엘리아 팔라초 호텔

Excellent location in Chania, Very friendly staff and nice room with a terrace. Decent breakfast. But the open central stairway exposes the rooms to the coming and going of all guests, so the noise can be a challenge. But given the opportunity, we would stay here again.

We intended to book a small hotel in Chania’s old town so my wife and I settled on the Elia Palazzo and booked a superior room with a balcony. The balcony overlooked Theotokopoulou a lively narrow street that contained plenty of eating places and small shops. We had a problem with our first room where the double bed was against the wall but we were moved to an adjoining room without fuss where the bed was more accessible. It was great to sit on the balcony after breakfast and after returning from dinner to view the street scene beneath. The room and bathroom were very clean the latter containing a large shower and complementary toiletries. There was a varied selection of food for breakfast, enough to satisfy most tastes. All the staff at the hotel were friendly and extremely helpful throughout the six days we stayed there. Situated where we were, in Chania’s old town, it was easy get to and sample a large variety of tavernas. It is difficult to find a bad one in the old town. Although we didn’t use it the beach was about a ten to fifteen minute walk from our accommodation and as witnessed in the morning, our street was a favourite route. Overall this hotel ticked all the boxes for us and demanded a return visit when we are next in Chania.

This hotel is a gem! If you are looking for a big luxurious hotel with a pool then this is not the place for you. Its biggest asset is its employees. This hotel is rather small with an intimate vibe to it. If you are a solo-traveler don’t hesitate to pick this one. You will be welcomed and cared for and will eventually make new friends. Everyone from the receptionists to the chef was so warm, friendly and welcoming and did their best to make my stay unforgettable. Evelina the chef personally made sure my breakfasts were satisfying. Once she had found out I was vegan, I was provided with various vegan options every morning. She would literally check up on me every morning. Nektaria and Stelios at the reception desk were kind, helpful and informative all along. My luggage arrived a day after of my arrival and they both helped me coordinate this matter with the airline. Lastly, sweet Maria who took good care of my room, was attentive to any request I had. I cannot recommend this place enough. It felt like home away from home.

Fab location. A lovely hotel right in the heart of Chania old town, its at the start of the lanes that run through the old town. There are some lovely shops and restaurants right beside the hotel. We had a lovely room on the first floor with a small balcony overlooking the lanes. We had a lovely buffet breakfast when we left. The staff are lovely very friendly and helpful.

Just returned from a fabulous 3 night stay at this lovely hotel. It is a perfect location for the whole of Chania. The staff were all lovely and helpful. The rooms nice and spacious all well equipped with very comfortable beds. The breakfast most enjoyable. Lots of options and beautiful freshly squeezed orange juice. Already planning a return visit.

Four of us stayed for 3 nights in this delightful hotel situated in the old town of Chania to explore this idyllic venue. We used the hotels airport transfer which left us a short stroll to the hotel to be warmly greeted by Nektaria! Our stay was perfect from start to finish, rooms lived up to expectations and the staff were brilliant! Breakfast was superb with Evelyna at the helm, Maria made sure our rooms were spotless each day and Stelios was on hand to deal with all enquiries at reception along with Nektaria !!
