Beautiful place and overlooking olde town harbor and restaurants. The room was the size of three rooms and had a large jacuzzi. The balcony was great to sit and people watch and watch the sunset. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Chania!

Our stay in Chania was the most memorable part of our two week trip to Greece and this hotel was part of that amazing experience! We had a clean, beautiful room with a port view in front and were able to step right into the alleys and excitement when we walked out the back. Breakfast was amazing and just a few short steps down a pretty alley from this hotel. Staff was all helpful and friendly. I would 100% recommend staying here! ♥️

Absolutely beautiful hotel in the most ideal location for a first time traveler like myself. All of the staff were very nice and helpful throughout my stay! I had a one bedroom king suite (3rd floor, so yes there are some stairs!) with a private balcony overlooking the harbor. Absolutely stunning views! The town itself is very walkable and the Elia sits from and center directly on the Chania Harbor! If you were looking at this hotel, don’t second-guess it and just book it you won’t regret it!
Hotel lobby/reception is located on the back side, opposite the harbor

Great choice for old town Chania Harbor stay.

Great place to stay on the old town harbor front. Everything was great, and even though we arrived late, they came back to check us in. Hot showers, comfy bed, and a balcony to watch the people on the harbor. We would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay. There is no parking close, but a garage and street parking is a few blocks away.
