This hotel was a great find that we were so happy about! It's a rather small hotel very close to the Chania old center, so the location is extremely convenient. A small (for us) downside of this is that you might hear people talking quite loudly until late in the night. The walls are also rather thin so we could hear when people were talking on the hallway or opening their room doors.

Other than that, everything was excellent - very clean when we arrived and also housekeeping was very thorough (do note though, that you have to announce when you want housekeeping in your room and it's not available on Sunday). Breakfast is quite diverse and they had a delicious selection of pastries and pies that they rotated daily. We also enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice and the freshly made omlette. Breakfast is served on a nice rooftop terrace so this also adds to the experience.

What stood out the most, however, was the staff - everyone we interacted with was extremely nice, friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and even after we checked out they invited us to stay for a few hours on the rooftop terrace since we had a late flight. If we ever come back to this part of Crete we'd love to stay here again!

Our stay in Chania was indeed great experience. Thanks to Central City Hotel especially Olga and the lady (I forgot her name) who prepares fresh breakfast every day. All staff were very friendly. The hotel is situated in the centre of town where we can explore the area by foot. Even late at night. Chania is indeed a lovely place to explore for those who are not aware of the town. It has loads of local restaurant and Greek culture is all around the atmosphere. For us, it wasn’t too crowded yet as its not the peak of tourist season which is lovely and enjoyable to walk around. The hotel gave us the experience of a mixture of city break and beach holiday as the nearest beach is around 15 mins walk. We dont mind it at all as there are plenty and great scenery while walking to the beach. It is also a recommended location as we go out late night to eat, walk in old town harbour and shops are within reach. Lovely place and will definitely come back.

Great location in the centre of the town. The bus station is behind the hotel, easy to walk to it and taxi rank nearby too. Lots of cafes and shops on the same road too.
All the staff are excellent . Was welcomed by the lovely Olga who was very helpful and gave lots of useful information about the area. Breakfast on the roof terrace was good , with nice views.
Very quiet inside the hotel even though it is in the centre of town.

Great stay great price

Very clean and well set up room, with a comfortable bed. Basic room not fancy, as I expected. The check-in staff was super helpful. Convenient location. Great stay for a great price. My only comment is that there are stairs to get from the street to the lobby, which I was not aware of. Having recently had shoulder surgery, it is a problem carrying luggage up (or down) stairs.

What amazing service! We arrived late and check in was closed. But Olga left clear instructions to get to our room. Breakfast was great also with fresh pastries and delicious yogurt. The hotel is well located steps away from the harbour and in the middle of the shopping district. Highly recommend

The property is centrally located which is awesome to access the harbor and many restaurants / bars! We arrive late around 11 pm and Olga made sure we had access to the property and recommendations. I can not say enough good things about how attentive Olga is to all the needs of each person walking through the doors! The hotel is extremely clean and super reasonable. Loved this property and would certainly return!

A lovely hotel in an excellent location. Our room was bright, comfortable and spacious and exactly as pictured. It was also cleaned on a daily basis, with new towels provided.

The location is very convenient and within a sort walking distance to a supermarket, a large number of restaurants, shops and places to visit (including the Old Venetian Harbour).

The local bus station is also a few minutes walk, with buses available to a number of destinations including the airport (which is a 30 minute journey away)

A big thank you to Olga, Stefanos and the team, who made our stay very enjoyable. They answered all our questions and queries and Olga gave excellent suggestions of places to visit and local restaurants to try. Highly recommended!

Very nice hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. They helped us finding places to go, restaurants and others.
The Hotel is new. Location is good.
There is paid parking very near. While free parking also can be found nearby, but sure you need to spend some time and search and not in peak time.
There is stair to go to the hotel. You need to carry your bags. But not difficult.
We had nice time here and sure will do again.

She wrote down and highlighted travel instructions, beach options, bus schedules and left notes for us so that we would know when things were scheduled.

Location, Location and great reception

Hotel in great location and the 3 receptionists were terrific and
Olga was more than a star. Chania is a really nice place for a holiday and even a weekend away any month of the year.
The room was very nice and quiet. The restaurants recommended by the receptionists all proved to be good value and outstanding traditional food.

Despite the economic crash the local people all walk round with a smile on their faces. What a credit they are. We will be back very soon

Comfortable and convenient

This hotel was outstanding in some aspects and really lacking in others. It was quiet, clean a good price and in a convenient location. The bed was amazingly comfortable one of the best I have slept in. The quality of the bathroom was outstanding as were the other fixtures. It had the worst view I have ever known, into an internal unfinished shaft, with a builders plank between beams! Come on guys a few plants in pots could help. No information in the room at all eg. Check out time or contact details for when the reception was unmanned at night and absolutely no fire escape instruction (the first hotel I have ever been to without this vital information) The reception area was attractive but the steep stairway from the street to the lobby was troublesome with luggage. The female receptionist was delightful. The photo I included flatters the view and does not show the water on the lower floor

Beyond all expectations

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at this hotel recently. It is located within walking distance to major tourist attractions, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and even the bus station (useful for day trips to nearby towns and beaches). The room has a modern design, and was new, clean and spacious. Most importantly, we had the best ever experience as hotel guests with Olga, who gave us recommendations about where to eat and shop as well as delightful \"surprises\" every day. She was also attentive, sincere and passionate about making sure that we had a comfortable and wonderful stay in Chania. If we visit Chania again, we will have no doubts about staying here again.

This is the hotel you should stay in Chania!

We stayed in Central City Hotel for 8 days and really enjoyed our stay during our holiday in Crete. It was perfectly located from the centre, walking distance to all restaurants, shops, harbour, markets in less they 10 mins, supermarket and cafes couple of minutes from the hotel. We managed to park our car street away from the hotel as well. The staff in the hotel was really nice, Olga and her collegues were very friendly, always with smile on their faces, and helpfull when we asked for anything, recommendations, beach umbrella, buying local goods not for tourists. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back in the future.

Best location to stay!

Central City Hotel was amazing! I spent 7 very comfortable nights here. The staff was very helpful and extremely friendly everyday all day. I traveled alone and the staff always checked if I needed help finding activities or restaurants.

The best part of this hotel is not only how clean and hospitable it is but the location itself. You are walking distance from EVERYTHING! Foods, coffee shop, shopping, and less than 5 min walk from the harbor.

The hotel is very modern but still has so much character. I loved it!!!

This is a superb hotel. It is very new, modern and clean. The staff are so friendly, they even gave us Greek biscuits and sweet bread to celebrate the Greek Easter. It is a great location, 10 minutes walk to the Old Venetian Harbour and 2 minutes to the bus station.

The only downside is there are no escalators in the hotel.

The only downside was the toilet door. It is not a one that you can close properly and therefore you won't get too much privacy.

Min kæreste og jeg boede 8 nætter på dette hote. Rigtig fint hotel med hvad der var nødvendigt i forhold til vores ophold. Alt personale var rigtig venlig, men specielt Olga gjorde et stort indtryk på os. Hun kom med gode anbefalinger til restauranter og hvad der var godt i forhold til morgenmad, frokost og aftensmad. Da vi skulle køre videre mod Agios Nikolaos gav hun også anbefalinger til steder og restauranter på vejen, som var værd at stoppe ved. Olga var nærværende og interesseret i sine gæster på en måde vi ikke har oplevet før! Klart anbefales værdigt hotel, med god beliggenhed midt i byen tæt på alt.
