Below we have chosen beautiful small guesthouses in the old town for every budget.
Villa Venezia, with a fantastic location directly overlooking Chania harbour, this small family-run pension represents good value for the old quarter of Chania, with cafes and shopping at your doorstep.
The sounds from the outdoor cafés and tavernas can be a little loud in summer, and this is a very heavily booked part of Chania in the busy season, so book ahead. There are only four rooms available, so you get individual service.
Madonna Studios are located behind the Maritime Museum, close to the beautiful Venetian harbour yet in the quiet back streets at Antoniou Gamba 33. This is a homely place that is comfortable to come back to after a long day’s walking.
A small family-run place with only 5 rooms, you will certainly get personal service here from friendly owner Thomais. The original building dates back to 1252, rooms have balconies and plenty of light.
Pension Eva is tucked into the quieter back streets of the old quarter, a little away from the hustle and bustle, yet surrounded by interesting art and jewellery boutiques.
This is a lovely little pension with only four rooms and a relaxing rooftop lounge, in a beautifully renovated characteristic building. Pension Eva represents very good value for the popular old quarter of Chania. In walking distance from the limani, the maritime museum and located right on Zambeliou Street.
Hotel Helena is a small hotel of seven rooms with views over the harbour in old Chania town. The owner is very helpful and these rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is sublime, the blue harbour twinkles so close and the cafés beckon. This hotel again represents very good value in Chania and local character. Good accommodation in Crete.
Casa Delfino. This former mansion dates from 17th century. It has been restored and converted into an exclusive hotel with exquisite taste. From the mosaic in the courtyard, to the rooftop terrace with beautiful view over Chania harbour, everything is quality at Casa Delfino. Tucked in behind the harbour amongst the narrow street of old Chania, the Delfino is a twist and a turn only from the harbour with its endless ribbon of cafes and tavernas by the waterfront.
