Very Good

Location is excellent, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants.
Breakfast was good, the basics.
The only drawback is that our room was quite small.

The room was small for three people but still a fantastic place. It was our second visit in five years.
Great location. I highly recommend
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at El Greco in Chania. It was a further walk from the bus station than I anticipated but less than 10minutes overall and allowed me to traverse Chania Old Town on the way. Situated on one of the most chic streets in the old town, you'll be within walking distance of the city's most photographed sites.
Very clean & well-maintained
Very helpful desk staff- great restaurant recommendations!
The breakfast is very good. The hotel is right in the old town but away from a lot of commotion. We had trouble with the air conditioner but staff were able to fix it right away. I’m finding that booking through Expedia the room selection is usually not as good as directly booking with the hotel. Last time I booked through the hotel website and we got a room with a balcony view over the street. This time we got a back room with a view of a wall. Not happyn it’s Expedia. Rates might be good but you get dumped into a bad room.
This hotel is in a great location, shops and restaurants and the old port are close by. The Nea Chora beach is less than 15 min walk away. There is an excellent bakery opposite the hotel. We had a lovely room on the 3rd floor and it overlooked the street and partial view of the sea. Thank you to Flora and Aphrodite for keeping our room clean. Only downside was an uncomfortable mattress and a small bathroom. Also if you want to hire a car, parking is very difficult as it is very busy around that area. Breakfast was continental style and was available until 10:30. Thank you to the wonderful reception staff Effie and Katerina for being very friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you very much to Nikos the night staff who sorted out the television problem when it went wrong. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to returning and seeing the newly renovated El Greco next year. Thank you once again to everyone for a very pleasant stay. We highly recommend the
El Greco.
Fabulous area. The hotel claimed to be “accessible” but had two steps into the hotel and the lift was too small to fit a manual wheelchair. They did give me a downstairs room but I was unable to go to breakfast as that was down stairs. Great hotel but it is not accessible.
This place is by far the worst place, I have ever stayed at. The internet is so horrible you might not even have it. The rooms came with no irons, so my clothes were wrinkled during my stay. The breakfast isn't really much. I grabbed my breakfast out in town.
This was a 5 star stay because of the perfect location on the West part of old town Chania. The hotel is located about a block inside old town which made its Chania alley location fabulous. It’s just a block away from the water and public (free and safe) parking. The front desk staff person was welcoming and helpful. Locked luggage storage if you need that. We had the trim with a terrace. The room comfort was fine. Wonderful breakfast and coffee. We loved exploring Chania!
We were very comfortable in this hotel and had a 4th floor room with rooftop balcony. Elevator went only to 3rd floor, so the upper rooms are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. Also, had to find our own parking a number of blocks away. Being right in the Old Town was very convenient, and made having a car there unnecessary. Would definitely stay here again.
Very cute hotel in the center of town. Directly across from a delicious bakery. Parking is not so easy, but available in the area nearby. Short walking distance from the harbor and all sights. Beautiful sunset and views from the rooftop terrace.
We loved our stay at EL Greco. As soon as we got there, the staff was super friendly and helpful. This hotels location is perfect. The Harbour and light house are super close, and no matter if you make a left or right into the alleys, you will find a charming little corner. I highly recommended. The only thing I didn't like were the beds because the mattress was too hard.

Good location, but so very loud. All the doors slam and voices echo in the tiled hallways, reverberating through you at all hours of the night. Shower is very awkwardly small.
Location of the hotel was ideal - 10 min to harbor (old town, full of restaurants and shops) and 10 min to the beach. Hotel stuff were lovely and local people were charming.
Just to let you know - if you book a taxi from the hotel there is extra charge of 3 euro. Taxi fare from the airport to the hotel was 23 euro.
Hotel room didn't had any coffee/ tea making facilities but there is lovely cafe across the hotel serving Greek coffee for 2 euro.
