    Clean and modern in a quiet location. Rooms are spacious. Comfortable beds and pillows. Nice bathrooms.

    The walk to the old town of Chania is about 25 minutes, we didn't mind that at all, because we enjoyed the walk and the quiet area, but if someone is looking to be in the center of old town- that isn't the case. Again- we enjoyed it very much.

    the hotel is gorgeous, spotless and the family suite was so comfortable with a loft and separated bathroom for the older kids. The staff is beyond kind, they gave us the best recommendations for places to visit, were so welcoming and kind and just happy to help us in the most personal and genuine way! we arrived to the hotel at 2 am, after 24 hours of traveling, and we woke up to the most stunning view we could have imagined.

    I can't think of a single thing

    The Tanneries is an absolutely perfect hotel. Everything is as you need it to be - it's clean, peaceful, easy to access delicious food, views are beautiful, staff are always on hand, air con is quiet, rooms are beautiful. It's such a good place to go to if you're looking for an absolute hassle free trip.

    There were no negatives, in my opinion, which is amazing, as I am generally very critical and have traveled around the world. Outsanding! Bravo! Highly recommended. This is a 5 star resort worth of Michelin Guide status.

    The location is absolutely wonderful, assuming you are comfortable with a very nice, nearly flat, 2km walk to the port and harbor area, which for us is perfect. The location is directly on the water, and it is not really great for swimming, but it is amazing to enjoy a meal and watch the morning or the sunset! It seems this location and the view are a favorite of instagrammers all around, so if you stay, you enjoy it every morning. I can not say enough about the staff. They are all extremely friendly and supportive with any ask, personable... wonderful! The restaurant also serves fantastic food, which breakfast is included and offered to hotel guests only. Amazing experience to eat every breakfast on a patio with an Instagram worthy view, the sounds of the ocean, and the friendly crew of local cats. The room was also perfect. Large comfortable bed, with nice size double sink bathroom and steam shower, so you also get a private steam room. We stayed 6 nights, and did not want to leave. I cannot say enough great things about this resort. I would recommend it to anyone.

    The summer blanket was thin - so the staff delivered thicker blankets for us the next day. They were so courteous and quick to respond. Always went above and beyond. The view from the room was unreal and it was so clean too.

    The hotel lays at seafront and has a small indoor pool. Loungers are at disposable to lay in the front at a few footsteps of the sea. Marvelous BUT one never sees a staff member to ask for a drink, etc apart from a menu laying at the pool. It is also very hot in the sun and when we kindly requested an umbrella we never received an answer nor an umbrella. We do appreciate that the hotel does want to show an upscale image and not copy the mass beach effect however the place invites to relax. We did not understand what one or two nice umbrellas could change the standard nor staff occasionally appearing. Overall we loved the hotel but it felt a bit cold apart frim the smiley concierge and the ladies at breakfast.

    We found the hotel by coincidence walking around Chania earlier. Intrigued we walked in and were astonished by the location, the architecture. We booked for a week. The smile and the warm welcome of the concierge at arrival was really nice. The check in was easy but basic. We were told the breakfast hours and the spa facilities were describied briefly. Our room was beautiful with a great side and front seaview. Breakfast was excellent and one of the ladies really entertaining, helpful and welcoming. The housekeeping service was perfect. We walked around Halepa and to Chania daily. We did enjoy the calm and the beauty of the hotel surrounding.

    My stay was absolutely wonderful in every way. The room was spotless, the staff were friendly and attentive. The location was perfect, right on the water and walking distance to the old town. The restaurant food was delicious and staff there were lovely too. This was my second time staying and it was just as great as the first.

    Too many electronic controls for simple tasks in the room and none working properly, it's a pity. Also the light in the bathroom is not proper for make-up despite the magnifying mirror.

    This hotel has a wonderful sense of design—minimalist, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The service is attentive and considerate, making the stay even more enjoyable. The room offers stunning views, allowing guests to take in the beauty of the sea up close at any time. It’s just a pleasant 10+ minutes walk along the coast to reach the city center. Staying here for three to four days would be an incredibly relaxing and delightful experience. Highly recommended!

    The only minus we can think of is that the heated pool is not really heated..(visited in November). But it is such a small thing comparing to all the pluses.

    We had a great stay! The room was big and spacious, clean, felt new. And the view.. Amazing. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The hotel is not located in the city center (but not very far), which for us was exactly what we wished for - peace and quiet. The breakfast was great and also the dinner at the restaurant!
