The Porto Veniziano Hotel is absolutely perfect. Located at the western end of the harbour in Chania, it is perfectly located to access the entire waterfront with all the bustling restaurants and tavernas, as well as the Old Town with its winding alleys. The hotel is clean and bright and extremely well looked after with very friendly and helpful staff. Their Waterfront tables provide a lovely setting for breakfasts which are fabulous with a choice of hot breakfasts or a huge selection of cereals, fruits, bakery items, cold meats, yogurt and cheeses. The rooms are well proportioned and very well appointed, modern, clean and immaculate. I would happily stay there again.

This is truly THE place to stay in Chania, in my opinion. It's a very nice hotel, waterfront, amazing breakfast, great staff, walkable to tons of restaurants and shopping. SO FUN!!

I didn't pay extra for the water view, but we had a side tiny patio with a water view if you look sideways. I really loved this hotel.

We were starving when we arrived, and we were talked into eating at the restaurant right next to the hotel (the restaurant guy said they had amazing food - we weren't sure about that, but the beautiful waterfront tables were amazing). Well -- we had the BEST spaghetti bolognaise me and my sister have ever had. For $10 the serving was huge for both of us splitting. We actually went back the next night for more spaghetti. Great find!!!

The breakfast restaurant staff was awesome, as well as most of the front desk. Unfortunately, the first person we encountered seemed bothered by a request to see if we could get aroom earlier. We arrived very early and understood that it was a long shot.
However when we came back several hours later and asked if any update. We received a snarky remark that it would be ready at 3. Ok we get that. I said I thought maybe i missed a call since i was told we would be updated. We then proceeded to watch 3 other people get rooms prior to 3 pm. If they were part of a special hotel program I get it. Like a Marriott. However, family owned. My wife didn’t want to cause any drama but it did put a momentary damper on our 20th anniversary celebration. Beautiful hotel and location. Condescending behavior is not necessary. Bartenders were great too. very friendly and accommodating

The location is perfectly situated at the far end of the harbor with lovely views. Yet still within walking distance of great restaurants and plenty of shops. The breakfast is stellar. And the onsite restaurant offers some of the best homemade dolmades we’ve ever had. Next time we will try the made-to-order galaktobouriko. An added bonus is their onsite parking.

Stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights in mid-September before moving down to the south coast. It had been booked for many months as we wanted to secure a nice sea view room having never visited Chania town before. Upon arrival we were greeted by Katerina who informed us that we had been upgraded to a suite (room 308), fantastic we've never had an upgrade for anything before! The room was beyond our expectations. Spacious with beautiful views over the Venetian harbour from our 2 balconies!
Cannot fault anything about this accommodation, it was super clean & fresh, good quality toiletries, hospitality tray with coffee machine refreshed every day along with bottled water. Breakfast was excellent, so much choice from the buffet and 'cooked to order' options too. The hotel arranged our taxi transfers from the airport and to the bus station on our departure. This hotel is located in the marina part of the harbour and has its own car-park, this makes it accessible to taxis so you do not have to walk more than a few yards with your luggage to reception. I mention this because our 2nd hotel when we arrived back from the south coast was located in the heart of the old town where vehicle access is very much restricted and therefore not so easy especially for those with limited mobility, we had to walk through the narrow streets in order to meet our taxi transfer. A beautiful hotel, very friendly and professional staff, will stay again when next in Chania.

In truth, we enjoyed every aspect of the Porto Veneziano Hotel. Unusually, we'd done virtually none of the usual research, opting in this instance to take the fulsome recommendation of friends who'd stayed there a number of times. And what a terrific recommendation that proved to be. It's a superbly maintained hotel in what (in our opinion) is the best and most scenic location in town. Uniformly, the staff were warm and welcoming, highly trained and unfailingly helpful. We'd opted for a very generously proportioned Junior Executive Suite (and would do the same again), with a captivating view of the harbour: see accompanying photographs. The (included) hotel breakfast was the perfect start to each day ... and the restaurant rivals any of the other top eating places in town. The whole experience was a delight from first moment to last.

Driving in the area is terrible so we parked and left the car the whole time. We liked the location for exploring chania on foot for a few days and it was one of the rare places we could park a car. The room was tiny so much so that we couldn’t open a suitcase on the floor so we took turns putting our suitcases on the bed when we needed to change. We used one orange juice from the mini bar but one day we had moved some items around so we could chill some water and they added an extra beer to the fridge and charged us for it at checkout even though we only took an orange juice. The hotel was good enough to explore the area but we enjoyed some of the other places we stayed on the island because they all had better views, charged less, larger rooms, more personalized service but we not located centrally in a busy tourist area so this hotel was good for that. Price was good for what we got.

Strategically located by the marina, with the best sunset view; whether you want to enjoy it from your private balcony or in one of the many charming bars or restaurants in the area.
The hotel has the most efficient and nicest employees.
My boyfriend and I arrived at the hotel the night of Aug 16th, after an extremely long and exhausting flight from New York. I realized I made a mistake with the the room's reservation and had a tantrum. Instead of ignoring me and blaimg me; the lady at the desk was very sympathetic. Her good attitude and smile helped me recover the happiness and enthusiasm i had lost at my arrival, and found a solution, despite the rush and crowds of the season.
Thank you very much !

Best hotel in Chania old town

Our third stay at this lovely harbour front hotel. Right on the edge of the old town, it is easy to access and has it's own car park, while also being steps away from restaurants, the walkway to the lighthouse and the old mosque. The rooms are only small but beautiful and the bed is big and very comfortable. The walk in shower is excellent. The rooms at the front look down on the harbour and it is wonderful to sit on the balcony in the evening and watch the world go by. Breakfast is great, the staff are friendly and the food in the restaurant is delicious.

This is the place to stay in Chania! We traveled to Greece in late April for Easter and stayed 3 nights at the hotel Porto Veneziano. It's the perfect spot! It's nestled into the back of the inlet with a fantastic view of the lighthouse. Right on the water! Most of the foot traffic is from those going the lighthouse. Otherwise, especially at night, the walkway is quiet. Despite being set back from the harbor, from the Veneziano it's an easy stroll to the many shops, restaurants, and tavernas Chania has to offer. Also, the hotel is a great launching point to various day trips. We went to the Elafonisi beach (they loan you beach towels).

Port Veneziano itself is just what you would expect from a classy waterfront hotel. The hotel lobby is comfortably clean as are the rooms. If the weather is right they can open the doors to the many outside tables with umbrellas. All this with service, morning til night. On the bar side there is a delightful terrace with tables to enjoy your morning coffee. They have a great dining room. Breakfast is substantial and stays open til 10:30. The restaurant in the evening serves delicious dishes that deserve mentioning. The parking is free and I was never without a space. It's also in the back and side of the hotel with a gate and security cameras monitored by the front desk. The rooms have balconies and I would look for one facing the water.

The staff is one of the things that set them apart. Check in was easy with compliments going out to Vasili
