Samaria Hotel is very nice hotel to stay and within walking distance to most of tye shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and cozy. Unfortunately, some of the staff seemed unwilling to help when needed and my son was stopped from coming to our room upon his arrival.

Excellent location within a few minutes walking distance to the Venetian Port. One of the reasons I chose this hotel is that they have parking available and are so close to the area that can primarily be accessed on foot. The breakfast had a lot of Cretan food so it was a good introduction before venturing out. The shared outdoor and indoor sitting areas are very welcoming. The staff, including the valets, the front desk and the restaurant area, were super helpful and friendly. Would happily stay there again if I find myself in Chania.

We had an amazing stay at the Samaria. The staff are extremely accommodating, kind and welcoming. They let us store our baggage upon early arrival and also let us check out later due to a late flight. We use the 15 Euro per day parking valet which we found very easy as well. It’s also on a short (about 8 min walk) to old town and the lighthouse waterfront of Chania. Also the breakfast included in our stay was delicious with lots of options. I would stay again!

On arrival the reception staff were very helpful, explaining all we needed to know. We asked for a few extra bits in the room and help with the aircon and nothing was any problem they dealt with it all and very quickly. Everywhere seemed very clean. The staff at breaks were very polite and helpful and also made time to talk to people. Even down to when last day leaving we went to collect our bag/case and was told "we have showers if you wish yo get changed into different clothes for your flight " which we have never been offered before in hotels.
