Detailed Reviews
We loved our stay at Avra City Hotel. Its location next to the municipal gardens means that views from the balconies are leafy and there is the sound of birdsong and children’s laughter. It is just a ten-minute walk to the knot of cobbled streets that makes up old Chania. The hotel’s entrance is elevated above street level and once inside there’s an air of elegant spaciousness and calmness. Featuring sparkling floors, light-filled atria and sweeping staircases, the building is adorned with sculptures and plants. The hotel is managed with relaxed efficiency by a team of helpful, friendly, professional staff (with an additional welcome always given by an affable, elderly dog). Our room was fresh, immaculate and stylish, furnished with marble and wood. Crisp white linens on the bed were complemented by touches of blue velvet and the bathroom was spotless, light and airy. The breakfast buffet was beautifully presented with plentiful fresh and dried fruits, juices, all kinds of bread, pastries, Greek specialities and cakes, cheeses and hams, cooked bacon, sausages and eggs. At our request, the gracious lady attending at breakfast prepared Greek coffee and cappuccino for us. We were able to choose to sit either inside or on the patio. We hired a car so having access to the hotel’s underground garage was much appreciated. Altogether, a wonderful base for exploring Chania and Western Crete.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Very convenient location as we had a rental car. We were able to use the hotel’s parking garage and do day trips and then it was a short walk into the old town each evening.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast spread was the best we had in Greece. The location was a bit loud as it’s on a Main Street, but that’s to be expected based on the convenience of the location.
We stayed in the Junior Suite which was spacious and had two balconies.

Beautiful hotel and very kind staff. The rooms were perfect; the beds were comfortable, the bathroom wasn’t too small and there was enough space to fit all your stuff. When you needed anything the staff at the reception was always ready to assist you.
I will definitely book Avra again when I visit Chania in the future. The location was very convenient as well since it is close to the harbor and city centre.

Avra City Boutique Hotel is strategically located just outside the Old Town of Chania allowing you an easy walk to the restaurants and charm of Old Town without having any of the late night noise that the tourist center may bring. The rooms are spacious and clean and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet has extensive offerings as well.

Beautifully appointed, elegant, and spotlessly clean hotel. The entire Staff works as an excellent team whose sole aim is to ensure that each and every guest is treated with respect, friendliness courtesy, and kindness, they share local good knowledge and information and NOTHING is too much trouble for them, THEY ARE AMAZING . Perfect location for the Old Town, Bus Station, Harbour, Restaurants, Shops, and road networks. Fresh produce and excellent choices are available in plenty for breakfast, and indoor and outdoor seating is available to enjoy your feast, at your leisure. Highly recommended, I had a wonderful stay.

Highly recommend this exceptional hotel located a short walk from the heart of Chania Crete. Front desk staff were professional, especially Daria who was just fantastic helping us organise tours and providing tips about where to eat, shop and always greeted us with a warm welcome. A cut above the rest! A great breakfast. Comfortable rooms. Also thorough enjoyed the love from the hotel mascot, the beautiful golden retriever/labrador. Would definitely visit again when it Crete.

This was our first two nights in Greece, and it was the perfect stay. The location was perfect -- walkable to everywhere in Chania, so our car sat in the underground garage for our stay. The hotel is central, but still in a quieter part of town (next to the Chania Municipal Gardens). The room was very comfortable and clean, and the common areas are beautiful. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to friends.

We stayed 3 nights and loved every minute. The hotel serves a great breakfast, you can walk anywhere you need to go and the service is top of the line. I would highly recommend. It is next door to a park and if you get lucky you might hear some very good music - we did.

First of all, amazing service! People in the reception are warm, fund, welcoming and very helpful. Rooms very modern, airconditioned and cleaned everyday. Perfect location with only a 10 minute walk to downtown with the old town and the harbour. And only a 20 minute walk to the amazing city beach of Nea Chora (two sunheds and one umbrealla only 6 EUR). Hotel is located just next to a beautiful, recreational park if you need some peace, quiet and shade from the sun. And don't miss the beautiful cafe in the middle of the park - full of history and great coffee. My warmest recommendations of Avra City Hotel!

I do not normally leave reviews but I feel I have to do so for this one. The customer experience at this hotel exceeded our expectations. We liked everything. From the welcome given by the team at the front desk especially the girl who did the check in and the girl who did the check out, a big thumbs up to both. The choice of good genuine food for breakfast. The underground parking. The decor, the overall sense of wellness it provides and the immaculate cleanliness. The location is superb, the rooms, balconies and bathrooms are spacious, beautifully decorated in marble. This hidden gem is pure excellence, I would definitely recommend and most likely revisit. Greetings from Malta, your neighbor island :)

No, the hotel is in the very center of the city. In order to go to the beach you need to rent a car or by the bus. And most of nice beaches are like 20 minutes far
