True Gem of a Hotel

Hotel Spanzia is a true gem of a property. Great staff. Excellent location for exploring Chania. Breakfast is not the usual lineup of warming trays. Served in the hotel’s perfect garden area, eggs are served as you wish with many choices. We had the upper floor room with a loft ( we didn’t use) . Bed are comfortable. Lovely furnishings in our room and throughout the hotel. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, Magical - perfect!!!

Perfect location right in the outskirts of Chania town but still in the center. Maybe 5-9 min walk to the water and another 20-25 min walk to the nearest beach town Nea Chora. The room was very large for 2 people and perfectly cleaned. The bathroom felt very separate from the main room and the door is heavy/secure so allows for great privacy. The highlight of the hotel besides the location and comfort of the room is the made-to-order BREAKFAST! Unbelievable variety of food (actually too much for two people) with coffee, tea, cereals, eggs prepared how you like, fresh orange juice, pastry, fresh jam with variety daily (fig, pear), fruit platter (grapes, watermelon, melon, nectarine), bread and another small appetizer of vegetables. Truly is an incredible spread and we saved whatever we couldn’t eat to snack on later.

Exceptionally located property in the heart of Chania. We were a few minutes walking distance from everything - delicious restaurants, the harbor, the bus stop, etc. The owners are incredibly thoughtful and kind, providing delicious and bountiful breakfasts in their picturesque garden. Fabulous way to start the day. They also took the time to orient us with the neighborhood map and provide various recommendations. They were accommodating of our schedule, securing our luggage when we arrived hours before check-in and then doing the same when we departed hours after checkout. Our room was beautifully appointed and spacious. Loved the décor and especially the twinkling stars that doubled as a nightlight. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a well-priced, conveniently-located, charming hotel in the perfect location.

The perfect stay in Chania

I'll with saying the hotel is amazing. It provided the perfect local, authentic solution to staying in and experiencing Chania without having to sacrifice anything.
The room contained a queen size bed with plenty or room and storage around the space. We also had access to a front balcony.
Aside from the room the hotel is central to all the main tourist attractions and is surrounded by excellent food venues.
The thing that puts this hotel over the top are the brothers in particular Nikos who welcome suou on arrival introduces to you to the main attractions and ensures your stay is as comfortable as possible.
Finally, the breakfast that Nikos provides is amazing daily omelette cooked to order. Pancakes, cereals, fresh juice, coffee and too many additional local delicate that are delicious.
Overall, this has been one of my most enjoyable hotel experiences.

Lovely stay at Splanzia!

Splanzia is all you need to enjoy beautiful Chania

We stayed in Splanzia for 5 days in late June 2018. I was not sure about booking it vs. a more expensive hotel with parking included and right in the harbor. Splanzia was less expensive but the price was NOT my consideration at all. I finally chose it for being described as quiet, away from the noise of bars and restaurants at night. What a lucky decision!

Location is absolutely ideal: 5-10 minutes walk to everything you might want to go to. At the same time, it is indeed quiet and feels more like home than a busy touristy hotel. One of the most pleasant hotels we have stayed in many years.

The hotel is family run and EXCEPTIONALLY efficient and comfortable. We were on the third floor without elevator but barely noticed it because the manager took our luggage up immediately and cheerfully. EVERY time with had ANY question (even a stupid one), the response was positive, immediate and to the point. Customer service, in other words, is stellar!

The room is sufficiently big and elegantly decorated. Nothing unnecessary, but all you might need. Everything worked perfectly, even WiFi, which is not at all given in Greece. Clean, well kept and authentically decorated. Even my very demanding husband absolutely loved it.

The daily breakfast is served on a cozy terrace looking like a small museum of ancient artifacts. It is served by one of the managers and cooked right there basically in front of you. Everything is fresh, delicious and nutritious. A pleasure to even think of it...

Fantastic boutique hotel

We spent 5 nights at this small boutique hotel and really enjoyed our stay. The location was very good, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is also very good with lots of variety. Because it is a small hotel, it also feels cozy. The hotel has a nice and comfortable garden. There is also a laundromat a few doors down, which came in very handy after two weeks of traveling.

Great Chania home!!

Wonderful location, very warm hospitality, fantastic breakfast, very well remodeled home/hotel. A few minor changes would make this an even better place: don't charge for coffee in the room, for example, and make facial tissues and a second dustbin available.

Comfortable hotel, welcoming staff

We stayed for four nights at Splanzia. It is a very comfortable hotel with large and clean rooms, and is located in a nice area with easy walking access to the old harbour, shopping and eating places. The people at Splanzia are very knowledgeable and helpful, and their recommendations on things to see, do and eat gave us a great sampler of Chania and its surrounding areas.

We would love to be back!

A warm welcome in an historic building.

From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was large with a modern efficient bathroom even though the hotel was clearly an old building. Breakfast had many different choices including cooked breakfasts and set us up for the day. We had a late flight on the day we left and we're pleased to be able to leave our luggage in order to fully enjoy our last day in Chania.

Boutique hotel with character centrally located

Our first visit to Chania was made all the more enjoyable by staying in this very friendly hotel in former family home. The sons and staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfasts were plentiful. The courses catered for many tastes and kept coming! Early breakfast sandwiches and fruit were provided for our extra early tour day starts.
The central location made it very easy to reach pick up points, for exploring the old town, port, public and street markets without need for any public transport. A wide variety of excellent tavernas are close by.
Many excursions and adventures can be made from Chania.
A delightful hotel which we will revisit if possible.
The local taxi driver provided by the hotel on request drove safely. His rates were competitive.
Out of town we noticed many, many modern hotels. There are beaches easily reached.

Boutique Hotel in Great Location

Iannis and Nikos were perfect hosts for our short stay in Chania. We especially appreciated their readiness to change our room from one facing the street to a quieter one overlooking the terrace after our first night. The made to order breakfast rates among the best we've ever enjoyed, and was plentiful enough to keep us going the whole day. The hotel is located in the old Turkish section of Old Town within easy walking distance of the old harbor, market, bus station and many restaurants and tavernas. We would definitely stay there again.

A Wonderful and Memorable Stay

Our stay in Splanzia Hotel made our visit to Chania even more special. Upon our arrival the staff proactively took the time to understand what we wanted to get out of our stay and tailored a number of itineraries for us to consider. They also ensured we were aware of where the best eats were in town.

The breakfast was fantastic and plentiful. The rooms ver spacious and clean. We were very sad when it was time to leave.

I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Chania. Many thanks to the hotel for such a great experience and life long memories.

Breakfast was served daily with all types of fresh fruit, yogurt, egg dishes made to order and fresh squeezed orange juice. The hotel is family run and the staff took every effort to make sure our stay was perfect. A very unique and special experience, great for couples.

Simple digs excellent location

The two fellows who run Splanzia are eager to please: thoughtful, sweet, capable. The room was spotless, basic, sufficient and little more. Breakfast was typically Cretan - healthy, varied and in large quantity! The location was excellent, we had no trouble with street noise but were near the essentials in lovely Chania.

True gem in heart of Chania's old district!

Awesome lovely small boutique hotel located right in the heart of the old town...Room was gorgeous, and huge btw! VERY comfortable and beautifully decorated evoking old-world charm...Outdoor courtyards and walkouts were lovely too and we saved a fortune not having to take a taxi anywhere at all. But truly the breakfast buffet was simply beyond anything you could expect, all food was delicious, hot, made fresh....hats off to the chef! Exceptional service as well by the owners, only a family-owned hotel would ever be run with this high level of service. Loved every minute, could not recommend this hotel more highly....Thank you so much for such a lovely stay.

Best hotel in Chania

The hotel is centrally located between the old and new city and close to the bus station, making it easy to get around. The fact that it is not clustered near the touristy part of town made it much more enjoyable for us as we like to get the real feel of where we are traveling to. (If I wanted to be around other tourists, then I'd stay in NYC for that!) The hotel is cozy and I felt right at home. The room was a nice mix of traditional and modern, was clean, and well kept. We especially enjoyed our hosts hospitality and the wonderful breakfast included. Best hotel in Chania!

Great choice in Hania

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Splanzia for four nights. For starters, the location is perfect if you want easy access (a few blocks away) to the waterfront tourist area but also would like to escape it all for a decent night's rest. If you want absolute, suburban quiet, however, I don't recommend staying ANYWHERE in Hania. However, Splanzia (the neighborhood and the hotel) is much quieter than the waterfront. There are reasonable, good restaurants on the same street, as well as a bakery, a convenience kiosk and a small grocery, which sells fresh fruit.

What is really apparent is that the folks that run Splanzia really care about their guest's lodging experience; as such, the service is outstanding (Breakfast in the shady courtyard is absolutely fantastic and really adds to the value of this hotel.), and the entire hotel is very, very clean and tidy and the spacious rooms have excellent air conditioning.

As a bonus, they offer free wi-fi, and I never had a problem connecting to it from my room, the lobby, the courtyard or the rooftop terrace using my handheld.

In the end, if our travels take us back to Hania, we will definitely stay at Hotel Splanzia.

A GEM OF A HOTEL

I was very happy with the choice I made. The hosts, Nikos and Yanni went above the call of duty to help us enjoy our holiday. I was going to select a hotel closer to the harbor, but as I walked around and heard the noise of that area, the little walk that we had was worth the quiet. You will love this place.

Like being welcomed into your friend's home

Chania has an old town and a new town. Splanzia is located in the old town with the old Venetian Harbor and Lighthouse. The surrounding area has so much personality and character. You really feel transported away from the modern world to a much simpler relaxing place. Staying at the Splanzia is like being invited to a friend's house and being well taken care of. The rooms are majestically designed and comfortable. The service is very friendly and they treat you like family. One of the most memorable things of the hotel among many memorable things is the amazing breakfast. The breakfast is made to order and the friendly lady brought many small dishes that gave us a real sample of a deliscious Greek breakfast. One day we had to leave early in the morning and the owner woke up early just to make us breakfast to go! The rooms had 4-poster beds which lent to the old world ambiance. Very happy we discovered this gem. Hope everyone gets to enjoy Splanzia as much as we did.

Fantastic hotel in old town

Hotel Splanzia is a beautifully renovated/maintained boutique hotel in the central part of Chania. Rooms are airy and a nice size, very comfortable for the price. The brothers who own/run the hotel could not be friendlier and more helpful. Possibly the best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel, including homemade pastry and sweet items (which were different each day), served in a beautiful garden in the back. They even accommodated an early start one day when I was off to hike the Samaria Gorge. Very highly recommended.
