I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can't wait to share my experience.
**Location:** The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the old town port and local shops and restaurants. This convenience made exploring the area incredibly easy and enjoyable.
**Breakfast:** Every morning started off perfectly with a delicious breakfast that featured a variety of local options. There were fresh fruits, an assortment of yogurts, and delightful pastries. Each dish was prepared with care, making breakfast a highlight of my stay.
**Check-In Experience:** I encountered an issue with my booking, which was not the hotel's fault. However, the staff went above and beyond to help me correct it. They offered me a glass of cold water and a comfortable couch while sorting out the issue. Their hospitality made the check-in process smooth and stress-free.
**Front Desk Staff:** The front desk team was exceptionally welcoming and friendly. They provided excellent recommendations for local restaurants and even helped book a trip to Loutro. Maria, in particular, was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring all my needs were met.
**Bellmen:** The bellmen were just as friendly and welcoming. Every day when we returned, they greeted us warmly, assisted with our vehicle, and offered recommendations for the next day's activities. Their friendly demeanor made us feel right at home.
**Evening Entertainment:** After a night out on the town, which is conveniently only a few minutes away, we enjoyed the soothing sounds of piano music in the hotel's lounge. This added a touch of elegance and relaxation to our evenings.
**Overall:** My stay at this hotel was fantastic. The combination of excellent service, delicious breakfast, and the friendly atmosphere created by both the front desk and bellmen staff made for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay.

Very picturesque (old harbour and streets off) Kept very clean with frequent rubbish collections. No itinerant street vendors. Restaurants mainly traditional greek + italian no persistent "hustling" to partake. Varied selection of shops from tourist to top end. Traffic free around harbour. Boat trips and horse and carriage tours from harbour side. Several museums to visit nearby all walkable, though the new archeological museum is a good hike along the coast. Note that the famous covered market is not functional at the time of writing (no roof) and whist it is a impressive building, not much is happening construction wise.

The town still has charm and character.
The town still has charm and character. There are lots of delicious restaurants, and if you look around it doesn’t have to be expensive.
It was beginning to get busy by mid June, too many people for me. So earlier or later would be better .
There are quite a few artists, workshops which are worth visiting. Crafts need to be kept alive .

It is very picturesque and easy to walk around.
It is very picturesque and easy to walk around. A vast selection of restaurants. They are quite pricy compared with other parts of the island like Hersonnisus where we were staying for longer. Parking overnight was also expensive - £25. However I felt that the car was safe and secure and they were very helpful at finding you a place to park. Many of the restaurants only wanted cash. A charming port and a great place to people watch and chill.

In the past couple of years Chania has become VERY crowded.
In the past couple of years Chania has become VERY crowded. I would say to avoid it completely in July and August. Along with more tourism there are more shops selling junky souvenirs not from Greece. But we persisted and found some lovely high-quality things made in Greece. We rented a car but I wouldn't bother again as it's so congested and hard to park when you return from a day trip.
We loved the restaurant Salis along the waterfront and went twice. A store called Haris Cotton sells nice quality linen clothes. The tiny folklore museum was interesting. We did a walking tour of the artisans of Chania and it was good.

Crete is a must island to visit! Chania Town is beautiful.
Crete is a must island to visit! Chania Town is beautiful. If you are ever in Crete you should also visit Iracleio, Knossos, Ayios Nicolaos, Spinalogga, Rethymo, Arkadi monestary, Elafonisi, Balos, and Falassarna.
Incomparable view. Incredibly comfortable, spacious and beautiful room. Breakfast was outstanding. Staff was incredibly gracious and helpful. I had to work remotely while here, and the wi-fi worked great. I have lived in Crete, I visit often, and have stayed in many hotels on the island across a wide budget range. I also visit other areas of Greece from time to time. Lagon - Life Spirit Boutique Hotel easily surpasses most of the other hotels I've stayed in as far as comfort, luxury, beauty and hospitality, and I hope to return again soon.
I had a very pleasant stay at Hyperion Hotel in Chania, Crete. The hotel is quite new, and the bedroom was spacious and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, contributing to a restful sleep. The staff were very nice and accommodating, even allowing us to use the locker rooms to change after we checked out before heading to the airport. The hotel's location is great, close to a local beach, which is convenient for a quick swim in the ocean. Overall, it’s a pretty good hotel with excellent amenities and service.
From the moment you step into the hotel, the staff put you at ease. Elia and Elina were absolutely wonderful hosts - welcoming, accommodating and went above and beyond. Elia looked after us in the hotel and gave great tips on restaurants. Elina served an amazing breakfast and was so accommodating to whatever we felt like. The owner of the hotel would do well to make sure both are paid well. The room was clean and classy and the location was great. Best hotel of our stay in Crete.
The location was great, right in front of the beach. Cleanliness was superb with towels changed everyday.
The jacuzzi on the terrace was a bonus but could be perfect if the walls of the terrace were made of glass instead of concrete to enable a perfect view even when you're in the jacuzzi.
The hotel was so kind to allow us to stay in our room till we departed for the airport in the evening with a nominal fee of 30 euros. They even provided a cost free transfer to the airport.
What we loved about the room is the cleanliness, the host and as well the staff are friendly and very helpful in need.
The hotel is new and it has everything you need and it is located in the best possible place of Chania where you can find everything you need in a walking distance.
It’s one of the best places we’ve stayed in Crete/Chania
We thank Spiros for hosting us and making our stay comfortable.
Vasili and his staff were excellent, very hospitable , helpfull and very kind, Vasili took his time to explain how to navigate the island and mapped out all the best places to visit, breakfast was amazing, my overall experience is definitely 10+, if you happen to go to chania, Crete you need to check out Capitan vasili hotel..
This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in Greece! Our first time in Chania, the location was excellent walking distance to all the shops and restaurants! The hotel staff is top notch they go over and beyond . Roula , Andreas, Mira, and Ioulia are the best bartenders and staff there! I give it 5 stars
Outstanding! The staff was extremely helpful, even before our arrival. They arranged our transportation from the airport to the hotel and even assisted us with car rental. The hotel is so centrally located to everything in Old Town, there was nothing we missed. I recommend this hotel 100%. Thank you!!
This place is in a great location in old town, right near a square with many restaurants and a free concert on our last night there. Walking distance to the beach, bus station and everything you need. Dimitris provided a lot of recommendations on what to do in Chania and Crete which was very helpful!
Lovely host, she gave us the best recommendations for eating out and made us feel very welcome indeed. Very nice to sit on the balcony and observe the flowers and famous cats of Crete in neighbouring gardens. Surprisingly quiet considering the location in the old town.
Probably the best hotel in Chania. The rooms were excellent and the staff was amazing. A beautiful view of the harbour. The staff has a lot of knowledge of the city (and the rest of Crete), and they are always happy to share that with you. We’re definitely coming back!
Clean and nice hotel at the end of the Old Town of Chania! A very warm welcome at the reception from Stelios!
The room was fabulous with a beautiful bathroom, huge bed, and amazing street view from the balcony!
Great value for money at its best! Thank you so much!
Beautiful boutique hotel with gorgeous rooms, good facilities, comfortable beds, staff very accommodating and friendly, onsite bistro and cafe lovely and hotel close to old town so perfect for exploring! Good value and comfortable transfer to the airport.
The location in Old Town Chania was great. The room was fairly spacious with a separate living room, but no door between them. The buffet breakfast was decent, but it turned out to be the smallest selection of any of the 5 hotels we visited in Greece.
The hotel is a modern structure with a lovely swimming pool and terrace where a super breakfast is served. The staff is super friendly (like everywhere in Crete). A free electric (!!) bus drives you to the center of town (where parking is difficult).
Location is everything and this place is right in the middle of Old Town Chania. A beautiful little boutique hotel. A short walk to restaurants and sightseeing attractions. The front desk was very helpful with getting us to the location.
Stylish and sleek hotel within a walking distance from restaurants and the old town. Our room was comfortable, clean and had a spectacular view of the sea. The staff were warm, friendly and provided great tips for going around Crete.
I felt better here than in a 4 star hotel. I am glad that we chose the apartment at Meryland. Maria was the best!!! I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend their holidays in Crete!!
Really good location in old town, with plenty of restaurants around. The host gave us a lot of recommendations for places to eat, drink, things to visit and the best beaches.
