Hanim Boutique Hotel

What a little gem!! The hotel is so central that everything is within walking distance. We were greeted by Idomeneas even though it was a late arrival and he was so warm and full of tips on where to visit and eat. The room was spacious and oh my, the aircon work a treat especially it was still so hot in October. Chania is a rustic town with little alley ways and my husband and me had lots of fun exploring. Of special mention is the fantastic breakfast which had lots of authentic Greek bites. Will definitely stay in this hotel again if we visit Chania.

The best place to stay in Chania. Location was perfect. In the heart of the city while very easy to get a taxi and walk to with luggage. Idomeneas was very helpful. He waited for us until 9:30 pm : our arrival time to explain about places to visit and he oriented us to the details of apartment. Even more when we checked out he gave us a gift of olive oil, herbs and…. He arranged a very reliable transfer car (George)from Heraklion and we really could rely on him for anything. Breakfast was 5 minutes away in the Center of city infront of Cathedral and the true Cretan breakfast. We really enjoyed our time. The apartment was clean and the cleaner was cleaning our rooms every day! They even provided us towels for beach. I highly recommend this property.

Very charming hotel in the centre of Chania old town. The staff at the Hanim are all very welcoming, always trying to help and give you the best advice about where to go and eat. My greatest thank you to Irina (please forgive me if I’am confusing names) . We arrived in very hot afternoon, she provided us with water and a delicious traditional kind of pudding that I can’t remember the name, but this was life saver for us. Rooms are a good size, super clean, and the most important to me…… A/C woks, and it was perfect for the hot summer days!

At arrival we were met by not only a warm welcome from a friendly face but a lovely food taster, water, offer of drink and a long discussion to advise us about not only Chania but also all the rest of our stay in Crete! A wealth of fantastic ideas about where to eat, what to see and do, which we used a lot during our stay. The house is beautifully restored, our room was on the second floor and out (heavy) bags were brought in the room for us (no lift). The bed was comfy, there were tea/coffee making facilities in the room as well as the option of cooking for one selves (we did not use it) and a small fridge, a comfortable sitting area and of course the lovely view from the rooftop. The breakfasts were like none we experienced in the past, a feast, almost a aster menu. 3 course breakfast brought for you by the chef, only from local produces, all origin explained, a feast for the taste, tea and coffee generously given. We staid 2 nights only but would have happily staid longer. We met a couple who had staid there several times and admitted they were coming back for the breakfast. If we ever come again to Chania, I must admit we probably would do the same. Thank you Hanim for an excellent stay.

A really cosy and lovely place in the heart of the old city of Chania. Incredible hospitalty from the hosts, we were greeted welcome late in the evening by one the sisters who owns the place with honey and flavoured water. Breakfast is not included but a gourmet breakfast can be ordered. Don’t miss it, it is delicious!

We stayed four nights in Chania at Hanim and we are absolutely amazed by the hospitality of Vrana, Rena and Sokrates - the rooms were big, comfortable and equipped with everything you need - every day, we received valuable advice from Vrana and Rena about where to go and eat and how to best explore Crete - and the breakfast, omg, we never had something like this: Sokrates prepares this every day fresh, four courses, with only local/regional ingredients- super tasty If you want to learn how the real “Crete” feels, go there. Overall, one of the best hotel stays we ever had- thank you so much team, you are awesome.

One of the best hotels to stay at while in Chania Town. The premises exude a very pleasing, cozy feel while the hosts make you feel right at home, and are some of most friendly and accommodating people you will meet on all your travels. We arrived on a very late flight and they had a taxi prepared to meet us at the airport and even went so far as to check us in at 2am! The breakfast offered by Socrates is not to be missed, as it will probably be one of the best meals you will experience in all of Crete during your stay. This is the perfect family-run boutique hotel, and Rena goes out of her way to make you wish to return every year (which we just might!) Thank you again to all the staff, we cannot wait to come back :)

I don’t think I’ve ever met a friendlier staff that also provides a great hotel. The rooms are large, clean, affordable, and in a perfect location. But again, the staff is so kind and go out of their way. Their little touches make it above expectations. I will definitely be booking this hotel again.

We first stayed at the Hanim in 2019 and loved it - and Chania - so much that our first post-lockdown trip abroad had to be back there. Socrates' four course breakfasts are as good as ever and Rena couldn't be more hopeful in ensuring you have a great time. The staff at the Hanim are all very friendly and helpful. All the comments from my previous review still apply. Large airy quiet air-conditioned rooms with big beds; bars and restaurants right outside your door. lots of interesting individual shops around the harbour and in the numerous little alleyways that make Chania so picturesque. Now money is getting tighter the Hanim is great value too. Hopefully we will be back again before the travel insurance gets too extortionate but we have delightful memories of the Hanim and Rena and Socrates to see us through the English winter. Efcharisto Hanim!
