10/10 Exceptional

Nice large rooms, amazing views of the whole city from the room and the pool. Lovely shuttle service to the downtown core and back. Wonderful breakfast to start the day. The breakfast alone in most cities would be $30 to $40 euros per person, thats how good it was. The restaurant also had lovely food at night, with a 5 star view, and amazing prices overall.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing amenities and services offered by this hotel, can't beleive everything that was included in the price. Truly a bargain. The swimming pool overlooking the city, was an amazing place to relax. The shuttle running into the city every 30 minutes was super convenient and allowed us to be in the hustle and bustle of the city whenever we wanted and then quickly escape. The cherry on top was the breakfast with the view. Best breakfast we had while in Greece for 3 weeks. Can't believe it was included, my wife and I would have paid $20 to $30 euros for that breakfast per person, and still would have considered it a super bargain. Truly better food and view than some breakfasts I have had in London or Paris, where we spent upwards of $100 euros.

This is our third stay at this hotel. It is excellent, the staff are so friendly and professional. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast was excellent as well, with a lot of choices. The view over Chania from our room which was very comfortable, with a large balcony was fantastic.

Gorgeous pool with an amazing view but the room was grotty with peeling paint and in need of an overhaul. Despite that, the bed was comfy, great breakfast and a fantastic pool with amazing views and lovely staff. One or two nights would be ok it just needs a bit of tlc

8/10 Very good

Amazing hotel, would recommend the rooms with balcony as the view of Chania is insane. Very helpful staff. Regular quick free bus service in and out of town. Tours easily booked from reception. Incredible breakfast. Staff helpful. Lovely pool and sun lounger area. Good restaurant with beautiful view of Chania and sunset attached to hotel. Only complaint would be thin walls and due to the restaurant being above the rooms, the sound of the chairs and tables being moved around from 6am till 11pm is incredibly loud and disturbed sleep. An easy solution would be for the hotel to put felt covers under the furniture legs to avoid the dragging sound on the floor. Also there are lots of friendly healthy looking street cats around the hotel which are treated well. Sadly they drink from the pool which cant be good them so would suggest the hotel keeps a water point topped up for them. All in all - a lovely stay and would recommend.

The staff were absolutely amazing, very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is at the top of a hill and a little far out from the town, however there is a shuttle service from the hotel from early morning till late every 30 mins to take you into town. The town offers some amazing restaurants with a view and if you don’t mind a stroll - some of the fish restaurants by the harbour were superb! The restaurant in the hotel is lovely too for days you don’t want to venture out! The hotel itself is quiet and the pool is a really good size - again with some beautiful sea views . We would definitely stay here again!

The reception staff were absolutely delightful, they had free transport which was easy to book, although I did not use I feel like this was an amazing idea for people who did not want to worry about parking or car rentals. The hotel looked very modern and brand new, the area was lovely and I would definitely come back. To improve they should not allow people to put their towels on the sun-bed and leave it there for hours unattended, it is unfair for the other guests and ruins the experience. The breakfast was good, and once again the staff hospitality was great. Thank you royal sun we will be back.
