Hyperion City Hotel

Hyperion City Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a wonderful hotel. We were on the 5th floor and enjoyed a spacious balcony and great ocean views. The room was spacious and well appointed. The shower had a drenching rain shower head and great water pressure. Nice coffee/tea offerings and refridge including a few bottles of water, juice, and wine. Breakfast buffets were amazing with lots of variety; my wife is vegetarian and loved it! The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Eleni spent much time insuring we had great tips for site seeing. We didn't take advantage of the pool or spa but looked small but inviting. Great hotel. An unexpected jewel very near old town. Would love to stay again. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Chania?
The best area to stay in Chania for most travellers is the Old Town, particularly within the Venetian Harbour district.

The Old Town is the historic heart of Chania, characterised by its narrow, labyrinthine alleys, Venetian mansions, and Ottoman-era buildings. The Venetian Harbour itself is a focal point, lined with seafood restaurants and cafes, and dominated by the iconic Lighthouse. This area is largely pedestrianised, making it delightful for strolling, and you'll find numerous boutiques selling local crafts and products.

For couples seeking a romantic and picturesque setting, staying directly within the Venetian Harbour area is ideal. You'll be steps away from charming waterfront dining, enjoy stunning views, and have easy access to the Maritime Museum and the Firkas Fortress. The evenings here are particularly pleasant, with the harbour lights reflecting on the water.

Families might find the area just a short walk outside the immediate harbour, towards the Splantzia district, a good fit. This section of the Old Town is still very central but tends to be a little quieter in the evenings.
