Alkion is modest, peaceful, cozily attractive, well kept ja clean hotel just few minutes walk away from the beach and bus stops. Pool area is private and sheltered by meters high oleanders. Our stay was at the end of the season, so hotel was very quiet and there was no breakfast available at the premises - not a problem ’cause water boiler & fridge in the room made it easy enough to have our own breakfast at the balcony (close by grocery store and cafeteria opened bright and early). Even tho’ staff wasn’t at the premises all the time, manager was just phone call away and arrived to the reception on a short notice if needed. Please read until the very end: Because of our flight schedules our arrival/departing times were very late - just before midnight - we were able to pickup our room key & info conveniently from a lockbox outside the hotel main door and finalize our check-in in the morning after. With this in mind, we had also agreed on a late check-out at 6pm when leaving the last evening of our stay. Unfortunately our last day started to look pretty glooming… we were told the evening before that hotel will be closed in the morning (because of power & water had been preset to be cut off) and we would need to leave never mind the earlier agreement. Now… this is customer service: To honor our previous agreement, hotel manager arranged us a room for the day at the next door hotel for luggage keeping and showering before departure! Thank you Manolis for your quick thinking and exceptional service!!

Accommodation was very good and staff was also very nice and hospitable. There was only one problem with the shower which was solved immediately. I am very satisfied. There was also a parking place. You can also have breakfast nearby in a café for 6,50€. Everything was great there too. Thank you

rooms that have not been renovated for years, fridge that literally freezes food, covid restrictions that are dubious to me [e.g. pool closed for 15 hours for sanitization whereas Greek covid law says only about regularity, not length]

good price, helpful host with good English, small but clean pool, presence of parking, beach & numerous restaurants nearby

unfortunately the noise of the loud motors from the nearby street during the evening was disturbing when we kept the window open.

we had the option to choose between firm and soft mattress and we chose the firm one and it was great for our back. The fridge and the mirror in the room was helpful. The owner was helpful and kind and he even arranged our transfer to the hotel next door at his expense due to the renovation works in his hotel. We hope Alkion hotel will be beautiful after the renovation.

The bed was uncomfortable, It made a noise every time you moved and the cupboards were stinking of sweat that I couldn't hang my clothes in. The pillows were flat and smelly and my bathroom wasn't cleaned properly. The door handle was broken.The accommodation was very noisy...no peace and enjoyment.

The pool area was nice and the hotel manager was good to.The outside area under the shaded pergola was good.

The owner was very helpful when he heard we wanted to rent a car and he contacted the rental company Traffic. It is not recommended to do this. We ended up renting a car that had driven more than 160,000 km for a top price of €560. At the same time, we had to pay in cash because the card terminal was broken. It smells far away of scams and extra fees and definitely cannot be recommended. We got the impression that the friendliness and hospitality was mostly for their own gain - not to help you as a tourist. An answer to the reply from the hotel Your memory isn't that good - your answer shows that you should try as a poet!

It is a cozy hotel with a good atmosphere, but it is old and badly in need of a thorough renovation. The rooms are relatively small, there is a fridge and a balcony. The mattresses are very hard and the toilet does not work properly - you have to lift the whole lid to flush. The cleaning was top notch and the room was always nicely cleaned and the beds made - super service. The hotel is in a nice area with many restaurants, close to the beach and not as many tourists as Chania itself.

Manolis the owner of the hotel, was extremely helpful, advising me, where to catch local bus, to explore other areas, and recommended a local restaurant. If i needed anything for the room, I only had to ask, friendly and welcoming. I would definitely return.

the bed is too soft, and the room cleaning didn’t give us new towels.

the location is nice, such a great value for a hotel with a swimming pool, and the staff is super friendly.

Our stay in Alkion Hotel was fantastic. We immediately felt at home, the atmosphere is really pleasant and the place is exceptional. If you are looking for a quiet retreat where you can relax a stone's throw from the sea, this is the right place for you. The hotel is well connected to the port of chania with buses that run every 10/15 minutes and the beaches of Agia marina and Platanias 5/10 minutes in the opposite direction. Restaurants and supermarkets are everywhere and offer many options for vegetarians and vegans as well. Alkion also offers excursion packages to all the most famous places in the area: Elafonissi, Balos, Samaria and they directly come to pick you up in front of the hotel. For any need, the owner Manolis is always at your disposal with professionalism,respect and lots of kindness 😊 We highly recommend this place!
