We often have a night in Chania before flying home, and always stay here. The rooms are good, the position is perfect, just between the Old Town and the Bus Station, the breakfast is good; but best of all the the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff.

What is doesn't have: a view and atmosphere What it does have: perfect location adjacent to the old town, good rooms, a very decent breakfast and a wonderful staff. I had to leave at 5:45am to go hiking at Samaria Gorge and they opened the breakfast room especially for me. Hint: If you give your dirty laundry to Reception in... More

I have been staying at the Arkadi for years, usually for only a night or two, on arriving and before leaving Crete. It is a great hotel, with friendly, helpful staff who always remember me and welcome me back, comfortable rooms, with nice views from the front ones over Plateia 1866 A special word for the extraordinarily lavish breakfasts (I...

Just come back from 2 nights at this hotel. really close to bus station to airport and also really close to harbour, so perfect location/ Rooms clean and spacious and we had 3 rooms and all had massive beds! Bathrooms really nice as well. Breakfast was continental buffet but good choice and plenty of it.

Stayed here,May 15th 2013 for 3 nights, dont think you will find a better hotel for your pennies. The staff are a credit to the hotel, very friendly and helpful, plus a free beer on arrival, what more could one want. The rooms are of a good standard, with free airconditioning and safe.There were a group of 6 stayed and... More

Came to Crete for the first time last month and stayed at this hotel. It is excellent value for money, friendly staff, great location, tea/coffee making facilities in room, towelling robe and slippers supplied for your use. For a budget hotel it was first class. Plan to go back

There will be better hotels in Chania, but I don't believe that any will offer better value for money. The rooms are a good size, air-conditioned and clean. Staff are excellent. The breakfasts are good with loads of freshly-squeezed orange juice. The hotels position is unbeatable - 5 minutes from the central bus station and 5 minutes in the opposite... More

Good sized bedrooms with balcony, quiet due to double glazing and metal blinds. Comfortable beds - linen frequently changed. Very friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Only downside was shower - in... More

I stayed at this hotel from 11-15th April with my husband and was prepared to give it a very good rating. Unfortunately I mistakenly left a gold necklace in my room and called the hotel as soon as I could. I was told it wasn't found and no offer to check the room again. After an e-mail to them I... More
