Elegant stay with perfect location
Wonderful location and incredible breakfast. It’s right at the city center so you can walk to shops, cafes, restaurants, and the port! Some tours will pick up directly from the hotel and they are willing to help you book a tour if needed. The staff is friendly and helpful, ready to serve. They provided a welcome gift during our stay. The breakfast is divine with many food options

Amazing
Amazing hotel, friendly staff with excellent service. We arrived late but the restaurant is open until 23:00. Superb food - croaker fish and chicken. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Location right next to the bus stop was brilliant.

Class act
We were contacted by Samaria Hotel thanking us for choosing to stay at Samaria Hotel. The hotel communicated with us to see when we were arriving to ensure our room would be ready. We arrived 30 minutes before their check in time but were able to check into our hotel. We were even given an upgraded room. The breakfast buffet was impressive and delicious. Definitely the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had during our 3 weeks in Greece. Everyone working there are consummate professional. Piano player in the lounge (couple nights a week ) was a nice touch as well. The resident cats were very well behaved and gave it a homey feel. Voula, client services agent, was very helpful during the check in process and provided valuable information and directions. We will return in the future.

Perfect location and amenities
Really great hotel with attentive staff, beautiful reception area and pool, comfortable rooms and excellent location. The main part of Chania old town is 5 minutes walk away, with tons of amenities handy. Breakfast was a highlight too! Only negative was that there is very limited poolside space, and it was often a battle to get in early enough for a deckchair, which was a little stressful. But if you got one, the poolside was very relaxing and enjoyable. We also did an excursion organised by the hotel to a local olive oil farm and winery, which was excellent. Highly recommended hotel!

I had a lovely stay at Samaria - the property is centrally located to explore Chania town. It’s a very short walk to all the shops, restaurants, beach, museums etc. The staff is great and they even help you get a taxi transfer from the airport - I later realized that the bus station is right next to the hotel and so you could use the local bus service to get to the airport, which is considerably cheaper. The swimming pool is small, but really nice really beautiful and a relaxing way to spend the day. They also have a well stocked library with some beautiful picture books. Overall just a great stay and not forget to mention the breakfast is absolutely delicious.

Great location within a 5 min walk to the harbor. Close to dining and night life. Away from the crowded streets. Only downside was that our air conditioned never worked. Being that it was July, sleeping was a bit uncomfortable.

Such a fabulous hotel for part of our honeymoon. We were given a beautiful penthouse suite upgrade. Thanks for the lovely cake and champagne! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast. The pool and gym are great. Thanks for letting us use the pool and showers after we checked out too before we went to get our boat to the mainland.
