SanSal Boutique Hotel

The Breakfast was really delicious, location was perfect and having parking made everything so convenient. I really enjoyed the stay.

Great location, close but not in old town. Modern rooms On the water with walking paths in front of hotel. Friendly staff

Clean modern hotel right around the corner from Chania old town. Excellent breakfast buffet and rooftop pool and bar.

Overall a great experience

The breakfast was fabulous w varied foods, staff attentive to prepare egg dishes as requested or bring a sophisticated gourmet coffee to your table fresh fruits, local cheeses, meats & Cretan soecialities everything you could want plus the most fabulous staff, friendly courteous & helpful in every way. The rooms were perfectly clean w ebery attention to detail & we used all amenities. The rooftop pool bar & food prepared was also to perfection & cheerfully delivered w fantastic views of the ocean & old city! The climate control perfectly efficient & quiet for our comfort; plus a quality large sliding door to breezy private balcony gave us the option for fresh air, listening to the ocean waves so relaxing plus drying clothes on the provided rack. The bathroom had a huge vanity which was & a large modern shower, so convenient when getting ready. The location was perfect access to points of interest & staff went out of their way to help with parking…our car was always within view & accessible. This is 100% satisfaction which i’ve never encountered. Upon return to Crete we wont stay anywhere else but SanSal in Chania! I love SanSal staff Renata Sotiris Kostas Zoe Haris et al 💜

The hotel was in a great location, with a short walk to the Harbor and Old Town. The staff was excellent, and we really enjoyed the view from the rooftop pool/bar area. Parking can be tough around the hotel due to nearby construction, but we'd highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Sansal, it’s a close walk to everything in the area including the beach and Chania Old Town. The pool was a highlight for us and all staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

Beautiful rooftop pool with full bar and food. Very friendly staff. Great breakfast!! Very close to old town harbor. Amazing waterfront view.

Really great new hotel! We had an executive suite with a large balcony overlooking the sea. The hotel is just at the edge of old town and the beach strip. Perfect! Away from the scrum but a 6 minute walk to get to the heart of old town or the beach and its restaurants. Parking provided at no charge. Breakfast was very nice. Local favorites! Fresh food. Alexia at reception really made our stay special! Wonderful warm greetings. Great advice on local spots. She really made the difference between good and EXCELLENT!

Loved this hotel! Super clean, staff was friendly and the breakfast was great. The rooms were super spacious and the private balcony was ideal! Would definitely stay here again.

If you’re planning a stay in Chania and seeking an elevated hotel experience, this is the place. The location is excellent—close to the harbor and old town—while the staff, including Haris at the front desk, Kostas at the rooftop pool bar, and Apostolis in the breakfast area, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was spacious, thoughtfully appointed, and exceptionally quiet. We will definitely be back!

The view from the pool / bar is spectacular.

Room was excellent, breakfast was good. Staff was very helpful. We forgot our driver license, and housekeeping asked front desk to call us right away.

Really great hotel. Everything is new and clean. It is extremely well located, only a short walk to the old port and the shopping. And the staff is extremely friendly and nice. Highly recommend.

The staff are absolutely fantastic at this hotel! Five stars and more the breakfast was exceptional! The pool was so relaxing and refreshing after a long day of walking around Chania, this is the only place I will stay next time I’m in Crete. Xx

From the moment we arrived at SanSal Boutique Hotel, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. The location is perfect – right on the seafront with breathtaking views, yet only a short stroll from Chania’s old town and harbour. Our room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony overlooking the sea made each morning feel magical. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was a daily highlight – fresh, plentiful, and full of local Cretan flavours, served with a smile. The rooftop pool and bar were perfect for relaxing in the sun with a cocktail while enjoying the panoramic views. What really sets SanSal apart is the staff. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, offering helpful tips and genuine hospitality that made us feel truly welcome. SanSal Boutique Hotel is more than just a place to stay – it’s an experience we will treasure. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chania.

Loved our room with private plunge poo.

Absolutely amazing stay !! 5 stars in every aspect . Rooms, view, staff & facilities were truly fabulous. The hotel was in the perfect location. 5 minute walk ( 10 min stroll) along coast to old town, or 2 mins if you walked along old walls. Chania is a beautiful place .

We had a fantastic stay at SanSal Chania. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and really helpful. We had some lovely meals out thanks to their recommendations. Our room was immaculate and we had bottled water in our fridge daily. Great coffee pods were supplied for our in- room machine. The room came with a hairdryer and an ironing board. Our bathroom was spacious and came with really nice, locally sourced complimentary shower gels, soap and moisturisers. The bed was spacious, very comfortable and the only time we heard noise from outside was on one morning as there was construction locally. We even received an evening turn down service which we were not expecting and this was lovely to come back to after a day of exploring- fresh towels were supplied if necessary and the room had received a general tidy up. This hotel is 10 minute walk (if that) into Old Town Chania. There is plenty of parking available if you hire a car. We received a free bottle of wine with our stay which was great as we actually stayed over my birthday. The infinity pool on the roof was 10/10, providing great views. The pool was very clean and we did not have difficulty finding a lounger. The bar on the rooftop was also great with reasonably priced cocktails and great food. Breakfast was also delightful- some of the best scrambled eggs I’ve had abroad and the selection of local foods on offer at the buffet was fantastic. Overall I could not fault this hotel and would 100% stay again. Thank you!!

Beautiful hotel, room lived up to the pictures, staff all super friendly and helpful. Great location, 5 min walk to old port and amazing views of sunset from the balcony or rooftop bar/pool.

Wonderful hotel, with amazing views of the bay, fantastic location walking distance from the old venetian port and very friendly and helpful staff. They made us feel welcome from the very first moment we entered the lobby!

Ola kala

Fantastic location in walking distance to Old Chania. Fantastic breakfast offered. Beautiful rooftop pool and bar. Spacious and modern rooms. Great attention to quality finishes and details. Absolutely love this hotel and will stay there again.

We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming team for our engagement holiday. From the moment we booked the holiday the whole experience was brilliant, we were truly treat like family. Gorgeous views from the rooftop infinity pool and bar, comfortable beds and modern fresh rooms. Perfectly located inbetween the old town and Nea Chora Beach, we were never stuck for things to do. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our visit to Chania so special, we will definitely be returning.

We had 8 days of pure relaxation on our honeymoon at the SanSal hotel. The hotel is modern. Our room was lovely and somehow always cool in high temperature. Amazing view from our balcony. The staff are super friendly. We loved spending time on the roof top pool area. Its a short walk to beaches and into the brilliant old town I would 💯 recommend this hotel if you are thinking of staying in Chania. We will come back again.

This is one of the nicer hotels in Chania. The included breakfast buffet was wonderful— plentiful and with many options. The staff were all friendly and nice. There is a rooftop pool and lounge chairs with a bar that had amazing views and was a great amenity we enjoyed, especially for watching the sunset over a drink. The beds were comfortable. The downside for us was that it was not quiet, with noise heard from the hallways and adjacent rooms and the street, requiring ear plugs. Also, one of our 2 sinks in the bathroom was non-functioning due to a leak, and the shower was unusable due to it smelling like sewage. Thankfully there was a separate bathtub to use, but less convenient.

Renata was the reception staff who welcomed us gave us loads of recommendations for restaurants nearby and was very welcoming! She definitely made our stay so much more enjoyable. The hotel is small but we loved that it’s quiet and the view from the balcony is just amazing. Enjoyed our stay in Chania a lot and hope to be back!

Excellent location, away from heavy tourist traffic but easily accessible to all aspects of Chania. Superb staff, beautifully appointed rooms

Amazing! Would stay again.

Beautiful hotel in every single area - couldn’t fault it!

Our stay at Sansal Hotel was mostly fantastic. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the old harbor, with the best views of the ocean and sunset anywhere in the city. The staff was totally fantastic and very helpful with everything. The only thing that was a bit gross was the sink in our room. We booked a suite on the top floor, and the sink had been repaired in a makeshift way with a ton of caulk to waterproof the edges and corners. There was black mold growing all over it. Not just in one small area but really along every area. That’s not only gross but really not healthy, and certainly not appropriate for any room in a hotel like this. They should really take care of this problem before renting the room to anyone else.

Amazing place Huge room, huge bathroom, balcony with beach views. Staff are lovely and go out of there way. Breaky amazing. In a great area across from the beach and a 5min walk to the old town with lots of restaurants. Beautiful infinity pool. I cant fault this place and is the best one i have stayed in. I stayed 3 nights and there was a complementary bottle of white wine

Absolutely perfect!!! Location was excellent…walks of 10 minutes put you in the best restaurants and shops. Free parking, wonderful breakfasts and bar service…amazingly professional and caring staff…clean and comfortable rooms with balconies overlooking the water and an infinity pool on the top floor that does the same! Would fully recommend and would stay there again! Opt for 4th or 5th floor…the 6th if r can afford it!

We had an amazing time in Santorini staying at the hotel. The views are wonderful and sitting on the patio eating breakfast while overlooking the bay is surreal. It was located in a good location that was not overcrowded, but offered the best views. So many people walked by the hotel and were curious because it looked so relaxing and beautiful by the pool. Would highly recommend.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and in a handy location for alot of local places

Perfect location to visit the old town or the beach. Rooms are spacious with all the amenities. Breakfast was great as was the staff at breakfast and the front desk staff as well. Lots of construction in the area but that seemed to be the case all around Chana. A lovely stay.

Had a great time. Thank you to all the staff. Very friendly.

Fabulous Bouquet Hotel, walking distance from the Main town , beach and Harbour. The staff made our stay feel very special and welcoming. Breakfast was very good, the rooms are spacious and well equipped, with great views. Lovely rooftop pool and Bat too

Our stay at SanSal Hotel was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Harris. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with genuine warmth and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations were spot-on, and his kindness made us feel like we were staying with a friend, not just at a hotel. The hotel itself is modern, spotless, and perfectly located—beautiful rooms with stunning views. But it’s the exceptional service, especially from Harris, that truly sets SanSal apart. Thank you for everything, Harris—we can’t wait to return!

Amazing hotel, the staff was so helpful and the hotel itself was really nice and within walking distance of the Venetian Harbour without the crowds.

Amazing. The hotel is phenomenal, the staff are even better. This will always be our go to place for Chania from now on. Would go back to Chania just to stay here. The breakfast was packed with something for everyone, everything really tasty. The location to everything is excellent. There was major building work going on over the road, but we didn’t hear a thing from our room. This is by far the best hotel we have stayed in

Great location, friendly staff and good service.

The location right beside the harbour was incredible. Easy walk to the lighthouse and Resturant’s. Rooms are beautiful and very new. Bed are comfortable and staff was very helpful. The breakfast was amazing. The pools were very nice. And the view from the rooftop at sunset was magical. Would definitely recommend staying here for all these reasons. Only thing I would change, putting in a fridge that is actually cold and the glass in the bathroom made privacy a little interesting sometimes. Plus the room with the pool, the balcony was always flooded and wet. Regardless of this, would stay again and loved everyday we were there.

Incredible hotel which we’d recommend wholeheartedly! Hotel staff went out of their way to offer the warmest Greek welcome and first class service, especially Apostolos, Renata, Anna-Maria and the other young man who served breakfast. Hotel is beautifully decorated, with stunning sea view rooms and a wonderful roof terrace. Delightful breakfast with plenty of local treats to sample. Very close to both ports and right in the centre, but quiet. We hope we’ll be back! Efharisto poli!

Location and view

Great location close to Old Port. The sound of the ocean was soothing for sleep. The staff was so helpful in arranging for transportation.

Short walk to old town Chania. Beautiful views of the sea from room.

Really enjoyed our stay

It’s a really nice experience! The hotel staff also prepare me a breakfast box because I have to catch an early flight and is going to miss the buffet. It’s really nice of them to do that! The location is close to Chana old town, it’s only a 5-10 minute walk. Would stay again

We booked the Junior Suite for 4 nights Very reasonable off season. Our room 602 with big balcony had the best views Old town lighthouse and harbor. Walkable to great restaurants Free Breakfast included Delicious!!!!

Anna-Maria was a fantastic and helpful receptionist and everyone in the restaurant during breakfast hours was really nice and kind. Will definitely stay again!

Superb and friendly staff. Siri’s excellent and extremely helpful in dining area. Renata and Annamaria front desk- joyful, super friendly, with unforgettable smiles.

We so enjoyed our stay at SanSal. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special for our anniversary. They left nice notes and a bottle of wine in our room. We played cards at night with friends in the common room and when they needed to close up they suggested that we move to the business center if we wanted to play longer. We were arranging an early morning check out to catch our flight and they offered to have a carry out breakfast ready for us at 6am. Everyone there was so friendly and it truly made the stay special. Add to that the nice rooms and beautiful view, and this is a wonderful hotel that we will gladly book on our next trip to Crete.

The location of the hotel was very close to restaurants and local attractions. We reserved a upgraded room with a private pool on the balcony. The pool was unusable. The pool was not clean, leaking, and has many dead flies. The room had a bad sewage smell that lingering throughout our stay.

This was our first time to Greece and we booked sansal based on reviews and how close it was to the ocean. When we arrived the staff were so great and very helpful, they were also very friendly and gave good recommendations where to visit and where to eat. We will be staying here when we come back!

My room had a beautiful view of the Ocean and the light house. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The Venetian harbor is at a short walking distance but the hotel is in a quiet area. Breakfast was one of the best of our trip. Overall and excellent hotel

The hotel is currently adjacent to a noisy, busy construction site. We should have been warned of this before booking and whilst we were allocated another room when we complained, the windows in the new room had not been fitted properly and were therefore not sound proof. We were therefore bothered by noise throughout our stay. The rooftop infinity pool on the roof was also very disappointing compared to how it was depicted. It was far too small to be of use. It was a shame the situation with the noise was badly managed as most of the staff were very helpful and friendly, the buffet breakfast was lovely and our cleaning lady was excellent.

The Sansal was a beautiful hotel. We had booked the executive suite which was very private and spacious. The staff were excellent.

All the staff was very helpful. When we checked in on Saturday the reception gave us great restaurant recommendations. We used most for our 7 day stay. We also rented a car for a few days and they arranged for pick up and drop off at the hotel. Breakfast was great. The location was walking distance to beaches, shops and restaurants. Great place to spend my birthday. View from our room of the sea was everything I wished it would be.

Fantastic staff - very helpful, friendly and always smiling. Hotel is clean, modern and right beside the old town. Lots of places to eat nearby.

Assume accommodations with the best of service. Couldn’t ask for a nicer hotel or staff.

We had the most wonderful stay here. It is in a perfect location, mere steps from the old town. The room was very spacious and clean. We had a room with the private pool and were unsure how much we would use it given our visit in October. We ended up thoroughly enjoying the pool daily and it was heated to a perfect temperature. The outdoor patio space was lovely as well. The rooftop facilities were beautiful and it was very convenient to have parking at the hotel. We enjoyed the array of options for breakfast and they were kind to make us a breakfast to go on our last day when we had a very early checkout. The staff was wonderful, especially Renata who checked us in and provided excellent dining recommendations in the area and the breakfast crew who made a great cappuccino. Overall we loved our stay here, would recommend it to anyone and look forward to returning. Was one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Great job to the whole team at SanSal.

SanSal is a perfect location to relax and immerse yourself into the Chania culture! A short stroll to so many shops and Tavernas gorgeous people. The hotel staff were so helpful nothing was a problem highly recommend

We had a wonderful experience at Sansal Hotel. Reservation, bar, pool and cleaning staff ALL were outstanding. Very happy we stayed here. BRAVO Sansal!

Excellent hotel! Reception was amazing and super helpful with food recommendations & beaches! Fully recommend!

From start to finish perfection. We would stay again in a heartbeat. The roof top pool and bar were luxurious and so picturesque. The room was very classy.

They know customer service- greeted with a cold drink and welcoming staff. It is very modern with excellent views of the sea and amazing sunsets. Must stop and watch a sunset from the pool! Highly recommend

Wonderful stay at a beautiful hotel. Excellent breakfast!

Brilliant hotel. Very clean and modern and excellent facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A Truly Unforgettable Stay! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sansal Hotel, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. The staff at Sansal go above and beyond in every possible way. They are not just friendly and accommodating, but they genuinely care about their guests. Whether it was offering personalized recommendations for local attractions, ensuring my room was perfectly tailored to my preferences, or simply greeting me with a smile every time I passed by, the staff made me feel like I was at a home away from home. Every detail in the hotel is thoughtfully considered, and it’s clear that the team at Sansal takes great pride in their work. My room was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views that made my mornings and evenings even more special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were top-notch. But what truly sets Sansal apart is the kindness and attentiveness of its staff. They were always ready to assist with anything I needed, no matter how big or small the request. It’s rare to find a place where every member of the team is not just doing their job, but doing it with such joy and dedication. In a world where hospitality often feels transactional, Sansal Hotel is a breath of fresh air. I can’t wait for my next stay!

A relaxing stay with an amazing location. A quick walk to the local beach and a very convenient walk to the Old Venetian Harbor. We loved the surrounding area. Anna-Maria was spot on in all of her recommendations, which we received upon arrival and she made notes on a local map which we referred to regularly. We had a beautiful room with private pool and terrace. Everything was fabulous.

The property was excellent and exceptionally clean. The staff was helpful, particularly Renata. The pool area, while small, was appropriately sized for the 23 rooms, some of which have their own pools. All in all great

Amazing location and beautiful hotel! Rooftop bar was the best.

What a great place to stay. We stayed in one of the corner rooms on the 4th floor for 5 days. This hotel felt very luxurious, but what made it really special was the staff. They were so warm and kind, especially Kostas and another female server (not sure her name but curly hair and blue eyeliner). The views were incredible and our room was also so clean. The area was ideal as your between the old town and nea Chora. We also really appreciated the parking. Would definitely stay again

Excellent service and very helpful employees

Everything was perfect. The personal was amazing et the pool was wonderful. Thank you for your kind.

This hotel is fantastic, one of the best we have stayed in. The executive suite was spacious- as a family of 4 we usually have two large rooms and we worried that staying in one suite instead might have been tricky but it was absolutely fine, plenty of space for us all. Particularly loved the balcony. Staff were amazing - housekeeping, reception, breakfast and pool bar were all so helpful and friendly, always there to help with whatever was needed. Couldn’t recommend highly enough 😊

Great location and nice views. Great rooftop to enjoy views and bar. Nice helpful staff.

Great property, located extremly close to Chania’s bustling old town. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms were gorgeous and spacious.

great view

Staying at Sansal was a wonderful experience. The architecture is well thought out, the minimalist style is fresh and beautiful. The linens / towels are crisp and fresh. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional. I hardly can wait to return!!!

This hotel is In impeccable condition. The architectural design is thoughtfully in every way. The views from the room are breathtaking. The staff are friendly, helpful and engaging; from concierge service, housekeeping, and restaurant staff. I hardly can wait to return. Mary LePage

Never have we stayed at a property that so exactly met expectations based on the booking website. We were greeted with the news of an upgrade and delighted by the welcome gift of a bottle of local wine. Our room was pristine, comfortable and spacious. I particularly liked that the two pillows on the very comfortable bed were firm and soft so you could choose your preference. Our water view was stunning and enjoyed our wine on the balcony. The staff is friendly and very helpful and the breakfast was tasty with quite a bit of variety. We enjoyed the splash pool on the top floor particularly since my husband is not a beach fan and enjoyed conversations with other guests. It's also a great place for a sunset cocktail. The young woman who checked us in gave us several suggestions for dinner. We highly recommend AlmyVita (amazing food and cocktails) and Salis. My only recommendation would be luggage racks. There was plenty of floor and closet space but no where to place bags in an elevated spot. We prefer not to place bags on furniture.

Everything was excellent

A very enjoyable week in Chania and the Sansal Boutique hotel. Hotel is about 3 minutes walk from the old town waterfront so is ideally located. Some parking is available at the hotel but probably not enough spaces if every guest has a car but there was only one night we couldn’t get a space and there is plenty of free street parking around the hotel. Very friendly staff, in particular Anna Maria on reception and Kostas and Zoe serving breakfast. Hotel has a pool on the roof - probably not enough loungers if every guest wanted to use it but the terrace seemed to be little used by other guests when we were there. Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chania.

This boutique hotel is beachfront. It is walking distance from the lighthouse, the town center, and many restaurants and shops. Zoey greeted us with a welcome drink upon arrival and spent time explaining a map of places that are easily accessible near the hotel. She was amazing! The hotel is Modern and clean. Rooms are very spacious. Water pressure and temperature is excellent. The beach front balconies are accessible with floor to ceiling sliding doors. Bedding, towels, robes and air condition are on par with 5 star hotel. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommended. We would definitely return to this property. The only downside to this property is the construction of a new building next door. Early morning noise of jackhammers. No fault of this hotel.

SanSal is such a lovely place to stay. My boyfriend and I stayed for just over a week and had such a wonderful time. The room was excellent and the hotel itself is great. The breakfast was lovely, loads of options! It’s a really quick walk to get to the harbour or to the beach and there are loads of dining options nearby. The staff at the hotel are just lovely - they really seem to want you to have a great stay and have great knowledge of the area. I’d definitely stay again!

The location was spectacular. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. The room was beautiful with a stunning balcony. The breakfast was so much better than American hotels provide. Would definitely recommend.

Great location with amazing view from the top floor pool. Near the wall and great shopping and food. Staff is excellent.

SanSal hotel was terrific. The room, the staff, the breakfast, the location, all suburb. Our only issue is that a major construction project has started next door. The room we were initially given was right next to the construction. The team quickly moved us to the other side of the hotel, which was nice, but we couldn't enjoy our deck during construction hours as it was too loud. You could not hear the noise from the room if all the doors were shut, but the big reason we chose this room was to have a beautiful deck with a view. It's no fault of the hotel, so I will still give them the five-star rating, but I wanted to flag it for others.

Great hotel very friendly & helpful staff. Convenient location to shopping & restaurant.

That staff were very kind and helpful. Beautiful place in a convenient location. Easily can walk to the old harbor.

splendid hotel and very relaxing

My husband and I stayed here for our wedding and part of our honeymoon. The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful, everything was clean and exceeded our expectations! The breakfast that is offered is also amazing!

We had a fantastic stay. Great, modern accomodations in a super convenient and scenic location. Anna-Maria was amazing with all her helpful tips on things to do in the area. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic modern hotel with professional employees that care about providing the best possible service to guests. We thought the location was outstanding. The young man that manages the breakfast does a superb job. He also makes a great cappuccino. We hope to return some day.

Awesome property. Can't think of living in a better location. The property is new and really modern boutique hotel. The front desk girls were super nice. I would just book it; do t think about anything else....really enjoyed our stay there!

Staff was incredible! Would come back here again.

Marvelous view of the sea. Convenient location.
