Featuring a restaurant and a pool with sun terrace amidst its palm-tree garden, Royal Sun lies within 3 km from the centre of Chania Town. It offers air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a private balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and the town. We had a great stay at Royal Sun! The location is very convenient – close enough to Chania but away from the busy streets, which made it peaceful and relaxing. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially the night shift receptionist, who was always welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of options, and the restaurant has an incredible panoramic view over Chania – truly a highlight! The room was comfortable and clean, and one of the best features was the free shuttle service to the city center, which saved us the stress of looking for parking. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Chania.

This central Chania hotel is just 200 metres from the Old Town walls and the Venetian harbour. It offers Cretan hospitality, modern furniture and facilities, air-conditioned and soundproof rooms and a limited capacity underground parking. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2021. Perfect location, friendly staff, very clean rooms (we received new towels every day and the room was regularly cleaned). Close to bus station, near the port and in walking distance to the best local beach. We will surely stay here again.

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki is centrally located in Chania Old Town, in the Venetian Harbour.

Etz Hayyim Synagogue is a few steps from Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki, while Archaeological Museum of Chania is 100 metres from the property. The nearest airport is Chania International Airport, 11 km from Shalom Luxury Rooms Kondilaki. Shalom Luxury is located at the heart of Kondilaki, a vibrant and bustling street in Chania Town. To get to Room 1, you walk past diners enjoying their meal al fresco--just like you would imagine a Greek dining experience to be. Room 1 has a patio with furniture, and its room is cozy, exceptionally clean, and large. The bathroom was especially large as well. I am very grateful we stayed at this hotel because it made our Cretan experience that much more wonderful and unforgettable. Its location enabled us to enjoy the Old Town with its many, many cafes, restaurants, and shops. And because the harbor was right there, we were able to spontaneously book a boat ride for an afternoon swim. We hope to return to this island and this hotel in the near future!
