Penelopi Rooms

We found the HEART of Chania at a reception desk at Penelope rooms. Athina you are an absolute star and this is my honest review. A humble block of apartments where the highest standard of cleanliness and fresh smelling laundry awaits you. This is a comfortable place where you can experience the joys of being in Chania, let your hair down and not fuss about having to dress up. It is all about a stroll on Nea Chora beach, literally a stone’s throw away and walking barefoot back into the room. Rooms are equipped with A/C, a fridge and a TV, WIFI was great. We had a lovely balcony from which I could hear the rumble of the waves. There is a great coffee shop in the corner overlooking the beach, a great substitute for a hotel breakfast lounge or meeting point and a bakery just behind the property with the most amazing coffee and breakfast goodies. This is ideal for beach lovers who prefer being close to the sea and then walk into the old town which is only a 15 minute pleasant walk away or a €5 taxi ride. There are also many restaurants along the beach to suit everyone’s taste and budget. Do not hesitate to book! …

We had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean, the towels were so soft and smelling very nice, the area is quiet but very close to the beach. Athina, the owner is a wonderful lady who helped us with everything we asked and even let us check out very late, as we had the flight in the afternoon. We were really happy with everything and would surely come again. Highly recommended!

Just to start, the hotel is close to Chania town (10-15 minutes by walk). For the days that you don’t plan to go populer beaches of Crete, there is very nice beach by 1-min walk distance. Its location is very quiet during nights comparing to old town, btw old town is very close for dinner and lunch. Its location was perfect for us. The hotel is very very clean and cosy. The staff is very kind and helpful. This hotel is highly recommended for couples and families with children.
