Great location and lovely hotel
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.

Book this now, don’t even wait
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

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!

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

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.

Great service and friendly staff
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.
