Modernly decorated, the air-conditioned units come with a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box. Each includes a kitchenette with fridge and kitchenware, and a furnished balcony with views of the sea or the pool. The pool area is very nice and the bar prices are good. The room was cleaned daily and the people from reception very helpful. The location is very good and I recommend the breakfast!

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. This is a centrally located Hotel on 1866 ('Taxi') Square. The Harbour and 'Old Town' are a just few minutes walk. I have been using the Arkardi for many years. It's main 'plus', apart from location, are the really helpful Reception staff. I will be back!!

Within 100 metres from the city centre, Kastro Hotel is well-situated for exploring the ancient sites of Heraklion. It offers spacious, air-conditioned rooms with breakfast included in the rate.

Each of the rooms at Kastro is well-presented with modern décor details such as elegant wallpapers and draped curtains. Modern amenities include LCD TV and a mini fridge. Some rooms have either terraces or balconies. Everything was pretty great, especially the fact that the rooms are very modern in terms of furniture, lighting and technology.

Located in the centre of Chania, Kydon Hotel is opposite of the main market hall and just a few minutes' walk from the Old Town and the Venetian Harbour. Meeting facilities and free WiFi Fiber in all areas are provided. The hotel is very nice and clean! The staff is friendly, polite and helpful which made the whole stay even better. The room was comfortable and nice, ours also had a balcony where we could dry the clothes after beach and rest. Breakfast is also good and has some options, if you don't want to spend morning looking for a place to eat outside. Location was almost perfect, we could be at the city centre in maximum of 10 minutes walk. The hotel also has a parking with a small daily fee, it was very convenient since the island is big and we wanted to explore around with a car.
