The manager and staff really want to ensure you are happy here. The breakfast is good and the pool and beach are amazing. I do think the rooms need a bit of a face lift but the food in the restaurant is also good. It’s a bit far but there’s a bus you can take to the bus station. Overall good stay

The hotel is nice. Not wonderful. It won't take your breath away. But it's nice. It overlooks the sea. As far as I could tell, each room had a small balcony with a table and two chairs; my room and balcony faced the Mediterranean. They serve dinner, and there's another taverna just a few hundred meters down the road. There's not much in the way of stores or mini-markets nearby, so do your stocking-up before you arrive. I chose this hotel mainly because I had an early morning flight to take and I did not want to battle Chania traffic to get to the airport. THE LENA BEACH HOTEL IS A MERE 8 MINUTES FROM THE AIRPORT ON EMPTY ROADS. That mattered most to me. If you need to catch a flight and are nervous about the possibility of unexpected traffic delays, stay at the Lena, and you'll easily, relaxedly, make your flight.

Wonderful sea view from the restaurant/bar, and from most rooms/ balconies. Lovely pool. Lovely beach with safe bathing. I just wish the hotel would restore the shortcut pathway to the beach. It is unusable now, so one has to walk along a busy bending road with no pavement/sidewalk to get to the beach.

Pretty good but needs a face lift

The rooms are more worn out than in the pictures. Clean and comfy though. The street noise was quite bad even during the night. Customer service that we got in the reseption was very nice but the restaurant staff seemed very busy and unhappy. Breakfast was better than expected. Location is perfect close to the airport and next to a lovely beach. Ate some fabulous seafood at the restaurant next door.

Even though it was not the most modern or newest hotel but it was very clean and everything worked. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was the tastiest in our whole trip in Crete (and we went to multiple others during the trip).

The property was very clean and quiet. The rooms all have excellent views. The food in the restaurant is exceptional and the breakfast included has a wide variety. The staff are all very nice but Mary at the front desk is very friendly and helpful - and she does this in four languages. She is a large part why we had such a great stay.

Hands down the best hotel in the area. Hidden gem to the north with an amazing view of the Mediterranean. A beach, store, and restaurant all within walking distance. Not to mention the hotel restaurant and bar are both amazing. Great service and friendly staff. Pool was average but very clean and a nice patio. Seems great for kids as well. Highly recommend for couples, families, or groups of friends.
