Why guests love it

Thallos The Boutique is a small, room-focused hotel in Chania Town rather than a family resort. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with a private bathroom, a tea and coffee maker and a work desk, and there is a lift and free WiFi. The Old Venetian Harbour is a short walk away and Koum Kapi Beach is less than 1 km off. I would book it for parents with older children who are happy to spend the day out in town.

Historic boutique stay with old port views in Chania's Venetian Harbour

Why guests love it

Domus Renier is a five-star boutique hotel set directly in Chania's old Venetian Harbour, with views of the old port and the lighthouse.

Theta Boutique Hotel

Soundproofed rooms on Kyprou Street, a few minutes from the Koum Kapi seafront

Why guests love it

With children, Theta works for families who want a calm room and an easy walk to the action. Soundproofing helps young sleepers in a district where the promenade stays busy in the evening, and the breakfast covers vegetarian and vegan needs. The Koum Kapi seafront is pleasant for an evening stroll, but its narrow, unorganised beach is not where I would plan a day of swimming with children; Nea Chora, west of the old harbour, is the better family beach. There is no pool or play area, so this is a base for exploring Chania rather than a hotel to spend the day in.

Thirty8 Heritage House

Historic apartments with a garden and year-round outdoor pool in Chania Town

Air-conditioned rooms have modern amenities, and some look over the port and lighthouse. The elegant courtyard and wine bar add atmosphere, and a signature Cretan breakfast is served.

J&G Suites

Venetian charm in Chania Old Town with spacious suites

Why guests love it

J&G Suites places families inside Chania's Old Town, in a renovated Venetian building, so the harbour lanes are on the doorstep. Every suite has its own living room, which gives parents space once children are asleep, and some units have a private veranda. Others have an internal wooden staircase, charming but worth avoiding with toddlers; ask for a single-level suite. Rooms are air-conditioned. Guests rate it 9.6 from nearly 200 reviews.

Residenza Vranas Boutique Hotel

Old Town suites with sea views and some private plunge pools

Why guests love it

Residenza Vranas is a boutique hotel of suites in Chania Old Town, which gives families more room than a standard hotel room. Some suites look over the city or the Cretan Sea, and a few have a private plunge pool, a real asset with children in summer.

Lagon Life Spirit Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

Adults-only luxury with private pools and a serene spa in Chania

Why guests love it

Families with children should know upfront that Lagon Life Spirit is adults-only, so it does not suit a family holiday with kids.

For families, I see it as a fit for parents with older children who will enjoy a building full of history and the walk along the harbour. Rooms and suites are each decorated differently, air-conditioned, with Cocomat mattresses for a good night's sleep. The traditional Cretan breakfast is a pleasant way to start the day before exploring the old town.

Anassa Chania Boutique Hotel

Adults-only boutique hotel with sea views in Chania Town

Why guests love it

Anassa Chania Boutique Hotel is adults-only, so families with children cannot book it; I would point parents towards other Chania Town addresses. For adults, it offers modern air-conditioned rooms with sea views, a central location near the Old Venetian Harbour, a sun terrace, a restaurant and a bar.

Why guests love it

Casa Enetiko puts families steps from Nea Chora Beach, a town beach that suits easy swims with children, and close to the Old Venetian Harbour for evening walks. The family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and some look over the sea, which I would request. The sun terrace, garden and outdoor seating give the family space outside the room. No pool, restaurant or kids' facilities are listed, so plan meals in the tavernas of Nea Chora.

EdgeWater Beach Hotel

Beachfront aparthotel with private beach access and sea-view balconies

Why guests love it

EdgeWater Beach Hotel is a strong family pick in Chania Town: it has direct beachfront access, a private beach area and Nea Chora Beach steps away, so swims fit around naps easily. Rooms are air-conditioned with kitchenettes, handy for breakfasts and snacks, and many balconies face the sea. The family-friendly restaurant covers dinners when nobody wants to cook. I would request a sea-view room, since only some have that view, and walk to the old harbour in the evening.

Santrivani Rooms

Stone-built rooms with sea or mountain views in Chania Town

Why guests love it

Santrivani Rooms suits families who want Chania's old streets at the door. The building is stone-built, rooms have air-conditioning and either sea or mountain views, and the beach is a short walk away. Museums and traditional Cretan restaurants sit within 500 metres, so outings stay short for young legs. The tour desk and car hire on site make it easy to plan a day further along the coast. There is no pool, so I would book a sea-view room.

Belmondo Hotel

Small Venetian-style house on Zampeliou Street, a minute from Chania's harbour

Why guests love it

With children, Belmondo works best for a family that plans to spend its days out of the hotel. The lanes of Topanas are car-free, which makes evening walks to the harbour, the Firkas fort and the Maritime Museum of Crete easy with older children. The limits are clear: there is no lift, so a pushchair has to be carried up the stairs, and there is no pool or garden for downtime. The closest sand is at Nea Chora, a shallow beach west of the old harbour reached on foot, so a beach morning means a walk rather than a lift down. Families with teenagers will find the setup easier than those with toddlers.

Anaem Eclectic Rooms

Historic charm meets modern comfort in the heart of Chania

Why guests love it

I see Anaem Eclectic Rooms as a good fit for a small family that wants character over facilities. The apartments sit in a historic building in Chania Town, each with air-conditioning, a private bathroom and a balcony with city views, which helps during hot Cretan afternoons.

I would keep it for couples or adult friends who want a calm base in Chania Town.

NEK Suites - Adults Only

Comfortable suites with a pool, garden, and private balconies

Why guests love it

NEK Suites is adults-only, so I cannot recommend it for a family holiday with children: they are not accepted. It fits parents travelling without the kids, or adult family groups, who want suites in Chania Town with fully equipped kitchens, private balconies and a seasonal outdoor pool in a garden. Free private parking on site makes day trips around western Crete easy. Families with children should look at the family-friendly hotels in Chania Town.

The sun terrace and garden give children space outside the room, and the daily continental buffet breakfast keeps mornings simple. Its convenience for Chania International Airport helps with early flights and tired children on arrival. No pool is listed, so I would plan beach days nearby and transport into Chania's old town.

Why guests love it

Eolos Apartments is an elegant aparthotel with sea views, a swimming pool, a sun terrace and a lush garden, close to Almirida Beach.

Why guests love it

Querini Luxury Suites places families in central Chania Town, less than a kilometre from Koum Kapi Beach, so a morning swim and an evening in the old town are both on foot. Rooms are air-conditioned with city-view balconies, private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and free WiFi, and daily housekeeping keeps things tidy with children around. There is a terrace but no pool or restaurant listed. I would choose it for families who want to explore Chania on foot.

Why guests love it

I would recommend Spla Apartments 3 to families who want to explore Chania Town on foot. The air-conditioned rooms have private bathrooms and free WiFi, and the location is central: Koum Kapi Beach is an 8-minute walk and the Old Venetian Harbour is close by, along with the old town's historical sites. The listing is short on facilities, so treat it as a simple base. A rating of 8.4 from 5 reviews is a very small sample.
