We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming team for our engagement holiday. From the moment we booked the holiday the whole experience was brilliant, we were truly treat like family. Gorgeous views from the rooftop infinity pool and bar, comfortable beds and modern fresh rooms. Perfectly located inbetween the old town and Nea Chora Beach, we were never stuck for things to do. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our visit to Chania so special, we will definitely be returning.

Our stay at SanSal Hotel was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Harris. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with genuine warmth and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations were spot-on, and his kindness made us feel like we were staying with a friend, not just at a hotel. The hotel itself is modern, spotless, and perfectly located—beautiful rooms with stunning views. But it’s the exceptional service, especially from Harris, that truly sets SanSal apart. Thank you for everything, Harris—we can’t wait to return!

The location of the hotel was very close to restaurants and local attractions. We reserved a upgraded room with a private pool on the balcony. The pool was unusable. The pool was not clean, leaking, and has many dead flies. The room had a bad sewage smell that lingering throughout our stay.

SanSal is such a lovely place to stay. My boyfriend and I stayed for just over a week and had such a wonderful time. The room was excellent and the hotel itself is great. The breakfast was lovely, loads of options! It’s a really quick walk to get to the harbour or to the beach and there are loads of dining options nearby. The staff at the hotel are just lovely - they really seem to want you to have a great stay and have great knowledge of the area. I’d definitely stay again!
