The Porto Veneziano Hotel enjoys a prime location right on Chania's harborfront, offering excellent views, with some guests especially enjoying the sunsets. Many find the breakfast excellent, with a variety of options. The location makes it easy to walk to shops and restaurants; plus, the hotel provides convenient on-site parking, a significant advantage in Chania. However, some guests have found the filter coffee less than satisfactory. The rooms are modern, clean, and well-equipped, including effective air conditioning.

amazing stay!

fantastic location very nice staff
the location proved fantastic! on-site parking offered a definite advantage, simplifying logistics greatly. the staff demonstrated very nice helpfulness, and the city created a nice experience with its fabulous restaurants.
the soap and shampoo came from dispensers. i found this a bit basic, especially when compared to other hotels i have visited. small bottles of water were complimentary, but i got charged for a large bottle i did not consume.

eh, It Was Okay

The location was acceptable. It was close to many restaurants.
I wasn't THRILLED with the shower. The water pressure felt more like a dribble than a proper wash, a little irritating after a long day.

The hotel was okay, I guess. The coffee was TERRIBLE. It tasted like it had been brewed last Tuesday. the reception staff weren't exactly winning any awards for warmth. It was more like dealing with robots programmed to say 'welcome'.
