The Tanneries Hotel & Spa

What a gem! One of the best, if not the best place to stay in Chania. There are just 20 rooms, all overlooking the coast and with the soothing sound of the waves seeping through the large windows. Solid wood floors and marble bathrooms, with shower and steam shower. Very comfortable beds and very good quality toiletries. Staff are very polite and truly helpful! I am already looking forward to our return stay there!

The hotel is some way to the east of central Chania, so a taxi is needed to get to town. It's an excellent conversion and retains good features from the original building. Our room was large and interesting. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom excellent. The restaurant was reasonable, but not exceptional, although it's always lovely to sit out overlooking the little harbour. Our sleep was disturbed initially by the restaurant outside meaning we couldn't have the window open, and later on by some noisy pipe gurgles. Maybe that has been sorted?

The Tanneries is one of the finest resort hotels we've ever visited. We stayed a week. Every day we pushed the buttons to retract the black-out screens and enjoyed the sight and sound of the ocean immediately below our private balcony. For the first few days we did not want to leave the room: it was so beautiful with comfortable large bed and high quality cotton sheets and pillows. The hotel is only two years and everything is perfect in the room and hotel. The heated pool is great but you will need to decide whether to use the general steam room or the one in your room. Staff is knowledgeable, personable, and caring. The full breakfast is excellent and even creative. Dinners are excellent. We did a Greek wine tasting with Ero, the Crete Wine Ass'n chosen international representative. The massage was excellent and reasonably priced. We truly did not want to leave and plan to return with the rest of our family. We greatly appreciated the fact that the resort did not 'push' us to spend extra money on the options but let us come to appreciate what was available. It is only a 20 minute walk into Old Town Chania and about the same to drive to the airport. Car rentals can be dropped off sat the hotel. Truly, this is an amazing place and a good value.

Amazing place - staff exellent - location a bit out of the centre - maybe 2kms nice walk by the coast (so very quiet). Rooms fantastic - Very high tech with loads of sockets, usb, technology to help. The first hotel I have ever stayed in that has a power socket and 2 USB sockets in the SAFE! Only there one night so missed dinner (and breakfast that starts at 8am - a pity) - so cant comment on food. Two complementary bottles of water, and free nespresso coffee. Views very good - pool decent and gym ok. Not cheap, but probably worth the price.
