The view from our windows over the curving harbour of Chania was outstanding! Many photos were taken of the water and shore sites and activities of this beautiful scene! Georgio and Teresa were wonderful hosts. Georgio helped us up to the top floor with our heavy luggage and then spent quite a bit of time describing best restaurants for various meals and times day. He is quite proud of Chania and Helena Hotel. We had a wonderful time and look forward to staying at the Helena Hotel next time we’re in Chania! *****

The view of the sea and the Venetian Port from my room was excellent. The location in the old town is convenient and charming, as is the hotel itself. My only caveat about the Helena is its lack of an elevator - it's a rare hotel in the old town that has one. The same is true in the old towns in other Cretan cities. If mobility is an issue request a room on a lower floor. If you have a car parking is a beast, but that's true of everywhere in Chania, especially the old town. That's just one of the very few downsides to Chania and it's a small price to pay for what one gets in return for the charm of the place and this hotel.

Lovely staff and cute little hotel right in the middle of the old town. In a very picturesque walk way. It’s a little dated and has very tiny rooms with even tinier bathrooms with a little personal shower. Not ideal for two. If you have a large suitcase good luck finding space for it

The bed was comfortable, the room was very clean and the location was great to walk around the old town of Chania. I really recommend it.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay here. The hotel is well situated and we had a lovely view of the harbor. Room was spotlessly clean with thoughtful amenities including coffee, comfortable bed, fridge, safe etc. George was so helpful and gave us some great suggestions as well as answering my curious questions about life on Crete. We felt safe and comfortable here and would highly recommend for a stay in Chania.

My room has a very good view of the Venetian habour. George and Ilissa are extremely helpful and friendly helping me to know the nearby area, restaurants and attractions. The location of the hotel is perfect for fist timer. It is mid point between the Venetian port and Nea Chora Beach. 10 – 15 minutes walk to other major attractions and the Central bus station.
