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.

We stayed for one night after a late arrival at Chania airport, mainly because of the combination of good reviews and a 24 hour concierge. It was a perfect choice - seamless check-in, pleasant staff and a comfortable room with hot shower after a long and sticky journey. A basket of fresh fruit, snacks and complementary water was much appreciated. The breakfast was perfectly good too.

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.

The bar has great service and was very quick. When I requested an iron and ironing board, staff arrived with the items in hand immediately. We arrived earlier than check-in time, so we did wait about an hour. But during that time I was able to relax in the lobby and enjoy a drink. Although the room was small, it was very nice with a lot of storage and very bright. The only thing is their bathrooms need remodeling. They are super clean, but the shower design is dated and tiny.

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!

Location is great for exploring the city. The hotel is fine for a one or two stay over. Pool area is very small and was overcrowded, Roomfloors were very noisy, but i belive we were unlucky with a full floor with families of loud children, and our room was next to the staff cleaning room. The breakfast had a good selection and freshly squeezed orange juice

First night sink drain broke and we couldn’t use it. Soaked floor from the water leak. The front desk could not assist sue to no building engineer present. The sink drain was replaced next morning. Hotel offered a one night refund but it was issued to Expedia. Have not heard from Expedia or have any proof of refund. Hotel said I had to check with Expedia. Not a great experience.
