My room has a very good view of the Venetian habour. George and Ilissa are extremely helpful and friendly helping me to know the nearby area, restaurants and attractions. The location of the hotel is perfect for fist timer. It is mid point between the Venetian port and Nea Chora Beach. 10 – 15 minutes walk to other major attractions and the Central bus station.

Much appreciated, and many thanks.

Me and my wife stayed at Helena Hotel during our visit to Chania.
It was a great hotel which had a perfect location with everything within walking distance.
Clean and tidy hotel with good sized rooms. Bedrooms with the Chania harbour view are amazing and beautiful.
Staff who were a father and son team were excellent, extremely helpful, polite, welcoming, pleasant and accommodating who went the extra mile to assist us.
I Would definitely stay at Helena Hotel again I would highly recommend Helena Hotel.
Thank you for your kindness and assistant.

In a great location for exploring Chania, the harbour is less than a minutes walk, as is the town, but you wouldn't know it. The owner and his son were very friendly and gave us lots of good advice on where to visit and great restaurants to eat at. Thank you for making our stay so welcome.
The room was cleaned every day with clean towels every other day. We had the first floor room without views, but were out all day and evening so this did not bother us.

Cute Hotel
Fabulous location, adorable hotel room. We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room had a view of the bay and waterfront area in Old Town. Bed was a little hard and I could hear some noise from outside in the distance.

Terrible noise
No complaints about the hotel itself or the staff but for two out of three of the nights we stayed here there was incredibly loud music with a thumping bass coming from one of the bars across the harbour until 5 or 6am. This made it impossible to sleep and basically ruined our stay in what was a lovely hotel with a great view. When we complained to the staff they were very concerned but said they could do nothing about it.

Pleasant hotel in historic part ofChania, owned by the family for over 100 years. Well located in a quiet street just off the bustling heart of the city,so convenient for everything including a quiet siesta to restore energy levels.

Great value hotel in a lovely location
Great little hotel in a lovely spot in Chania's Old Town. Bit tough to find (make sure to type the name of the hotel into your map app, the street address and postcode take you somewhere close by but not quite there!). Very reasonably priced, facilities at the basic end of things but a couple of the friendliest owners I've ever met. My only complaint is the in-room fridge was quite noisy when the compressor kicked in and out, but otherwise all good.
