The staff were absolutely amazing, very welcoming and helpful.
The hotel is at the top of a hill and a little far out from the town, however there is a shuttle service from the hotel from early morning till late every 30 mins to take you into town.
The town offers some amazing restaurants with a view and if you don’t mind a stroll - some of the fish restaurants by the harbour were superb!
The restaurant in the hotel is lovely too for days you don’t want to venture out!
The hotel itself is quiet and the pool is a really good size - again with some beautiful sea views .
We would definitely stay here again!

The hotel offers incredible views, an excellent pool, an amazing breakfast, and a wonderful restaurant with astonishing views. It is a very peaceful place, and the complimentary shuttle to the Old Venetian Port runs frequently, making it very convenient. The room also had excellent air conditioning.

The reception staff were absolutely delightful, they had free transport which was easy to book, although I did not use I feel like this was an amazing idea for people who did not want to worry about parking or car rentals. The hotel looked very modern and brand new, the area was lovely and I would definitely come back. To improve they should not allow people to put their towels on the sun-bed and leave it there for hours unattended, it is unfair for the other guests and ruins the experience. The breakfast was good, and once again the staff hospitality was great. Thank you royal sun we will be back.

I’m reluctant to leave a fabulous review as everyone will want to go there! It was our 4th visit to the hotel & it never fails to deliver on excellence, the staff are amazingly friendly & professional, nothing is too much trouble for them. The food in the restaurant is superb & the views over to the ocean are stunning, the nightly sunsets are priceless, love it there.

City views

A extremely clean rooms, beautiful views, upgrade to city view was definitely worth it.

The hotel is too far to walk to town if that’s something that’s important for you probably choose elsewhere. However the shuttle busses are very easy and reliable. We used them every evening

Our stay at the Royal Sun Hotel was perfect. The room with the sea view and balcony was of a high standard, clean and comfortable. The Hill restaurant, where we ate breakfast each day, had a stunning view overlooking the old port and the sea, and was a delight to sit at each morning. The breakfast choice and quality was probably the best we’ve ever experienced. The pool was great with that brilliant view and plenty of chairs and sunbeds to choose from.
All the staff were so friendly and good natured it made the stay perfect. The reception staff were always happy, willing to help, full of information and again probably the best we’ve come across. The hotel provides a shuttle mini bus to transport the guests to and from the town of Chania.
We definitely recommend the Royal Sun Hotel if you are visiting Chania.

We stayed 15 days at the hotel, a nice stay. The room is small and I like it brighter, especially the bathroom, otherwise nice view, good service, a good restaurant and has a pool and sun deck. Nikos from the reception who is professional and super helpful makes up for all the short comings of the hotel.

This hotel is amazing, the only issue I had was with the hours for the gym. It didn’t open until 9am and from at 2pm till 5pm, then closed again at 9pm. While I understand the need to keep things quiet for other guests, it wasn't conducive for traveling. No early morning workout before breakfast.

The hotel itself is lovely and has beautiful amenities. The transport every 30 minutes to downtown Chania is a wonderful add-on, and the front desk people were all professional and had amazing service.

My partner stayed here last year and this year again, and likely we will be staying next year

Room was spotlessly clean, the large sea view balcony was our favourite part! The pool was gorgeous and we loved being able to place orders to be delivered poolside. The breakfast was top of the line with unlimited options, both hot and cold, and it was served on the rooftop offering outstanding views. Dinner at the restaurant, The Hill, was outstanding. The shuttle service to Old Town was extremely efficient and reliable.
I highly recommend this hotel!
The only con was the teeny shower & would have loved some drawer space to be able to unpack.

The service was really unfriendly, with exception of 3 people. Getting room service was always an issue because of comprehension and if we did want to approach them their attitude just put us off. Rolling eyes and sighs whilst customers made requests at breakfast was absolutely shocking. I ordered a salmon salad and whilst it was lovely and Fresh there was a bit of plastic in the food.

Stunning Hotel, would definitely go back.

Stunning hotel on top of hill. Definitely not walking distance to Old Chania but they have a shuttle that drops to and from which is great! Doesn't have an airport shuttle but taxi was about 25 euros.

Stunning room, amazing balcony with views. I could have hung out there all night.

We wanted a hotel a short distance from the airport but still close enough to enjoy the city if we wanted to venture out. We did not leave the property that night. The restaurant was amazing along with its beautiful view. The room was quiet and clean with great amenities.

This is an amazing hotel. Set on a hill high above Chania. You will not get a better view, and never get fed up of looking at it. Access to town is simple and provided by a regular shuttle. The staff on reception, in the dining area, on the shuttle bus are amazing. Nothing is too much for them. The pool area is great, again, views to die for. Quiet, and relaxing. Cannot recommend it enough.

Comments on hotel are misleading, be ware of this. Check in was not a pleasant experience, the lady at front desk was annoyed from the moment I approached the desk.Requests about VIP perks were brushed off, not recognized or not available. The place was practically empty. The initial room provided had mold on the roof of the bathroom. The second room had the same issue and the third one was apparently all they had available. There was mold in there as well but not as visible as it was in the other two. It had clearly been painted over. My reservation was none refundable so I endured. The gym is dated and it was in a mess when I walked in there after check in. Decided not to go back in there. My room was cleaned daily but bring your own towel if you must stay here. The towels house keeping kept leaving me after the second day should be retired. The rooms are not soundproof, any movement or sound in other rooms could be heard in my room, as a light sleeper this was challenging. After an attempt on the behalf of Expedia to assist, I was magically provided wine and a plate of fruit mid stay. Even though the hotel is old, there is soo much potential but it’s poorly maintained. The wall papers in the three rooms I saw was on their last leg. Attention to detail could go a long way. The restaurant on 3rd floor had great views, service was slow but I didn’t mind. The staff in the restaurant were polite and the food was tolerable.

I didn’t like how it was dealt with it.

I liked the place but it I have couple of points to comment on. First the walk to my room was extremely dark, and it was really scary to walk to hallway.
Second, as I was in the room and taking a shower, someone opened the door and left the door open. I called the front desk and she asked me 3 times if I am sure that this happened! Why would anybody lie about something like this. I asked her to check with the cleaning lady, she did and called me back apologizing. But that is very unprofessional because why would she try to get in on the first place, how is she not informed that there is a customer in there. Then since she opened and saw that there is somebody in there, why d didn’t she close the door after her.
It is just a very unprofessional incident that scared me a lot.

The Royal Sun was very accommodating. We had travel issues, coming in a day later after our reservation. At no additional cost they adjusted our reservation. The views are extraordinary from the bar/breakfast area. We thought the distance from the Mediterranean would be an issue. However, not the case. Views, food, and staff do an amazing job. The shuttle service to and from the hotel to chania was great. Nothing bad to say about the Royal Sun.

Showers are a little tight! Everything else wonderful. Highly recommend

My stayed was horrible. Housekeep was made a lot noise on the 3floor to the point of waking me up. One day housekeeping forgot to clean my room even I asked if they could come back because I was taking a shower which they agree to it. After noticing that they never came back I went to the front desk to request my room to get clean the front desk. The guy in the front desk seemed annoyed and said \"it would have to wait because housekeeping is gone, and I guess one of them (hotel staff) have to do it. Which they never did. Shower were too small, and dirty.

An absolute gem!

The Royal Sun is a truly lovely hotel, perfectly positioned and totally unique. Overlooking the beautiful town of Chania & the sea, the views are stunning. The staff really make it, especially in the restaurant where are they are warm & super friendly. Also, the cooking here is amongst the best I’ve had in Greece. The pool is peaceful and tranquil and sunbeds always available. Sometimes the dogs barking in the morning can be annoying, but not enough to spoil your enjoyment. Special thanks to both Maria’s, Roula, Nikos and Christos and to Eva at front desk who was super helpful when I asked to moved rooms. We will return for sure!

Positives: The rooms with ocean view also have a great view of Chania. Great view from the restaurant as well. They have a free shuttle to take you into town. Negatives: Their breakfast is not worth the €10. Now, the worse part for us for the smell of cigarettes in the so-called non-smoking room. It was very strong, but we were told they could not move is to another room.
