Loved the style and feel of this boutique hotel. Super comfortable bed and playful artistic touches. We were only able to eat breakfast one morning during our stay, but they offered an amazing amount of well-prepared food in the courtyard, including crepes/pancakes filled with chocolate and bananas. Nikos gave us good advice about restaurants and exploring surrounding areas of Crete. While I had looked at other hotels closer to the water, we found Hotel Splanzia really well situated in relation to Chania's historic district.

We were very impressed with the property. We only stayed for 2 nights, but wished it were for a week. It was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities and more you would expect from a 5 star hotel. it has been recently renovated in a very modern and funky way. The property was a short walk to the main port, restaurant and shops. Our hosts were very welcoming and accomodating, and even let us have a late check out on our last day due to a late flight from Chania. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Crete.

The staff is amazing, anything you can ask them, they are super friendly. The hostel is pretty close to the city center (10-15min by walking), but for me was 30 minutes minimum because I preferred to walked near the sea and I always stayed there for some minutes to enjoy the view. 😁 Another thing about this property is that they arrange some trips to the famous and beautiful beaches (like Ballos) in Crete since it is pretty hard to get there by yourself. The garden is really nice and you just want to spend some time there.

The vacation season was just starting, so we got a very good deal that included a 2-room apartment with private pool and two extraordinary, tasty and generous meals. The staff was very friendly and willing to help. The architectural quality of the resort is a rare asset in Crete, and this hotel offers also amazing sea views from everywhere. They also provide access to a very clean beach downhill, where you get a parking space and seats. Honestly, we would stay here for a full week in the future if the deal is still available.

Family run hotel that is in a convenient location near the bus station. Crete has great bus service and it was easy to visit from Rethymno other parts of Crete. The owner, Stelios was amazing with his hospitality and he went out of his way to help us with anything that we needed. Very personable and down to earth. Pool was beautiful with a nice view of the sea, and there is a small beach area across the street from the hotel for swimming. All in all it was a great stay!

What a wonderful property. The roof deck affords an incredible view of Chania. And Magnolia gave us the VERY best recommendations for a stay! It's centrally located. Parking can be hard, but Manolis directed us to a free lot a 5 minute walk away. The place feels brand new and is beautifully designed. It was so much better than staying at a big hotel. We loved it and would stay there again! It was like having a modern luxury apartment in the middle of Crete.

Good no nonsense 'non-boutique' old school Hotel a short walk from the old Town in Chania and well placed for the bus station. Friendly staff, good breakfast, nice room, smallish bathroom, good value, a little dated but well managed and very good AC. Thankfully no bars or clubs nearby to keep you awake at night, unlike some hotels located in the old town. Recommended as a base to explore Chania on foot and Western Crete by the good local bus service

Over all, I was very impressed by the Hostel: new, modern, artistic details, the cleaness, high quality of the bed and the linens, the very friendly staffs, the location, and so on... I usually do not use hostels to travel all over the world, however, “Cocoon City Hostel” in Chania, Crete, was the best of all amongst I have experienced them recently. “Bravo!” to the owner. I would like to come back there soon, as soon as possible, indeed. Thank you very much!

The staff is amazing and we felt that they were genuinely happy that we were there. They were also so accommodating to our needs and helped us so much to find the best beaches and spots in Crete. We also LOVED the restaurant of the hotel. We have eaten there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We are having Dakos withdrawals.. Their homemade rose Raki was the best too. We bought some for us to bring back.

Stelios Penthouse is a gem in Rethymno Town, while you visiting Crete! Host is one of the friendliest people to meet, the apartment was stunning with a beautiful view to town and sea, only 5 min by foot to reach blue beach and the old town. It’s a must if you want to have a comfortable holidays with home feeling ! One word - amazing !!!!

The staff was very helpful and careful, the breakfasts was really good and we really enjoyed the pool as well. Location was amazing!! Few minutes from everything and everything was really close to the hotel :) It's recommended and we will come back for sure when we will be back in Crete

A great modern,new, stylish hotel with fabulous pool, the best breakfast in Crete, the choice was large and homemade cakes delicious. The rooms very comfortable with great beds, linen, bathrooms. A good position within walking distance to old town, castle and waterfront.

It was an unbelievable modern 3 Floor Apartment that makes staying in Hotels no longer seem worth it. The view was amazing and the neighbors were super friendly. I really cannot say anything bad about this place, best place I have stayed in Crete sofar.

Great location of the hotel, in our ”Cloe” room - amazing view of the snow-capped mountain (in Spring/April), updated room with excellent shower and tastefully decorated, true to Crete’s spirit of hospitality - very friendly and helpful staff

Yannis was very helpful in getting us checked in at 11PM. We arrived in Crete by ship which we did not know is a three hour drive to the hotel. The location is great if you want to see Balos Beach. The #1 beach in Greece and #5 in the world.

Wonderful little hotel in a perfect location right on the Venetian harbour. Everything one needs is within 2-min walk away. Good quality of beds for the price I paid. Slept like a baby. Will definitely stay here again when in Crete.

Amazing service by Debbie, great enthusiasm for the island of Crete and a desire to assist wit our trip that you very rarely see.. Apart from the exceptional hostess, the location and view from our apartment were standouts as well.

Probably the cleanest and best run hotel in all of Crete. Owners are hands on and extremely helpful, friendly and hospitable. If you don't like it here, you probably don't like the real Greece.

New private car park next to the hotel, 5 euro for 24 Hrs, excellent.First class cocktail bar on the roof with great views of Rethymno. Breakfast excellent value, they even had genuine Crete honey!

Walking out the hotel entrance to the beach was one of the best features. Our stay in Chania was the best of our time on Crete.
