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.

Elegant stay with perfect location

Wonderful location and incredible breakfast. It’s right at the city center so you can walk to shops, cafes, restaurants, and the port! Some tours will pick up directly from the hotel and they are willing to help you book a tour if needed. The staff is friendly and helpful, ready to serve. They provided a welcome gift during our stay. The breakfast is divine with many food options

Class act

We were contacted by Samaria Hotel thanking us for choosing to stay at Samaria Hotel. The hotel communicated with us to see when we were arriving to ensure our room would be ready. We arrived 30 minutes before their check in time but were able to check into our hotel. We were even given an upgraded room. The breakfast buffet was impressive and delicious. Definitely the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had during our 3 weeks in Greece. Everyone working there are consummate professional. Piano player in the lounge (couple nights a week ) was a nice touch as well. The resident cats were very well behaved and gave it a homey feel. Voula, client services agent, was very helpful during the check in process and provided valuable information and directions. We will return in the future.

Perfect location and amenities

Really great hotel with attentive staff, beautiful reception area and pool, comfortable rooms and excellent location. The main part of Chania old town is 5 minutes walk away, with tons of amenities handy. Breakfast was a highlight too! Only negative was that there is very limited poolside space, and it was often a battle to get in early enough for a deckchair, which was a little stressful. But if you got one, the poolside was very relaxing and enjoyable. We also did an excursion organised by the hotel to a local olive oil farm and winery, which was excellent. Highly recommended hotel!
