Loved our stay at the Akali Hotel! Beautiful facilities. In a very convenient and walkable area steps away from restaurants and Old Town. Breakfast was excellent. Also had stellar service from front desk staff (particularly Irena who was very helpful for recommendations throughout our stay). Would recommend!

Lovely. I would come again!

Fabulous hotel. Very clean and modern. Friendly staff. Everyone was friendly, from the restaurant staff, the front desk staff and the cleaners. Very lovely people. Daily housekeeping. I had new towels everyday of my stay. Nice breakfast buffet. It did not have the widest selection of food but still nice regardless. I loved my room. The bathroom was very modern and gorgeous. Although I did not request a balcony room, I still had a small balcony anyway which was nice. They do provide beach towels for you, but I never used them (I had my own). I can’t comment on the pool because I never used it, but the garden area is lovely and well maintained. Room service was not the best… I tried to order food to my room once and they did not have much food left. Anyway, it’s always better to eat out. Great location. It’s just a seven minute walk to the beach and bus station. Less than a fifteen minute walk to the old town and main seafront area. There was a great supermarket close to the hotel, which was good to pick up a few extra things for my stay. Overall, I loved my stay here. I would recommend and would come back! :D

This hotel was a lovely hotel, very clean and nice rooms. It was in a great location with easy access to the old town as well as the beaches. The staff were kind and welcoming and the food was nice for breakfast. The Greek are very lovely people who appreciate you being there, which is so nice! The pool was nice and cold which is perfect for the hot weather, and again very clean. Free aircon which I don’t see very often, hairdryer, tv and remote free. There aren’t many Sunbeds so just make sure you go there before 11 if you want to lay by the pool. There wasn’t anyone at the bar very often, we did wait for a drink as we were thirsty sitting by the pool but ended up walking to the shop. Our room was cleaned everyday and towels changed, I have never seen such a clean hotel. The thing that let the rating down is we were unfortunate to have sports teams of girls stay who were very loud until the early hours of the morning and banging on doors. We also had one of them hit the door of our room so hard, it flew wide open. We reported this to reception as we were concerned the rooms weren’t locked properly and if it was to happen again, our belongings could’ve easily been stolen. The response from the man on reception was “oh they’re going soon”, no apology and no reassurance that our door lock was working properly, would’ve like it to have been checked! He seemed very unbothered by this. Unhelpful.

Overall we enjoyed our three night stay, breakfast was very nice, staff very hospitable and friendly. Room was spacious and bar staff were excellent. I would say the hotel could improve on cleaning, bathroom was a little outdated and we found a cockroach in our room. Staff were very quick to help us however and these things happen. Gym could have better equipment and pool area could be better.

The ideal base for exploring Chania

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was very clean and the staff were so attentive - always offering to help with advice or services. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of choice and constant coffee refills . Great way to start the day. The hotel is in an ideal location around 10 mins walk to the old town. Such a nice walk in too. If you’re driving then the hotel is located not far from the main highway road that goes through all of Crete. Really handy!

The front desk girl was amazing, she directed us to beautiful areas and nice restaurants. The included breakfast was fantastic and they keep the breakfast open even later than indicated. The staff were great, don’t forget to tip for the great service. It’s a few minutes walking to Chania old port. Beautiful hotel, keep the greatness up.
