Sea View Hotel & Apartments

Sea View Hotel and Apartments Chania really is a wonderful place to stay. Communication prior to your stay is exceptional. Long before your arrival Ms Fotini will contact you with all relevant details regarding your stay. The reception closes at 6pm and in case your arrival is later than this then she will provide you with a code for the main sliding door. Your room key card and welcome pack will be on the reception desk. There will be a bottle of wine in your fridge as a welcome treat. A taxi from Chania airport will cost €35 and I would advise you to book this through Ms Fotini so you don’t get ripped off like we did. The hotel is off the beaten track and the area is quiet so if you are looking for a lot of nightlife then this area is not for you. The hotel is spotlessly clean. The rooms are immaculate and are large and spacious with everything you need to self-cater. All rooms have a small balcony and ours (facing the garden) enjoyed the evening sun. The rooms are serviced daily and the towel art provided by the maid was a nice touch. The beds themselves are large and very comfortable. The rooms all have air conditioning (free). WIFI reception throughout the hotel is also very good. The continental breakfast was a delight. Yulli takes great pride in ensuring everything is perfectly presented and ensures the breakfast area is kept spotlessly clean. The choice is exceptional from delicious homemade treats, fresh pastries and cakes, jams, bread, cereals, cheeses etc etc are all fresh and delicious. There is also a small hot option too. The pool area is quiet with comfy sunbeds. You can purchase pool side snacks and drinks throughout the day until 6pm. The hotel does not cater for evening meals however there are numerous places to eat within a 20-40 minute walk depending if you go left or right when you come to the beach. The restaurants on the left along an unlit beachside walk (we felt safe) are closer and we found them to be excellent. Our favourite was Sterna Chrisi Akti on Daskalogianni Str. If you walk to the right you can walk into Chania Old town in 35-40 minutes and on the way you will come across countless wonderful restaurants. Chania Old Town is a wonderful place to explore. Full of small back streets and lanes that will keep the avid shopper occupied for hours. The restaurants in the old town are obviously more expensive but full of character. If you don’t like walking there is a regular bus service that will take you into the heart of Chania Old Town. The bus stop is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. You can purchase bus tickets from Ms Fotini at reception. The beach is 5-10 minute walk and has soft sandy beaches with plenty of places to eat and drink. You can also hire sunbeds and life guards are in attendance. There is a mini market a few minutes away who stocks the basics and a larger supermarket 10-15 minutes walk. We hired a car for 5 days arranged through Ms Fotini who ensured we got a good deal. I would recomme

Stayed here with family and friends. Fotini On reception was amazing and such a beautiful, lovely, helpful lady. Apartments were really clean. Pool area was lovely. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you have children as the owners mum lives in one of the apartments and don’t seem to like children having fun in and around the pool. This spoiled our holiday in the end as our children couldn’t enjoy them selves. I have one son with autism so this become upsetting and difficult for us as a family.

This was our second year staying at Sea View and we’ll return for definite! Mr Bitsakis and his wonderful team ensure you’ll have an amazing holiday. With modern facilities, quiet location and spotlessly clean Sea View is just a 5 minute walk to a lovely beach, 10,15,20 minutes walk to various other lovely beaches and a 30 minute walk into Chania Old Town. There are 2 supermarkets just a short walk away as well as restaurants and coffee shops. There is also a bus stop just a 5 minute walk away. Sea View offers a delicious buffet breakfast and they have a swimming pool. Housekeeping is exemplary with regular fresh towels and bedding. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Fotini the amazing receptionist - she’s a wealth of information and always so happy. We really can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.
