city.

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.

We were looking for a place close to everything in city of Chania.

The Samaria was the best Hotel near the city, walking distance to town.

From breakfast, to cleanliness, to the concierge booking my excursions was superb.In the heart of the city everything within walking distance.

We enjoyed :
- the welcoming and really helpful staff, 
- an excellent breakfast with Cretan specialties,
- a strategic location close to the old city of Chania,
- beautiful and clean rooms
- the facilities, like the swimming pool
- and finally the coconut wood bicycles !

Very close to the old city and the old port.

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 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.

Samaria Hotel

Outdoor pool

Very close to old city (4 minutes walking to the venetian port) and all the services just outside of the hotel!

Arkadi Hotel is very close to the city center (a 5-minute walk to the Archaeology Museum and right near the Old Town).

The hotel was in a good location close to the city center and a five minute walk to the old port.

This hotel is in the center of Hania and really close to the old city.

The location is amazing in the center of Chania.close to old Venetian harbor.

walk to the old Venetian Harbor and central market.

Unfortunately the rooms aren't soundproof and you can hear music and honking from the street.There was some construction when we were there and we also heard that very well.

However it was very noisy at night with a 24/7 bakery open just across the road.

At the beginning, I got a room on the low floor, near the street, it was too noisy and at the following night, they replaced my room to quiet one at the backside in upper floor.

Negative : breakfast cold and basic, view of the room is the back of a building (at least our room), basic beds , thin walls ( very noisy), limited parking space.

The noise from the hallway is too much, as the doors do not fill the doorgap - see picture.

but with my earplugs in and the pillow over my head i almost couldnt hear them.

but maybe a bit noisy in the summer months.

Larger and, bien sur, dearer rooms 15 sq meters are overlooking the square which can be a bit noisy at night.

Other reviews have commented on the street noise--we did not find that a problem and slept soundly--we did notice that lots of people are out really late into the early hours of the morning having fun.

Needed earplugs due to street and people noise

If you like a quiet room in which to sleep, you will have to ignore the buzzing from the electric key-in-the-slot (or remove it) the whirr of the aircon, (unless you can do without it), and the hum of the fridge (which can also be unplugged).

but noisy, due to hudge traffic in the street or to the maids in the corridors.

Some people (who were roomed at the back of the building said that it was noisy there,

The only minor downside is that due to noise you cannot sleep with the door open,

situated on a square thought it might be noisy

Near a busy junction so expect some noise.

but it was extremely varied. And we received a little parting gift from the hotel (something simple, a small olive oil bottle, some soaps and shower gel, all made by a local company with a heavenly smell!!!)

Even the new towels smelled of cigarettes!

The elevator is very old and it smells a bit.

The worst part about the hotel was that it smelled like smoke everywhere.

Arkadi Hotel

quietness

Parking

The hotel is very close to the city center.

Family run, helpfull and warmhearted staff, great location near old city and bus station, clean and peaceful.

Very near to the old city of Chanion and to the bus station for faraggi samareias.

The hotle is in the heart of the city very close to the local tranfer.

Archontiki Hotel is very centrally located in the heart of Chania, and is very close to the "Old City" and the port - this definitely came in handy after walking around all day looking at the beautiful Venetian buildings.

We got a room at the 4th floor; keep in mind that you have to take the stairs for about half a floor before you get access to the elevator.

The lift does not come down to street level, you must go up 5 - 10 stairs to reach the lift.
