I stay at Porto Veneziano hotel every month for business purposes. Its not a 5 star hotel with pool, spa etc but the perfect hotel for visiting the wonderful old town of Chania. The location is just perfect, the staff the friendliest I have ever seen and the rooms rather simple but clean and especially the front ones with an astonishing view of the old harbour. Porto Veneziano is the best hotel at the old town of Chania.

The staff was very friendly upon arrival. The room was very basic like a Best Western but we paid extra for an Ocean View suite and it was worth the extra space. Being along the ocean was so peaceful, the only thing that I was bothered by were the horse & buggy sounds that would come by in the morning.

Since it was our honeymoon, as we got to our room the bellman had a welcome tray with fruit and champagne which was very thoughtful.

Along with the beautiful view the breakfast fruit was some of the best I've ever had. It is a short walk from the main village which didn't bother us since it was quieter and we were able to walk off our dinner as well as explore the fort.

The website shows the hotel in a poor way, but upon arriving, it is in the cutest most charming area of Chania, and of Crete, in my opinion. The staff is kind and helpful, but not annoying in any way. They are great with giving directions to guests who do not speak or read Greek, and we had no trouble navigating the area by car with their directions and recommendations. We haven't tried the food but the coffee is great, and the rooms are comfortable with nice views and balconies. Wireless internet which is fast and easy to log in to.

We love it and if ever in the area again we would stay here. It is affordable and on a street of little sweet restaurants with AMAZING fresh fish and sweet, trustworthy people.

We stayed here the first 3 nights of our vacation in Greece and it was a nice place to make the transition. This hotel is located on the quieter side of the harbor. Our balcony provided a nice place to relax, enjoy the breeze, and look over the harbor and street activity. It is an easy walk to the rest of the old town and numerous restaurants. Customer service was great. The staff spoke English, provided an early breakfast since we had an early bus trip to the gorge, called taxis, sold stamps, and laundry prices were reasonable for a hotel. The hotel provides a big breakfast buffet with fresh orange juice. The room itself was a bit small and drab, but clean. The beds were hard like most hotels in Greece. You could get English news on the TV. While the hotel is in a quiet area of the harbor, there was a fair amount of background noise (elevators, doors, etc) from the hotel itself.
