Until recently this was the Minoan Hotel but now under new management and has been upgraded to present a very modern and airy hotel. Everything was clean and our fourth floor room had a balcony facing a small park with singing peacocks and long horned goats to entertain children and their parents. It's also a couple blocks away from the... More

This hotel has a certain air of faded elegance about it.. Rather imposing facade, intricate wrought iron mid-20th century elevator doors... etc. It has perhaps seen better days; the decor is a bit run down in places (room carpeting, for example). But as long as you don't require gleaming state-of-the-art 21st century luxury, it's a quite reasonable and economical place... More

When we visited Crete we stopped one night in this hotel. Booking hotel before we left England. Very nice hotel with underground parking. Reception was very good telling us where abouts to eat.Only 10 mins to walk in to old town. Beautiful harbour and stunning at night. The only down side was that there was a party on in the... More

Minoa hotel is an old renovated hotel, which is situated 10 minutes from city centre on food, The rooms are nice and clean, and the staff is very friendly. For it's class they keep a very good level of service. Breakfast is good but it needs little upgrade. Another advantage is that the hotel offers underground parking for the customers... More

Excellent hotel. 5 minutes from the old town and harbour. Breakfast was excellent. As much as you wanted and a wide variety of things to choose from. Friendly staff. We will definitely come back again.

Having spent many visits to Hania, this was our first stay at The Minoa. It is a quiet and tranquil oasis in what can be at times a noisy and frenetic city; especially closer to the harbour, even though it is less than ten minutes walk away.. Very spacious balcony room with views overlooking the park. The free underground parking... More

We stayed at the Minoa Hotel for 4 nights. We booked a suite-or a triple bedroom (it's practically the same) hoping that we'll get some extra space and, maybe, amenities. The hotel is located in downtown Chania, very near the Old Town (it's an easy 5-minute walk). Although the hotel's entrance faces a busy commercial street with lots of traffic,... More

I spent one night at the Minoa while on a business trip to Chania. The property is well kept, though the rooms are pretty basic. The furniture is a bit dated, and the TV set in the room is really small. Don't expect any luxuries here, everything is pretty much standard, though the lobby is quite nicely decorated. Breakfast is... More
