For our vacations, we prefer to select a centrally located, good hotel. Hotel Samaria´s quiet standard room in upper floor, with a view over the city and to the mountains, wooden floor, extremely comfy beds and a modern bathroom fulfilled our expectations.
The staff was friendly and attentive. A tasty buffet with local flavor was set in the spacious breakfast room facing the pool. There is a small, well-equipped gym in the basement. During our stay, among business travelers, there seemed to be many sportive people. We also valued the good traffic connections. The bus station just around the corner provides regular bus services to many parts of Crete, even between the airport and Hania center.
The modern and scarce decoration makes the hotel atmosphere slightly impersonal. What we were lacking were table and chairs in the balcony and daily newspapers in English in the lobby. All in all, our experience from this hotel was very positive!
