Very nice hotel, good location and an excellent coffee wirh the breakfast! The only downside is that the room doors did not have soft closers and a lot of the guests sadly slammed them so it was had to sleep past 7.30am.

Probably the best option if you want to spend a vacation in Chania. Spotless clean, professional staff, grest swimming pool, excelent breakfast.Close to Old Town and even closer to the endless restaurant strip.One of the best lodging option I ever had ( and I traveled the world). Me and my family enjoyed the stay a lot and is going to be the only option to consider when we plan next vacation to Crete. Well done Kriti Hotel, keep it up. Thanks gain.

This is our second time back here, but this time we're visiting Samaria National Park.
The best thing about this hotel is its central location—close to everything, yet tucked away from the busy promenade. You really get a feel for the local vibe, and the beach is just a two-minute walk away, mostly frequented by locals too.
Just imagine: we go for a morning run, then dive into the sea on the way back to the hotel—before breakfast. Pure bliss.
And on Saturdays, there’s a street market right next door, full of things to discover.
We absolutely love it!

Room: clean, comfortable and spacious ... not all have balconies. Good standard of housekeeping. Small secluded swimming pool. Breakfast should meet the needs of most. Large car park nearby. Well situated ... most of the city within easy walking distance. Pleasant, obliging staff. There's really nothing not to like!

Great hotel, nothing too much trouble for staff, nice reception, bar area plus a great pool area outside. Even post checkout, we continued to be looked after which was hugely appreciated as my wife had just been to a local hospital. Thank you.

The hotel gave us complimentary fruit and traditional Greek wine. It’s very close to the waterfront where you can find different restaurants. There are rocks you can walk on to view the sunset. The view is fabulous.
