What guests think
Nostos Hotel sits in the heart of Chania's Old Port, prized for stunning harbor and lighthouse views, steps-from-everything convenience, and warmly helpful hosts who arrange taxis and tips, while its traditional, quirky building offers character over modern uniformity.
Balcony rooms are popular, but expect many stairs and no elevator, some small or awkward layouts, occasionally dated bathrooms, and pockets of unreliable Wi-Fi. Cleanliness is generally strong with regular linen changes, though one guest reported poor housekeeping and maintenance. The waterfront location brings lively evening noise from nearby restaurants and bars, while breakfast earns consistent compliments, often with fresh orange juice; car access in the pedestrian zone is limited to certain hours, so plan to walk luggage. Overall, expect a charming, central stay with historic character, balanced by lively nights and older-style comforts.

Beautifully preserved building, blocks from access by car, but near the waterfront. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. As with any older building, some of the spaces can be a bit awkward as compared to newer functional spaces.

Both this small hotel and the area are charming, with a very helpful owner and nice staff. Our room had a view of the White Mtns and access to the roof. Breakfast was very good. We felt very at home here.

The owner described his hotel as a Labyrinth and it is really quirky. I,d like to go back and stay in each of the 12 bedrooms as they're so different and the roof top terrace is a bonus.

We Loved this hotel! The owner was very nice and Aria was so fantastic to give us advice on beaches, and assure us that the drive was easy! Thank you, Aria! The hotel is SO comfortable with excellent AC and is located on the cutest street / pathway in Chania. Note: we knew nothing about parking so we parked in the closest spot we could find, walked to the hotel to check in, then reparked at a dirt parking lot not too much farther (that we knew was legal). Easy!

This is a lovely traditional older property - lots of stairs, no lifts/elevators. A rooftop open air lounge area to enjoy the views. Close to pretty much everything in old Chania. The harbor and all the shopping and restaurants you could ever want are literally steps away. Charming, helpful and accommodating staff. Highly Recommended!

Ultimately the best location in Old Town - incredible views from the window and balcony looking out at the port and the lighthouse. Plenty of amazing restaurants around, lots of places to do shopping. One word of caution though: car access is only allowed between 7-9 am, so if you arrive or leave at another time you’d have to walk with you luggage for about 1 km. It’s a level walk, but it can be hard if you have a lot of luggage.

I had a very late arrival, past check-in time, staff stayed up and waited for my arrival, and showed me to my room. I selected the sea balcony view room and was EXACTLY what was advertised on the website. Facilities were far beyond what I expected, having aircon, a fridge, mugs, a kettle, a TV with some english channels. I chose to get breakfast along with my room, however, was not told on arrival it stops at 10am. I arrived on my first morning to order breakfast to realised it had been stopped. Staff were understanding of my situation and made a special exemption and made me breakfast past the time. Each day my bed was made and bathroom tidy at a convenient time where I was not present. Hotel also comes accompanied with a sun roof which was to my surprise. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone want to explore Chania. Had a wonderful experience :)

The hotel was very unique! The rooms connected to a rooftop terrace overlooking the harbour and lighthouse in Chania. The service was very welcoming and the location of the hotel was excellent! This hotel is very convenient if you’re going to check out the Old Town in Chania. One issue with this hotel is the amount of stairs – many stairs are required just to get to your room! Another issue is the bathroom – it is fairly basic and could use some improvement.

We loved being right in the old town of Chania just one street back from the sea. The room provided all we need and the Hotel had a rooftop sitting spot with an excellent old port view. We didn't like that we could hear our neighbors; especially the noisy child...

We stayed for 5 nights. Pros: The hotel is located very central. All the shops/restaurants are around. The staff at the reception are very helpful from the instructions how to get there and booking some excursion. Cons: the rooms needs a lot of TLC. The room was never cleaned, not the floor neither the bathroom. Not even changing the bedsheets, only the towels. The toilet isn't flushing at all. The walls seem like they are made of paper, you can hear everything from the other rooms, the reception and everything from the street and the restaurants (literally every conversation).

Price was inflated due to last minute booking, not worth inflated price. Average stay for someone who is concerned about location above comfort, the staff are really nice, and the place was always clean.

The location is fantastic, right on the front at the old harbour. The staff were friendly and helpful with rubbish bins emptied daily and bed linen and towels changed regularly. The building dates from 1400’s and it’s quant and quirky which we loved. We chose a sea front room with a balcony and were delighted with the fab view. The only disappointment was the Wi-Fi as it wasn’t dependable. However, all of the tavernas and restaurants that we visited had free Wi-Fi. We intend to return to Chania and NOSTOS will be our first choice.

It was exactly what I was expecting from a small boutique hotel. Great location and access to local restaurants and shops. The room isn’t super exciting, small bathroom and not much space around the room. The double room was the perfect size for one guest, but would accommodate 2 with no problems. I would definitely stay here again.

We couldn’t have dreamed of a better location and view from our balcony! This is close to many restaurants and shops. Yannis at the reception desk was very welcoming and helpful. This is old but wonderful. If you are expecting something perfect and new do not stay here. If you’d like something authentic, close to everything in the Old Port and with a breathtaking view of the lighthouse and harbor, this is your place. Make sure you specify room with a balcony. Highly recommend Nostos Hotel!❤️

The rooms and bathrooms are a touch rustic, but the hotel is still beautiful.

I had a very late arrival, past check-in time, staff stayed up and waited for my arrival, and showed me to my room. I selected the sea balcony view room and was EXACTLY what was advertised on the website. Facilities were far beyond what I expected, having aircon, a fridge, mugs, a kettle, a TV with some english channels. I chose to get breakfast along with my room, however, was not told on arrival it stops at 10am. I arrived on my first morning to order breakfast to realised it had been stopped. Staff were understanding of my situation and made a special exemption and made me breakfast past the time. Each day my bed was made and bathroom tidy at a convenient time where I was not present. Hotel also comes accompanied with a sun roof which was to my surprise. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone want to explore Chania. Had a wonderful experience :)

Location
Outstanding harborfront location in Chania's Old Town, steps from restaurants, shops, and sights, with excellent views. The lively setting can be noisy at night, and car access in the pedestrian zone is limited to certain hours, requiring some walking with luggage.

Ultimately the best location in Old Town - incredible views from the window and balcony looking out at the port and the lighthouse. Plenty of amazing restaurants around, lots of places to do shopping. One word of caution though: car access is only allowed between 7-9 am, so if you arrive or leave at another time you’d have to walk with you luggage for about 1 km. It’s a level walk, but it can be hard if you have a lot of luggage.

We couldn’t have dreamed of a better location and view from our balcony! This is close to many restaurants and shops. Yannis at the reception desk was very welcoming and helpful. This is old but wonderful. If you are expecting something perfect and new do not stay here. If you’d like something authentic, close to everything in the Old Port and with a breathtaking view of the lighthouse and harbor, this is your place. Make sure you specify room with a balcony. Highly recommend Nostos Hotel!❤️

Both this small hotel and the area are charming, with a very helpful owner and nice staff. Our room had a view of the White Mtns and access to the roof. Breakfast was very good. We felt very at home here.

I had a very late arrival, past check-in time, staff stayed up and waited for my arrival, and showed me to my room. I selected the sea balcony view room and was EXACTLY what was advertised on the website. Facilities were far beyond what I expected, having aircon, a fridge, mugs, a kettle, a TV with some english channels. I chose to get breakfast along with my room, however, was not told on arrival it stops at 10am. I arrived on my first morning to order breakfast to realised it had been stopped. Staff were understanding of my situation and made a special exemption and made me breakfast past the time. Each day my bed was made and bathroom tidy at a convenient time where I was not present. Hotel also comes accompanied with a sun roof which was to my surprise. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone want to explore Chania. Had a wonderful experience :)

Hotel is querky and full of character all about the location in the heart of the old town surrounded by shops,bars and restaurants. You need to be able to carry your luggage as the taxi can only drop you outside the old town area and you have to walk to the hotel and with no lift again you need to carry your luggage up the stairs. But if you want to go on holiday and be in the heart of a Greek old town we would really recommend this lovely hotel. Also the hotel is run by a local family that have owned it for a long time and go out of the way to ensure you have a nice holiday.

Nostos is very conveniently located, 10 minutes away by foot from the bus station, also close to most places of interest in the old town, the property is beautiful and well maintained, I personally love the construction details, the floorplan is very inviting, and so the lovely terrace. Great continental breakfast, and last but not least, very nice and helpful staff, I would stay at Nostos again
