Eleftheria Hotel

Two words - Dimitris and Panagiotis. Two superb gentlemen that make great hosts and represent this superb hotel befittingly well !! Dimitris’ Strawberry Daiquiri’s are to die for, ask my girlfriend, she knows ! It is our final night here and have had a wonderful stay. Upgraded to a ‘superior’ room on arrival, very modern, very clean. Found all the staff very pleasant, very helpful. All in all this is a superb location, quiet, up a hill, either 10 minute walk down to the main strip or use one of the hotels free coach shuttles that run on the hour. Pool area real nice, Dimitri’s pool bar well maintained with a good selection of food and drink. Stayed bed and breakfast, terrific buffet style, great selection of savouries and sweets. Could go on and on really. We’re booking to come here again, 10/10 !!

Just home from a super week at the Eleftheria. We had a room furthest away from the reception and pool area, so lovely & quiet with great views of the sea. All the staff were amazing, 2 that stood out were Thais and Ikiss (which I’m sure I’ve spelt wrongly), they couldn’t have done more for us, such a lovely pair. The pool area was lovely, though the step which was broken in an earlier review was still off bounds during our visit. The rooms on the Jet2 website which we booked with, aren’t what we arrived to, but it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed; though lacked character. The hotel is up a hill, we didn’t walk it as we took advantage of the minibus service which runs every 2 hours. Chania old town is charming and breathtaking taking in equal measures, the bus is €2 and runs every 15-20 minutes, you have to pay the characterful cobbled streets a visit. All in all a memorable stay, we’d definitely go back, but return trips aren’t our thing so likely won’t. 9/10

This was a last minute booking and our original choice in Chania was no longer available. How lucky we were! The hotel is situated on a hill overlooking Aghia Marina. There are 3 buildings and we were in the one furthest from reception. The room was spacious and very clean. Plenty of storage space, big shower with constant hot water, fridge, sink and hob (we didn't use), large comfortable bed, and a safe available for a small fee. We were on the ground floor so had a patio area. Large TV and good Air Conditioning. The grounds are well looked after, plenty of trees and flowers etc. The main block houses reception, dining room and access to the bar and pool area. We booked for b&b but evening meals are also available. The breakfast was plentiful and varied, offering cold meats, cheeses, salad, several types of bread, pastries, cereals, eggs etc. 4 types of fresh fruit juices and 2 coffee machines, ensuring there wasn't a massive queue for drinks in the morning. There is a nice sized pool with a bar which, as far as I could tell, was open from just after breakfast until late evening. All the staff we encountered were very welcoming and happy to deal with any questions we had. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk down to the seafront, it is a pleasant walk along a twisty road with lovely views of the olive groves, mountains and sea. The walk back is a bit more challenging, especially when the weather is hot. The hotel offers a minibus service to and from the seafront, it runs every couple of hours and has to be booked, you only have to give 5 minutes notice so this wasn't an issue.

The hotel is up a hill with some stunning views but could be scary/put you off if it weren't for the highly efficient mini bus transfers that run several times a day down into the resort. We only booked for breakfast and am pleased as the food wasn't amazing sadly. We had a room at the rear of the low rise hotel with great views across to the sea. It was a good size but could do with a refurbish. The aircon worked like a dream thankfully as it was rather hot at night. We had to ask for a kettle which was supplied the following morning, but no tea bags coffee etc. We had taken our own so that really wasn't a problem. The bathroom was clean but dishevelled...the shower curtain had seen better days. There was always room for the 4 of us to sit together around the pool which was kept very clean. One of the steps was broken and wasn't repaired whilst we were there. The bar man and lady were both very friendly and served us with a smile, the food was quite reasonable and the drinks prices were not too bad. Pool/beach towels were available at reception for 1 euro a day. All in all not too bad a place if you want somewhere to sunbathe and lay your head. Lots of great restaurants in the old town.

Always welcoming, 6th time back, Georgia, Stella, Katerina are always so friendly and helpful, just love it here absolutely awesome will return again. Lovely time chania town is a must, eat on the right side of the harbour food is awesome here

Booked this holiday 12 months ago, selected Superior double room. What z shock when we got there, the room was at the back of the hotel, it had been modernised but some very clever photographic editing had been made. The room was small and the bathroom again was so small only one person at a time could go in there The swimming pool is also a lot smaller then the pictures make out, the steps to get in were also broken. We opted for half board but ate out several nights as the food was not the best either. On closer looking there was a need for maintenance. The young lad in the restaurant and the cleaner were very friendly, the others all seemed grumpy
