The hotel was in a great location, with a short walk to the Harbor and Old Town. The staff was excellent, and we really enjoyed the view from the rooftop pool/bar area. Parking can be tough around the hotel due to nearby construction, but we'd highly recommend!

Pros:

The breakfast was fabulous w varied foods, staff attentive to prepare egg dishes as requested or bring a sophisticated gourmet coffee to your table fresh fruits, local cheeses, meats & Cretan soecialities everything you could want plus the most fabulous staff, friendly courteous & helpful in every way. The rooms were perfectly clean w ebery attention to detail & we used all amenities. The rooftop pool bar & food prepared was also to perfection & cheerfully delivered w fantastic views of the ocean & old city! The climate control perfectly efficient & quiet for our comfort; plus a quality large sliding door to breezy private balcony gave us the option for fresh air, listening to the ocean waves so relaxing plus drying clothes on the provided rack.
The bathroom had a huge vanity which was & a large modern shower, so convenient when getting ready. The location was perfect access to points of interest & staff went out of their way to help with parking…our car was always within view & accessible. This is 100% satisfaction which i’ve never encountered. Upon return to Crete we wont stay anywhere else but SanSal in Chania! I love SanSal staff Renata Sotiris Kostas Zoe Haris et al 💜

Pros:

Really great new hotel! We had an executive suite with a large balcony overlooking the sea. The hotel is just at the edge of old town and the beach strip. Perfect! Away from the scrum but a 6 minute walk to get to the heart of old town or the beach and its restaurants. Parking provided at no charge. Breakfast was very nice. Local favorites! Fresh food. Alexia at reception really made our stay special! Wonderful warm greetings. Great advice on local spots. She really made the difference between good and EXCELLENT!

Pros:

If you’re planning a stay in Chania and seeking an elevated hotel experience, this is the place. The location is excellent—close to the harbor and old town—while the staff, including Haris at the front desk, Kostas at the rooftop pool bar, and Apostolis in the breakfast area, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was spacious, thoughtfully appointed, and exceptionally quiet. We will definitely be back!

Pros:

From the moment we arrived at SanSal Boutique Hotel, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. The location is perfect – right on the seafront with breathtaking views, yet only a short stroll from Chania’s old town and harbour.

Our room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony overlooking the sea made each morning feel magical. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the amenities exceeded our expectations.

Breakfast was a daily highlight – fresh, plentiful, and full of local Cretan flavours, served with a smile. The rooftop pool and bar were perfect for relaxing in the sun with a cocktail while enjoying the panoramic views.

What really sets SanSal apart is the staff. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, offering helpful tips and genuine hospitality that made us feel truly welcome.

SanSal Boutique Hotel is more than just a place to stay – it’s an experience we will treasure. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chania.

Pros:

Absolutely amazing stay !! 5 stars in every aspect . Rooms, view, staff & facilities were truly fabulous.
The hotel was in the perfect location. 5 minute walk ( 10 min stroll) along coast to old town, or 2 mins if you walked along old walls.
Chania is a beautiful place .

Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at SanSal Chania. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and really helpful. We had some lovely meals out thanks to their recommendations. Our room was immaculate and we had bottled water in our fridge daily. Great coffee pods were supplied for our in- room machine. The room came with a hairdryer and an ironing board. Our bathroom was spacious and came with really nice, locally sourced complimentary shower gels, soap and moisturisers. The bed was spacious, very comfortable and the only time we heard noise from outside was on one morning as there was construction locally. We even received an evening turn down service which we were not expecting and this was lovely to come back to after a day of exploring- fresh towels were supplied if necessary and the room had received a general tidy up. This hotel is 10 minute walk (if that) into Old Town Chania. There is plenty of parking available if you hire a car. We received a free bottle of wine with our stay which was great as we actually stayed over my birthday. The infinity pool on the roof was 10/10, providing great views. The pool was very clean and we did not have difficulty finding a lounger. The bar on the rooftop was also great with reasonably priced cocktails and great food. Breakfast was also delightful- some of the best scrambled eggs I’ve had abroad and the selection of local foods on offer at the buffet was fantastic. Overall I could not fault this hotel and would 100% stay again. Thank you!!
