Hotels near Souda airport

Pros: Location was good, away from city centre, a car is useful. Studio apartment was a decent size, exceptionally clean, basic but with everything you'd need. Bathroom was equally clean & adequate. Yiannis our host was available by phone when we arrived late in the evening, his communication before & during the stay was excellent. I would highly recommend this establishment if you want a quiet place tto stay.

Cons: Television in the room was very small. Nothing else.

Pros: We loved absolutely everything about our apartment! Yiannis’ hospitality was the best we have ever received, making us feel at home and helping us with anything we needed. Yiannis also gave us great advice for things to do during our stay, including amazing tours and very reasonably priced restaurants with top class food. The apartment was spotless and very spacious, with everything you need in the room. Sunbathing by the pool was amazing, with plenty of sun loungers available, and we only had to walk 10 minutes from the apartments to the beautiful Kalathas beach. I would love to come back here and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is coming to Crete!!! Due to the impact COVID-19 has had in and around Chania, the bus services are limited around this area of Kalathas so I would recommend renting a car if possible.

Cons: Nothing, it was one of the best stays I have ever had!!

Pros: Great stay, superb host! Villa is super quiet, ideal to relax. The appartement is spotless clean with new furniture and comfy bed. Beach near by, free parking... Just give it a go!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The place was really beautiful. The sea view from the pool was amazing. Yiannis is a very heartwarming person. We checked in late at night, it was no problem, and he even filled up the fridge with food and drinks for our breakfast on the next morning. He was very helpful with all our issues and provided excellent advice for what to do in Crete. He even a have us a little present before leaving! All in all, it was a really great experience at Esplanade Apartments!

Pros: The apartment was in a very lovely neighborhood and the complex was very clean and modern. The room was well furnished and spacious. But what was the best was the host. Very friendly and always helpful, providing us with anything we asked for. The communication with Yiannis was super easy, he replied quickly and gave us tips for trips. He even provided some breakfast for our fridge upon our arrival! We loved our stay!

Pros: Apartment was huge Views were amazing Everything was so clean Pool area was so nice Atmosphere was comfortable Owner was so nice and very helpful whenever we asked something

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Welcoming, safe, great for lone travellers, especially women, or family or couples. Beautiful sea view; quiet, restful, immaculately clean, staff show every kindness. Yannis is the perfect host. Would def go again & highly recommend.

Cons: It's about 20 min (leisurely walk) from beach, but enjoyed the landscape and gardens; felt much fitter returning home.

Pros: We had a wonderful time in Esplanade and it’s not only because of beauty of Crete but the good energy of this place. The first person who welcomed us was our host Yannis. He is a great person, super positive and funny. He recommended us a lot of beautiful places so if you’re staying for a few days he will recommend you what to see on Crete. He knew exactly what we needed and we are happy to meet him and spent time in Esplanade apartments. The room was very clean, big and had an AC. We had everything what we needed like kitchen utensils, hair dryer etc. We were pleasantly surprised by the great equipment of the room. There is a nice swimming pool with a perfect view for a sunsets. We highly recommend this place and the host. Thank you for everything Yannis and we hope to see you next year.

Pros: I stayed for two nights (04.-06.November 2020) at Kavos Hotel. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel has a nice layout. Room was modern and has a nice design. I felt very comfortable. A bottle of wine, some sweets and olive oil as welcome gift. Lovely infinity pool. Only very few other guests, as it was the end of the season - so it was very quiet, which I appreciated very much.

Cons: I was only able to use the infinity pool on my first day of the stay. Temperature dropped significantly overnight and the pool was too cold to use on the second and third day of my stay. But that is not the fault of the hotel, as it was my own risk, when travelling at the beginning of November. So I am happy, I was able to use the infinity pool on the first day. The restaurant is good and affordable, but beeing in Greece I missed Tzatziki on the menu.

Position is not in the city centre, but it's very quiet and comfortable for people coming by car, the hotel offers free parking spots and a free transfer from the hotel to the city centre. Bonus points to the bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor: it has a magnificent view, buffet breakfast has a good choice but try staying also for lunch or dinner, food is exceptional and service is super friendly and professional!

Pros: the ladies were taking good care of the room, would be cleaned every day and all the towels were sealed in plastic bags. they have quite a good care against covid. even the telephone is sealed.

Pros: I stayed one night here and I had a flight in the morning. The room was super comfortable, I had a nice view to the sea and the garden and was quite quiet. The owners adorable. I would stay here again.

Pros: Lena, the owner of the hotel was beyond nice and lovable. Her hotel is so cozy and beutiful. The rooms are very greek style, clean and feeling being there is beyond of my expectation. The room had everything, clean towels, free botles of water even sleepers. Breakfast was good and eating in the morning with the sea view is everything. She gave us gifts, who does that? We got botle of vine and eco olive oil. I traveled almost everywhere in the world but this hotel is for everyone who is looking for the best experiance while traveling. Good job! More people like Lena and the world would be so much better.

Cons: /

Pros: Just exceptional. Complimentary water and wine. Gift. Everything is beyond my expectations.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The owner is polite and provided us with a free gift of greek wine and water. The rooms are large and is easy to park a car outside.

Cons: There were guests in the hotel were extremely noisy arround midnight and it was not easy to persuade the hotel owner/manager to act. The toilet flush does not work properly, and you are told not put toilet paper there. Do not forget that you should go up the staircase two floors to get to your room. We asked for a double bed but that was not provided to us. Instead they gave us a two single beds that were joined together. The use of face masks is not fully enforced at the hotel like everywhere else in greece, so if you want a covid-19 free vacation, get away from Greece!

Pros: Everything, the kindness of the hosts ! Really kind people, willing to do wathever they can to make you feel at home :)

Pros: The location if perfect very close to the old city but still quiet, the stuff were generally very kind, the breakfast was basic and good, good value for money

Cons: The rooms are small and very basic, there was no kettle, tea or coffee in the room and no cups (they brought after we asked), the minibar was empty although the site says it should have drinks and snacks (Because of Corona??), they clean the room only once in two days (because of Corona, but please say that in advance) and forgot to clean our room on the second day (they come right away when we called but still), the life guard was super tough when we asked for towels, she told us: "seat on the pool chairs and wait till I will come and tell you the rules"?!?! not the best attitude for someone who comes for holiday.

Pros: Clean room, comfy beds, nice staff

Pros: Very nice hotel in good location. A few free parking places available in front of the hotel and two big free parkings nearby. Friendly and helpful staff.

Nice breakfasts (fresh orange juice, variety of coffees, except cold meals always sth warm like fried eggs/sausages etc.).

Pros: Lovely little hotel , the staff were friendly and helpful

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We had a great time in Chania and Crete. Ontas traditional hotel was a very pretty traditional building in the old town. It was between the more local and the touristy area of the old town. Very nice location. The facilities were great and Mrs Afrodite very helpful with details and recommendations. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that is interested in a good location, great facilities and great value for money.

Cons: On the more busy weekend there was a little more noise and vibe in the area. The Wi-fi signal strength in our room (101) was not great.

Pros: Very nice place to stay to discover Chania area. Very clean, big swimming pool, very nice staff. No breakfast during Covid.

Pros: Lovely people, great location and beautiful hotel

Cons: All was good

Pros: Fantastic location, superb friendly staff, wish we planned to stay longer. Only 15 mins drive from the airport

Pros: We (husband and I) loved this hotel and we want to thank all of the staff for making our holiday special. The hotel is on the main road to Chania, a short drive from the airport and very easy to find. The star attraction is the view from the terrace, and the sunsets were spectacular. There are restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance but we chose to dine at the hotel, and the food was delicious. The menu was varied but we stuck with the owners' suggestions most of the time and portion sizes were generous. Nothing was too much trouble and they even brought our meal to us on the terrace one evening. A mature garden with lots of trees acted as a sound barrier and the pool area was quiet. The hotel is very clean, the staff were pleasant and attentive, and although light foods were laid out for the breakfast buffet a cooked breakfast was available on request, at no charge. The owners and most of the staff speak English so communication was not a problem. I have recommended this hotel to friends, and I would definitely return.

Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall sense was of a family-run hotel with a personal touch. But at the same time the facilities were really good - and the view from the rooftop was spectacular.

Cons: There was really nothing, so it's hard to write more than a sentence on this! It might be worth mentioning, for those who like Italian-style coffee, that you won't find it at the hotel - but next door there's an excellent bakery that does good espresso. And good pastries.

Pros: The staff is very friendly and food in restaurant is delicious.

Pros: Everything was great !Thank you

Pros: Excellent and kind staff, amazing breakfast ! The hotel is well located, everything was perfect, They made our honeymoon unforgettable Thanks !

Pros: Really friendly staff and great service. The room was clean and spacious, comfy bed, great shower and lovely view of the sea from the balcony. Short walk into town and not far to drive to nice beaches. Overall a great stay

Pros: Very friendly staff, and also very helpful! Thanks for the tips for Samaria :)

Cons: Nothing to add.

Pros: Very friendly and nice staff. Very good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Nice facilities. Parking in and around the hotel.

Cons: It's was not possible to regulate the air-condition. It was just cold and too strong. And the hotel is a "bit far" if your mostly wanna be around the port and center.

Pros: Highly recommended and I’d stay at Irida again. The staff, property, facilities, 2 bottles of bottled water free in the little fridge. Wanted to stay longer and were very accommodating, lovely demeanour, I had a sea view room which I very much enjoyed!

Cons: Faultless, there isn’t anything that I didn’t like, au contraire I was pleasantly surprised.

Pros: The building has a great style, since it used to be an embassy. The rooms are very good, comfortable with everything you need. The breakfast was ok too.

Cons: Because of Covid the rooms were not cleaned by default, you have to request it. And also you had to ask a waiter for any item you want for the breakfast. this may be solved by using a check list form like other hotels do, this will decrease the interaction between the waiters and the people.

Pros: Peaceful, high quality in every respect. Relaxing and excellent staff.

Pros: The hotel was built in 1850 and was renovated in 1990. It’s architecture is classical and absolutely amazing! Rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. The reception and “living room” area is large and contains a wood burning fireplace. This hotel will take you back to the way things were in the 1900’s. The staff are exceptional. If we come back to Chania we will only stay here!

Cons: The only negative about the hotel is that it’s a twenty minute walk to town. However, there’s a city bus stop across the street and takes about 10 minutes (with stops) and costs a little over a euro.

Pros: Atmosphere and location

Pros: We stayed only one night at Halepa hotel. This hotel is a gem! The staff is very professional and eager to help. The room was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. We used hotel shuttle to get to the airport, very efficient.

Cons: The Jacuzzi is cold :D

Pros: We liked the beautiful rooms, the nice personnel at the reception, the lunch package for our trip to Samaria gorge and the parking facilities. We would book halepa hotel again!

Cons: -

Pros: Staff is very friendly and helpful. Was not a problem to leave our car on their secured parking after the check-out for half a day while we took a strol through the city. Location is nice, they try to keep the atmosphere and interioir of the former embassy, which gives the entrance hall a certain flair.

Cons: n/a

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful building and interesting decor with many paintings and impressive antiques.

Cons: It’s located on the edge of Chania on a busy main road.

Pros: The location was very convenient and much less crowded than the old Venetian Port /historic center which was a ten to fifteen minute beautiful walk away along the waterfront. Staff was extremely helpful and gave us excellent advice regarding activities, restaurants, bus and boat schedules. The house is historic, dating back to Ottoman rule. It faces the sea and the view of the sea is breathtaking. Charming and full of Cretan atmosphere!

Pros: I love that the building has been family owned for 90 years. The ladies who own it are very kind and welcoming. I loved the balcony!! Words cannot explain how amazing the views are, not only of the sea but also of the city. Great location and very friendly staff. We enjoyed breakfast each morning as well. I would love to stay here again.

Cons: Very hard to find parking

Pros: The ancient but well maintained building creates a positive atmosphere and you have a fantastic breakfast with a special view. The owners and the staff makes you feel at home, they takes care of you in a gentle way. And if you have the opportunity it is also interesting to speak with them.

Pros: Very friendly reception. Very clean. Excellent location for the concert we were attending, also for the harbour and bars etc. On street and public car parking available. Unfortunately due to current COVID restrictions, there was no breakfast available however we were able to get this just a very short walk away. Would definitely recommend this as a basic, cheap but very convenient hotel.

Pros: Fabulous location, short walk into the old town and great variety of restaurants right at the end of our street. Air conditioning was great, large bed with wardrobe, and large balcony.
