AZADE CHANIA, Chania (Crete)

Azade Chania occupies a carefully restored 17th-century Venetian mansion in the pedestrianised heart of Chania's old town, offering 9 air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, minibar, and flat-screen TV. Each room features a private bathroom and either sea or city views; some suites include a balcony, terrace, or a separate living area. The on-site family-friendly restaurant serves Greek cuisine in a traditional courtyard setting for brunch, lunch, dinner, and cocktails, while breakfast highlights local specialities like Sfakianes pies and a generous daily spread. Guests can join yoga classes, bicycle rentals, or walking tours of the old town, and the hotel provides a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, luggage storage, laundry, and car hire. Major landmarks within walking distance include the Chania Old Venetian Harbour (500 metres), Nea Chora Beach (13-minute walk), and the Folklore Museum (3-minute walk). Chania International Airport is 15 km away, and the hotel is accessible via a short pedestrian walk from Talos Square. Azade Chania keeps an extensive book collection in the lounge, and the staff can arrange excursions and airport transfers upon request. The property is non-smoking throughout and offers key card access, 24-hour security, and an elevator in the historic building. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Azade Chania, with made-to-order options and dietary accommodations.

The hotel is set in a restored 17th-century building, preserving historic charm with modern interiors.

Staff consistently provide personalised recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and tours, and will pack a box breakfast for early departures.

The central pedestrian location puts the harbour and main shops within a 2-5 minute walk, yet the hotel remains quiet.

Rooms are spacious with high ceilings, and many have rooftop terraces or balconies with views of the harbour or mountains.

No private parking; guests must rely on nearby paid lots or free street parking (often a 5-15 minute walk from the hotel).

Some rooms have limited closet space, and a few guest reviews note that sound insulation between floors could be improved.
