If you’re hoping to walk out the door and onto the beach, this is the place for you! Everyone who worked there was kind and helpful, and I loved having a view of the sea. It was fun to be close to Old Town and the Venetian Port as well.

Very Good

This place was had one of the best beach views i ever seen, its easy for walking around and explore resturants. Its avery cozy enviroment. Food is great and so are the prices for food and drinks. The hotel did not have a kettel in the rooms or even tea or coffe in the rooms, Bathroom was good. Bed was ok but should have a little bigger madress. Staff working there wer very kind and service minded, we stayed here for 2 nights and its was good. We will come back in the future to explore more. Best Regards Ronny

The property is right on the sea front with loads of eating places close by.Nice sea view from the room also.
Evan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

During my recent stay at Hotel Danaos, I was charmed by its perfect beachfront location—just steps from Nea Chora Beach, and within a leisurely 15‑minute walk along the sea to Chania’s historic Venetian harbour and downtown . The stunning sea views from the balconies were the ideal backdrop to sip morning coffee or unwind at sunset. The hotel offers great value for money with clean, well‑equipped rooms (air conditioning, mini‑fridge, TV, Wi‑Fi) and daily housekeeping . In particular, guests praised the continental breakfast buffet—plentiful options like yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal and juices served in a bright seaside room . What truly stands out is the warm, family-run atmosphere—the staff were consistently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, assisting with tips for exploring Chania, arranging bike or car rentals, and welcoming guests like old friends.

Tom, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was right on beach. Near restaurants and bars. Decent size room for 3 people. Parking was a few blocks away. Staff at bar attached to hotel were very unfriendly. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri and was given an attitude. They claimed it was very difficult to make and took them 25 minutes to make it! It was the worst daiquiri I’ve ever had. Also, when given a room with a “city view” I wasn’t expecting to see a neighborhood with a man in his boxers smoking. Make sure you request ocean view.
Madeline, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay in the Danaos Hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel faced onto a beautiful sandy beach. There was a good buffet breakfast and there was a cafe/bar/restaurant on the ground floor looking out to the sea.

The ratings are based on the excellent value for the price we paid. It's not the poshest hotel but it was clean and friendly and the location is excellent
Phil, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Despite being a small hotel it was ideal for us. We needed a clean room close to the sea and available parking. For parking you need to ask the front desk to provide the address, a 5min walk from the hotel

Lovely little basic hotel right on the waterfront

Lovely little basic hotel right on the waterfront. Immaculate good sized rooms, comfortable firm beds, comfortable table and chairs on balcony. Brollies for beach and balcony. Hot water, WiFi, TV all excellent. 10-15mi s walk to old Town and plenty of good restaurants and bars on the doorstep. Will definitely be back.

Yann, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a basic hotel, but clean and comfy. Amazing to get a place right on the most beautiful beach! You also save €5 on beach umbrella & chairs because you stay here. Tons of restaurants here and a 10-15min walk along the water to get to old toqn. We didnt have any problems. WIFI is slow in rooms but works amazing on the beach. Amazing place to stay for the money!

Very nice, comfortable hotel in a great location

Danaos was a very nice experience, the hotel is located literally 10m from the beach and just a 10-15min walk from the centre of Xania. the rooms are comfortable and nice, with a balcony facing the beach/ocean. The staff creates a very personal and pleasant atmosphere, they helped out with any questions I had with regards to sights and travels etc. I had a small issue with a door, which they fixed right sway. Very pleasant experience.
