Lena and her husband, including the two staff,were very kind and hospitable during our stay. The only thing i would suggest is to vary the breakfast as it was all the same everyday, Overall the hotel has a strategic location, 15 mins from the airport by car, near a Lidl and had bus stops nearby

Lena and Ilias gave the most warm welcome! The hotel was so quaint and beautiful views. So close to the old town and very amazing breakfast! Definitely would recommend for anyone but especially first timers they gave us so much insight on the island and even gave us a ride from the airport and to a beach club:)

Ideal base to explore Western Crete

Overlooking the Agean sea and the old city of Chania this place is true gem. Small family ran affair, with large rooms, good breakfast and amazing views. Slept with windows open, no problems with noise. 30min walk to the city center or 5 min drive. Kind, extremely helpfull host!

I couldn't reccomend a better hotel. The staff were lovely, they were happy to help us with anything and everything that we needed for our trip. They told us the best places to eat for authentic food. Showing us their favourite restaurants and cafes. The breakfast in the morning was fresh and delicious. Tea and coffee available at any time of the day and home baked cake. The hotel was clean and the balcony view was fantastic. If you are looking for something authentic i couldn't reccomend this place more.

Lovely simple hotel with spectacular views of Chania and endless sea. The owners are the most welcoming wonderful people one could ever meet on the trip. Perfect breakfast on the terrace. We had a bottle of nice wine in the fridge waiting for us too. Would mind to come back again and again. Thanks so much Lena and Ilia for including us to Chania and your wonderful sincere hospitality.

We had a spectacular time at Akrotiri Hotel. The hospitality was above and beyond. Breakfast included every morning and high quality. Lena and her husband were incredibly welcoming. The room was very clean and well maintained. The tile in the bathroom was beautiful and the shower itself was wonderful. Now for the view. We were told we would have a panoramic view and we couldn’t have had anything more beautiful to wake up to. The terrazzo was also well maintained and enjoyable to sit on in the mornings. We had a drying rack for clothing which was helpful. The bus is very close to the hotel and was convenient to get on and off of. Lena’s husband offered to drive us to town a few times which was extremely generous. Again, above and beyond hospitality. When they say arrive as a guest, leave as a friend, they mean it. When I have the chance to return, we will absolutely be staying at Hotel Akrotiri.
