If staying in the old town,this hotel couldn't be more central for beach, restaurants,cafes all on the doorstep.Georgios the proprietor was very helpful in recommending the best places to go and also organising airport collection.The actual hotel was very historical,but with all mod cons in the room.On the whole a fantastic stay

The hotel is perfectly placed for seeing all of the old port and we had a room that looked onto the port itself. No review, however, can fail to mention the now-legendary George, whose family has owned this place for decades and who offers wonderful recommendations for restaurants and beaches and other not-to-be-missed sites. Actually it was a young woman at the desk (whose name I sadly didn’t catch) who recommended we switch our planned visit to Elifonissi beach to Falasarna. Brilliant! Turns out the latter is the secret favorite of the locals—and, man, was it great. All in all a top notch experience and to no small degree because of this homey, attractive and unpretentious hotel and its staff.

Cosy and friendly hotel right in the heart of old port Chania. Staff Georgios was very polite and helpful. When we arrived at the hotel he had prepared a map for us with personal recommendations of locations for dinner, drinks, breakfast and other activities such as the nearby beach. If we had any questions regarding places to go, words in Greek or anything else, he was always happy to help. The room service was also great, well cleaned with each day new towels, coffee or tea, water bottles and soap/ schampoo. Unfortunately we chose a room on the floor without the ocean view. Still next time we will choose one with a view for that extra feeling. Still, the ocean is literally a 1 minute walk away.

Giorgios was amazing, he went above and beyond to ensure my stay and experience in Chania was full of Cretan hospitality. He was a prompt and excellent communicator. A lovely young man😊🇬🇷

The view from our windows over the curving harbour of Chania was outstanding! Many photos were taken of the water and shore sites and activities of this beautiful scene! Georgio and Teresa were wonderful hosts. Georgio helped us up to the top floor with our heavy luggage and then spent quite a bit of time describing best restaurants for various meals and times day. He is quite proud of Chania and Helena Hotel. We had a wonderful time and look forward to staying at the Helena Hotel next time we’re in Chania! *****

The location is great, though it can be a little difficult to find on first arrival. The staff is very, very helpful. The free parking is on the street or in public lots nearby.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay here. The hotel is well situated and we had a lovely view of the harbor. Room was spotlessly clean with thoughtful amenities including coffee, comfortable bed, fridge, safe etc. George was so helpful and gave us some great suggestions as well as answering my curious questions about life on Crete. We felt safe and comfortable here and would highly recommend for a stay in Chania.

숙소주변은 새벽까지 사람이 많아 으슥하지 않습니다. 밤늦게까지 돌아다니기 좋고 있을거 다 있어요. 객실은 조금 오래되었으나 깨끗하고 깔끔합니다. 가장 좋은건 창문으로 바다가 보입니다. 저렴한 가격에 가성비 좋아요. 직원과 사장님은 너무 친절했습니다. 영어를 못해 대화는 안통했지만 마주칠때마다 재밌게 놀고있냐고 물어봐주셨어요. 가성비있는 호텔로 추천합니다
