My room was great; clean, comfy bed, side view of the port and good shower pressure.

Whilst not large the room way perfectly adequate and clean.

Very clean and comfortable with one of the best breakfasts I have known in any hotel - a superb choice of al a carte options served beautifully by the delightful Zina and her colleagues.

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

The place was absolutely spotlessly clean.

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

What a beautiful, convenient, well maintained, clean hotel.

The room was clean and the towels and linens fresh.

The room was spotless, and the cleaners did a really good job each day.

Lovely Bed, super clean , lovely amenities , perfect location on the port ,Do get a car so that you can visit the main attractions,

Staff are super and the place is spotless.

The service is impeccable and professional, no matter which department.

Daily clean in bedroom with fresh towels every day and bed made.

Spent a fantastic few days here visiting

Good size clean room and bathroom 
Good WiFi

I would highly recommend!

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 and all areas of the hotel were exceptionally clean and maintatined to a very high standard.

The location is excellent, close enough to walk to everything

Superb location on the harbour and yet away slightly from the crowds & with swimming nearby.

It is located by Chania's inner harbour, a short walk from the town centre.

Room has a wonderful view and the hotel is perfectly  located at the harbour

In an excellent location with a magnificent view - lighthouse and the sunset - the Porto Veneziano Hotel offers much more than one needs for fantastic holidays!!!

The position of hotel perfect for view over the little Harbour and an easy walk to the main.

The Porto Veneziano Hotel has a tremendous location for visiting Chania old town.

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

Top location, park, all employees very friendly and professional and a breakfast to die for.

The hotel location is perfectly situated on the harbarside with front row views of the evening sunset and moonlit water.

The hotel is located at a really nice end of the harbour and felt pristine and peaceful.

Fantastic location not inside the bustle ,

Location is great - right on harbour where you can hire a boat.

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

I highly recommend this hotel due to it’s fabulous location.

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.

Now, if they could just build a pool on the roof. .

My only criticism would be that the style of the hotel is relatively modern, and so it may not be as quaint as other venetian style hotels, oh and also i would suggest a jacuzzi on the roof; instead of solar panels!

I didn't rate the pool or fitness center because I didn't use them.

There is no pool at the hotel, so you have to go the many nearby beaches for a swim.

We had a room on the side of hotel with a balcony which had a partial harbour view.

Modern well equiped room with a beautiful view from the balcony.

The rooms were very well insulated at night, and no outside noise was heard.

The balcony views from our room were phenomenal!

We had a harbour-view room which I'd highly recommend.

The room was fine--on the small side as was the bathroom.

The rooms are extremely clean and bright with nicely appointed bathrooms and generous amenities.

A complimentary bottle of wine in our room for our 25th wedding anniversary was also a wonderful surprise!

The rooms were ample sized, balconies overlook the harbor and the beds quite comfortable.

We spent an afternoon walking round doing this and it paid off.

The nearest one with sunbeds and facilities is a 20mins walk the other side of town.

Walking around the winding streets was great fun and the selection of top quality restaurants nearby was very convenient.

but in the quiet zone , sea front and 3 mins close to the busy side -  walking .

There’s a great beach 10 or 20 mins walk away - water is warm and clear.

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

We enjoyed our daily walks into the Old Town browsing the shops, boutiques, bars and ice cream parlours

Our room was clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and efficient.

Was a great base to explore the city and coastal walks.

Walk a ways out on the peninsula a bit  and pick a magical spot on the sand with great swimming

It is very easy to walk into Old Town Chania from the hotel.

A really lovely hotel in the perfect location - at the end of the beautiful old harbour and only a short walk into the centre.

You can sit all night sipping a drink and watching people walk by.

No real space to walk or to store our carry on sized suitcases and large backpack.

You can walk all through the old port, downtown and surrounding areas from here.

Breakfast was great  location was good, the view of the harbour from our hotel was excellent especially sunset and we could walk everywhere.

Loved that you could have a towel to take to the beach which was about20mins  walk away or you could get a taxi for 5euros.

My family and I stayed here for 3 weeks and we absolutely loved it from the moment we walked in!

The location of the hotel was excellent - with three great restaurants almost next door, a tiny beach just round the corner where we went for our morning swim, or in the other direction the promenade walk, lined with restaurants and cafes, which takes you to the centre and old town within minutes.

Excellent ubication in the center of chania to go walking to visit the town.

Location is good with few minute walk from tourist centre and about 15 min walk from 2 beaches.

The hotel is located just across the street from the center of the Old Town which is absolutely great!

In the center of Xania you can walk to downtown.

The location, a mere 5 minute walk from the center situates the hotel perfectly.

The hotel was lovely, right in the centre of where you wanted to be to explore Chania.

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

Location is excellent, in the center of the new city

For a city centre hotel, having both a car park and an outdoor pool are a real bonus.

In hotel is situated in a great location in the centre of Chania.

The Samaria is a superb hotel in the centre of Chania.

The location is perfect in the center and right next to the bus station.

This hotel is ideally situated in the centre of the shopping precinct and a short walk to the old port city which is where all the bars and restaurants are situated.

As it is in the centre, it has been designed to keep out the noise, double glazing everywhere, and a nice architectural touch, the pool has a water feature which masks the sound of traffic with the far more pleasant sound of falling water.

Samaria is a very pleasant modern hotel in the center of Chania.

Very nice hotel in the vicinity of the centre of the Old Town Chania, Crete, Greece.

The included breakfast was excellent and the fitness center was top grade equipment (TechnoGym).

but functional - fabulous rainwater shower
On the plus side the hotel is next to the town bus centre.

It felt like we landed on our feet with this last-minute booking, and we would definitely stay again.

Large, modern bathroom.Secure, dedicated parking lot for 8 Euro's/dayAll personnel were extremely accommodating.Location was two blocks south of old town, less touristy, and with easy access by car or on foot.

The location of the hotel was also great for getting around on foot and for catching the bus to the next city.

It is located right next to the bus station (which could be discouraging due to the heavy foot traffic)

Hotel is located nearby the center of Chania, just two minutes from center on foot.

Hotel is beside bus station and in center of Chania 5min by foot is the old harbour and old town where.you can eat and go for a drink.

but is no more than a 5 minute walk to the old harbour - you can easily explore all of the old town from here on foot.

Entrance of old town is 5 minutes by foot and shopping area 2 minutes.

There is a small fridge in the room which is nice & you can walk to the pier, the grocery store, a Starbucks and a tons of restaurants within 5 minutes on foot.

Its position is great, only in 5 minutes distance from the historical area on foot.

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

but lovely and much needed on a hot day - note the pool doesn't open until 10.30am when breakfast stops being served.

Since we were missing breakfast (it opens at 7 AM), they made sure to have a breakfast package waiting for us at check-out.

The hotel has a private parking for 8€ per day, with your room card as key to open the automatic entrance gate.

Be aware that it is in the middle of town on a busy street so there's a lot of street noise if you have your patio doors open,

If you open the balcony doors the noise from the city was deafening.

The Samaria has it's own car park adjacent the hotel, there's a nominal daily charge and I guess if you block another car in you leave your keys at reception (no probs).

however a bit small, so you sometimes have to leave your keys to the lobby so they can move your car if required.

Nothing works in the room without the key in the holder.

There are no written instructions in the room and so we needed help with the air conditioning (door must be locked to activate the magnetic catch) and there was no label telling you the number for reception (9 or 0 are equally common).

Guest security at the hotel is a high priority, I left my rental car key in the ignition everyday and walked away.

They placed me in a dark corner room that seemed smaller than the pictures of the deluxe rooms in their website with a small toilet and shower room combo.

There is a small bathroom, flat TV (32'), a small refrigerator and a small desk in the room.

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).

The hotel is in a good position, just moments walk to the Old Town, and a 12-15 minute to the nearest beach.

Lovely hotel , staff very friendly , great to come home at night and have a drink around the pool , 5 minute walk to old town , The  breakfast is really good and served around the pool , parking also available

Location was also perfect with only a 5-10 min walk to the old town!

The location also cant be beat, one block away from old town and the port and all the souvenirshops and sea side tavernas. .

In terms of traveling to places outside the old town we used the bus service which is right behind the hotel - fantastic location.

Here’s the highlights of my stay:

✅ extremely warm welcome
✅ carried my bags up
✅ got a room upgrade
✅ amazing complimentary coffee
✅ got a welcome drink and snacks to room
✅ very modern interiors
✅ incredibly friendly staff
✅ loads of extra facilities
✅ 5 min walk from old town
✅ ultra clean
✅ really tasty food & breakfast
✅ fresh ingredients 

What more do you want?

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

We choose this hotel for our first few days in Crete to explore the town Chania.

The location is ideal, only a few minutes walk to the "start" of the old town and lovely to wander the streets and shops down to the harbour where there are great restaurants!

The location is great and just a short walk to the old town.

This hotel is only a few minutes walk to the old town, so it was perfect for a convenient and quiet stay.

it was the cheapest in town for a two day rental too see the gorgeous beaches Breakfast was in point and the shower was excellent.

Great location close to the old town, very comfortable and above all genuinely friendly and helpful staff.

Hotel is located a 5 - 10 minute walk from the old town.

The hotel has a spectacular location in the heart of the city just a street across the old town and the market

But, it was also nice to walk around the neighborhood where the locals live and shop.

I booked the Samaria Hotel for two nights so that I could walk the Samaria Gorge and was very glad that I did.

The hotel is in the perfect location with all the resturants/ bars within a very short walk.

The hotel is a very short walk to the old town and is ideally located.

The hotel is literally a 5 minute walk from the lighthouse and all the bars, places to eat and shops.

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.

But the second we walked into the nice hotel and were greeted by a fantastic staff, all concerns vanished.

While the room was spotless, the blankets were dirty and stained, the hot water wasn't that hot and the shower leaked all over the floor no matter what you did to prevent it.

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!).

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.

The shower is indeed a little interesting to use and you do run the risk of flooding the floor,

However careful you are you end up flooding the bathroom floor and this is a hassle.

The main town and Chania old port are a 25 minute stroll away and there are several sandy beaches within walking distance, including golden beach where the swimming and snorkelling are best.

The location is really convenient, close to the beach and a nice walk to the city centre.

Towels are changed every other day, with the possibility to have extra ones for the beach, which is extremely convenient when traveling with small luggages.

Highly recommend doing Samaria Gorge and Elafonissi Beach!

The beach is an easy 10/15 minute downhill walk and a not so easy uphill walk back :)  The hotel's Theodosi  restaurant is just amazing.

but Nea Chora beach (great organized blue-flag beach) is about a 15-minute walk, or about 30 minutes if you have young kids (as we do.)

We could reach all the beaches and the city center with bus 21 in minutes.

A family run hotel with an amazing view, close to Chania city center, close to organised beaches.

but it was still close to te beaches and center.

The beach you can reach in 5 minuts and the window view was amazing.

Great location for us out of town so traffic quiet and enjoyed the walks into the old town and harbour.

Amazing views and walking distance to the beach.

Whilst in a built up area we were very close to pleasant beaches and sea views.

Super location next to the calm beaches and not far to the city center.

With the beach so close it's an easy journey, follow the map reception supply and you're on your way.

Brilliant little bar on the beachfront 10 minutes walk away which makes for a perfect pitstop on the walk into town.

The added bonus of the pool area made it a great place to relax and read a book in the Greek sun when we didn’t feel like being on a crowded beach.

Dogs made noise during the night and early in the morning.

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 air conditioning was very noisy and very often during the night we could hear dogs barking for hours.

but I didn't like the dogs barking all day long.

The problem is a noisy building (shooting doors, people in the restaurant) and neighbourhood (barking dogs even during the night).

but this is mostly usual hotel noise and neighbours dogs barking which are beyond the control the management- so pack earplugs if you are noise sensitive.

Even with ear plugs I found the day and night barking and howling of the dog tied up outside the ground floor was really annoying, and the noise from other residents does echo around the building.

Also, we were woken up in the middle of night when a guest kept knocking someone's room door (not hard knock) on the first floor, and dog barking in early mornings.

Only minor issues we encountered: That Damn Dog - the guard dog that barks at his own shadow ALL night every night - not an aid to restful sleep!

but the dogs barking all night, so hard to sleep.

When we got to the airport, we realised my boyfriend had left his phone at the hotel on charge in reception!

In fact when we arrived we waited for 15 minutes and then decided to call the hotel number.

And also, on our way back home we had asked at reception if they know when buses go to airport from Chania,they checked online and told us that every 2hours and basically we are  late and they can call taxi.

Before we had even finished our conversation he was on his phone speaking to the housekeeping staff and by the time I returned to my room they were already there installing a foam mattress topper so my wife could sleep better.

I called him again 3 times and he didn't picking up the phone.

He seemed genuinely upset that we were calling time on our stay at his hotel, which he clearly adores.

They sat with us for over 6 hours looking for flights the next day and assisted us in calling airports, travel companies, taxies etc, without asking for a thing.

This hostel (I can not call it hotel) is just terrible!!!

You can ask the hotel to call for one for you or just go down to the main street and easily catch one.

If you want to stay within reach of the main town bars, shops and restaurants,

Chania is a busy local town with an interesting harbour, do take a boat trip out as this was excellent experience , can be booked directly at the harbour.

It's about a 30-minute walk to the Old Town, and the walk is along a busy, non-scenic street.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with showing us how to get to the beach and into town.

The hotel is always clean and tidy, with fantastic views of sea and Chania(  love the morning view when the sun come up on the old town) 
The restaurant for the hotel is superb, a must visit for anyone coming to Chania.

they let us check in very late and sorted out an issue with our tv promptly, good location on edge of town 15mins drive from centre

The hotel is close to public transportation and we walked to the old town in about 35-40 minutes along the water .

10 minutes from Centre of old town chainia.

Walk into town, follow your map to the sea then take the path adjacent to the water all the way in to Chania.

We were provided history on the town, a guided map tour of how to get around and the best places to check out while in Chania.
