I'm delighted to highlight the exceptional hospitality provided by the staff at this hotel. Their warmth and willingness to assist were truly remarkable, making our stay incredibly pleasant. Not only were they readily available at all times, but their eagerness to help with any inquiry, no matter how trivial, was truly commendable. This attention to cleanliness greatly contributed to our overall comfort and satisfaction during our stay. Situated in close proximity to the old city, it offered convenient access to historical sites and cultural attractions. This prime location allowed us to explore the charm and beauty of the old city with ease, adding to the enjoyment of our visit.

Stunning place, wonderful people and delicious food.
Stunning place, wonderful people and delicious food. Nea Chora beach is fantastic and there are many restaurants and cafés to choose from. I love to go before and after the high season. Easy to rent a car and drive around, the driving experience was fantastic, good roads and signals. People drive sensibly and there is free parking all over the island with no tolls at all.

The old town is lovely full of independent stores selling leather goods, clothes etc. Eat at one of the restaurants overlooking the port and lighthouse for fantastic views. Loved the backdrop of the snow covered mountains while basking in the 26 degrees sun despite it still being March.

We loved the Venetian port and the Old Town.
We loved the Venetian port and the Old Town. One of our favourite places was a restaurant called Paradisiaco in the upper part of the port on Theotokopoulou Street. It is a very interesting neighbourhood. A beautiful art shop with a friendly owner is in the same area. Another good restaurant is Maridaki in Maridaki Steet.

Its a quiet, mountainside/seaside town with amazing food.
Its a quiet, mountainside/seaside town with amazing food. I dont think I had one bad meal there. The beaches are amazing and the water is a crystal clear green/blue. I'm sure there are lots of activities and things to do involving hiking and snorkeling. If you're looking for lots of shopping from big retail, I dont think this is the place for you. A lot of the shops are local businesses.

A very good place as a base for the western part of the island. When visiting the eastern or central part, it is better to move around. However, the western part is famous for its greatest attractions.

This was our third stay in Chania as we love it so much.
This was our third stay in Chania as we love it so much. It is clean and well-kept, with a pretty harbour and large selection of bars and restaurants. We always visit in April or October when it’s buzzing but not too overcrowded.
The prices are very reasonable, especially in the Kuom Kapi area.
We discovered Amphora taverna in the Venetian harbour this visit, and although you pay harbour front (slightly higher) prices, the portions were huge and excellent value for money, and the service was excellent.
Staying at The Tanneries was the best way to end our stay in Greece. The facility is gorgeous and the view of the water from our room was stunning. The beds were incredibly comfortable and I loved that we had both a spa tub and a steam shower in our room. The staff went above and beyond during our stay -- setting up an incredible boat trip to small beaches on the south side of the island, packing breakfasts for us when we had to leave before the dining room opened -- and we loved chatting with Sylvia about her favorite parts of Crete!
My room truly had the best view of the harbor in Old Town Chania! My little porch looked out over everything and it was especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset and I could see the lighthouse perfectly too! The room itself was lovely, comfortable, and relaxing! And the staff was so wonderful and friendly, and I truly appreciated them working with me with my odd times of an early arrival and leaving early as well in the morning. They helped me arrange a taxi right to the door for my early departure! Thank you!!😊
The property is in a superb location. It has spectacular views from the rooftop. The owner (6th generation) attended at property daily to greet guests and provide helpful tips to ensure you are maximizing and enjoying your stay. I always book five star resorts/hotels when I go away, and this property exceeded my hopes for an exceptional stay. The room was more spacious than I anticipated (2 children, 2 adults). We felt like we were in a picture book. I will always stay at this property when returning to Crete.
I will never forget this hotel. Lovely staff, beautiful room view (I had the room with the terrace), excellent wifi, best location right in the center. The staff helped me organize two amazing days in Crete. It was a very special place and I wished I stayed another night. I was working remotely too and while that is not the best option in Chania, this hotel was a really good place to do that. The staff also had excellent restaurant and food recommendations. They were very warm and helpful.
The location was great, right in front of the beach. Cleanliness was superb with towels changed everyday.
The jacuzzi on the terrace was a bonus but could be perfect if the walls of the terrace were made of glass instead of concrete to enable a perfect view even when you're in the jacuzzi.
The hotel was so kind to allow us to stay in our room till we departed for the airport in the evening with a nominal fee of 30 euros. They even provided a cost free transfer to the airport.
Beautifully designed little boutique hotel on a picturesque street in the old town of Chania. Nikos, the host was truly the loveliest we have encountered out of many on our travels around Crete. He gave us advice on the best breakfasts and coffees and was over and above helpful with our bags and taxi bookings. we have stayed in many lovely place in Chania over the years but this one is our favourite now as it just ticks all the boxes.
-Exceptional service. Felt more like a luxury 5 star hotel because of the staff. W had a flight at 6am, the hotel had provided us with breakfast bags when checking out. Ordering transport, upgrade of room, help with all practical matters etc. Stayed at 5 star luxury hotels and their service did not match Samaria.
-Location just 5 mins walk to old town and 1 min from central bus station.
-Great rainfall shower.
Best place to stay in Chania. It is always my first stop in Crete before i go travelling. I stayed here many times even before renovation (when it was Argo beach hotel) now rooms and restaurant are renovated, tidy and fresh. Great location, a little bit more quiet than in main port and this view from balcony...
Lovely hostess and amazing facilities, close to transport and 2 minutes to Old Town and the Port. Bus depot is literally 45 seconds from the apartment and it was the perfect place to stay!! Recommend you stay here if you can, stunning place and Rita is fantastic!! Thank you for the warm welcome to Crete!!
Manolis, the host, was really helpful, welcoming and gave us nice tips about Chania and Crete. The location was perfect having stores and restaurants close by as well as walking distance from the center. The apartment is big and spacious. The pool was easily accessible from the facing hotel.
The flat is very nice, clean and comfortable. It has big balcony. The owner is really nice person. He gave us tips and recomendations. There is a private parking spot. Chania old town is 30 min walking from the flat. We are happy that we choose this apartment for our stay in Crete.
Nice little beach front hotel. Walking distance to the old port (about 2km - but nice seafront route). People are nice, theres immediate access to a beach (although not the best in Crete!) and there's free parking as well. The place is clean and they bring fresh towels every day.
The attention to detail in the room, the breakfast, the location and the lovely staff. We're traveling around Crete staying in different hotels, some more expensive than this one, but none have provided all the little extras and level of customer service we received at Epavli.
Everything, loved the location, more residential but 2 minutes from the beach, bus stop and amazing local restaurant on the corner, 5 minutes to local tavernas bypassing what must be the best bakery in Crete, dare I say, Greece!, 15 minutes to the old town. Lovely pool.
We spent one night here upon arriving in Chania before taking off to our main accommodations on Crete. We liked the style of the boutique hotel and the location was perfect. The room was a good size. Overall we were happy with our stay.
The wonderful location in charming old chania town
The warnhearted host and crew are really impressive
Thanks for the surprising fruits and bread for free and we can take on the car to the beautiful beaches in west Crete !
Located on a walking street in old town, a few meters away from the harbour. Many restaurants at your doorstep. Hotel has just 3 rooms. Complimentary coffee and tea.
perfect hotel, everything felt new and fresh, many sunbeds and a good pool to cool off in. this was the best of 4 hotels we visited in our time in crete.
