"En veldig fin leilighet, helt ny og uten feil. Flott uteområde med flere sittegrupper . Svært sentralt, butikker og restauranter like rundt hjørnet. Kort spassertur til stranden. Stille og fredelig. Veldig hyggelig og hjelpsom vert. Kan trygt anbefale et opphold i denne fine leiligheten."

"This was by far the most unique, amazing hotel we stayed at on the island of Crete. Upon arrival we were given fresh-squeezed lemonade made from their own lemon trees. The staff was so friendly! The building is over 500 years old, and nothing like I've ever seen before. The suite we got was huge, (living room, full kitchen, dining room, and bathroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs). We had our own private patio and a back door that led right to the pool. The town and the people...

"the room was smallish but spotless, AC Wifi shower pressure were fantastic; balcony very useful! Everything was well thought out; the shower had water backup (needs a lip) but the broom was right there. The hosts were fabulous, their recommendations great! Walking to beach a few meters away. Great place, we wish them well for the new complex they are building next to the property."

"This might have been my favorite stay in crete. the room was nice enough, but the overall place was just stunning. Opening my door to the most perfect private cove on the south side of crete was heaven...take me back. The resturant attached was also exceptional and convenient!"

"The location of this hotel in the Old Town was perfect especially as we didn't rent a car. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable and the staff were amazing!! The breakfast was really nice and a good variety. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in the Old Town in Chania."
"Overall, we had a good stay. The front desk was welcoming, the hotel is very clean, and the location is excellent-we were able to walk to many restaurants and attractions. Our room was small but comfortable.
One thing we found unusual was that although breakfast was incl w/ our stay, we would be charged 20EUR/person to eat breakfast on our arrival morning, w/ our incl breakfast starting the following day.
The hotel was very helpful w/ arranging transportation and excursions. However, we had a frustrating miscommunication regarding our transportation to Heraklion. Due to the amount of luggage, I contacted concierge to request a larger vehicle and was offered a minibus at a higher price. I responded "As long as it fits all the luggage," which I believe indicated to proceed. Unfortunately, that was not considered a confirmation and our original transportation was canceled, as well. I understand that I could have responded w/ a "yes" but I also wish they had followed up to confirm rather than leaving us w/out transportation . Thankfully, they were able to arrange another minibus that morning, although our departure was delayed.
There was also an unnecessary comment from the concierge that we "should have" booked the Balos excursion by boat after ours was canceled due to the fire risk.
Despite this, we enjoyed our stay. Excellent location, cleanliness, and overall helpfulness of the staff outweigh the problems. I would still recommend Samaria Hotel."
"Really beautiful hotel, the staff made the holiday even better everyone was so helpful, friendly and so attentive! Rooms were fantastic so were the amenities :)"
"As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the staff and they could not be more welcoming, polite and helpful. We got to our room (we did have to go up some stairs but nothing too bad) and it was extremely clean. The location was perfect, we were a 5minute walk to golden beach, which was stunning. As well as a 15min taxi drive to Chania old town. Which the staff helped us book. There was a bus stop right outside the hotel to go elsewhere too. However the highlight of our trip was definitely the staff, from the bar staff to the hotel staff. They were always helpful with giving recommendations, and extremely kind and greeted us with a smile (no matter what time we came in!)
Couldn’t recommend it enough :)
We will be booking again ASAP!"
"The location is really great and the hotel is lovely. The staff are incredible- friendly and helpful. Wonderful breakfast. Did not like the smell of the water in the toilet. I imagine it has to do with the water being recycled (grey water) and for such an expensive hotel to not replenish water bottles daily was a surprise. Everything else was fantastic."

Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete
10/10 Excellent
"The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The staff will go above and beyond to help you. There were times where the kids overtook the pool, which without having kids, didn't make for the most relaxing time. Still a great stay. Breakfast was absolutely delicious!"
