The location is excellent, being in front of the beach (nea chora) and close to the old town of Chania (15min walk). The facilities are good, breakfast is simple and the staff extra helpful and friendly. Especially Michalis was very welcoming and helpful by giving really good suggestions for food, travel, etc. We will be visiting again for sure.

One of our best sellers in Chania! The family-run Danaos offers a friendly and relaxed base in the heart of Chania, just a short walk from Chania’s Venetian harbor and right next to the beautiful sandy beach of Nea Chora.

There are various room sizes available, to suit the needs of solos, couples and groups or families. Some rooms have a spacious balcony with views of Chania Town or the Cretan Sea.

Guest can enjoy a good start to the day with a continental breakfast in Danaos’ charming breakfast room.

The owners of Danaos are available for any requests or sightseeing tips needed and will also arrange car or bike rentals. Many restaurants and taverns can be found in the surrounding area.

This is our guests' favorite part of Chania, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

Our only complaint was the wi-fi which was very patchy in our room, we struggled to get it to work.
Excellent hotel! We were on the second floor and had a sea view, walk to old city takes 15-20mins along the waterfront. Great continental breakfast, friendly staff and all amenities in the room.

Danaos Hotel is a really good place for visiting Chania centre (15 minutes walk) and also for making round trips in western Crete. The receptionist (owner?) was really nice and helpful. We had a balcony with an amazing view of a sea and a sunset. A big plus was a dedicated parking space for the hotel.

My family stays in this hotel since many years. Staff does not change since ages and these amazingly open-hearted people do everything for you to feel at home. I had one of the very nice renovated rooms, which was cleaned every day, the location of the hotel is next to the best beaches in Chania and just 15-20 min walk from the city center. Art Cafe belonging to the hotel is a very nice place to spend some hours having some fantastic Greek coffee staring at the sea. I really love it there.

Room was clean and smell so good every day of our staying which is very important, especially in Greece; cleaning ladies were changing towels every day and keeping room so fresh. Bathroom is new and wonderful. Transport to the aerport arranged by hotel - 25 EUR, fast and safe-other taxists tend to cheat you (for drive that should cost max 3 eur we paid 8.50 eur)

The room is small for 2 adults and 1 child. A bit noisy in the morning.
Position, on the beach, not far from Chania Old town. Plenty of good tavernas around. Was good for a short stay. You can have the breakfast on the terrace just in front of the sea.
