A hotel right in the centre of everything, yet the location is rather quiet. Very clean hotel and very accommodating staff. A definite recommendation.

I thought El Greco was excellent value. Efficient service and very clean hotel

Location is excellent, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Breakfast was good, the basics. The only drawback is that our room was quite small.

The room was small for three people but still a fantastic place. It was our second visit in five years. Great location. I highly recommend

I could not understand the air conditioning system

Can't wait to visit again!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at El Greco in Chania. It was a further walk from the bus station than I anticipated but less than 10minutes overall and allowed me to traverse Chania Old Town on the way. Situated on one of the most chic streets in the old town, you'll be within walking distance of the city's most photographed sites. Very clean & well-maintained Very helpful desk staff- great restaurant recommendations!

Exceptional Staff, with professional and friendly attitude.

Good hotel - Ideal location

Ideal location for the old port. Warm and friendly locally owned hotel. Free parking close by. No complaints.

Very centric. Close to the port and the restautants in down town. Very pinturesque. Nice staff.

El Greco has an excellent location. Near everything anyone would like to see. Decent breakfast included.

The breakfast is very good. The hotel is right in the old town but away from a lot of commotion. We had trouble with the air conditioner but staff were able to fix it right away. I’m finding that booking through Expedia the room selection is usually not as good as directly booking with the hotel. Last time I booked through the hotel website and we got a room with a balcony view over the street. This time we got a back room with a view of a wall. Not happyn it’s Expedia. Rates might be good but you get dumped into a bad room.

Great location

This hotel is in a great location, shops and restaurants and the old port are close by. The Nea Chora beach is less than 15 min walk away. There is an excellent bakery opposite the hotel. We had a lovely room on the 3rd floor and it overlooked the street and partial view of the sea. Thank you to Flora and Aphrodite for keeping our room clean. Only downside was an uncomfortable mattress and a small bathroom. Also if you want to hire a car, parking is very difficult as it is very busy around that area. Breakfast was continental style and was available until 10:30. Thank you to the wonderful reception staff Effie and Katerina for being very friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you very much to Nikos the night staff who sorted out the television problem when it went wrong. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to returning and seeing the newly renovated El Greco next year. Thank you once again to everyone for a very pleasant stay. We highly recommend the El Greco.

Accessible stay or NOT.

Fabulous area. The hotel claimed to be “accessible” but had two steps into the hotel and the lift was too small to fit a manual wheelchair. They did give me a downstairs room but I was unable to go to breakfast as that was down stairs. Great hotel but it is not accessible.

Lovely traditional hotel

Lovely traditional hotel in one of the prettiest streets in Chania. Lovely staff& good breakfasts. Would definitely recommend.

Cosy hotel in the old town close to all attraction

This place is by far the worst place, I have ever stayed at. The internet is so horrible you might not even have it. The rooms came with no irons, so my clothes were wrinkled during my stay. The breakfast isn't really much. I grabbed my breakfast out in town.

Perfect location to explore Chania

This was a 5 star stay because of the perfect location on the West part of old town Chania. The hotel is located about a block inside old town which made its Chania alley location fabulous. It’s just a block away from the water and public (free and safe) parking. The front desk staff person was welcoming and helpful. Locked luggage storage if you need that. We had the trim with a terrace. The room comfort was fine. Wonderful breakfast and coffee. We loved exploring Chania!

Good for Price

Nice breakfast. Room on the smaller side. Washroom outdated with musky shower curtain but good for a short stay.

Comfortable, centrally located in Old Town

We were very comfortable in this hotel and had a 4th floor room with rooftop balcony. Elevator went only to 3rd floor, so the upper rooms are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. Also, had to find our own parking a number of blocks away. Being right in the Old Town was very convenient, and made having a car there unnecessary. Would definitely stay here again.

Cute and Local

Very cute hotel in the center of town. Directly across from a delicious bakery. Parking is not so easy, but available in the area nearby. Short walking distance from the harbor and all sights. Beautiful sunset and views from the rooftop terrace.

Great charming place.

We loved our stay at EL Greco. As soon as we got there, the staff was super friendly and helpful. This hotels location is perfect. The Harbour and light house are super close, and no matter if you make a left or right into the alleys, you will find a charming little corner. I highly recommended. The only thing I didn't like were the beds because the mattress was too hard.

Good location, but so very loud. All the doors slam and voices echo in the tiled hallways, reverberating through you at all hours of the night. Shower is very awkwardly small.

Happy stay!

Location of the hotel was ideal - 10 min to harbor (old town, full of restaurants and shops) and 10 min to the beach. Hotel stuff were lovely and local people were charming. Just to let you know - if you book a taxi from the hotel there is extra charge of 3 euro. Taxi fare from the airport to the hotel was 23 euro. Hotel room didn't had any coffee/ tea making facilities but there is lovely cafe across the hotel serving Greek coffee for 2 euro.

Nice hotel

excellent view. very quite place to stay. staff is very attentive and responsive for anything. breakfast was awesome.

Off season, but the staff was helpful and considerate of my requests. The bathroom is very basic but the rooftop pattio makes up for it, a little.

Great view, not so great room

The room was on the fifth floor. It was only accesible via staircase from the fourth floor. Once on the fifth floor, you have to go through a large balcony/patio to get to the top two rooms. The view is amazing from there. At night it is windy, though, and the lighting is not good. I went in spring and the room was very cold. There was no heater, and no extra blankets. The bathroom seemed improvised, and the shower was horrible: small, no curtain, no pressure, and lukewarm water. The staff was not very helpful at reception, not giving many tips on sightseeing or local adventures. The best thing is its location. It is at a perfect distance from everything. (20min walk to the bus station).

The hotel was great to stay in. It is clean and well maintained. Would book again.

Very good location and facility quality

The staff were helpful and well mannered. The location and price were great. The breakfast was a joy.

Solo traveller

I spent 4 nights in this hotel as a base to visit surrounding places in Western Crete and felt really comfortable and well located, on the quiet and charming side of the Old Town yet very close to everything and literally 10 min walk from the central station, not even 5 to the port and sea front through a maze of enchanting narrow alleyways. In fact, it was not easy to find this hotel, although once you do, you realize it is actually pretty straightforward.......!!!! Service was good, friendly and welcoming, breakfast rich, room and bathroom basic, but clean and with character. I did get a room with an amazing roof terrace, which I did not want to leave!! Also, if you do not have a car, ask at reception to see what's on offer re organised tours to Gramvousa-Balos, Samaria Gorge, etc if you are after no-brainers.

good location

Comfortable hotel in a central location very near port and it's many restaurants. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were of adequate size and air conditioner,toilet and shower all functioned properly. On a walk street with much character,outdoor dining and shops. Would recommend to others.

Okay hotel in old part of Chania

Breakfast good though limited. Good AC and water pressure. No good beach near hotel. Chania it self sucks. TOO MANY PEOPLE . If you like Times Square on New Years, go to Chania.

Basic hotel in a great location

I spent a week at the El Greco on my own in June 2015. The room (106) was quite small but was OK for 1 - it would probably feel crowded for a two people. The room window faces onto a wall so there is not much light into it, but this also means that there is no direct sunlight hence the room did not get too hot. The air-con is quite basic but effective enough - the room never got cold, but I was able to sleep, etc. The bathroom was quite cramped, but everything in it worked well enough. (But note that the shower area is very small and larger-sized people will find it difficult.) The breakfasts were basic but were OK for me - I only eat small basic breakfasts anyway. The facilities in this hotel are very limited - there are the rooms, the breakfast room, a small lobby area with a few seats and the lobby, which is staffed 24 hours. There is no general air-conditioning. This all sounds like I'm being negative, but I'm not. There are significant pluses:- it is inexpensive, and above all it is well-sited - just a couple of minutes' stroll down to Chania harbour front or into the Old Town. The building itself is old and characterful. The staff were friendly and helpful when I needed to ask them for something. They all spoke good english. The room was perfectly clean. Towels were replaced a couple of times during the week, the bedding wasn't. To summarise, it's a budget hotel in a great location which delivers on what it promises.

happy days

IT was greet the staff was so freindly and helpful.we will stay again.

1-night stay

Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, good local and continental breakfast.

Friendly hotel

We stayed here for several nights in January. The room was plain but clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Good continental breakfast. In the summer the rooms on the street may be noisy.

Friendly small hotel with plenty of character

I stayed at El Greco in Chania for a total 9 nights comprising two visits in two different rooms, one before and one after attending a conference in Crete. I was very pleased with my stay there. The air conditioning in the rooms provided a welcome break from the heat outside. It is in a good location in the old part of Chania easy to walk to all the main attractions in the City and yet reasonably quiet. It is an old building and each room has its own character. There was a generous buffet breakfast. After checking out I was able to leave my bags in a locked room until I set off for the airport. I would definitely stay there again.

Enjoyed stay would recommend

Good location in town, Had third floor room at back overlooking walls No private balcony but use of balcony at front and roof terrace. Room was quiet and confortable except for slight noise from pump in next building . Did not have breakfast so can not comment. Reception always manned and staff helpful Would stay again

Extremely impressed

Great value, spacious room, ideal location, very friendly staff. Would highly recommend to someone wanting a great atmosphere on a budget.

Front Desk Troubles

After staying outside of Chania, we switched hotels for the remainder of our trip to be closer to downtown. While the location is great, nothing else was. The first hotel we stayed in was 5 star compared to here. First, off the rooms are tiny. There was barely enough room to navigate around the bed and no place for the suitcase besides the top of the fridge. The double room is two twins pushed together (typical Europe). The beds were hard as rocks and the pillows were barely even worth sleeping on. And the bathroom was so small that the door couldn't be opened all of that way because it hit the toliet. The small bathroom also didn't allow for much airflow, so it was constantly humid. Maybe if the fan could be left on all day that would not be an issue. But seeing as how all electricity gets turned off when you leave the room because the key contains the magnet which turns it on, the fan cannot stay on. Speaking of the key, I had a major issue with not being allowed to keep it when you left the hotel. They make you turn it into the desk if you are going to be gone. And when you return, you have to ask for it but no one verifies that you are the one getting the key for your room. Totally unsafe. Anyone could walk in, see the rooms keys (they are in plain sight) and ask for one. The person at the desk changes all of the time, so no one really knows if you are staying there or not. And my final complaint has to do with the desk person. The morning I went to check out, the person behind the desk didn't speak English. And not only did he not speak English but he did not know how to use the credit card machine or computer, so checking out was awful! There are a lot of hotel choices in downtown Chania, so choose something other than the El Greco!

Quaint Cozy Hotel in Old Town Chania

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel in Old Town Chania. The hotel is towards the quieter part of the harbour in the North West area in Theotokopoulus. My room was very large and situated on the 1st floor. There is a small patio with a clothesline and you can do some hand laundry. The room is clean and has 2 large twin beds.This is a beautiful part of town, with many tavernas. There are 2 minimarts right outside the hotel. A shallow beach area is within 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. Internt connection is sketchy, but if you have a netbook, Starbucks has free wireless internet for 2hrs. I paid cash at check out since you will be charged for service fee if paid by credit card.

Very good. Near the center city

Bel hôtel idéalement situé !

Accueil agréable, très belle chambre propre et confortable et excellent petit déjeuner. À proximité du port - parking gratuit à proximité.

We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff was really nice, the room clean and comfortable . The location is perfect to visit all the city.

Das Check-IN hat sich um ca. 40min verspätet, was nicht sein sollte. Das Check-OUT verlief reibungslos und schnell. Das Standardzimmer war schön und das Badezimmer war groß mit vielen vom Hotel zur Verfügung gestellten Hygieneartikeln. Das Zimmer war leider direkt im Erdgeschoss and der Straße situiert, das Stimmen gut hörbar gemacht hat. Die Dusche im fast rechteckigen Badezimmer ist leider komplett offen, weshalb das Badezimmer schnell überall auf dem Boden nass wird, wenn man als große Person duscht. Das Personal ist nur teilweise zufriedenstellend gewesen: a) einmal gab es eine sehr nette Dame, die einem gute Spots in der Stadt Chania auf einer Karte eingezeichnet hat sowie einen großen Geldschein in mehrere kleine Geldscheine gewechselt hat. b) Es gab eine Dame, die einfach ins Zimmer kam, obwohl das Zimmer bereits vor 2h fertig gemacht wurde. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass sie sich vorher angekündigt hat, was ich aufgrund meiner Kopfhörer nicht gehört habe, aber sie hat mir nicht mitteilen, was ihre „Mission“ war.

Koselig hotell midt i en hyggelig gågate. Deilig frokost, gode senger. Rent rom og regndusj på badet.Fin takterasse. Anbefales!

Would go again

Loved it, staff very nice and helpful. Breakfast offering was a bit narrow but moves hunger for a while. ;) room was cleab and nice!

perfekt für kurzen Städtetrip

kleines sauberes Hotel, etwas abgewohnt aber sehr sauber und ruhig. Wir hatten leider nur Zimmer zur Rückseite und schauten auf eine Mauer. Die Dachterrasse ist sehr schön, ur sehr heiss. Leider keine Schattenspender. Freundliches Personal. Frühstück gut und völlig ausreichend. Um für 3 Tage die Altstadt zu erkunden perfekt.

Super hotel

Det car bare en fornøjelse at være der, dejligt personale, dejligt hotel og beliggenhed

特に問題なし。静かで落ちついていた。

Dachterrasse ist der Hammer, da hat den besten Blick über die Stadt.
