We have stayed with Lena several times, in the pension itself and also in two of the other houses she has to rent. Everything is very central and easy to reach no matter which property you stay in. They are decorated in a typical cosy fashion - no modern minimalistic cold feel ! Friendly helpful service from Lena herself. Read... More

This is very tough to write because all the rest are good reviews and I don’t want to be that fussy snob who smashes the place so I’ll put it all out there and u decide for yourself. I didn’t personally meet Lena but my husband said she is lovely. She is very helpful and left us a note as... More

We had very nice days in the heart of Old Chania in a very tipical house. 1821 Square, just few steps away, is a very relaxing and enjoyable place. Lena was very kind, present but discreet. She gave us good advices for restaurants and found for us best rates to hire a car or a motorbike. So we were free... More

I never expected a guesthouse or inn with such character that Pension Lena gives. We had room 1 in the main building and the room was nicely decorated with old photos, furnitures, vases etc. The room has a small TV, full kitchenette and a cool but quiet air conditioning. The bathroom was spotless clean. However, shower pressure was a little... More

Found out about this delightful little place to stay through someone I met in Athens earlier in my trip. Pension Lena only has 4 rooms (although Lena herself does own a total of 6 properties in the old town). The ground floor is Venetian (and therefore about 400 years old) and the top 2 floors are Turkish (about 200 years... More

When we arrived at the main pension, in a beautiful part of the old city, Lena offered to take us by car to one of the houses, which she would let us stay in for the same price as a room since it wasn't booked. The house was in a slightly out of the way part of town, but was... More

One of many pensions that line Theotokopoulos Street in Old Town Chania, Lena's was unusual in allowing me to book a room online ahead of time. My room had its own entrance, was clean and well furnished (with a balcony), and easily adjacent to the nightlife in Chania. Lena herself is friendly & knowledgeable, and discounted my room price when... More

We stayed in House Minos, which was charming, on a quiet residential street - near a friendly neighborhood grocery. We, two couples, stayed there very comfortably. The house is traditional and updated. The renovated bathrooms are works of art. The third floor bedroom is particularly special. You can see the sun rise lying in bed - at least in May.... More

Economical cute place! I stayed at Pension Lena about one year ago, last July. I had wanted to write a review but never did until now. I was scheduled to arrive on a Saturday last July. However, my ferry from Santorini had been cancelled, causing a major kink in my travel plans. I needed to catch the earlier ferry so... More
